Throughout Our Week

This week we saw a glimpse of SPRING! Everyone and everything just seems a little brighter now that we've seen the sun peek out again. After enjoying a little shopping last Saturday I came home to Damon playing outside with the kids and giving Bailee some golf tips. I love watching Damon interact with the kids. It means the world to them.

Monday was the start of my 18th week. The baby has definitely been growing! I still can't believe how blessed I am to be feeling well enough to enjoy this time like I have. Bailee had a blast taking my profile pictures. As much as I would like the time to pass, I kinda want time to stop as well. I love this experience.
Loving the baby belly!

Thursday through Saturday were the warmest days so far. The kids spent every available minute outside with the swarm of neighborhood kids. All day Friday I spent doing yard work. I've missed yard work so much! My brother spent the night on Thursday and ended up doing yard work with me. It was fun spending the day with him, enjoying the chatting, the gardening, and of course the sun.

During the past several months the 3rd graders at Bailee's school participated in RAD kids, a self defense program. To finish the program , the kids with 100% attendance went to the school on Friday evening to show off their skills to their parents. Bailee has loved RAD kids and talks about it at home constantly.

You go girl!

Saturday and Sunday were set aside for general conference. In church we talked about King Benjamin preaching on a tower and the people pitching their tents to listen. Bailee and Trey put up their tents in the living room in front of the TV to listen to our prophet. We watched all 4 sessions together; listening, playing conference games, and eating munchies. Saturday we enjoyed a BBQ and some bad mitten between sessions. Unfortunately, we woke up to a couple inches of snow this morning and had to forget about playing outside. Other than the snow, what an amazing weekend. Perfect family time, and we got to listen to our prophet speak.
Precious.

Last exciting news before we begin a new week. Today Damon was resting his hand on my tummy hoping to feel a kick, and he actually felt one. We were pretty excited. Love sharing this with him. And only 1 more week until my next ultrasound.

Then the shopping begins!
