Warning this may be a long post but I guess that is what happens when you take quite the hiatus from blogging. It is not like i had nothing to post about, actually quite the opposite but we have been so busy playing, working, and trying to get settled into the new house that blogging just got pushed farther and farther back on the to do list, but I have so much to report I couldn't hold out any longer!
First off we had a blast in Utah!!! It was so good to see everyone and just be with family. Note: I was horrible at taking pictures this trip so the pics are sporatic and don't capture everything we did. We were able to celebrate both our birthdays while in Utah, go to the Nelson Family Reunion and stay up way too late for our own good. I have decided I need to start planning vacations for after I take a trip home, we end up coming back more tired then when we left! I will begin to post pictures to document the journey!
P.S. Don't have a picture to document this but while I was in Utah ON MY BIRTHDAY, Bekah's friend who is an ultra sound tech snuck me into the hospital to tell me once and for all what I am having. She has a 100% right track record so I was so excited when she confirmed that it was a GIRL!!! That baby girl was moving and kicking when she was doing the ultrasound and gave us a full leg spread which made things a lot easier. I have already started getting cute girl things from friends and family. Let the spending begin, ha ha!
DATE NIGHT IN MIDWAY!
One of my best friends Amanda and her boyfriend Jeff invited us up to his place in Midway for the evening, we had so much fun swimmming, eating pizza, and taking a ride on this giant 4-wheeler. I had such a blast and it was so good to spend time with the two of them. I should have taken a picture at the pool because it was so hilarious...Hank and I are both so white and they are so tan. You could tell we came straight out of Canada!
Excited for the ride!
MY BIRTHDAY
I had the best birthday ever. I spent the day hanging out with my sisters and mom, got an ultrasound, Birthday Dinner at Magleby's and followed it up with a late night watch of the Bachelorette with the girls. We stayed up way too late but it was so worth it! Thanks everyone that made my birthday so special!

Like I said I was treated well on my birthday!
My cousin Sara was the best while I was in town, she would come anywhere or drive anywhere just to see me!
THE KIDDOS
Like everytime I come to visit seeing all the kiddos is the highlight of the trip. I always miss them so much. I was horrible at taking pictures at the Nelson Family Reunion but I also loved spending time with all those kids, we had a blast swimming and running around the campground. I got to meet two out of the three brand new Nelson side babies and can't wait to meet Caleana's newest one, we missed him by a day!
I may be biast but I think I have the cutest neices and nephews ever!
Graham Bam, too cute for words!
Jane, she has gotten so old!
Claire showing me her new trick!
Allie and Kate!
HANK'S 30TH B-DAY BASH UP AT THE CABIN
I decided since Hank was turning the big 30 I would throw him a party. We had many wonderful friends and family come join us up at the cabin for a BBQ, it was so good to see everyone and just hang out!
Ok so I think I am done for now. Hopefully I didn't bore you too much. Like I said we had a fabulous time but it does feel good to be home!
Maybe I can get some pics from Greta and katrina to prove I had a fabulous time in Lava hot Springs at the Reunion!
