Yes, all good things must come to an end! We have to go back to Arizona to start our 4th year. It is always so fun to come home and spend time with family. We have had the best time and the next time I get to come home there will be some changes - I will have a new baby and Dallin will be on his mission. Change is never easy, and that is why saying goodbye this time will be especially difficult for me. I hate knowing the next time you do something it won't be the same. But, I guess that is what makes life exciting. I am telling myself that anyway! Connor hasn't always been the easiest little boy and Dallin has always been able to still communicate and play with him. He has had so much patience and love for him and now that Connor can communicate a little better they play so cute. Everytime Dallin makes up a game with Connor I feel the tears start to come. I am going to miss Dallin so much and just how good he is with my little family. I hate goodbyes.

Mother's Day was so special this year! It was so fun that Matt and I were able to see our mom's and also my grandma. It is such a special day to celebrate Mother's and their important role in all of our lives. I am so grateful for my examples and am especially grateful that I can be a mom myself. My mom really gave me the true desire and example to just be a mom and serve my kids and put them first. I love you so much mom and you are the most amazing mom I could have ever asked for. How am I so blessed? I am also so grateful for Matt and the wonderful husband and friend that he is. It is also so fun to see my sister's as little mother's and how good they are, and how cute they are with their kids - I love you Jess and Krys!! Happy Mother's Day!

It has been so fun to be home! What a nice break. Matt is doing a Dermatology Rotation here with a guy from his home ward, so that has been so fun for him. Here are just some pictures of the past week. Doug and Rebekah came for a couple of days before they left for the summer and it was so fun to see them. I won't be able to come home again for awhile because I will be too far along to travel, so I am just trying to enjoy my time. Even if there is snow on the ground on May 1!! Global Warming huh???

A Box..Really?

Such a good big sister!

I ordered Sophie's dresser online and when it arrived it came in 3 huge boxes. So, Matt started to set it up and my kids seriously thought they were in heaven . They got in the boxes and just played in them forever. Who knew that cardboard, bubble wrap, and styrofoam could be so much fun. It is so cute how the kids imaginations just go wild with the most simple things. Then, after a long day of playing Connor fell asleep and Sadie was right there to cuddle him.

It's Still A Girl!!

Today I went in for my "re-do" ultrasound. Last time they just couldn't get the shots they wanted. They were pretty sure it was a girl, but 85% wasn't good enough for me. Well, today they said 100% girl. So I was relieved. Everything that they couldn't see last time looked really good and I was so grateful and feel so blessed. We are going to name her Sophie, and Sadie loves how it sounds with her name!! We can't wait to welcome her here, but until then, I will enjoy feeling the flutters and the kicking. I love that part!

Dallin's Mission Call

My little brother Dallin got his mission call tonight. It was so exciting! It was so hard not being there for it. But, my mom called and put us on speaker so that we could hear. Hearing his voice read his Mission Call was very emotional. He has been such an unbelievable boy. He got called to the Manchester, England Mission. Matt actually guessed it before he opened it. He said he could see Dallin going to England - London or Manchester. Here are just some pictures we have of Dal with our little family. We love you Dallin and couldn't be more proud!

Me with my little brother!!
