My cousin Dusty Draper took our photos this time and I just love them! The day was perfect weather and we decided to take some at the temple. That was a wonderful experience. My sweetheart has lost 45 pounds over the last 6 months, so we decided it was time to get pictures done again. I am so proud of him and his dedication to get and stay healthy! I love you Jeremy! We have more pictures coming and I can't wait to see them!

Our Utah Trip Part One
At the beginning of the year I found out that The Power of Moms was having a retreat in Park City. And to top it off two of my favorite authors would be speaking and hosting it at thier home! I was beyond excited and asked Jeremy if he would take me. So we decided to make a family trip out of it. I have never been to Salt Lake City and wanted to see Temple Square and go to the Salt Lake Temple. Well about two weeks before it was time to go our parents talked us out of taking the kids. They insisted they would be so bored in the car for 15 hours and we would not have as much fun seeing all the sites with kids. I was very reluctant but thought it over and agreed. With hind sight now I am so glad we didn't take them. The 2 older ones would have enjoyed it, but not so much the younger ones. So we bought plane tickets and left on a Friday. We flew out Saturday morning and arrived early Saturday in Salt Lake City. We got our rental car and went straight to Temple Square. My long time really should be sister Valerie Claussen and her family met up with us and we took some tours. It was a beautiful day with some light rain.

35 Weeks
It is really hard to believe that this pregnancy is almost over. In some ways it has gone by fast and other not so much. But this is our last baby and it seems kind of crazy. But we feel our family is complete. I am looking forward to all the upcoming stages in life with the kids. I thought I would be really sad to know we were complete. But I guess that I don't means we really are. I am so excited to meet this sweet spirit coming to our home. All my children are so unique. I loved all the conference talks about teaching our children in the home. It gave me the hope that we can raise righteous children in these crazy last days. Some days I want to completely pull my hair out, but it is all worth it. And listening to conference gave me the reassurance that the path I am on is the right one despite what the world says. Being blesses with children is a miracle in itself. I have 5 weeks to go and Jeremy is really praying that his mother will be here to see the baby. I know in my heart even if she is not here she will still be blessed to see that grandchild. The temple dedication is around the corner. So many things we want to share with her. But we both know it is in the Lords hands. So on one hand I am ready for the baby to come. But then it will probably mean we have lost Linda. But I think the birth of a baby will help heal our hearts. Something so sweet coming right from our Father in Heaven.
This is a picture taken at night by one of my cousins. I took it from his facebook! Thanks Dusty for sharing! I love to see the Temple. I can't wait to take our children through it for the open house. We are so blessed to live 5 minutes away. The kids have really enjoyed watching it be built. An experience we will probably never have again.
