Wes' Wakeboarding

This is Wes wake boarding at Lake Powell. We went there with the Sessions family. It was a lot of fun! Wes loves Lake Powell and wake boarding is his favorite sport. Check out Wes doing a flip.

Lake Powell
















Another summer, another trip to Lake Powell. We really love our yearly trip to Powell. It was really low-key for me this year, since I am pregnant. Although, I enjoyed the relaxation time. Kylee loves to knee-board, and Wes can't get enough wake boarding while we're there. If his body could hold up, I think he would wake board everyday, 3-5 times a day. The weather was good, but a little windy. It actually wasn't hot this year. We even had to use blankets at night when we slept, very unusual.

Yellowstone Pics





























Too many pics to post all in one. What a great vacation. Thanks Mom and Dad for sponsoring our trip! We love you all.

Family Reunion in Yellowstone
















There were moments we thought we were in Disneyland, with all the crowds. However, Yellowstone really was grand. It was nice to spend time with all my family, and see a little of the beauty that the world has to offer. Kylee loved playing with her cousins.

I'm pregnant!

After almost 4 years of trying, we're pregnant! I've taken over 400 pills, over 100 shots, had my blood drawn over 20 times. It has all been worth it now, because we're pregnant. We're still a little nervous though, because it's still very early in the pregnancy, but we are so excited that we had to tell.

We find out if one or both of the embryos that were implated took. We could be having one or more! We would love twins (two for the price of one), but we're grateful for whatever we get. I'm feeling good. I still have to take a lot of medicine, so my hormone levels stay where they should. I still feel like a lab rat, but it's getting better. My butt has gotten used to the daily injections, and I don't feel as sore as I used to.

Kylee is excited to have a baby brother or baby sister (and a puppy). We told Kylee that we're not getting her a dog until after we have a baby, so now she is really excited about getting a puppy.

An update on our family planning

As many of you know, we are doing in vitro. I had my eggs implanted on Monday, and now I'm on bedrest, waiting for them to take. We'll find out in 10 days if it worked. We do have one egg frozen in Las Vegas, but we're really hoping this time it will work. It's so expensive. I'm grateful for modern technology though. I'll keep updating my blog--stay tuned!

When I count my blessings, I count you twice.

I am so lucky to have my daughter. She is such a joy in my life. She makes me laugh everyday. Just a hug from her melts my stress away. I love Kylee, and I'm so grateful for her. This post is dedicated just to her! Ilove you KYLEE!
