16 weeks

I am feeling WONDERFUL!!!! never knew the sickness would ever end!! And i can't believe we are at 16 weeks... i know i haven't posted a picture but many of you want one so i'm sure one of these days i'll get one taken and put it up for ya. In the mean time i'm feeling great!! My energy is back, i'm not feeling sick and feel like i can finally get out of the house a little more. We find out what we are having on January 19th and can not wait for that day to come... I even have a count down on my computer at work. Nerd i know but want to know what is in my belly haha
Christmas was wonderful!! Christmas eve we went down and saw zach's family down in grantsville which was fun cause we don't see them often and then we went over to his families house and played a bunch of fun games. We stayed up WAY to late but is was so fun to spend time with them. Then we went to my family christmas morning had breakfast and opened presents and then out to his family to open presents. Then later that night we went and saw True Grit which i thought was good but Zach still says it was not as good as the old one. Anyways just wanted to post something so everyone knew we were still alive!

Thursday night happened to be a night for a meteor shower it was so fun to watch!!! I loved being up in the mountains, however, this was the night we all froze in our tents until about 8 in morning when it started to get warm haha it was so cold!! i ended up calling zach and he brought a warmer sleeping bag and stayed with me it was so nice of him!!! i'm very spoiled with the husband i have!!!

This is our new friend alex!! She is so cute!!! she is from England and we loved to hear her talk!!! She was here visiting family and decided it would be fun to come... she had never been to girls camp before but i think she had alot of fun!! She had alot of first here with us!! She had never had a twinkie and her first were excellent, she also had a sloppy joe for the first time and she liked that!! I hope she will come again!!! Her dad was also a trooper staying up there the whole time with us at one point he had not slept in 42 hours but he was amazing!!

here is what the girls did most of the time that we didn't have something planned for them, it's string that they then make into bracelets!! Yes i did have them make me one they are so cute!!

This is the start of our craft covering book of mormons!! thanks to everyone that donated paper it turned out so good!!!

Here i am spraying the book so it will stick to the paper at the end of this i was very sticky and very dirty but it was all worth it to see the girls so excited to tak them to church the
next week and also give them to the girls that were not able to make it to girls camp

Here wendy is showing the end of our craft we covered book of

mormons they turn out so cute!!

This is wonderful wendy!!! This is taken just before our last big activity to lead into the testimony meeting it was a compass activity that i think the girls really liked!!

Iron Man Boise, Idaho 2010

Here Zach is getting marked up, they put your number on both your arms and then your age on the back of your leg
This is Zach probably wondering what the heck he signed up for
This is me really not wanting to let him go and wondering what condition he would be in crossing the finish line
Here is Zach with his mom and dad they are so amazing, they drove up to be support zach and be with me so i wasn't alone all day. They have raised such a wonderful son and are always setting a good example for us!!!

And off he goes to start this adventure
Zach's wonderful dad was so worried he sat on the edge and waited till he could see zach swimming in to get out of the water... we were all pretty stressed about him at this piont the water was really cold and they were pulling people out due to hypothermia

and finally he's out it didn't take him long though we were quiet proud!!


now he's getting ready to get on his bike

and off he goes on his bike after swimming 1.2 miles

he's done with his 56 mile bike ride which he was telling us at this point was not very fun due to 30 mile per hour head winds that made him have to actually peddle to make it down the hills

and there he starts running the 13.1 miles to the finish line

FINISH LINE:)

Getting wrapped in a foil blanket so his body temperature doesn't drop too low

so glad to have him in my arms and done, he wasn't in too bad of shape he had some muscle cramping but he is such an amazing person and is showing me all the time make goals and you can reach them!! I'm so lucky to have him!!

And this is what happened to us on our way home flat tire, oh well right?

ONE YEAR

A year ago we were married, we can't believe it has gone by that fast but here are a couple of my favorite pictures of that wonderful day!!

We decided to celebrate Zach finishing school and our first year anniversary and go on a cruise!! It was so much fun and a time we will never forget!!! This is us waiting to get on the plane to head to LA:)
