On our way...

Anyone want to babysit?

Okay I guess dogsit, she is our baby though.

I have completely forgotten to find a sitter for our cute puppy Lilo.  We are so excited to be leaving to Disneyland with Remi's family on Saturday the 17th and will be home Sunday the 25th. 

She is super cute and so much fun.  I won't lie, she is a high energy dog and loves to play!  She loves to be outside so if you have a fenced in yard you can just throw her out back. 

ANY TAKERS?

We would appreciate it so much!

So this is what we have been up to...

Cruise to the Caribbean

We went with my whole family including cousins from my dads side.

It was a blast!

The Ranch

We invited my cousin Kristi and her husband Dario.

I'm glad they were able to come, it was way fun!

Lilo especially LOVED it!

When we got home she would sit in the garage next to the car just waiting for us to take her back.

Enjoying the hot summer!

sno-cones & swimming pools


She goes crazy over the hose!


Watching movies
We rented 'Bolt' and she watched about half the movie with us, it was so cute!


Trek
Remi and I got called to be Ma & Pa for Trek. It was just a one day trek, so we thought it would be pretty easy. It was tougher than we expected. We loved getting to know some new youth from the stake. It was a good experience.




Girls Camp!
I was so excited to be able to go to girls camp this year! It was ward camp, which I love. We had a blast playing games, relaxing, and goofing around. I love those girls, they are the BEST!

The finished nursery

No I don't cry when I go in there

I love this room and I can't wait til I get to do something more with it!

Very much needed post!

Everytime I get on my blog I think how depressing I need to update this, but then I am too lazy to load my pictures and actually do it. So I decided I should at least post something. I don't want you to think that I have been depressed for the last 2 months, because I have not.

Actually we are doing quite well. We have done a lot this summer (hopefully pictures will come soon). We love our dog, Lilo, she is such a joy in our lives and I'm so grateful we got her! She keeps that smile on my face :) Updates will come soon.

:(

I just wanted to let everyone know that we lost the baby on July 9th. Our hearts ache, but we are doing okay. I just wish I knew the reason why, not that it would make it any easier, but at least we wouldn't be left wondering. We have no idea if she miscarried, decided to keep the baby, or what??? We have tried emailing her to ask for some closure but we have not yet heard from her.

Thank you for all your support.

it's a...

it's a ... GIRL!


If you can't tell, we are very excited that we are going to be adopting a little baby girl! As soon as we got home we started to write on the driveway at 10:30 PM. Our neighbors came over to share our excitement and they took some pictures for us. I'm glad we were able to get it all done, because right as we were going inside it started raining :( Oh well. The neighbor girls said they would fix it tomorrow :) I think it turned out pretty cute though, I did the letters and my artistic husband added the swirls!

I'm so excited to go and start buying pink stuff!

Guess what...

Remi and I are going to be a MOMMY & DADDY!

We are a adopting a baby in October

We couldn't be more excited!

It all happened so quickly. Our profile was only on-line for about 3 weeks when we got an email from a birth mom on May 31st which was totally unexpected. When we were on our cruise, my aunt said, "aren't you anxious to be checking your email everyday?" and I told her no because we had only been online for a couple of weeks and I didn't expect to hear anything for a while. Well sure enough when we got home there was an email! It was funny because Remi was napping and I freaked out and ran up the stairs and I totally scared him so bad! So this past week we have been emailing her back and forth. (We have been on a big rollercoaster ride this last week). She said things in her email that got us really excited and made it sound like she was going to pick us. We had set a day to meet with her and in the mean time we got a call from our caseworker telling us to not get our hopes up because this birthmom was communicating with 3 other couples and she was supposed to meet with one of them this week as well as us. Our hearts sunk, even though we knew it was best for her to keep her options open. So we took a step back and tried to keep in mind that we might not be the ones. So anyway we met with her on Monday, June 8 (the best day ever). Her caseworker told us that the birthmom wanted to meet with all the couples to help make her decision easier, so we were not expecting anything at all. (I think we were the first and only couple she met with). So we were at the agency for a little over an hour talking with her and then we took her out to dinner. After dinner she pulled me aside and said, "Mindy I think it's your place to tell your husband that your 5 months pregant" WHAT? (yes she had to repeat herself because I wasn't sure if i heard her right). REALLY? I gave her a huge hug and then again asked, ARE YOU SERIOUS? and then gave her another hug and thanked her. I was just in such shock, I couldn't believe it! I was so happy. So then I got in the car and told Remi that I was 5 months pregnant, he first looked a little confused but then caught on and gave me a big hug and kiss (tears). We couldn't be happier, we get to start our family :)

**On Tuesday June 16th, we get to go to an ultrasound appointment with her to find out if it's a boy or girl, so stay tunned! (This week is going by way too slow)
