Big News

I'm pregnant! 16 weeks and due in May. Sorry for not blogging very much lately. I'll get back to it. Thanksgiving was great. We went to both the Arrington dinner at 2 PM and the Brand dinner at 6 PM. We are still full. Last week Brian and I spent the whole week in New England. We went from DC to New York and then to Boston. We saw Spencer Wixom and Ryan Thompson who are Brian's friends from high school. It was a lot of fun.


Walden Pond near Lexington and Concord.


Time Square.

The top of the Empire State Building. (Very cold!)

At the South DC mission home with Spence. (His dad is the Mission Pres.)

The White House.

Oops.

Well I can't really say oops. But it has been a really long time since I posted anything. I don't know if anyone is even looking at this anymore. Let me know if you are. Football season is in full swing so Brian is gone all the time. I just got a new job at the new IMC hospital in Murray. There is a lot of other stuff going on, but I will try to make time to continue blogging, that is, if anyone is still reading. See ya.

GO UTES!

The football season was never something I looked forward to until I met Brian. I love watching him ref and the atmosphere at the high school games. I also really like watching the Utes. We have season tickets. The Brands are huge Ute fans. Brian and his dad and brother went to Michigan this last weekend to watch them win. They had a great time. I can't wait to go to the first home game this Saturday.

Grants Home!

Moose is getting so furry! He needs a haircut. He loves wrestling with Stewie and Rudy.

Grant got home from Boot Camp on Friday night. I went to the airport to pick him up and hardly recognized him. I actually walked right by him. He's so amazing. I don't think that I was that tough at 17. We are so proud of him.

Bear Lake

We went to Bear Lake the last weekend in July with James and Summer. I got some cool pictures of some old houses in St. Charles. The boys did some golfing and Summer and I found some bargains on home decor in Montpelier. Brian had his 32nd birthday. July disappear way too quickly!

Here are all of those promised pictures...

Carter got a scooter for his birthday. He's good at it.


I am expressing how cold it is even in my wet suit.

Eric kicked butt biking 40k in 1 hour 11 minutes.

James did the 10k run without any practice runs, wow!

We entered the trailer park parade contest at Sweatwater in Bear Lake as the "Trailer Park Royalty." Grandpa Maxwell pulled us behind his tractor. The whole thing was actually his idea.

We won the contest. Like our make-up?

Triathlon

We took 3rd place in the Olympic Coed Relay division of our triathlon!
