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.

Our Days
So our lives have been so overwhelmingly crazy at times, beautiful at others, tearful and sorrowful, but yet full of laugher during others.
These last few weeks have been so new and somethings that we as a small family have never really experienced before. Dane's Grandmother Maxine Hepworth passed away a little over a week ago. She was diagnosed with cancer while I was attending Girls Camp with our ward. She was told that she would have only a year left. Three weeks after her diagnosis she passed peacefully away after a family prayer with all of her children around her. Some mourned deeply while other's rejoiced that she was no longer in so much pain.
She was an amazing person that had so much love and compassion. Whenever she was aching for her husband that she lost when she was 41, she would make dozens of pies, cakes, cookies, or pots of soup, meals, casseroles. Then she would deliver them to someone else. As each food item left her hands and entered into someone else's, her sorrow would melt away to eternal joy knowing that she would be with him again. This is how she coped and dealt with this worlds sorrow and joys. She always shared.
Ben has been struggling trying to let Mom and Dad go while we've attended Girls Camp, Youth Conference, Young Men High Adventure, and our various meetings. The cherry on the top has been that in July we changed our church time to the mornings. He still is trying to figure out if we are abandoning him for several over nights and long days. So needless to say his enthusiasm that he once had for nursery is quickly fading!? But I have to admit that he is doing so much better, and he now knows that we are coming back for him in a few hours. This helps Dane and I to fulfill our callings on Sundays without a crying 2 year old hanging onto our side.
We are excited to know that we are going to have twins in our home starting next week. No we aren't expecting or adopting. We, I mean "I" am going to start babysitting them. Ben is thrilled as we are preparing our little home to support 2 more little ones. He's so excited to have new baby's in our home! We are painting the "Family" toddler bed bright blue and just purchased a sale item of "Go Diego, Go!" toddler bed set to go with his new bed. We are also pulling out our baby stuff again. He has been very occupied playing with all his old toys and will chant over and over, "Toys. Babies. Comin'. My house.Shh, quiet. Sleepin. No cry. it's ok." I don't know where he got some of those words because I haven't even told him that he has to be quiet when babies sleep. He's just too smart?!
Well enough of my rambling. I'm so happy and blessed to be alive and to be healthy. We are all doing well and couldn't ask for life to be more beautiful. May your life be wonderfully beautiful as well.
