Baby shower and other random stuff!

Let's start out with some awesome news about Thayne:

He was excepted into the graphic design program at Utah State, which means he can now graduate as a  graphic design major. Last year he was accepted into the Art program where about only 40 students are accepted each year. The graphic design program is even more tedious to get into because only about 20 students are accepted each year. GO THAYNE!

This picture below is of Thayne and a drawing he did of Michael Jordan. In his drawing class each student had to draw or paint a picture and then frame it. Then, teachers from other classes came in and graded the picture from 1-10. The top 3 scores were then taken and put in an art exhibit in Salt Lake City and sold. Thayne's picture wasn't chosen (which Thayne is ok with because he loves his picture) but his teacher told him that his was right up there with the top 3. Thayne was excited to hear that. I am so proud of Thayne! He is doing and learning what he loves!

A couple weekends ago Dianne and Abi came over and helped me put the nursery together. We put up the crib, brought in the dresser, and hung a shelf. I couldn't have done it with out them!! Thanks Ladies!

This is Dianne's working hard face

our crib we bought for 50 bucks off KSL!

I love how the dresser turned out!! I can't believe I painted it!

Abi and me trying to screw in a handle....it took us way longer then we wanted it too!

My Visiting Teachers: Julie Baumgartner and Heather Bennett. Thanks again Ladies!!

starting with the new year= long and boring first timer post

To start out the new year Elder Mickelson came home! Thayne was so excited he wanted to sleep over at the Mickelsons' the first night Austin was home, but we had to get up early the next morning, so we slept over the next night.

The next day December 29, 2011 we found out we are having a boy!! We had the Mickelsons meet us for breakfast where we told them the news with a big pancake and chocolate!

In march we went to Las Vegas. It was really fun! Thayne and Ethan had a really intense game of air hockey. We also went to see an illusionist which was cool and funny.

After Las Vegas we had a fun filled week with family. While in Mesa my cousin Brittany LeSueur took some maternity photos of Thayne and me and I absolutely LOVE them! here are some of my favorites!

Easter! I love finding an Easter outfit for me and a matching tie for Thayne. Yes I was wearing 6 inch heels and totally biffed it in the grass. Only had a sore ankle for a couple days....haha. And no worries we bought a matching tie for Riley!

Well, later this week I will show pictures of the baby room....I love it so far!
