EASTER!!!

we had a great Easter in Idaho too...here are a couple pictures!

and the race in on! we had an Easter egg hunt the day of Kayla's wedding at the church. it was after the luncheon and before the reception...we make the most of our time! there were about 15 kids in the hunt with all the cousins, nieces and nephews, so we were highly entertained.
little cousin ryker had a great time too looking for eggs!
here's Blaine and his cousin Paige from Denver! those two were inseparable! they had so much fun together!
Easter morning...this is cousin Paige again!

Julie's Wedding

One of my best friends from high school just got married today, so CONGRATULATIONS JULIE AND MIKE!!!! she looked so pretty in her dress and the reception was beautiful! Julie and Mike are such a cute couple and we are so glad they are now married!! :) Julie also lived right across the street from me growing up, so i have so many memories with her! she was always there for me when ever i needed her and we even shared the same "crush" in high school! we have been looking forward to having another "married couple" to hang out with...and i know she has been baby hungry for the last 2 years, so who knows, maybe our little baby will have a buddy not too far behind! (but let's just take one day at a time!) GOOD LUCK YOU TWO! always love life and each other! we love you!

me and julie, her dress was so beautiful, i wish i could have gotten a better picture of it!
cutting the cake, which was super yummy!
getting ready to catch the bouquet!
jake and cindy. we had such a blast! :)

Going Public...

So, Jake and i decided it's time for us to fess up. we need to take care of any rumors that have been going around about us, so here it is:


WE'RE HAVING A BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!
yep, that is our little peanut there in the ultrasound! we are so excited and just can't wait! i'm about 11 weeks along, so we are due october 4th! it's seems so far away! blaine is so excited to be a big brother, he just wants a baby so bad to take care of! i have to admit that at first he was a little disappointed that there is only one baby....he has been wanting twin since day one! (a brother and a sister) but then he turned to the doctor and said "that's ok, we can have a little sister later!" if you can't tell, be wants a brother!

we went to the doctor for the first time earlier this week and so far everything is great! we LOVE our doctor. i heard about him from some friends...his name is Dr. Thein in Dana Point. he is awesome! at first it was a little weird/funny because my father-in-law's name is Thaine, but i got over it! i have been super blessed and not been sick! i was sick for like a week, but then i stopped taking iron and now it am GREAT!!! i was kind of worried since i have been feeling so good, but the doc said all is well! the little guy was even kicking and moving all over during the ultrasound!

this is why i haven't blogged in so long...i have kind of had other things on my mind! we are so excited and are looking forward to a growing family! since blaine will be almost 5 when the baby comes, we figured now would be a good time to expand!! :) wish us luck! :)
