Hey everyone!
Jake, Sadie and I have big news!! Well, first of all, we are all doing great. Everyone is healthy, Sadie's fevers have gone away, and we're all happy! Except now Sadie has a toe issue that she has to go see a podiatrist for, but other than that, we are all great!!
We got to go to see the kids this last weekend in Salt Lake. We were just going to pick them up in Wendover and bring them back but our Great Grandma (Shannon, Hailee, Justin, and Sadie's Great Great Grandma) passed away so we went for the viewing and decided it would just be all around cheaper and easier to just stay with my sister Jen for a few days.
I curled Sadie's hair for the viewing. She looked like a mini Shirley Temple! So cute!!
Nana Cay was almost 91 years old. She was a great role model and inspiration to all of her grandchildren, great grandchildren, and great great grandchildren. She was very, very loved and will be missed by many.
Rest in peace Nana Cay. We love you and miss you but know that you are with Papa Norm again and so so happy.

Jake and I went with Missy to Shannon and Hailee's parent teacher conferences. They are doing so great in school! Those girls are both so smart! Missy does a great job with helping them learn!
Blow kisses Sadie!
Okay Shannon, you can blow kisses too ;)
While we had the kids this weekend, we did all sorts of fun stuff! We went bowling, to the zoo, and rode Trax to City Creek Center on Saturday.
We just renewed our zoo pass and we're so glad we downgraded instead of upgraded because half of the zoo is closed again for 2 years for their next big remodel/update! They are putting in an African Savannah exhibit and they are going to have zebras, giraffes, LIONS, and something else but I don't remember what it was. We are so excited to see the next exhibit open up in 2014. It's going to be so great! Probably not as great as the Phoenix Zoo, but it is still going to be pretty darn neat!
The wolf. These were the only things we got pictures of. Kept forgetting to pull out the camera! Although, I am getting better!
The baby snow leopard was so stinking cute! He was 6 months old and his mama was being very protective of her baby. Kept her eye on the crowd at all times.
The kids love riding the Trax. They call it the train, which I guess it technically is a train but its still cute. Is it just me or does it seem to go faster now? Anyway, at City Creek Center we went to the Disney store. We didn't buy anything, so all it did was make me want to go to Disneyland.. Oh my gosh I can't wait to be able to take Jake and the kids there!! They're going to have a blast!!
After the Disney store, we went and found the fountains and let the kids run through the water. They. Got. Soaked! But it was so much fun to watch them play in the water. Justin and Sadie both got splashed in the face because they weren't paying attention. I wish I had gotten pictures of it, but I didn't get a chance to. We were having too much fun watching!
Okay.. So now for the REALLY big news! Jake and I are expecting baby #2!!!
Hooray! Got our BFP (big fat positive!)
We are so unbelievably excited!! Our EDD (estimated due date for those who don't know what EDD means) in June 1st 2013! So as of right now I am 5 weeks. We're already throwing names around.
So I'm saying goodbye to a good nights sleep, and hello to the toilet. (morning sickness, Yuck!) and I'm already picking out nursery colors and furniture! Haha talk about early planning!!
We're not sure if we're going to find out the gender via ultrasound or not. We want to be surprised, but I think the anticipation will kill me!!
Hopefully we have a boy, because poor Justin needs a brother, but a girl will work for us too. As long as he or she is healthy.
Well, I think we are officially up to date with everything! I'm going to try to update at least once a week on Sundays. So, TTFN
Loves,
Marissa
