The news you've all been waiting for....

Maybe I'm the only one who feels like I haven't blogged in forever.. But for those of you who have missed me, I'll tell you where I've been. :)
Drum roll please!....
Throwing up! Yep! We're gonna have baby number threeeee!! We are very excited, just sick of being sick is all. :)
We're due the end of March. That puts me at about 14 weeks. (3 1/2 months) I am already starting to think of all the things I need to do before this bundle arrives....ahh!
Blogging has taken the back burner for those that noticed. :) I just take care of what I can and eat and throw up and sleep.
I had a birthday on the 7th which was a lovely one. Zach was wonderful to me, but ya know, he always is! It is a little weird to think that I'm 27 now! I'm getting up there! One thing I'm excited about is the Anne of Green Gables series on DVD that Zach gave me. :) I've always wanted that in my collection. :) He also took me on a date Saturday night and then on Sunday I got a nap and when I woke he had made dinner. Oh the loveliness! Happy birthday to me!
Zach was put in as Executive Secretary in our ward on Sunday. So, now I'm thinking while he's at meetings I'll be able to catch up on blogging. Don't hold me to it, that's just what I'm thinking. There are so many fun things that we were able to do this summer, that I really need to jot down before I forget!
As to not make this super long, I'll just go now...and read some of your blogs. I have REALLY missed that! Lots of love! Becca~

before the paradise...

...often times is something not so much like paradise.
This story must be told...
There we were, Salt Lake airport ready for take off-11:56 AM...delayed.
We boarded the plane, taxied, Sarah fell asleep, mechanical problems...deplane. While going back to the gate it is announced we now have crew problems, what was once going to be a half hour is now going to be three....one could only hope! We found out the crew problems were that the pilot just found out his mom was dying, so he needed to go back to Atlanta. We couldn't really be mad at that...







Very long story short, Zach did some good talking and negotiating to get us a good amount of vouchers and an extra day in Hawaii. We did just about anything to entertain the kids, including licorice for Sarah...which she loved to say the least!
They got us a hotel for a little while and we bathed the kids, got them in their pj's and taxi'd on back to end up leaving at 10 pm! We couldn't believe the delay!...10 HOURS! We were so happy when we were finally in the air!
Ben woke up just before we landed and watched out the window. He was so excited when he saw Hawaii that he started yelling, "that's Hawaii, we're at Hawaii!!" Well, he got so excited, he had everyone on the plane cheering!!! It was SO funny!
