Baby Jack is Here!















Jack was born on October 21, 2009 at 10:43 p.m. He weighed 7 lbs. 11 oz. and was 20 1/2 inches long. Thank heavens he was 2 1/2 weeks early! He's got lots of dark brown hair. He's the first one in our family to have this much hair, and I love it! He is such a sweet little boy. He sleeps alot, and doesn't really cry all that much. Shean and I are so happy. As I'm sure most parents would agree, there's nothing that can bring you as much joy as having a child. Thank you to everyone for all you have done for us. I'll be posting plenty more pictures as the days go on.

Baby Day Tomorrow?

I guess we get to call in tomorrow morning and see what time to come in to have the baby. Is that crazy or what? We are so excited and a little nervous too. I know that our lives are about to change forever, but it's definitely a good thing. Hopefully it won't take too long!!! We'll try and get some pictures up on the blog as soon as we can.

Catch Up!











I know it's been a few months since I posted, so here's a quick little "catch-up." Shean and I are both living in Bear Lake now with my parents. Shean has been working here since the middle of August building houses for ProLux with my dad. The first part of September, I was admitted to the hospital because of elevated liver enzymes and high blood pressure. Turns out, they still don't know what is causing the elevated liver enzymes, and I still have high blood pressure, so I was forced to leave American Crafts earlier than expected. Instead of being on bed rest at home in Orem all by myself 24 hours a day, I decided to come up at stay here at Mom & Dad's.

Things are looking good with the baby. I had an ultrasound a couple of weeks ago, and they said that he's right on schedule and looking healthy. That is truly a blessing! I am getting progressively more nervous and more excited with each day that passes. It's going to be such a huge change!

Because we are living up here for work, we are trying to sell our townhouse in Orem. I have created a blog to show pictures of our place, so if you or anyone that you know is interested, please let us know. It makes me sad to sell, but sometimes life doesn't go exactly as we have planned, right? The blog is located at http://waterlefeforsale.blogspot.com/ .
This past weekend, we went to Jackson Hole and saw the Tetons. It was Shean's first time to go to Jackson and the Tetons. I think he thoroughly enjoyed himself. We were also able to see the Rexburg and Idaho Falls temples on the way to Grandma Rob's house. Mom and Dad came with us and we were able to have dinner with Mom's brother and his new wife, and also got to go to Texas Roadhouse for my birthday dinner. Yummy! We had an enjoyable weekend, and I'm sure that it's the last time I'll be allowed to go anywhere before the baby is born.

It's a Boy!

I'm sure most everyone has already heard, but we're expecting a baby in November. We just had our ultrasound today, and found out that it's a boy! I'm still in a bit of shock, only because our family has never had a boy. I'm not so sure how to do it! I'm sure I'll figure it out, and I'm really excited that everything looked normal and healthy. Shean and I both feel very blessed, and are now looking forward to getting everything prepared for our sweet baby boy!

Easter Weekend




We got to go to St. George for the weekend and it was wonderful! The whole fam went together and stayed at WorldMark. We took our bikes and enjoyed a ride one day. We were able to go to the St. George Temple to do Baptisms for some of Shean's family. That was a great way to start our Saturday morning. It was nice to be there together as a family. Shean, Mom and Dad, and I spent the rainy afternoon and evening at Zion's. It was beautiful! My battery on my camera was dying so I didn't get many pictures. We enjoyed being together as a family. McKenna's highlight was having "Easter" leave her a surprise. I love that she doesn't say the Easter Bunny, it's just Easter. It was so much fun having her around. I think our family might be kind of boring without her!

Married 1 Month!

I guess since we've been married one month now, it's probably a good time to finally put some pictures on my blog! This past month has been the best month of my life so far. Shean is the best husband, and I still feel like I'm living a dream. Our wedding was so beautiful, and there's nothing about the day that I would have changed. Thanks to everyone, especially my parents who helped make it exactly what I wanted. I know my mom never wants to make another pumpkin roll in her life, but I think everyone really enjoyed the great food. Thanks to everyone who joined in celebrating a very special occassion with us. We love you all and are looking forward to many happy years to come!
