Much to say...

Much has happened these past few weeks that I can't let go by without sharing these wonderful blessings.
We enjoyed a wonderful Easter with family and we loved every session of conference. I do love how my birthday always falls on conference weekend. I love hearing those brethren speak and being uplifted by there words.
Saturday morning i enjoyed a wonderful breakfast in bed by this man that i love and then as a very special birthday gift in between session we went to fetal photos and found out were having



A GIRL!!
We couldn't be happier! She's all I think about! I'm excited to get a big belly, feel her kick, hold her and to be her Mom. Every once in a while Caden will remind me, "We're havin a baby!" He's thrilled! (He's been so patient with my picky eating, smelling random things and my tired body.) When we went to the appointment my sister told me drink a lot of ice water so she will be alert and moving. Sure enough when he put the camera on her she was kicking and flipping. It was so fun to watch her move. After a few minutes the technician noticed she had hiccups! We watched as every 3 secs her body would jolt with a hiccup. She looked perfect! (I think she already has Caden's nose.) I am officially 18 weeks today and we are expecting her September 22!

MORE EXCITING NEWS.....

We were ecstatic to find out last week that Caden will now be fully employed by the LDS church as a seminary teacher! After interviews, observations and a year of student teaching it was now just a phone call away. When Caden got the call he said he couldn't stop shaking out of excitement. Now there's just a little more waiting to see where we are going to "be sent", but we did decide and Caden put on his application, that we would go anywhere. We are so blessed to have this as a career. I have loved this year as he has student taught because the spirit has been so strong in our home and we have learned so much about the scriptures. He loves interacting with the kids he teaches and is always sharing with me his love and concern for them. He is such and amazing teacher, there is no doubt in my mind he will be amazing at this. I'm excited for you sweetie and lucky I get the be you're wife to share it with you! Thanks for all your prayers!
our lives are so blessed!!
