And the baby is....

We went to our ultra sound this morning and had the most amazing experience. We were both in awe when we saw our little baby moving around. It makes things a little bit more real and definitely gives me a sense of relief when I know that things are progressing well and the baby is ok. We are happy to announce that we will be having a BOY in March. I am still measuring a little bit big, so we will either have a baby a little bit sooner than expected or else it will be a really big boy!! As long as it comes to us healthy, we will take it either way!!! My heart seriously can't stop racing and I can't wait to hold the little man in my arms!!!

Guess What...BIG news...

WE'RE PREGNANT!! Baby Staheli is due on March 15th!! We are so excited we can hardly wait! I've dreamt about this my whole life and I can't believe that it is actually here! Travis is just as excited (maybe a little more, if that is possible) as me! He is definitely being a trooper these past couple of months since I have been pretty sick. Good news is that the nausea is slowly easing up, so hopefully I am at the end of that stage. Maybe this will help me blog more! I have a doctor's appointment on Thursday, so I will let you know how that goes!

So, It's Almost Been a Year...

WOW!!! Time really does fly and I am really horrible at blogging!! I guess my new goal is going to be once a year!!! ha ha just kidding!!! We have had a lot of fun this year along with a lot of trails, but our marriage just seems to keep getting stronger. We have been on a lot of adventures and have made many memories. I'm not going to try to tell you everything that has happened in the last 8 months, but I will give you a short update. My brother Adam and his wife Robyn welcomed a darling baby girl into this world!! They named her Erin and she has beautiful red hair and is growing up so fast. Speaking of growing, my brother Brett's little girl is to die for. She is 1 now and is definitely keeping Brett and Britt busy. They love her so much and are enjoying the happiness she brings into their lives. 2 of Trav's sisters had baby girls who are spoiled with love and attention. It is so much fun to have lots of little ones running around. Trav and I are getting ready to celebrate our 2nd anniversary and it seems like just yesterday that we got married. We are having so much fun!!! We are working hard on our yard and trying to get our backyard looking nice. This year we put up a block wall to get some privacy, put in a a sprinkling system, and have planted 2 nut trees!! We hope to get some grass and maybe even a garden in next year!! I have discovered how much work, time, and money landscaping takes. We are really working hard and I think that we have got a lot accomplished. Life is good and we are enjoying the ride. I haven't been good at taking pictures either, but I hope to get better at that as well. I'm glad I am back in the blogging world!! Oh, only 12 more days until school is out....I can't believe that I have been teaching for 5 years now... and I am moving back up to 3rd grade again for next year!!!

I love fall in St. George

I love fall time in St.George!! It is cooling off, but definitely not too cold, just right. I love the rich fall colors and the warm smells. We (mostly my husband) made some fun decorations for our house and the pictures are coming soon, so stay tuned. I finally decided that it is time to start focusing on making my house a home. I am slowly working on it, but it takes time. I know, I have been married over a year now, but it takes time to get used to a new house and figure out what you want to do. The good news is that my husband has very good taste and is willing to help me with my projects!! :) I'll get some pics up soon.....

It's been a while...

I decided that I stink at blogging. I love to read everyone's blog and I get so mad when they don't update it. Then I realized that I am the worst at keeping my blog updated, so I am going to try to be better at it. I also am going to be better at taking my camera on my many adventures so that I can share them with you. Here is a little update on the past 3 months!! :) I made it through the end of school and had a great year!!! I was so excited to have a break, but decided to teach summer school for a month. It actually worked out perfectly because I had to move classrooms and finally made it out of the portable for the 2nd time and into a normal classroom. Travis had to work out of town for a few months, so that was kind of a bummer. We have done a lot of fishing and some camping through out the summer. We also celebrated our 1st anniversary!! I can't believe that it has been a year already. We spent our anniversary up at the cabin on Cedar Mountain and it was so relaxing and beautiful. Now school has started and I am back in crazy mode. I have 28 kids this year and I am sure there are more to come. My class is large, but they are hilarious and I love them!! I think that this year is going to be great!! There are a lot of things that happened in the past 3 months, but it is so long ago that it isn't even worth blogging. Wish me luck on another school year and the many adventures ahead. I really will try to keep this blog going!! Thanks for caring!!

Count down until the end of the school year...

Only 9 more days until summer, but who is counting.......ME!! This year has been good, challenging, a learning experience, hard, and rewarding all at the same time. I am going to get back to blogging, but the next 9 days (school days that is) are a little jam packed, so bare with me until I make it through the year. Hope you all are well and everything is good!!

Happy Easter!!

I am trying to be better at this blogging thing, but I have noticed that I am not so good at posting pictures. That is my new goal. I am so awful at taking the camera, and then when I do take the camera, I forget to use it. I am so sad because we have done some pretty exciting and fun things that I don't have any pictures for. I guess that this can be a new goal of mine. (along with many others) Well, it is official, I am another year older and I'm not very happy about it!! I can't believe how fast time goes by. I had a great birthday thanks to my family and friends. My cute husband got me some GREAT surprises and took me out for an amazing dinner. My family up north sent me some cute cards and definitely showed that they cared. My friends at school were great and made my birthday extra special!!! I had a fantastic meal with my In-Laws!! We had a meal to die for!! Thanks to everyone for making me feel loved and for making my birthday a great one!! Now, it is Easter time and I seriously can't believe that it is already April. Only 2 more months and I am out for Summer break!! (yes I am counting down the days) Anyways, I just wanted to wish everyonoe a very Happy Easter!! I have a four day weekend, so I am going to go have some fun!! I hope that you all keep the true meaning of Easter in mind and think about all of the blessing that you have in your life!! I know that I have a lot to be thankful for!!
