HAPPY VALENTINES!!!

I wanted to wish everyone a Happy Valentines a little early while I was thinking about it. I am now 32 weeks and feeling great still. I know that will change but I am loving every minute of it.
Even our little girl is giving loves.

I am going to try to take pictures every week now. Hope everyone has a wonderful Valentines day.
-With Love,
Craig, Cynthia, and Kailin

26 weeks and 4 days

For those of you who don't seem me often and live far away here is a picture taken today. I am in the end of my second trimester. Enjoy :)

96 Days left..Where did the time go

I can't believe I am under the 100 day mark of my pregnancy for days remaining. It is going by really fast and I'm sure will continue to go fast since I have a lot of projects I am working on. Here are a few things:
-Paint the dresser to match the crib-started
-Paint the room-I think I will paint it a green and the bedding is going to be pink and white with some green here and there
-Make the bedding
-Wash all the clothes I have been given so far
-Organize, Organize, Organize....This I will be working on for the rest of my life :)
-Enjoy being pregnant

Here is the bedding I like:


I really like the idea of decorating in bugs and flowers. Which for me means making a quilt with Bugs and flowers on it because I really don't decorate that much ;). I have been feeling really great lately and my belly is growing steadily. I will post a picture once I get our camera from in Craigs car. It is so fun feeling my little girl move. She moves all the time and it is an awesome feeling. Just thought I would give everyone an update on how we are doing and I will post some before and after pictures of my projects once they are done :) HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

4 years

I can't believe it has been four years since Craig and I were sealed in the Logan Temple. So much has happened in the past four years. Craig got his Bachelors degree and I am getting mine tomorrow. We bought a house, moved states, changed jobs, and are expecting a baby girl who we already love. I don't express how much I love Craig and how grateful I am to my Heavenly father for our serendipidous meeting so below is a small list of ten things I love about Craig.
10. He is always trying to make me smile..He is hilarious.
9. He inspires me to be better and work harder
8. He LOVES Christmas, probably more than anyone I know and I love that.
7. He is ok just chilling and relaxing sometimes
6. Everynight he pokes my stomach and asks the baby how she is doing :)
5. I am tearing up just making this list. He always encourages me to meet goals regardless of how ridiculous they are.
4. He will walk around the house singing and playing the guitar. He always asks me to name the songs even though he knows after 4 years I am horrible at that game.
3. He is one of the most caring people that I know.
2. He is a worthy Priesthood holder and has given me many blessings and he goes with me to the temple whenever he can.
1. The nubmer one reason I love, love, love him is because he chose me. Sometimes I feel a little overwhelmed that I could marry such a goofy, fun, and loving guy but someone was looking out for us.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!!I LOVE YOU!!!

Scary drive home

Craig and I left Ogden around 6:30 pm on Sunday night to come back to Boise. 6 1/2 hours later we were home. Normally this takes about 4 to 4 1/2 hours. The roads were awful and to make matters worse our tires are horrible. We are getting new ones today. I swear it felt like the minute the snow would stop and I would think "Oh finally the snow has stopped and we are on dry road" there would either be black ice, fog, snow covered roads, a blizzard or all of the above. I knew it was going to be a long trip when outside of Tremonton the Semi trucks were pulling over. Normally they drive through anything but some waited for this storm to pass. Craig was a trooper and drove the whole way which I was grateful for. I was freaking out just sitting next to him and would have been a mess if I drove. We feel very lucky and blessed that we made it home safe. We were also happy our home was here because while on our weekend trip we received a call that our smoke alarms were going off and the police and fire department were at our house. Although we were reassured that a faulty smoke alarm set of the chain reaction it was nice to know we still had a home. Below is a picture of the snow near Ogden.
