It's a Girl!!



So on Monday we went to have our ultra-sound. Both Nate and I had a feeling that we were having a little girl. It was true! The very first picture was showing our little girl. She wasn't shy at all. Nate was hoping a little bit that we were having that little boy. But we are so excited for Aleena to have a little sister. She came to the appointment with us and was very excited. After the ultra-sound when I was just laying on the exam table she took one of the pictures and held it up to my belly and said, "mama, this baby is in your tummy"
I have went a little crazy and already bought 5 matching outfits for both of my little girls.

The day was even better because it was April 6th. Two years ago Aleena become leagully ours. And on the 7th is the day that we went to the temple to have her sealed to us. So today we went to the temple and walked around. The grounds were actually closed so we just took pictures outside. Aleena loved every minute of it.




Update on life!!






I know that I haven't blogged in months. We have been more than busy!! Life just doesn't stop there is always something going on and something to do. At the beginning of March Nate and I went on a cruise to Mexico with Ammon and Sonny. It was such a blast!!!! It was so nice to get away and relax in the hot weather. I had morning sickness (all day sickness) the week before really bad so I was worried. But, I did really good and only got sick one time. We misses Aleena so much I think that was the only bad part of the trip. My wonderful mother-in-law and my sister Miriam watched Aleena while we were gone. Aleena kept telling Miriam that "mom and dad were lost." Miriam would tell her "no they are on a boat". She than would day "mom and dad are lost on a big boat" After we got home she would pray that we would never get lost again. It was so great to be home.

We have been to Logan a couple of times since this last month to see all of the baby animals. Aleena loves every adventure that we have. Our Adventures coming up will defiantly include lots of camping. Nate sold his motorcycle so that we could buy a camper for the family. He is not one that likes tent camping very well. Aleena already wants to sleep in it. We are so excited for all of Nates days of.
At the beginning of this week Aleena and I took a trip with three other moms and 4 other kids to St George. It was a long drive but so much fun. We stayed at my friend Carries house that was like a total resort. A playground, bbcourt, and swimming pool just out the back door. All the kids had a blast and played great together. It has been such a blessing in our lives to live in such a great area and have such great friend. For both Nate and I, but especially Aleena.

Early this morning Shaleena and her family got here for a weekend get-away. Aleena took about five minutes to warm up and now she is talking their ears off. I did warn them. We have already went shopping, played at the park, dyed Easter eggs and just played. Every time Shea leaves the room Aleena is not far behind. We are so grateful for such a great Birth-mother. We love that open relationship that we have. I will post more about our weekend a little later!!
