Well today is both Daniel's birthday (and my brother's birthday) and Father's Day! Last night we had some friends over to celebrate and eat lots of junk! This morning we had hashbrowns, eggs, english muffins, and bacon with a glass of orange juice and it was sure delicious! Of course, Daniel is one of the most difficult people to shop for because the only things he wants are either movies or more expensive things that he is picky about (and I certainly don't want to screw up!) so I just got him movies which seems terribly lame.

Being that it is Father's Day and, well, he is a soon(ish)-to-be-dad, I decided to get him a couple of cute little things.

YES! We are expecting a sweet little girl at the very end of October/ beginning of November and we couldn't be more excited. Daniel really wanted a little girl and he is more than thrilled (and seemingly getting a little impatient). We have names in mind, but nothing is decided, and we probably will not share the final decision is until the little one is born! I am now 20 weeks (halfway) through this pregnancy. It has been hard to keep quiet, but considering previous experience, we decided that it was best. I started to feel her move around 16-17 weeks and am now constantly feeling her. We went to our anatomy scan (where they make sure everything is okay and generally when parents find out the gender) and while she was quiet at first, a few pokes and prods and she was moving around like crazy. I am sure she will be a hyper daddy's girl, and most certainly a little princess. These are two onesies that I got for Father's Day, and the latest ultrasound picture:




"My Daddy's Wrapped 'round my little finger!"
"It's not easy being a Princess!"



My belly has begun to pop out, but it still mostly looks like I've just gained quite a few pounds (and I've only gained 5!) but I am still happy about it.


School has been great but really difficult. I've planned out the rest of my schooling so that I will still graduate with a bachelor's in English. The weather has been so nice that it is difficult to focus, but I still love the learning.

Bill Cosby came to BYU-I a week ago Friday and Dan and I went to watch! We had a great time and it was fun to do something so "big" in Rexburg.

At the Cosby Show!

The Man Himself!

Well, that is basically all of the new information for this post. We are planning our trip to the Grand Canyon after school gets out, and then on up to Oregon for the remainder of August, which should be really great :)
