I have an 8 year old!!!!

It is hard to believe that my oldest son just turned 8! It really does seem like yesterday that we were anticipating the birth of our first child. Will is such a special boy and it has brought us so much joy to watch him grow and develop into such a fine young man! Will loves to help with anything around the house and I have really started to rely on him for his help, he is also the best big brother!
I have watched him these past few months as we have tried to teach him much about baptism, this step that he will be taking this month to follow his Savior, Jesus Christ. I am amazed with how he loves the scriptures and can memorize the articles of faith so easily. I look forward to watching how his faith and testimony will grow as he continues to learn about the gospel of Jesus Christ. WE LOVE YOU Will Scott Boehme and are so blessed to have you as our son!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY WILL......how great to be 8!



My handsome 8 year old!

Auntie Jenny tied Will up in his streamers, there is always fun when she is around!

Big thanks to Jenny and Josh for opening their home to us on October 28th, Will's actual birthday! The kids had so much fun being together and celebrating Will's birthday and I couldn't have done it without Jenny and Josh. They even watched the kids for an hour so we could have some much needed one on one time with Will on his special day! I love my sister, she is such a wonderful host and always up for a PARTY! Thanks Jenny and Josh, we love you guys!

Bread Day

As you can see by my countdown I don't have much time left until I will have a sweet little baby in my arms. I am so excited to meet this precious little one, boy or girl. I have been feeling like it will be a girl, and Brian is pretty confident it is a boy.....to say the least we are a house divided! All the girls voting GIRL and all the boys voting BOY ! All my other babies were born at either 38 or 39 weeks so it could be anytime really. So.... today I decided to be ambitious and have a bread day . A friend of mine shared a new bread recipe with me and as most of you know I LOVE MAKING HOMEMADE BREAD, no store bought bread in this country house! And so today I decided to make a big batch to hopefully last until I have this baby. My friend even shared a secret on how to make BAGELS. Mmmmmm, they are so delicious. I think my favorite part about making bread is watching my kids come home from school on bread day and hearing....."Mommy it smells so good," "You made ...

still no baby yet! isn't this a great one of me, wish I could say I am making that face because I am in labor! Just a few round pictures of me, before I POP! Yes I am really trying to look happy and now you are all forced to make MANY comments about how great I look, how tiny I am AND SO ON! I think there must be something up with my due dates. My original due date was April 10th....so I guess I could have another week or more of pregnancy to endure. However, my ultrasound date was 3 weeks 7 days off so the DR decided to bump my date forward to April 1st, 2009! I feel like my body is trying to surrender and yet this baby is not quite ready to come into the world yet! Gotta trust the process I guess, baby will come when he/she is good and ready! I decided to remove the baby gadget that counted down the days so we all could be surprised together without counting DAYS! I for one, am going a little crazy with all the "what if's!" So.....wish me luck....say a little pray...
