NEWS!!!!

So this little person has its little hand up by its nose, and its legs are up in the air which you can barely see in this picture. It was moving all over the place, it was fun to see.
So I wanted to post this before I forgot what my little man had said. For those of you who don't know yet, we are expecting our 4th child at the beginning of September. We decided to tell the kids Thursday, February 4th because I have been deathly ill. Most days I can't even get off the couch, I feel like a terrible mother right now, but my kids have been very good to put up with me. Until a couple of days ago when Brenden came to me and told me that he didn't have any socks. For those of you who know me, I try to do laundry every day so we never have piles. So for my son to say that to me, it has been pretty bad. We have kept this pregnancy a secret for a while and then Merrial came home Thursday and said that people at his work were starting to find out, so we better tell our families. So I sat the kids down and asked them if they knew why mommy was so sick. Brooklyn said she didn't know and Brenden said it was because I have drank to much soda. I laughed to hard, because I actually haven't drank any soda. So I said to them, the reason mommy has been so sick is because she has a baby in her tummy. Brenden comes right out and says, "OH CRAP, ARE YOU FOR REALS? IN YOUR TUMMY RIGHT NOW?" I was like yes, right now. Then he says, "HEAVENLY FATHER, PLEASE LET THIS BE THE LAST ONE!" "IF IT IS A GIRL, CHANGE IT TO A BOY RIGHT NOW!" I was trying so hard not to laugh because he was so serious. I wish that I would have had the video camera out, it was definitely priceless.

Brenden's Baptism!

Here is the invitation I made through my business Heritage Makers. It turned out really nice, I was very happy with it.


Brenden's baptism day turned out really nice. I was really worried about it, but it came together. The Friday before my mom, sister Katie, and Brother Shane and his wife Hailey and son Griffin came and stayed. Which was good, because it decided to snow that night and morning. Because of the weather we didn't get as many people as I thought we were. The people that came were: Papa Beeton, Great Grandma and Grandpa Beeton, NeVille's, Jones, Grandma and Grandpa Johansen, Peter, Joe, Justin and Jessy, Amanda and Joey, his teacher Meghan Burke, Brother Sanders (from bishopric), Sister Snow(primary Pres), Sister Sitterud (primary pres), Esplins, Whites, and if I forgot anyone I am sorry. I just wanted to let those of you that couldn't make it, that we missed you and wished you were here! The program went really well, Jonnie (grandma) gave the holy ghost talk and I gave the baptism one. I now know why moms don't give the talks, I barely made it through it. He was baptized by Merrial and when Brenden came out of the water he was gasping like he had just got into a tub of ice cold water. It was pretty funny, especially since the water was warm. He is kind of a dramatic child. His baptism turned out really good and I am so proud of him and love him so much!
I just wanted to thank everyone that came and for all your help. It was very appreciated! We love you all! This experience has actually made Brenden a more confidant young man, which he really needed. I didn't think it would change him at all, but he is definitely not as shy as he was.
