Our Little Dancer


Reese had her dance recital last night. She did so wonderful. I am so impressed with how much she has learned this year and how much she loves to dance. She continues to impress us every day. Adam and I really can't spell out anything any more because she knows how to spell and read sooo much. She loves to do arts and crafts and is such a great drawer. I love all the cards and pictures she draws me and I tear up every time. She is growing up so fast. We love our Dolly so much and we are so proud of her!

Also a couple more updates. The baby is growing perfectly. As of June 12, she is 2.5 pounds. She looks right on track. I'm in my third trimester and it's hard not to assume that I will be induced two weeks early, or in 9 weeks, like my other two pregnancies; however, this pregnancy has been to the extreme so who knows! I had to take a 3 hour glucose test because I failed the screening test. Talk about a pain! You have to drink this sugar orange drink which has MORE sugar than the first glucose test, but first you need to have your blood drawn. Oh yeah, and then you get to come back every hour, for three hours, and get your blood drawn. My poor arms were bruised and by the end I was shaky and weak due to not eating for so long plus the crazy jolt and drop in sugar. Well, I survived and passed! Thank goodness.

Adam is now working at the DATC as an Adjunct Assistant Electronics Professor. Basically he is the teacher there in the evening to help the students. He will have to teach lessons every once and a while, but for the most part, he is just there to answer questions. He also just had an interview for a Co-op Electronics Engineering position at L-3. Our fingers are crossed, but it's a tough position and one that they said has always been filled by University of Utah graduates. In any case we are very grateful for the job at the DATC and Adam has enjoyed his first week there.

Noah is potty trained! A-woohoo! He caught on really, really quickly! In his first week he had 5 zero accidents days in a row. Then he only had one bad day and was back on track and dry ever since. Potty training Reese was such a struggle for me, probably because she was younger, I was pregnant with Noah, and Adam was working and going to school so I was doing it all on my own. I have been so grateful that Adam has been home and is working in the evening right now so that he can help me! I think it really sped things along. Yay for no diapers...for the next 9-11 weeks at least :)

Well, I think I have gone on long enough! Love you all and hope all is well. Oh and I am going to take a picture of my garden and post it soon. I got a tomato on one of my plants! Yay!

Oh! One more thing, I promise! Happy Temple Anniversary Babe! Six years ago today, Adam and I were sealed for time and all eternity in the Bountiful Temple. I love you hun and I'm so glad that we are an eternal family.
