New Years Eve

Here we are re-uniting! We were all roommates up at BYU....yes we were known as the short apartment. It was so much fun to catch up on what everyone was up to and talking about the past! We sure had some good times together and very grateful for the experiences that helped me grow into who I am today!

Love my Husband to death!!

Anniversary-Two Years

Burke really surprised me this year! I had no idea what he was planning until about a week before our anniversary. He was able to earn some extra money that I had no idea about and planned a little get away for us. I had mentioned a few months ago that I would love to do a couples message together. Little did I know it was already in the planning. He played off my comment like he wanted nothing to do with it. It was the best thing any woman would want when being pregnant. We got there a little early and were able to relax in mineral pools and then enjoy a FULL HOUR body message! It was absolutely amazing! I love you so much babe and thanks for always thinking of me!

HAPPY 2-year ANNIVERSARY!

I have been wanting to make him a blanket for some time now so for our anniversary I put one together. It is made with pictures from the past two years and then some of our old t-shirts from our past. It was so fun to surprise him with!

Christmas at the Ranch

This year for Christmas we were up at the Family Ranch with Burke's Family. It is always nice to get away to a quite place where no one can reach us. Everyone in the Family was there except for Graham (Kate's Husband) and we missed him so much!!

Fun to have two grand daughters old enough this year to show excitement! Can't wait for Hinckley to join them soon!

This year I was finally able to finishe Burke's Mission Book. I had a blast putting it together and I think it was almost more fun to give it...I could hardly wait! I love how importnat his mission is to him!

We hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas too!

(I had more pictures to share but computer was not working with me)

Christmas Traditions

Every year my mom makes chocolates, Peanut Clusters and Reeses Peanut Butter Cups. They are very delicious if you ask me. This year I was able to make them with her! It was so much fun to go from beginning to end and learn for myself how to make them.

32 Weeks

Finally posting a picture at 32 weeks. Tomorrow I will be 34 weeks. We are amazed at how fast time flies...Hinckley will be here in about 6 weeks!

Thanksgiving and 28 Week Photo

I am a little behind on blogging since we don't have the internet and I have started working full-time until the baby comes! We spent Thanksgiving with my Family over at my brothers home. So much fun to be around family and see those we haven't for so long (both mine and Burke's family)! We also had a great time ringing in the Christmas Season with a Christmas Kickoff with Burke's family including good food and a classic Christmas movie (don't have any pictures to share of that). Here are just a few photos from Thanksgiving--

We spent some time outside with the grandkids...Burke was awesome to help them build a big leaf pile!

They all have their own little personalities...We can't wait to see what kind of personality Hinckley adds to the mix!

Here I am at 28 weeks. Today I am 30 weeks and 4 days so this picture is a little old. I can hardly believe how close we are getting to having him here! Life is going good...I am getting used to the diabetes, there really isn't much change except for not eating very many sweets. Not hard at all at this time of year ;). Burke is just finishing up with his finals and then he will be home free for the Holiday Season! We are so excited to be able to spend some more time with family and the time is going to fly!

Today I am Thankful

-This time of year just helps us to remember that-

Last night we watched the movie "We are Marshall." Have you ever seen it? Definitely a must see in my opinion. It is an emotional film but one that helps you remember the loved ones in your life who you should be thankful for.

1: Thankful for my Husband, Burke. He is so amazing and most perfect for me. Going through this emotional ride of me being pregnant and just dealing with it, I'm sure isn't easy. He reminds me of the good things in life and that everything will be okay through the little things he does everyday. Without him I would be even more of an emotional wreck! The best decision I ever made was on October 13th, 2007, when I said YES! LOVE YOU BABE

2. Baby Hinckley. So thankful to have this little guy inside of me and having the privileged of feeling life everyday. His POWERFUL movements remind me several times a day of the great miracle/gift we are given to create life. I am extremely thankful that we are being trusted by our Heavenly Father to raise this little guy and can't wait to meet him on his BIRTHday! Our love for him grows deeper everyday!

3. My Family. My family is incredible. Of course we have our little corks like everyone else but they accept me for me! Now that we are older and each starting our own families it is so much fun to get together and reminisce about how truly grateful we are for our immediate family and amazing parents who raised us and provided us with a great lifestyle. THANKS!

4. My in-laws. I could have not asked for a better family to marry into. I truly feel like I am PART of the family. I BELONG. It is so nice to marry into a family who has the same beliefs and standards that I am used to, raised a son into an amazing man, and now treat me as one of their daughters! THANKS!

The Ability to LOVE is amazing...we once had a speaker in Church talk about how he learned to love. It took him until his mission to actually know what it feels like. He would always have his companions telling him that they loved him, but he could never tell them back. He had the hardest time expressing love. Today I am most grateful that I can look Burke in the face and tell him I love him and he can say he loves me to...I am excited to be able to tell my son how much I love him and for him to one day say he love me too!
