Out of the mouth of babes

Last night Kirsten saw a rat on our deck. She shrieked and then ran and grabbed Gus (our cat) and put him out on the deck to do what cats are supposed to do. By this time the other girls had gathered and Martha commented, "Geesh, Gus is like 65 years old in cat years. Isn't that like sending Grandpa off to combat?"

Big D, I think your reputation as a seasoned warrior is slipping.

Not a Baby Anymore!!!!

In preparation for Baby #2, we've been getting Rachel's "Big girl" room ready with her big girl bed. I made a quilt and curtains (with Mom's help) and I think it's come together really well and is pretty cute. Last night was her first night to sleep in her new bed and I am amazed at how well she did! I can't believe how big she is getting. She was starting to look so big in her crib-it kind of makes me sad that she's not going to be my baby anymore! I guess that's how it goes...

BYU VS. USU

I got a call today from BYU saying that due to an opening I would be allowed to attend starting fall semester. The last couple of months I have been really set on Utah state and have been excited to attend there but now I have to decide if I would attend there over BYU. I want to know everyone's opinion. I realize that I am basically asking a family of Cougars but I still need some help on this decision. I have thought of a few things that I like in these colleges and you will see that it is basically split.

• Campus size (small>big)
• Closeness to family
• Closeness to Bear lake
• Price (BYU is much cheaper)
• Missionary Prep
• Relative closeness to Best Snowboarding areas
• Housing (I currently have the best housing reserved for me at USU)

I am open to any advice and help from anyone.

Wi Baby Girl #2

Hi There,
It's been way too long since I have posted anything so I thought I would show off the latest picture of our 2nd Wi baby girl.

Okay so ultra sound pictures are a little bit scary.... This is actually a picture of her face if you can tell... I saw her opening and closing her mouth and the doctor tried to get pictures of her in action... They all kind of came out the same so this is one of them. I'm about 32 weeks now--it's getting so close-but I'm feeling good and am just hoping she stays in a little bit longer than Rachel did.
