Where does the time go?

Clearly, I am not good at this blogging thing. Actually, I just don't have the time...my life is too busy and I'm loving it! Let me see. There has been a lot going on in the Van Leeuwen household lately. Where do I begin?

I guess I should start with announcing our exciting news: we're having a BABY! Our little girl is due in October. We are so thrilled to become parents. Here are a few photos Karen took when she visited for Memorial Day weekend. We went kind of crazy shopping for little pink and purple outfits! I can't wait to meet this little baby girl. I'm already in love!

Independence Day 2010

We didn't take too many photos for the4th of July this year. We did enjoy time with friends, family, good food, and of course...fireworks!

Wheeler Farm

We took Cadee (in our primary class, 3yrs old) to Wheeler Farm. She was so cute to watch. She loved the animals. I didn't enjoy the geese; I was afraid they would chase me! I've never been to Wheeler Farm, but loved it. I especially loved the baby cows.

DAUGHTRY & LIFEHOUSE CONCERT!!!

My wonderful hubby got tickets for me for Valentine's Day to go see Daughtry and Lifehouse on April 22nd. It was an awesome show! Thanks honey!

*LIFEHOUSE*

So many changes. . .

There are big changes in the Van Leeuwen household!

Most of you know we are selling our house and moving! We are so excited for our new adventure to start! We thought about moving back to Virginia for a while, but felt inspired to stay in Utah...just move a little south, to St. George, Utah. The views are breathtaking and the smaller town (smaller than Salt Lake City) appeals to me. I'd like to move to an even smaller town outside of St. George...we'll see! We have been looking for jobs and houses and for a while things have been slow. Now things are starting to move along for us and we couldn't be more excited! Our hope is to move by this by this summer! Pray things work out and we can make it happen by then!

How could you not love waking up to this every day?

Easter 2010

Happy Easter everyone!

I hope everyone had a wonderful time with friends and family. We sure did! Starting with sleeping in and waffles for breakfast to dying Easter eggs, to "egg-wars", eating way too much chocolate, and General Conference packed full of inspiration...what a wonderful weekend!

I am always curious to hear what other people do for their holiday traditions, so when Will and I have children one day, we can take all the things we like and make them become our own! Share them with me! I especially love Easter egg hunts!!!

April 2010

Happy spring?

We have made it all the way to April 2010. The weather has changed so much. One day it's 60's and sunny, the next day is 30's and snowing. I can't wait for the weather to warm up and stay that way!

So April 1st is a fun day...I pulled a prank on Will (my mom and sister). Together my friend and I schemed to make Will think I was pregnant. You see...my friend IS pregnant, so, I had her take a pregnancy test, for me. I then left the test on the bathroom sink for Will to find when he came home.

He said he started to believe me, but then remembered it was "April fool's day". I did get my mom and sister. They completely believed me. It was great. I then had to tell my mom "April fools" before she called the entire neighborhood! I don't think she was too happy...but I was laughing!

So just to clear things up...we DO NOT have anything to announce!

Christmas 2009 (I'm a little behind!)

Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!

Here are a few photos from Christmas (2009). We had a lot of fun this year, mostly because we were not in the middle of moving into our house like last year! It was fun to get up on Christmas morning and spend time together, just Will and I, before rushing off to spend time with Will's family. Next year we will be with my family for Christmas! I think the dogs enjoyed their stockings!
