Our New Pet...

Here is our new pet...well until he stops growing. We decided to wait a while longer until we are done moving to get a dog! So mean while I have to get my animal fix so we were at the store the other day and I saw this "Grow your own Turtle". I thought hey this will be perfect for the time being! Its probably a good thing because all I have to do is make sure he has enough space to grow, no changing water, no feeding or cleaning up after! I kinda like the lill DUDE...he reminds me of the turtle on Finding Nemo!

We had such a great Easter weekend spending time with our families! When the guys went to the Priesthood session on Saturday night, us gals made these yummy sugar cookies!!!

Whats Easter without decorating eggs? Let along I was craving deviled eggs too!
Here we are coloring our eggs!

The Easter Bunny surprised Brent and gathered together a basket for us! Obviously, the Easter Bunny didn't realize how much he bought...he bought the basket first then everything else, it didn't all fit! But we sure had a great and fun Easter!!

As far as a baby update: everything is still going great. I went to the doc today and he said that I was a very healthy 24 year old. We got to listen to the heart beat and it was still very strong! I'm still feeling great and trying not to eat EVERYTHING that I want!! We will find out next month what we are having!!

Why...

This is why I just LOVE being a stay at home mom...well future mom!!!

I just love to bake! Making rolls and sugar cookies remind me of Easter/Conference weekend! My mom always made these rolls on conference weekend, so I gotta carry on the tradition! See mom, you always thought I wasn't listening when you were trying to teach me all these years...SURPRISE!!! Tomorrow is sugar cookie day! Happy Easter to all!

Happy Birthday...

I just wanted to give a shout out to my cute niece Vylett! She is such a cute little monkey and I can't believe that she is 8 today! We are excited to go to Washington next weekend for her baptism. She is growing up so fast and it seems like yesterday that she was born. Here are some pictures that I have taken the past 3 years of some of our fun memories. (I have other pictures on my other computer in storage.) This one is my absolute FAVORITE, this was taken at my wedding reception 3 years ago! Cute little Foxxy Cleopatra!!!

Her birthday when she came to visit in Idaho 2 years ago!

Vy being silly playing dress up!

This picture was Bo, Vy and me taken last August when they came to visit!

Happy Birthday Vy and hope you have a great birthday! We love ya!!!

Fairwell...

Well, time has come for us to sell one of our cars. Since Brent has started work, they gave him a work pickup so therefore that would leave us with 3 cars. (Gosh, the baby has a car and it isn't even born yet!) So we decided to elimate one vehicle. So we put Brents pickup up for sale and we had a few people interested but no catches. Well, as I was blog hopping around, I found a friend that was in need of a new car! So I informed her that we have an extra that we could sell. Well things worked out and they ended up buying Oj! I won't lie, I was sad having to give up Oj. But, I am glad knowing that she is going to a good family and they will take good care of her as much as I did!! So as for now, I get to drive Burt around. Which has been fun since we are in the process of looking for a SUV of some sort! Nice thing is that we don't have to get something right now and we get to look around until we find what we want!!!
(Kate this one is for you, my Ford girl!!)

Travelocity

So we had to come to Utah for the weekend. Brent has been inching to get a good deal on a hotel so he went onto Travelocity. I'm always nervous because you just put the type of star you want and that is what you get for a cheap price. He is at training so I'm the lucky one that gets to stay in the hotel dump or not! Well we ended up getting our reservation at La Quinta. We looked up it and it didn't look too bad, they just renovated it and it had a free breakfast so I wasn't going to complain! Brent kept calling yesterday to see if our room was ready yet because I had no where to go. Well, sad to say, it wasn't so he dropped me off at the mall!!! DANG!!! We came back later to check in and when we walked in it looked pretty nice, bathroom, vanity area, nice KING size bed, microwave, fridge, etc. Well we walked around the corner from that and there was a super sized jetted bath tub! We were shocked, we got this from Travelocity for a cheap price. Well we were looking at the map of the hotel and we realized that they put us in the suite. Hey I'm okay with that! We are guessing that they upgraded us because we called like 4 times to see if our room as done! Thanks Victor at La Quinta for giving me the luxury!!

Heart Beat...

Today we got to hear Baby Cakes heart beat for the first time! Can we say WOW it was a strong beat and fast! Both Brent and I eyes went wide! So, its official to say that Baby Turpin will greet us in mid September! We are looking forward to seeing what it will look like. I'm almost 13 weeks along now. I've been blessed with no morning sickness. Just a little blah here and there. Half the time I don't even notice that I'm pregnant!
