Baby on the Way

We found out a few days ago that we are going to have a baby about the end of June. We are very excited. I posted a little countdown here on our blog, that has an update what the baby looks like. Its a bit freaky looking right now, but it will get better!

Go BYU!

So, 2 weeks ago was the first byu game. And we have tickets for all the games with Merrill's brother and sisters. For this game, Merrill's 2 youngest brothers were in town. So, we were all at the game, including Stuart's (merrill's brother) fiance (they got engaged the night before). Here are a couple pictures from the game, and one from our friends baby blessing.

Sharon, Evan, Eric, Me, Merrill, Stuart, and Missing Kelly (not sure where she was). And Stuart's fiance Genevieve (taking the picture).




Not sure what I'm doing in this picture!

PIZZA!

I made pizza the other night! I did the dough in my bread maker, it was kind of stuffed crust too, but it leaked out a bit, but it was still Yummy.

Seven Peaks

We went to seven peaks water park a couple weeks ago with our friends. It was 2 days after I got my wisdom teeth out, so my cheeks were still a bit puffy, and I tried to keep somewhat safe from hitting my face so I didn't do all the slides, but my friend Brookie is pregnant, so she couldn't do anything either. We had fun!

Waiting in line to get in. We thought it opened before it actually did.


We called this the toilet. It's about has fun as it sounds!



In the wave pool, which didn't really ever have waves, and was a bit too warm for comfort. But we still had fun.

This was the funniest slide, we went on it 2 or 3 times!

New Calling

Well, Merrill and I have been in our ward for ten months, and we got our first calling last week. We are teaching the Sunbeams! We taught for the first time yesterday. The class is split into 2 classes. There are usually 4-5 kids, but yesterday there where only 2, but for the first day for us it worked out great that way. We had fun, but we can already tell that they are gonna be a handful. During sharing time they had to draw a picture of the temple, and one of the little boys said "I can't draw that... I don't even know how to draw shapes." It was the funniest thing. Overall the day in primary was long, but good. I had a hard time singing all the songs and talking to the kids, my mouth got sore cause I had to have my wisdom teeth out a few days before. Luckily I never had them on the bottom, so they only had to worry about the tops, which are the easy ones.
And to keep you all updated since I haven't really done that. Merrill is now going to school full time to finish faster. He had to quit his job with springville city, and he now works for the tree crew on BYU campus. He's worked with them for about 2 weeks now, and has enjoyed it. He is getting in the experience that he needs for the future. And he started his full time summer classes last week, and its kept him pretty busy. But at least he will finish school in a little over a year instead of 3 years. Which means, we will be leaving Utah sooner than we had planned before. Hopefully moving to the Northwest. Thats the plan for now, we will see what happens as time goes by.
