The Unfortunate News..

Unfortunately I miscarried today. It is sad because this is the 2nd Miscarriage Shaun and I have been through. Yes I am upset, and discourage, but I also know that my Heavenly Father is watching out for Shaun and I, and he has our best interests at heart. Shaun and I both feel confident that we will have a baby soon enough, until then we are trying very hard to be patient, and look at the positive side of things. :)

Brandon and Krysten's Sealing

This past weekend Shaun and I drove down to California to be there for his brother, Brandon's Sealing. It was a very long drive to do in two days but we are so happy we got to go. It was so amazing to be there with all of his family. All the older children, us wives and Shannon's boyfriend were there together in the Temple, and that is something that hasn't happened before. We had a great time being with family and being able to be there for Brandon and Krysten!

WE ARE EXPECTING!!!


It is blurry but it is definitely 'Pregnant'

Last Tuesday we found out that I am pregnant. We were thrilled and scared all at that same time when our pregnancy was confirmed by a blood test later that day. After our miscarriage a year ago in July and it taking me a year to get pregnant again we were worried that it might not happen naturally. Although we are so grateful and SO EXCITED we are still holding our breath but so far things are looking good. Shaun and I were also blessed with the opportunity to go to the temple and pray about it and then I received a blessing from Shaun and my Dad. I feel confident that things will go well with this pregnancy and we hope to have a new little addition next May.

What we have been up to...

August and September have sure zoomed by as we have kept busy with our jobs and a few additional things added to our schedule.
The end of August through the first week of September we watched my aunt and uncles 4 children while they were away in Hawaii working on a job with my grandpa. We had a lot of fun with the kids, and got a taste of two working parents taking care of children! We tried to make it fun to keep their minds off missing their parents by going to Pirate Island (sorry pictures taken with a phone, so blurry warning).
Taylor was hungry and tired of waiting

Me and three of the children...one was away at a soccer game
We also took them to Chuck E. Cheese. I forgot how much fun it is there. It has been so long since Shaun and I have been to fun places like that!
These are the pictures you take and Chuck E. sketches them. This one is Russell

We had a blast with the kids! Thanks Heather and Burton for letting us watch them!
