And then there were four...

Hey everyone! Im sure most of you know that Ryan and I are expecting our second baby due October 5th, and we found out today what we are having.....

A BOY!!!

We are so excited and are definately blessed to have another addition to our family. We saw our cute little baby sucking his thumb already! He is 14 ounces, really healthy, and photogenic as the ultrasound tech would say! We are happy to be here in missouri and tucker definately loves seeing his "papa" and "grammy" as often as he gets to. I am still gettin used to all of the storms you guys have here in missouri but hopefully i will get over it! Anyway, love all of you and hopefully there will be a birthday dinner sometime soon! Take care.

Sydnie's Graduation

FYI - If some of you didn't know, Sydnie's graduation was postponed due to damage from the storm on Friday. The High School was missing some roof, electricity, and had 3 inches of water on the floor :(

The good news is Sydnie still gets to graduate. Graduation is now set for Wednesday, May 13, at 7:30 pm in the SBU chapel in Bolivar, MO.

Happy Cinco de Mayo

Joey Mortensen

By now I think everyone knows that our crazy, loving cousin, Joey Mortensen has Pancreatic Cancer. He and Vanessa have set up a web page so we can keep up with his treatments and send and read messages from them and all that love them....I thought I would pass it along to anyone that wants it..(It is nice to be able to laugh amongs the very big tears)

carepages.com you have to sign in and get a password then search for joeymortensen.....

send them your stories and your love and prayers....

I say this all the time....I am so very thankful to be apart of the best family and to know and love you all!!!!

Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right and pray for the ones who don't. Believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy; they just promised that it would be worth it

Rex, I just wanted you to know how much I love you and how proud I am of you.... for all you have had to go through this past year. I am humbled at your example, your patients, and your ability to not speak unkindly of anyone. You have shown our family true Christlike behavior. At times that has been seen by some of us as weakness. You have many strengths. I am grateful for your testimony of the Gospel, for the way that you honor your priesthood, your priesthood duties and the service you give to others. You have a great love for the Savior, for your Children and for your Family. Take comfort in the Atonement. Know that Heavenly Father KNOWS you and LOVES you. He knows ALL. He knows the truth as do those that know you and love you.

Love you Rex

Making it through the freezing weather in Rexburg aka Iceburg

Bradly and me are here in Rexburg with all the freezing weather. Finally, it is starting to thaw out. We mostly pass the time in library, gym, or walking around in Wal-mart. Bradly has been running a lot, but Todd and Laura give us so much ice cream, its hard to tell that he has ran so much. We are moving home to Willard for the summer. We will have an apartment by the Police station. There will be a pool, hot tub, and party room. So, anybody want to party!? Come on over!

Everyone needs to know that even though this is a hard economic time for all of us, this Summer is going to be the Summer of Fun!! So get your party pants on!

Savanna Will Be Eight!!!
