Baby Shower!

I had a baby shower last weekend on Saturday and had so much fun! We got so many wonderful things and Joseph and are feeling so blessed by all the family and friends we have that love us! So many people came and it was so good to see everyone...friends we see all the time as well as friends we haven't seen in years! Above is my favorite picture of the day because my tummy looks so huge! It was such a great day, thank you so much to everyone who came!!!

Arenacross!

On Sunday Joseph and I went to watch Cole at Arenacross at Arco Arena in Sacramento. He is doing this new series of Arenacross races and this weekend happened to be when they were close to home in Sac. We had a great time watching him and his friends and going back and forth between the pits. He did a super good job in his heat races and took a 4th and a 7th in his main races. We picked up Caitlin on the way down and met Matt on the way so we didn't all have to pay parking. We had an awesome day!

With Cole when we first got there!

Cole #99

The whole track from where we sat all day!

All of us watching, apparently Caitlin and I were either confused or intently watching!

Snow is Cameron Park!

Joseph and I have been staying at our friends the Bitnoff's with their two boys while their parents are in Hawaii for the week! Conner and Cole are 16 and 13 and we have tons of fun with them! On Friday morning when Joe woke up to get ready for work we awoke to SNOW!!! Now for those of you who live in the snow this might not be very impressive to you...but for us sunny Californians we were freezing!

Looking out our window down onto our cars Friday morning!

My poor frozen car!

Looking up the street from the Bitnoff's house.

Their frozen backyard

The trees looked so pretty all covered in snow!

As pretty as it was I am glad to say it only snow about once a year at the most in Cameron Park and I am hoping it stays that way! Joseph and I are doing well...I'm thirty two weeks along now and we're just waiting (inpatiently) for these boys to get here! Joseph has tomorrow off work and we're excited to spend sometime together--we didn't get to celebrate valentine's day on Saturday so we'll probably go out to dinner or something! As for me heartburn and major backpain have kicked in during the last week and we are definetely not friends! Hope everyone had a Happy Valentines Day!!!

Not much new here...just growing babies...

Performing Groups for Youth Show

I teach 4 dance classes a week for a performing group in El Dorado Hills called PGY. I have taught there for a year now and I absolutely love it! The kids are so fun and I get to teach music and dance! We had our big show last weekend called Disney Magic--each class did around four numbers for 2 different disney shows. It turned out so well and we all had a great time! I choreographed Beauty and the Beast, Mulan, Aladdin, Lion King, Hercules, a Princess Medley, Cruella DeVille, Cinderella, and part of Alice in Wonderland! My cousin Rebekah was also in the show--unfortunately I didn't get to be her teacher--she did a Friendship Medley and Enchanted and did such an awesome job! Here's some pictures of all the fun! Rebekah and I after our Friday night show--Joseph's parents brought me flowers!

29 weeks pregnant...and still growing!

So every monthly pregnancy picture I've taken I wear the same cute purple dress with my leggings and usually it's the only day I actually do something with my hair because I want to remember looking cute while I was prego...yesterday I showed up at my parents house looking like this and when my mom asked me where my dress was I told her that this is how 6 1/2 months pregnant looks on me! We had an Ultra Sound yesterday as well and the boys are growing and developing exactly as they should be, one of them likes to kick my left ribs and the other kicks my right hip bone and they tend to do karate(or something) most of the day! I am trying to tell myself they'll be here soon so I can get things finished up at home--their bedroom and so forth. I am also working on quilts for them with my mom and sister and will post pictures when I am done! As for me I am doing alright...I am always tired and can rarely catch my breath...and I'm starting to get nauseous in the evenings again but I'm hanging in there--and still teaching 4 dance classes a week!

3 years together!

I cannot believe how quickly time flies! Today Joseph and I have been married three years! It seems like just yesterday! And now we're expecting twin boys! I am so grateful that Joseph came into my life, we have had so many wonderful times together and he is truly my Prince Charming! I am so grateful for all that he does for me and for how hard he works so that I will be able to stay at home with our baby boys. He is such a wonderful and sweet person and I could not be happier than I am with him! I love you Joseph Carlson!!
