Family Love!

Sometimes I just can't believe all the love and support I receive from my family! The other day I asked my mom if I could borrow some of her walking videos, and if she would get me some of the Melalueca prenatal vitamins. Well, she is such a sweet heart and in two days there was a little care package from my mom with the sweetest note. What a sweetie! Not to mention a gift card for Derek's birthday. Derek's parents also sent him some money and some things we left over Christmas. We are so spoiled! I just sat back and thought, wow, what awesome families we have. I am often overwhelmed by the love and support our families are to us.

Last week, Lindsay and Jeff came to visit! It was so nice. It was perfect timing because I was on the verge of a meltdown. I had just been feeling so sick and I was really tired of it and Derek started working evenings and I was just really struggling. Well Jeff and Lindsay saved the day. They came down to Utah and it was so relaxing. It was so great to have company. Here is a picture of Derek and Brett playing the guitar.

Here's the little princess just jumping away! It's so cute, she jumps on one foot and loves it to death!

Happy Birthday Derek!

Yesterday was Derek's birthday and wow, what a great day! Derek and I both got work off and had the most enjoyable day. I kept thinking to myself... Man, I could do this everyday! I know that a day off was much needed and if I had everyday off I would not enjoy my time so much but wow, it felt nice!

I woke up early (semi-early:)) and decorated our house for Derek! I was so excited about decorating for him I could hardly sleep. I woke up probably five times and would check the time or the color of the sky to see if I should get up yet and decorate. Anyway, I learned a great lesson... you get what you pay for. Haha! Look at this Happy Birthday sign from the dollar store. Anything look a little off? How about the double A at the end of birthday!

I ended up just getting caught up in the birthday spirit and went to the store after decorating to get supplies for a nice breakfast in bed for Derek. He ended up waking up and doing homework while I cooked breakfast but we went back in bed to eat breakfast!

Here is the nice "cake" I made for Derek. Derek and I are not the biggest fans of cake, so I decided to make his favorite desert instead... FRUIT PIZZA! I made a cute 23 out of grapes because I felt like I needed to practice my creative skills before baby comes!

Speaking of baby! Here's the bump! I know it's not very big, but baby is growing everyday! I am already a proud parent... I went to the doctor today and baby had a strong heart beat! I was so PROUD! I'm serious too, I am proud of my little nugglet for working so hard to develop and grow!
