Not sure when blogger changed their format (since we didn't have internet for so long), but it's tripping me out. Change is fun though.
Still no pictures of our house. I know, I know.... I'll get on that. It's been a little busy here.
Some going-ons:
-Tyler and I celebrated our 5th Anniversary in June. It's flown by and has been an AWESOME 5 years. I wish I took more pictures of the weekend, but this is what we did.
*Tyler took off Friday and we took Danica to the Discovery Museum at the Gateway. She loved it! (lots of pics below) *We then spent about $30 on chocolate at the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. So worth it. (I just finished the last of it yesterday). *Dani ran around at the splash pad at the Gateway, had a blast, and got soaking wet *We then met with Tyler's Aunt Ann for lunch. She's Elder Bruce D. Porter's secretary so we ate at the Nauvoo Cafe and took our food outside. Showing Dani the Salt Lake Temple and eating lunch in view of it was really neat. *We finished the day off with a little bit of shopping in American Fork
-Saturday we dropped Dani off at Brent and Marie's place (thanks again guys!!) and headed up to the Hale Center Theater in West Valley. Tyler bought us tickets to the musical Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. It was SUUUUPPPPPER good! We were cracking up. And it was awesome to see a couple people I know (Dave Tinney and Debra Weed) performing that night. *We then ate dinner at Olive Garden... and, let me tell you, I am pregnant... If I wasn't really sure before, I am now. So....We originally went to Chili's because Tyler was hankering for a burger and I was craving pasta. We thought their menu was diverse enough to have both. Well they don't have pasta and my pregnant belly was set on pasta. I started crying right there in the restaurant. I felt so stupid, but I couldn't stop crying. Tyler felt bad and suggested we go to Olive Garden. I felt bad for making him feel bad and cried some more. Frustrated I was crying over this, I let out a grunt/sigh thing. It was louder than I meant it to be. Oops. We just started laughing. Well my laugh made my crying worse. It turned into some weird... sob...thing... When our waitor came back Tyler told him we were going to go somewhere else. I just stared at my lap and then the floor as we walked out. I did see the people in the booth right next to us just staring at us as we walked out. They had probably been staring at our table since that stuffed-up pig noise came out of me.
-Another fun thing happened on our anniversary. Most of you probably know there are traditional gifts you can give that correspond to each anniversary year. Since we didn't have the internet, my sister Eileen found the gift for a 5th anniversary is wood. Well, I think she actually may have been mistaken on a couple of those letters. No, the gift is not "wood," in fact, it's "poop." That's the gift Dani gave me anyway. I was ready to toss some cookies when someone woke up from their nap and started playing with their poop! I came in to find her wiping it on her clothes, blankets, crib, legs, and arms! I got her out, wiped her down, and asked her what she was doing with her poop. Her response was "beans." BEANS?? Sick! I sure hope she wasn't eating it! She must have noticed the look on my face because she chuckled as she said, "Nooooo.... clothes." So I asked her if she was wiping it on her clothes and she said yes. So sick. It was definitely time for a bath and more laundry. Oh, and Dani got a bath too. :) Happy Anniversary.
And in more recent news,
*Tyler and I both got callings. Tyler was called as the Elders Quorum Secretary and I was called as the RS Meetings Coordinator.
*I am 20 weeks pregnant today. Half way there! We find out the gender on Monday! I'll be sure to take a belly pic soon. I was so good with taking belly pics with Dani... not so much this time. I'm also a lot bigger this time around than I was with Danica.... I guess that's sort of to be expected... that's what I tell myself.
*Dani will be 2 years old at the beginning of August! My how quickly time goes by! She's learning so many new things each day.
Here are a bunch of pictures of our Sweetie Pie when we took her to the Discovery Museum and the splash pad at the Gateway

FYI
I just wanted to let everyone know that we're alive... we just don't have internet yet.... and wont for another month or two.
But we've been in our house for 2 weeks now (I totally typed "apartment" just then, instead of house) and really enjoy it in Eagle Mountain. We still have boxes to unpack and still live out of duffel bags, but our neighbors are awesome! Everyone has been so welcoming and Dani LOVES having all the kids around. We haven't explored much in the city yet because my allergies and asthma have been crazy bad, but they seem to be getting better now.
I'll update more when I can.

Home Sweet Home
We closed on our first home yesterday!!!!! WOOHOO!
We're really excited and will start moving in slowly during the next few days.
Then Saturday we'll have a yard sale.
On Monday, the plan is to do most, if not all, of the cleaning of the apartment we're in now.
It will be a little sad leaving Provo, as we've lived here for 7 years, but we're ready for this next chapter and excited to start something new.
Sorry no pictures yet. We'll work on that.

More Yay
Tyler and I put in an offer on a home and it was ACCEPTED Wednesday!
We're so excited! It was such a quick process for us.... Meeting with a loan agent on Monday, viewing homes on Tuesday, and having our offer accepted on a place on Wednesday. Still a lot to have happen before we close.
We'll be moving into a townhome in Eagle Mountain in the beginning of June. Yikes... so much to get done! :)

Yay!
I'm so excited Danica went potty in her potty chair today, for the very first time! Who knows if it'll take off now or still be a while, but she got to pick out a balloon today.

Let the strange dreams begin!
I always have weird dreams when I'm pregnant.
I won't bore you with all the crazy details, but let me just say that it involved me being sick at the hospital with blood sugar levels at 1 (!!!), being loopy and sliding off the hospital bed (like down a slide) over and over, and having to donate a lung to my 8 week old fetus!.... I'm pretty sure our baby doesn't even have lungs formed yet.
Weird.

La Dee Da Dee Dum... What's the name of that song?
I tried to take a nap when Danica did, but instead I couldn't get a song out my head.
It was the song in the video below.
I can't guarantee the song wont get stuck in your head too, once you listen to it.

Don't you love the old school Sesame Street?
-White Christmas?!
-No!!
