Positive Again!

That's right, we're pregnant with baby #2! It seems crazy, I know...I still can't believe it's real! Everyone keeps asking us if we were trying ALREADY for another one. Yes, yes we were. It took us a few months to get pregnant with Lincoln so we figured it would be the same...wrong. As Derek says to everyone, this one took about a day! But, even though it happened so soon, we are very excited! We heard the heartbeat last week. That really is one of the best sounds ever! And we even got to see the baby and a heartbeat the week before on an ultrasound...cute little thing. I am due October 31, making Lincoln and the new baby about 18 months apart. I've been fortunate this time around because I haven't been nearly as sick. I'm still nauseous during the day, but as long as I keep eating I'm in good shape. Now we just need to get Linc to sleep through the night. It's killing me! I'm so exhausted and he's still up all night! Anyway, we can't wait to add another little one to our family and start on a whole new adventure!

Thanksgiving Dinner with the Petersons

We had Thanksgiving dinner down in Lehi with Derek's family this year. It was great to be with them and the food was DELICIOUS! We were definately grateful this year to have a happy, healthy baby and to be together as a family!

26 Years Ago...

Derek was born! Actually it was 26 years ago in November, but since I quit blogging for a while, here it is! Lincoln and I met Derek at work for a quick lunch so we could wish him Happy Birthday. Later that night we met up with Carli and Corbin and some good friends Jason and Stefanie for some dinner at Derek's favorite place...Red Robin! It was fun to go out and and visit with friends and family. We went to the mall after and Derek found some shoes that he loves. It wasn't much, but it was great to be together.

That was the best we could do for a smile!

Jason and Stef. They are such good friends...they make sure they are at EVERYTHING!

Guys Night

Derek has been fortunate enough to have a few "Guys Only" nights to break him away from the stress of work (and home)! He went with a friend that he does scouts with to the Metallica concert and has had the opportunity to go to a few Jazz games, thanks to iFreedom. He plays basketball with some friends on Thursday's and with the ward guys on Saturday's. And, every chance he gets he's on the golf course! We love him and are so grateful for all he does to work hard and provide for us! He definately deserves those fun nights every once in a while!

Metallica at their best!
