December again...

Well its almost December again where has the year gone?
November was pretty eventful for us we found out that we are expecting a little boy! Seems like everyone guessed a boy except for me. We are super excited. We have the crib put together and we're working on clearing out the rest of his room. I can't wait to get it all decorated and see him in it.

We had a pretty quiet thanksgiving. Both Neal and I had the flu that week. We had my mom and brother and sister over for dinner. I am very grateful for my mom, she took care of everything so I could rest!

We are looking forward to Christmas. We have the decorations and stockings up and the tree is all decorated. For Christmas we will be traveling to Utah to spend time with family. Its hard to believe that this time next year we will have a little one of our own to play Santa for.

We hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday season.
Merry Christmas.

Fall Update

Well it has been a busy year since April.

W got a new puppy. Her name is Lola Boo, she is a 1 year old Cocker Spaniel Poodle mix. She is really sweet and spook's eailsy. She and Lugnut get along great though.

In May I went back to Wisconsin for my Uncle Glenn's wedding. It was really great to see family. I got to meet my step-mom and spend time with my little siblings Nathan 3 and Johanna 1. They are cute and a handful.

In July we went up to Utah for the 4th of July. It was so fun to hang out with Neal's family and our little neices and nephews. They are growing up so fast.

In August Neal started the fall semester at school and life got back into the daily routine of work and school. We got called to be leaders in our ward nursery. Only about 20 2 and 3 year olds.

We soon realized that this calling would be a blessing in helping us prepare for what is to come...

Shortly after we were called to the nursery we found out we are expecting!

Which brings me to our latest news. I am now 3 months pregnant. We are very excited and very greatful for this blessing from our Heavenly Father and greatful we have made it this far.

I am due April 18th (unless they change it. lol) Hopefully we will find out next month what we are having.

Miracles

"And because he hath done this, my beloved brethren, have miracles ceased? Behold I say unto you, Nay; neither have angels ceased to minister unto the children of men." Moroni 7:29.

We have received a miracle! Michael is doing so much better. He is off of life support today! He is awake and can speak and focus on visitors. His brain injuries are healing very well, his neck and knee fractures will heal. He needs to be in the neck brace for the next 4 weeks and he will have surgery on his right knee sometime next week.

We are ever grateful for our loving Heavenly Father and his mercy on Mike's behalf. We are grateful for your prayers and faith. Thank you everyone for all that you have done.


Also, we have a new addition to our family. We adopted a 1 year old female cockapoo (Cocker spaniel and poodle mix). Her name is Lola. She is very sweet and gets along well with Lugnut. Pictures to follow soon.

HOPE, FAITH AND PRAYERS

For those of you who don't know Michael was in a bad car accident early this morning. He is in critical condition but we are hopeful for his recovery. We ask for your faith and prayers on his behalf. He's in the trauma icu right now and we'll keep you updated.

Thank you for your faith and support of our family at this time.
