Baby Boy on it's way!!!

So the latest for our update is our exciting news about having a little baby boy join our family! I didn't post about expecting yet because I thought we would wait until we knew for sure what we were having! We both kind of thought it would be a boy, and of course we couldn't be more excited! Between the 2 of us we have 7 brothers...no sisters, so we feel like we are kind of familiar with boys:) We were so amazed by the ultrasound, we were both clueless to how wonderful technology is with all of that! It was neat that they were able to show us so many tiny details of our cute little peanut, and it makes it even more real. The baby didn't love the ultrasound...he kept squirming around...until we got to what gender he was, he didn't have a problem showing that off, which we laughed over..ha! We haven't thought of any exact names yet, there are some we like better than others...so if you have any great ideas..send them our way. I am due August 6th, so it might be a hot summer for me this year, but of course it's all worth it! I am feeling much better in the 2nd trimester than the 1st...pretty tired, but I know that's part of it..and it's soo soo worth it. Brad and I have both waited so long to have kids and we know it's going to be very life-changing, but we are excited to move on to this new adventure in life, yay! I don't believe we posted our Bryce Canyon trip..but that was a lot of fun! We took my parents and headed down south and stayed at Ruby's Inn. Bryce Canyon was beautiful with the snow on top, it looked like frosting was outlining the tops of the rock..it was incredible! I highly recommend visiting this national park if you haven't hit it yet! Brad and I found some tennis courts close by and we are excited to take up playing tennis a bit more..so fun! We have had a lot of family and friends visit in the past few weeks which has been really fun. Before we announced the gender we told our parents first at a little gender reveal party where they cut into the cake to see if we were having a boy or a girl...blue or pink. That was fun:) Both of us are keeping plenty busy at work, but we are going to take a Spring Break trip down south in the next week and we are both getting excited for this. We have enjoyed audible.com, Brad is listening to "unbroken" and I am listening to "The boys in the boat." It's nice to listen as we continue to put boxes away in our house. Well life has been especially exciting this month, and we feel incredibly grateful to our Heavenly Father for the many blessings we receive on a daily basis:) Hope everyone is doing well, it's exciting to have Spring here to enjoy the great weather.
