little Girl!
We just thought we'd share with everyone the wonderful news we found out today. Ben is very excited and keeps asking when the baby will be here. I keep telling him after his Birthday she'll come.

Life Today
So this last month has been a crazy month! I'll try to fill you in quickly and then hopefully post pictures once we've moved and have settled in.
1. Dane is NOT going to Student Teach in Star Valley, Wyoming anymore. We will be staying here in Logan for another year and he will Student Teach here. Then go where ever the Lord wants us to be. We are excited and Dane is a little nervous about getting started, but can't seem to wait!
2. Ben had a wonderful little Easter here at our house this last month. Poor Dane was sick with a migraine and didn't get to enjoy it as much as Ben and I did. But we hard boiled eggs, didn't get around to coloring them. Ben got to go on an Easter Egg hunt in our front room. And loved his Easter Basket! Dinner was yummy with Ham, Twice baked potatoes, corn on the cob, and deviled eggs. So far Ben has struggled a little with me hauling him everywhere to look at different houses and apartments for rent. There have been many days filled with tears and him begging to just go home. Poor little guy is still worn out and we are now packing up our house. So far potty training is slow and steady. I'm not trying to hard until we've moved. Then we'll really work on it!
3. We are moving in a few days! We finally found a place that we love and will love us too. We are so excited to have 3 bedrooms and a garage for storage and parking! We love the neighborhood and look forward to spending the next year of our lives there. So far I've had my Mom help me pack some boxes. I've organized things and am slowly packing a little each day. Dane keeps asking me where things went. I keep telling him he'll just have to live without it for a few more days because it's in a box somewhere!
4. We are finding out this week what we might be having. Our ultrasound has been scheduled a little late because I've been in the middle of switching Dr's and Dane finishing up school. We are hoping for a healthy report and maybe a gender!
5. DANE IS GRADUATING WITH HIS BACHELORS!!!!! And we couldn't be more proud of him. He is grateful for it to be done. He's enjoyed learning, just not the homework and special assignments that take a lot of his time.
6. I am slowly growing bigger everyday. I will post a "belly picture" soon so that you may all see how large I am getting and how HUGE I will be by the end.
Hope all is going well in your lives and that the Lord is ever watchful of your family and your needs.

Jelly Beans & A Movie
One night Ben wanted to watch a movie so bad. It was getting late and I didn't want him up. But the little boy was VERY persistent!! He kept asking and asking. So this is how the negotiation went down.
B: Mommy, I want to watch a movie pwease! I be a good boy.
M: Yes, I know you've been a good boy but it's getting late!
B: Mommy PWEASE!
M: If you go Pee in your potty I'll let you watch a movie.
B: (Marched right back to the bathroom. Took off his pants. Took off his diaper. Sat down. PEED!!)
B: Ok Mommy I get a movie now! And a jelly bean! (This is the treat we use to bribe him into going potty at least once a day.)
M: (I'm in complete shock as I hand him a jelly bean.)
M: Ok we'll get you a movie.

Creativity Unlimited
"If you are a mother, you participate with God in His work of creation—not only by providing physical bodies for your children but also by teaching and nurturing them. If you are not a mother now, the creative talents you develop will prepare you for that day, in this life or the next."
You may think you don't have talents, but that is a false assumption, for we all have talents and gifts, every one of us. (see D&C 46:11–12)
The bounds of creativity extend far beyond the limits of a canvas or a sheet of paper and do not require a brush, a pen, or the keys of a piano. Creation means bringing into existence something that did not exist before—colorful gardens, harmonious homes, family memories, flowing laughter.
What you create doesn't have to be perfect. . . . Don't let the voices of critics paralyze you—whether that voice comes from the outside or the inside.
If you still feel incapable of creating, start small. Try to see how many smiles you can create, write a letter of appreciation, learn a new skill, identify a space and beautify it.
Dieter F. Uchtdorf, "Happiness, Your Heritage," Ensign, Nov. 2008, 119
