A little Surprise....

 i didnt take any pictures of this before i sent it off. (hated that) so i was so happy to see when i got home that my family did. this is how we told my family that we were having a baby ......

they opened it on easter, it was just a golden egg, they cracked it and .... surprise.
we have taken pictures almost every week and since you dont have a belly to show for quite some time we used fruit to show how big the baby was. my family has done an easter egg hunt with the grand prize golden egg ($100) so even though we didnt send them a benjamin they were still pretty excited!!


I was 16 weeks so it was a really big surprise
blueberry.grape.lime.lemon.apple.avocado.


  and now im 28 weeks so i have a lot to catch up on.

my little surfer boy

L had a last minute workshop cancel so we headed down to the shore. We were LUCKY enough to spend the night in a great beach house right on Ocean City. It was a dream come true.... waking up to the sounds of the waves crashing always is. We have decided that we definitely... someday... will have a beach house and live a beach life....and always have beach bodies :)

Mother dear I love you so....

 Its never too late to tell my mom how much I love and appreciate her is it.....?
It was so nice to be in St. George with her on mothers day, even though it was a very low key celebration {she pretty much made her own mothers day breakfast and dinner} but at least I was there to share it with her.
She is; amazing, graceful, loving, selfless, beautiful, talented, classy, intelligent, humorous, spiritual, big hearted, and everything I wish to be someday!! love you mom!!

I love tulips..... especially for mothers day.
{thanks dad}
