On the 24th we had our neighbors the Kramers and Flowers over for dinner and fireworks. We did this mostly because the Flowers are moving to Boston this Saturday. Laura has been accepted to Law School there. This is such a sad time because the six of us have become so close. Laura is just the sweetest kind hearted person I know. She helped me out and was there for me alot during our invetro process. and Brice, well he is just a great guy who loves to tease all the time. And then there is Jack, We have been able to watch jack grow into a handsome little man. I remember taking dinner to them the night after they brought Jack home! Laura and Brice and Jack we all love you and will miss you so much. We wish you the very best in your new adventure but know that we will all always be friends for life. 1450 west will not be the same with out you!

Weekends

I love the weekends. Although they are just as busy as weekdays it is so nice to just be able to be with Brooks. So often our weeks of work get in the way we remember on friday nights that we still live together. This weekend was pretty busy Saturday i hosted a Baby shower for my friend and neighbor Britney she is having a baby boy and she is due one day after our baby boy is due so it is going to be so fun to have babies the same age. The shower was a success but it was a little warm I decided to do it in the back yard and it got a little toasty but we survied. Brit got some cute stuff and is one step closer to having her babe. After the shower I cleaned up and rested for a while then my mom and I went to my Best Friends brothers wedding reception that was fun, Sally loked so pretty (that is my Best Friend) then after i got home Brooksie and i went and got cafe rio then came home to bed. Then today we got up late and decided since we dont get to see each other much we would take the day off of church and go for a drive so we went up through Morgan then down through East Canyon it was so beautiful we had fun just being together and talking. Then we went to dinner at my moms and vistited with grandma and Aubrey and ki. My sister in law aubrey is so ready to have her baby i think Baby Macie is going to be here before we know it. I will at least be able to get some practice with her before Braxton comes. Well the weekend is over and it is back to work tomorrow but it was a goot one. Brooks asked why i have not posted any cabin or 4 wheeling pics on here yet so here are some they have nothing to do with this post but here they are. Have a good week!!

Tired

Do you ever get to the point that you are just so tired that you know if you go to bed your could sleep for 3 days straight without intterruption. Well that is how I am feeling today. I have been working night and i hate it. I wish could just work normal hous but i am trying to do what i need to do for our family so i will just buck up and be glad that i have a great job. But that does not fix the fact that i am tired. I am sure it is only going to get worse with midnight feedings and diaper changes but i can not wait for that!!!! I am going to Lunch with Lindsey (the birthmother) on Thursday I am so excited. I love that we get along so well and have such a great time together. I will try and remember the camera this time to get some pics. Well i am going to go to bed so i can get some of the sleep i am talking about!!!

Beattie Family Disneyland and Cruise trip

Brooks's parents took us all on a cruise and to disneyland for our christmas gift last year. We had a blast. Here are some pics. Thanks Mom and Dad

Disney Mexican Riviera Crusie

The end of April my sister in law called and said she found a killer deal on our travel agent site for a Disney Crusie and said they were going to take the kids and go and wanted Brooks and I to go. We hurried and booked it because there were not many slots left then come to find out brooks could not get off work. So mom came with me. We had such a great time together. It was so fun to just be the two of us. And we had a blast with Bre and Talm and the kids as well. I am so lucky to have a mom that i love and we always have a good time together and i am also very lucky that i married into such a great family and i am so close with Bre she is truly the sister i never had. Here are some pics. Enjoy!

Good News

Well It is finally happening, Brooks and I are going to be parents. We are adpting a baby boy to be born in september. My mom met a young girl at her work that stated she was placing her baby for adoption. My mom told her our story and how we have been trying to get pregnant and have not had success. So mom gave her her number and told her if she thinks about it to call us. So guess what the ball has been rolling for about a month now. She called we did our paperwork, she picked us as a match and we just met face to face last week. She is an absolute doll and has such a great head on her shoulders. She said that she just could not pick anyone else but us. Needless to say I am having a ball getting ready for a little boy. It is super fun and we are very excited, Brooks of course has already made his trip to cabelas for a camo outfit. He is so excited to have a little hunter coming. We are planning to name him Braxton Lane but of course you never really know till he is here.
