** Swimming **

We Just had to have daddy and Krew swim time once before we went back to Utah. Krew loves the water so much more this year and is even a little more brave about jumping in swimming around on his own with his little floaties. Krew is really going to miss swimming with his daddy this summer!

\\ Utah Bound \\

Yes I am on my way back to Utah on Monday. Griffin and I had a lot of discussions on this subject and just felt with how busy he is with managing the office and trying to sell himself that it was the best decision for us. Its only 3 weeks earlier than we planned but it is still going to be a very hard challenge. I am going to miss my husband terribly but I know this is the best thing for our family. He will be able to focus more on selling and taking care of his office. I cannot say enough about how proud of him I am. He works so long and hard these few months for our family and does such an amazing job! And he also does so much for the guys in his office every day to make sure all their needs are met.  We have found a house in Herriman that I will be moving into when I get home. I am so stoked to see it!! I can't wait to get it ready for Griff to come home to. I love him so much and know how hard this is going to be but we both know it will be so worth it when the summer is all over.

Just a few pics from the other day. This was a really cute loading dock!!!But Krew had more fun running around and going up and down the stairs instead of posing for pics for his mommy.

::/:: Baby News ::/::

I really need to do better writing posts about are sweet baby that will be here in September. The day we left for Illinois I had my big ultrasound and everything was perfect!!! And yes she was confirmed a GIRL!!!! It was so much fun to see how much she had grown and all her cute little hands, fingers, feet and toes. I am still in a little bit of denial with this pregnancy. Its amazing to me how different I am with this one than when I was pregnant with Krew. It could be that Krew keeps me busy and going pretty much all day long and with your first all you can do is think about the that life growing inside you.........I will be 22 weeks tomorrow and this little girl is super active and is always moving, kicking or punching me. Krew was even able to feel her yesterday. He would keep putting his hand on my belly and saying "come on little girl kick me".......Love him! We have decided to name her Marlie! Even at this point if I wanted to change I don't think I could, Krew only knows her as Marlie now so its a really good thing we love the name!

:: A Day in the Sun ::

So after being cooped up in our apartment or running to target every other day for over a week. And poor Krew asking me everyday to go outside, which I'll add our apartments are not very kid friendly. Fortunately one day as we were driving around we came across this really cute park not very far from our apartments. This was heaven for Krew!!! he would run up the stairs and go down the slides over and over again. He also loved the swing!!! It was so nice to see him being able to run around outside  in the sun for a while. It has been my favorite day so far in Champaign.

://: Illinois ://:

Well........ we made it here safe and sound and managed to get all settled in before Griffin started training and selling today! The drive wasn't as bad as I always anticipate to be and Krew is AMAZING!!! He didn't fuss or ask to be taken out of his seat once I truly feel blessed with him everyday......Thank you Krew for always exceeding my expectations! As we were driving into Illinois especially past Springfield (last summers home) it really had a sense of home. All the lush green trees and huge farms reminded me why I fell in love with this place last year. Our Apartments are for sure much better than last year and we've done a pretty good job with the limited stuff we bring with us at turning it into a home for a few months. I love how being out here on our own really gives a sense of appreciation and how our little family grows much closer together and we become so much stronger! I am sad that I will have to leave a couple months early due to our growing baby girl but I know the two months will fly by and Griffin will be able to focus just on selling and his office. And he will be back home with us before I know it!

What a great Easter! We always spend this holiday in St. George with griffin's Family and it is always one of our favorite trips. It was such a great way to end our last week in Utah. Krew and Conner had so much fun playing together. They really are best buddies! My brother and sister in law also announced that they are going to have baby #2 and she is only 7 weeks behind me! We are so thrilled!!!! This really was an amazing weekend spent with family that we love and are going to miss very much!
