Check out the Belly on THAT Girl!

Danny told me to choose a pose that was not the standard two hands on the belly-I'm pregnant pose. I guess I really don't need to put two hands on my belly to make anyone notice that I am with child. I feel like a zit that is begging to be popped.
I am currently ripe at 34 weeks and on the count down to push-this-baby-out day. I can't wait. I keep telling myself not to feel this way. To enjoy every moment of this pregnancy, but I am so excited to hold our little boy and see his face, that it is easy to drift into hurry things along mode.
My belly has become the entertainment at school. Every Tuesday when I return from my long weekend, the kids marvel at how much my stomach has grown in the last four days. The preschool children, who are belly height, stare with wide eyes in amazement at this mysterious growth I have budding under my clothes. And names....oh the subject of names! Danny and I have chosen his name, but after testing it out on my Grandma Rawson...who's reaction was priceless...it has made us think twice about sharing it with anyone until he is actually here and bestowed with said name. But since I know all of you will be much more gracious than my Grandma, (or you'll just keep your "What the hell's" to yourselves) I will bravely announce that we are going to name our son Tucker William. William is after my Dad, who was very excited that we were naming Tucker after him. He even suggested we could call him T.W. So, as I sit here continuing to grow, I look forward to all of you meeting our little boy and hope for a good birth for Tucker! Wish me luck!

The Train Show!

As many of you know, we have a little boy who is completely and madly in love with trains.
Thanksgiving point hosted a train show, and we had to go. Here is Jesse checking out the Hogwarts express!
Jesse loved all the tracks and was talking to all the old men setting up their collections. Our Family! (James looks excited!)


We ran into Danny's brother Jeff and his boys, Will and Drew. The boys were so excited. The four of them stood at the Lego train, pointing out all the "cool" details to each other for about a half hour. It was definitely a fun night.

Our new Little Friend...


Over the Christmas break, we acquired a new reptile friend. Her name is Lilly. We adopted her from my boss, Lori, who lives in a cabin up above Park City. In order for Bearded Dragons to grow, they have to have adequate heat, and Lori was concerned that living in a cabin where the power goes out constantly, was not a great environment for Lilly. Luckily, James has been wanting to have his own pet that he is responsible for, so I brought Lilly home one night and surprised him. He has been so cute with her. Lilly has a spunky personality...she presses her body up against the glass when you walk by her aquarium, as if to say, "who's coming to get me?!" She is also a great eater, and we don't have to hand feed her like we do with Lizzy. Our house just keeps getting fuller...doesn't it?!
