Are we nuts or what?

Whew we have been sooo crazy...

family reunion in Rexburg with adventures to Bear World,

another family reunion in Palisades with river rafting and

excursions into Jackson Hole, Girls Camp, and 

Scout Camp, my brother Jeremy getting his mission call,

long lost friends visiting from Illinois, a week full

of my brother Joseph's wedding (haven't posted pictures yet),

Scott started teaching school at Madison High in Rexburg,

a week at my parent's when they went to Georgia for the 

other half of my brother's wedding stuff, camping in 

my parents back yard; they couldn't go any where 

because of scheduling difficulties so we camped out there. 

It was super fun, we ate dutch oven, cooked on camp stoves 

and even my mom slept outside all the night. WOW!

Plus, I am getting huge! Hurray only 8 weeks away! Yikes

Anyhow we've been sort of busy! Here are some 

pictures from some of the adventures. We forgot our camera a lot.

F.F.F.R= fabulous fillmore family reunion

We didn't take a ton of pictures but this is my favorite.

Scott's big brother, Brad flying down the slip-in-slide.

Only 2/3 of the family was in town, but it was

so much fun. All the nieces and nephews are getting

 so big! We played games in the Mountains, so fun!

I looked at this picture of myself and 

thought... "Holy Honk I am pregnant!"

Oh, and here is Scotty. 

We had a super great 4th!

We attended a concert that was 

put on by the little town of Rockland.

Scott's mom sang in the choir.

I cannot help but to shed a few tears when

we sing the national anthem; especially the last verse:

 "And this be our motto: 'In God is our Trust.'"

I hope that we choose to remember the divine 

powers that set forth this nation, 

"Under God, with Liberty and Justice for All."

Also, I cannot help but to shed even more tears

when our dear vets stand up with their hands

on their hearts. We owe them so much and I 

am grateful for them and the thousands who

have fought for our freedom and continue to fight. 

God Bless AMERICA Land that I LOVE!

Confession....

I have spent the last four days totally immersed in these FABULOUS BOOKS!

I have always had this silly attitude that if everyone else loves a certain

book series I will avoid it entirely.  I did the same thing with the Harry Potter

 series.I was convinced that if everyone was in love with it I wasn't going to be.

Of course until I was lovingly coaxed by my sister to read them.

I read them all so fast! And then waited in anticipation for book 6 &7 to come

out. I didn't attend the midnight book releases. But I was unavoidably 

out of town. But I wanted to be there. Geek?!? Possibly. 

So when my friend Liz, said that I HAD TO READ TWILIGHT!

I decided to have a whack at it!!!! 

All I have to say is that these three books are AMAZING!!!!

I was absolutely, irrevocably hooked after three pages. The author is 

a genius. And today after I finished the third book, it was like I was 

depressed and I wanted so badly for the books to continue. AHHH

So 36 days from now the fourth book comes out and I will be lost

again in the romantic adventures within the pages. 

If you haven't read them.... give in... you will LOVE THEM!!!!!!

???????? What is your vote ?????

Welp, we had our next doctor visit, and now the doctor thinks that our baby is a girl. Whoops... I figure we will find out for sure when we actually get to meet the baby. So, for now we wait. So funny. Our Dr. said that he would check again. The baby is breach right now and it was really difficult to get the right angle. The cord was going right between the babies legs, so the ultra-sound we had at 16 weeks could be a mistake, he could have just seen the cord. But everything in the ultra-sound checked out perfectly. All the organs and systems seem to be working correctly, and that is the most important thing. Hurray for being over half way there, I can't believe how fast time flies!

So, we are taking votes... girl or boy?????? 

Baby Bump

Well we are just about half way there!

Whew! And I think our little dude is learning

to tap dance or probably something more 

masculine.  I can feel him moving all the time.

I love it and any time I make a face like he is 

moving, like lightening Scott has his hand on

my belly. He can't really feel it from the outside

yet, but boy I feel it on the inside. 

WOW, kind of a big surprise!

We had a super fun Memorial Day!

We took Scott's new frisbee golf set out 

and had a ton of fun. Definitely recommend

getting into frisbee golf, it was awesome.

Then we played catch and had a little picnic, 

but a thunderstorm breezed in and caught us 

unawares. We had to make a mad dash to 

our car, I was laughing so hard I could barely run. 

Oh, and last Thursday

we had a doctor's appointment, and he being 

our good friend always wants to take pictures 

of our baby. So we got to find out that.....

IT'S A BOY!!!!!!!!

Scott was glowing,  it was so cute! He kept saying

"I knew it, I knew it!" I wasn't really prepared to 

know and so I was a little stunned, we were 

planning on finding out in June. It was so much

more real that we are having a son, not just a

lima bean in an ultrasound...we are having a son. 

Wew! We are super excited. I would have put 

the ultra sound on but, it is hard to tell on the

pictures printed. But he looks awesome! 

Wedding Bells

HipHip Hooray for Vicki and Jesse

Scott's baby sister was married yesterday!

It was an absolutely beautiful day, 

everything was blooming. And Vicki 

and Jesse were beaming! We were all sooo

thrilled to come together for the last

temple wedding of the Fillmore family!

(until the grandkids start going, but we have a few years)

These are my beautiful sister-in-laws!

Barbara on the left, Vicki, Tammy and Amy.

They are soooo much fun I am so grateful

that I am a part of this family. 

And here are the handsome  five brothers!

Scott is on the far left, then Doug, Craig, 

Bride and Groom, Brad and Bryan! 

I love these guys they are sooo much fun.

We didn't get that many pictures, but here

I am trying to ward off all the nieces and

nephews away from the punch bowl during 

the reception; they were after

their fourths and fifth helpings. 

What can I sayI made some awesome punch.

Our baby will be #27 of the Fillmore Family Grand kids

WOW! That is awesome, I guess that is what you get

with 9 original children. Whahoooo for fabulous Fillmores!

We love you!
