Wowsa!

Time just flies these days....

1. 12 weeks. I made it to the "safe" 12 week mark and was able to hear the baby's heartbeat on Thursday. The midwife had a difficult time finding the little one- but it came in at 170 bpm when we finally found it.

2. Boating. I'm so happy boating season is finally here! Saturday we picked up the boat and took her out for a spin around the lake. It was cool and cloudy- so it was just a fun trip to see that she's running good- but it was still fun.

3. Memorial Day. We hadn't made any plans because Jake was planning on going in to work at least a half day- but he ended up not going in at all. After getting chores done in the morning (lawn-mowing, cleaning the garage, cleaning the boat) the weather was looking much better than predicted and so we called up some friends and went out boating. The water actually wasn't too bad (74 degrees) and not too crowded or choppy. Jake hoped on in for some kneeboarding and wakeboarding- and then Jeramiah followed after him. After him some clouds rolled in that made the air a little chilly, so we anchored up close to shore and let the kids try to catch fish with the poles and tackle we'd brought. Then we headed in and hurried home for a BBQ. Becca and Barrands joined us for that (they were also out with us on the boat) and it was yummy and fun. What a great day!

4. el templo juntos. Jake and I are doing pretty good at getting to the temple weekly and together monthly. Saturday morning Kari watched the boys so we could go and do sealings. I got a little woozy at one point- guess I didn't drink enough water that morning- but it was still really nice.

5. Family fun. Friday night we took the boys to see Monsters vs. Aliens (sounds scary- but it is an innocent kids show- I promise). It was fun, although we didn't know it'd be in 3D. Josh thought that part was cool ("Woa! That was right in my FACE!") but Dekker was too cool for the glasses and got a little restless 3/4 of the way through.
