Thank you to Dr. Nelson and Amy for making my Hawaiian dream come true! We had the best time. We also went parasailing, but I don't have the pictures yet... they are on someone else's camera. I now have the bug to go deep sea diving....

What an amazing world underwater!! God is so creative and awesome!! I just got a little taste of what the ocean holds. It fascinates me... so, I think I will add scuba diving to the ol' bucket list and go get certified.... look out world, here I come... =0)

It's a BOY!!

For my Mother's Day gift this year, I got a darling card from Lenzi & Ben and a one way ticket to Vegas the day before the long awaited ultrasound appointment we have all been waiting for!! We get to find out the sex of the baby!! We were crossing our fingers for a little girl, since Lenzi and I are surrounded by boys... but, after seeing our little guy covering his face wih his hands and then finding his mouth and sucking on his fingers... we forgot what we wanted and just wanted to hold him NOW!! He is so adorable. He was wiggling and kicking, we kept asking Lenzi if she could "feel that". She couldn't, her placenta is in front of her stomach so she will not be able to feel the baby for a while... =(

That afternoon, we all traveled back by car to SLC. We spent the weekend together... Lenzi and I, of course, went baby shopping.... found the cutest bedding at Babinski's in Foot Hill Village. After looking at how much everything costs, my reaction is OH BOY!!

This is him sucking on his fingers!! (I am gritting my teeth, he is so cute!!)
