Who loves Utah???

I just got back from Utah and had the best trip! It was a very short trip, but I was glad to be able to go at all. The main reason I went was to go to my niece Vela's sealing. She was sealed to my Becky and Hema in the Mount Timpanogos Temple. All my siblings were there and it was amazing. It was such a wonderful day! Vela is so adorable and was a complete angel the entire time.
The next day, there was a HUGE luau in her honor. Here are some pics.

She had on this cute little pink Tongan outfit and it was adorable. I seriously could not get enough of her. She is such a sweet baby!

Of course there was a pig...it's a luau! This pig was huge and I was convinced that there would be left overs...NOPE! It was a hit! Everyone loved it!

I love spending time with my sisters! They are so much fun to hang out with. It is always a blast when we get together!

While I was there I also got to see my new niece Lydia. Sterling's sister Rachel is such a cute little mom and Josh is a great dad. Lydia is soooo cute! She has the most fabulous curly hair. I hope our baby gets those curls...or at least some of them!

It was great seeing you all. I wish I would have had more time to see more people. But it was really nice to spend time with family. It isn't very often that all my siblings are together! See you all in July!

Ash came to town!!!

One of my best friends in the entire world was in town last week and it was so great to see her. Ash and I have been friends since the sixth grade. She is adorable in every way and so much fun to be with. She has been such a great friend to me and it was so great to see her. We went to dinner in Georgetown and then shopped around and hung out.
It was great to see you Ash! Thank you for coming! Can't wait to see you next week in Utah!

The big 30!!

So my wonderful husband turned the big 30 on Sunday! In case you are new to reading our blog or just haven't met Sterling, let me inform how amazing he is.

-He is the most enjoyable person to be around. There is never a dull moment in our house.
-He is such a wonderful husband in so many ways. I never could have imagined that my life would end up this great!
-He is devoted to the gospel and helps me be stronger.
-He works so hard in school, while he is also working part-time.
-He is a kid at heart(Lego cake need I say more).
-I am not sure there is a soon-to-be father out there that is more excited than he is. He has been so patient this last two and a half months while I have been useless. He is SOOOO excited to be a dad, and I am more excited to see him be a dad!
-He loves life and lives it to the fullest. If you have ever been anywhere with him, you know what I mean. We always get our money out of every site we visit and I love it!
-He is just the best! I could go on and on and on and may never paint a clear picture of just how wonderful he is.

Here are a few pics from the party!!.

I made this carrot cake and of course had to put some lego guys on there to make it complete! Thanks to all who came and helped us celebrate!

NOT A GOOD DAY!!!

To start off, I am so completely happy that I am pregnant. There is nothing that I have wanted more in the last two and a half years. Most of the time, it doesn't even bother me that I am sick, or that I throw up, because it reminds me that I am pregnant. The last thing I want to do is sound like I am complaining because I am so very excited to finally be pregnant.
That being said, Thursday was the worst day yet. I was so sick I canceled all my clients and laid on the couch all day and all night with breaks of losing it. By the time my cute hubby came home I was a wreck. All I wanted was a popsicle. Nothing fancy, just a plain, cold, fruity, yummy, popsicle. This is what Sterling came back with....

2 kinds of popsicles, three kinds of ice cream, strawberries, and bananas. What a great selection! He is so wonderful. He has been so patient and understanding through this last few months.
We are both looking forward to me feeling better so we don't have to be on the "survival" diet anymore. I really look forward to cooking again...and enjoying it when it is finished!

I can't wait for conference!!!

I really cannot wait for conference! I look forward to it so much each year. I love everything about conference weekend. I love enjoying time with family, sitting around and eating, listening to all the fabulous talks, the beautiful music, girls night out while the boys are a priesthood, I pretty much love it all!!
Last Saturday I went to the YW broadcast with the girls in our ward and it got me so excited for this weekend. Along with the YW presidency, Elder Eyring spoke. He is so amazing and gave the best talk. I felt like it was totally directed at me.
I am really looking forward to this weekend.
*Plus Sunday is Sterling's 30th birthday....
