That's not a leg...

It's a boy! So many people predicted it would be a girl that we got used to the idea, so it was a surprise when they said it was a boy. I think Heavenly Father figured Clay could only handle one emotional girl in his life right now!

Here are his legs that he kicks me with all the time and I hear it's only going to get worse!

Hi mom!

Things have been crazy for us lately. I just graduated from BYU with a degree in Communication Disorders. I really enjoyed earning my degree, but it feels good to move on and now I get to be a mom. So it was fun to send Clay off to school yesterday and not have to go myself.

We have been partying as much as we could before school started. We had a ward campout over the weekend. We had lots of fun and ate tons of smores. The next day we decided to up and go to Blackfoot for the Eastern Idaho State Fair. Wow. The food was incredible. I am so glad I have an excuse to eat as much as I want.

We just moved to a new apartment. Do you like it? Actually, we moved to a new place with two bedrooms. We feel like we are in heaven because it is so much bigger and nicer than our old basement apartment. And we get to be managers for our little six-plex so that will help save money so we can pay for the baby! Our apartment is still in our ward so Clay was able to stay for his calling in the bishopric. We just got a wonderful new bishop and it's been a good adjustment. We are very blessed! My pregnancy has been much better than I expected and the baby is healthy and squirmy. Now that things are more settled down and I'm not in school, I hope to be better about posting. Thanks for not giving up on us!

Goodness - is it time for your semi-annual post all ready? Grandma will be so proud of you. The pictures of your baby boy are a little fuzzy, but I think he's going to take after you. Lucky kid. Thanks for the fun weekend and don't worry about losing all the weight you gained at the fair until after January. I plan to wait that long, too.
