Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to my dad and to Richard.  The two best daddy's in the whole world!

Goodbye JoJo

The time came for Jordan to move back to Utah :(  My mom flew out and stayed for about a week and a half before it was time for them to start their road trip back.  It was so nice having Jordan live with us, Soren loves him and he was always helpful.  The timing for my mom to come drive home with him could not have been better.  I was really really sick and it was FANTASTIC to have my mom here to cook, clean and take care of Soren.  Thanks mom!

Devon Came to Town

Richard's friend, Devon, came and visited for a few days.  It was so nice having him here.  I have been really really sick.  He was super helpful with Soren and he made dinner every night he was here.  It was awesome.  On Saturday, the boys got out and had some fun.  They went to lunch and then they went bowling.

Swimming Lessons

For the last two weeks Soren has been doing swimming lessons with a group of our friends, they are all around the same age.  The last two years we have done a mommy and me class at the rec center and we really enjoyed it (Soren LOVES the water).  This year if we had done lessons at the rec center again we would have had to do the same class for the third year and I just felt like Soren was ready to do a class on his own so he did lessons with a girl in our stake that is home from BYU for the summer.

Father Son Campout

Our ward had a father son campout.  We didn't really know about it until that morning so Richard, Soren and Jordan decided to just go up for the evening.  If they had known ahead of time they would have stayed the night, but we weren't prepared for that.  They had a great time and Soren was in heaven running around playing for the evening.  They went canoeing and Soren loved throwing rocks in the water.

Mother's Day in Austin

Sunday morning we got up and got some breakfast and headed out.  We were going to walk around the San Antonio temple but the grounds were closed so we just drove around it.  We headed to Austin to spend Mother's Day with Richard's family.  We got to Carolyn and Tyler's house and got set up to video chat with Justin and my family.  We had already told Richard's parents that I was pregnant on Friday, but today was the day to tell the rest of the family.  I should have gotten a picture of it, but I didn't think about it.  While were talking I told my family that Soren had a picture to show them and he held up a sign that said "Only Child, Expiring January 2015"  They were all very excited about the news.  We found out about a week before and had been keeping it a secret for our Mother's Day surprise.  

After a delicious dinner and a good time with Richard's family we headed back to Dallas.  I am happy to say that the drive home was smooth sailing!
