Big News!!!

These 11 days of April have been the busiest I can remember, but I've finally got a spare moment to sit down and blog. I thought I'd bring everyone up to speed on what's going on with our lives and what we've been up to. Don't be upset about the lack of pics, I accidentally left the camera in the car that Carlos took to work so, those will come later.
We started off April with a week in California, San Diego in particular. We flew into LAX early and spent the day at Disneyland. Seriously, that place is so much fun when you have kids! I was actually surprised err I mean SHOCKED that Talmage was so dang good. I thought the waiting in line thing was gonna be a problem, but he was such a champ and we had the best time. From there we drove to San Diego and made up our minds to have no plans and just go with the flow. I always feel like that makes a vacation so much more fun, when nothing is scheduled. We did a lot of stuff in San Diego....SeaWorld, San Diego Zoo, Coronado, Laguna Beach, Old Town San Diego and a lot more. It honestly was the PERFECT vacation.
Next thing is...since my sister could care less about her blog, I will inform the blogging world that Katie is finally, officially......ENGAGED (yes folks, ring on her finger and everything). She is getting married in Manti on June 22 (Erica...I hope maybe you'll be here). So that's really exciting and besides all the other stuff going on I've been busy helping with all the preparations for that. But, I don't mind...that's fun stuff! So a little update on that...Katie and Brian already bought a house...smart kids...in Orem and they have a cute little Beagle named Harley. Katie is living in the house now and getting it all cute and ready for the little couple once their married. We are so excited this is finally happening, it's been a long time coming.
Next thing...Talmage is 4...I can hardly believe it. We had a great birthday party with lots of pizza and salad and cake and ice cream. Talmage loved playing superhero's with his cousin Atticus. Talmage was Spiderman and Atticus was Captain Clearface (hilarious pictures to come).
Next, was Easter...we have a tradition of going to the Benjamin Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday morning and then going over to Grandma's (my mom) for another Easter Egg Hunt and a delicious brunch. As always, it was a ton of fun and Talmage made out with way too much candy and toys. On Easter Sunday Talmage searched everywhere for his basket and finally found it after about 10 clues. He loved the candy of course and the rocket launcher (pictures to come). For Easter dinner we went to Carlos' Mom and Dad's and had yummy food and good company...all in all a great day with nice weather.
With family BBQ's and friend get-togethers inbetween it's been a crazy crazy April so far.
BUT the big news is...something I can finally share....I'M PREGNANT...yes, I am finally 12 weeks and feel like it's ok to tell the world that after nearly 2 1/2 years of trying and 2 years on fertility drugs, I am finally pregnant and we couldn't be happier. Now, before you all go wondering just how many are in there, I had an ultrasound already and we are beyond relieved that so far, there is only one child!
So that's all folks...all the news you've missed and were dying to know..... hahahaha....like I said pictures to come. Later

I just tried calling you to talk to you about Katie's wedding...we'll be in town..YES!! So now can I tell my family about your pregnancy? That was the longest wait ever! No wonder why I can't keep my mouth shut about being pregnant until 12 weeks, since I can barely wait 12 weeks to tell my family about you :). Sounds like you had a fun time with all your stuff going on...wish we could've been there for some..oh well..maybe someday! You had better post pictures!
Love your guts,
E
