Welcome 2012!

Yes, we were in St George as we welcomed in the New Year! Kaylee did a fantastic job covering our trip on her blog if you want to check it out! It was such a good time, so here goes my version.

 We arrived near Zion's National Park on December 30th after driving close to 6 hours.  After checking into our hotel, we drove through the park and because we still had daylight decided to do a short hike.
Here are the two happy couples. :)




King of the Rock!! Justin was full of energy after the long drive and so went rock hopping. I was pretty sure I would fall on my face if I tried. I feel a bit off balance lately, or scared to fall, one of the two.

Sliding on the ice on our other hike adventure!
 We enjoyed a royal dinner out at Olive Garden before returning to our Condo for the evening. Watched movies until 11:45 ish when we watched the ball drop and went outside to send our poppers flying. We came back in to toast to the new year!

 New Years Day started with church and then lots of games -- basketball, tennis, ping pong, Foosball, shuffle board, and pool.

Soaking up the sun! We loved the 60 degree weather in January -- woot woot!

Monday - we hit the St. George temple before heading home

Beautiful!
Thanks Roholt's for the fun!

Returning from the trip we enjoyed a week of little work and no stress and then we were ready to go back to real life. A great Christmas Break it was! Our last one as students -- well one of us being a student. :)

Engineering Lab vs. Hawaii

It's Friday night of Spring Break and we are sitting in the Engineering lab ...... Justin watching March Madness and me blogging.  Some people may think it's a little on the boring side, but I have to say we are both quite enjoying ourselves.  As Spring Break approached we were under the impression that we just might be welcoming our baby boy sooner than later. On March 6th, I was dilated to a 2 and 70% effaced..... the Dr said he could be here in 2-3 days or 2 weeks. Justin and I had a couple of sleepless nights after hearing this. Jumping at any sign of labor -- makes me laugh now.  The days have passed by with few contractions and no real progress. I have to say my emotions have been all over. At times I so want to be done being pregnant and have this little boy in my arms and then the next minute I am soaking up the time Justin and I have left to easily (well 9 months pregnant easily) hop on the motorcycle for a ride up town. After reading, learning, and practi

Happy Halloween

Thanks to the Schmidt pumpkin patch  I have several cute little pumpkins I've always wanted and thanks to the Daniels party for the cute carved pumpkins that really set the Halloween tone! The Schmidt Sisters!  October 23rd we had the annual Grandpa Jess Birthday Party get together! I felt like it had been forever since the Daniels family had been together.  Not enough catching up happened for me, but it was sure fun to be around family and carve pumpkins. It helped me start to get into the Halloween spirit. Bummer that I did not take pictures at the party. But these pumpkins made me smile each day I saw them on our porch. Halloween was so much fun when you were a kid, but as I have aged the holiday has lost it's excitement. For Halloween this year we happened to be in Salt Lake with the Schmidts. Justin was presenting his IHC idea and I had the day to myself. The Schmidt family gathered at the pumpkin patch for pictures before the night of trick or treating would

Sam screams when we walk away from the swing - He loves swinging! He loves when we peep through the different holes Yes, he is crawling right to the slide, letting himself down head first
