...So I kept feeling funny, like the flu wouldn't go away...
I kept complaining to my friend Darcy, after a few weeks of my complaining, she said "Jan could you be pregnant?" I told her she was crazy.........but after her comment, I couldn't stop thinking about it...so we did a test and much to our surprise...it was POSITIVE!!!!!
Yes positive!
So we are having a BABY!
I have had two ultrasounds (the Dr. didn't believe it either) We saw our little gummy bear and everything is going great.
Today I went to the Dr. for my 12 week appt. and heard the heartbeat again, and I still don't really believe it! Flint and I are super excited and still in disbelief.
I've realized that we are not totally in control of our lives. The Lord has his hand in all things. Flint and I have accepted how we thought our lives would be and have gone forward living our lives, and just when we get comfortable with how things are going and life gets "easy" things change. We are here to learn and grow right? I've also re-learned that heavenly Father has a sense of humor!
We're having a baby!

Camping Trip...New Truck
I am so lame...all I ever blog about is our trips...so here we go again...
We went camping with Dale & Amanda and kids and Sam & Sarah and Will. It was a lot of fun. We camped between Mormon Lake (swamp hole) and Lake Mary (just outside of Flagstaff) It was super cold at night and pretty warm during the day! I was thankful for our camper.
We went kayaking on Lake Mary several times. Lets just say that I need some more practice rowing. I can go in a mean circle!!!
We had dinner at Black Barts in Flagstaff...this is where Aunt Sarah used to work.
This is our family self portrait at Black Barts! Cooper loves his picture taken. We told him to smile big and this is what we got!!! My Angel!
Cooper had tons of fun playing with Joy. Those two make me laugh...They loved the tree swing that Flint and Dale made. It made me nervous to watch how high Flint swung those kids. They also loved to ride their bikes down the hill going what seemed like 55 mph...luckily no one was injured...but the training wheels are almost all burned off!
We all had a great time at the Deer Farm (by Williams) It was hilarious how the deer would just try to eat your shirt if you didn't give them food. They also like to bite your rear or in Dales case he nearly lost a nipple!!! The kids LOVED it and we all had a good laugh. I learned that Flint is very scared of reindeer. This huge (fenced in) reindeer snorted at Flint and he jumped so fast he nearly fell down. I had a stomach ache from laughing so hard. (either from laughing or the smell I'm not sure which)
It was a great time, and nice to just relax and not have phone service for a few days...I wish I would have taken more pictures...
AFTER we got home, Flint decided that he NEEDED to buy a new truck. Actually he has been drooling and wishing for over a year...He finally found what he wanted. He has not stopped smiling YET! He is in love. (In case you couldn't tell by the picture)

Tagged From Kara!
Okay...so I have to quit my blogging strike! I have no good excuse for my delinquency, except...I'm busy! Just not sure what I am busy doing....
Kara tagged me and so now I get to tell ya'll 7 reasons why I love Cooper
( I could do a 100)
1. I love his SMILE. He makes ME smile every day!
(this picture was taken last weekend in Holbrook at Maki's wedding)
2. I love it when he falls asleep in the red chair, two seconds after telling me that he's NOT tired!!! oh I also love his long eyelashes.
3. I love that he has no sense of style, and doesn't care what other people think, I mean if he did care, he surely wouldn't wear these boots to the grocery store, riding his bike all over the neighborhood, to our friends house, etc...I did have to put my foot down and not let him wear these to church!
4. I love that last night he tried to steal silk flowers out of Sam and Sarah's bathroom for me for Mothers Day! He came home and told me "Mom I wanted to get you pretty flowers for Mothers Day and Daddy said NO!"
5. I love that he rhymes all his words...at least I'm trying to not get annoyed by it. I'm trying to love it anyway...
6. I LOVE that he loves his Dad! Okay I actually get jealous.
7. I love that he is ours forever...
This is him at the Temple when get he got sealed to us.
Okay I tag Sarah Rogers, Alexys, Suzette, DeAnn, and Allison

LET'S HEAR IT FOR MEXICO!!!
Okay...so I hate Rocky Point. I associate it with vomiting and diarrhea. Now that sounds like a great vacation!!!
I would much rather go to San Diego...at least you can drink the water there and go to the ER if you need...
I have managed to talk Flint out of going for several years...but I lost this battle with Flint and so off we went to Mexico.
I have to take back MOST (but not all) of my complaints. We had a really good time. Maybe it was the company we had...Isaac and Jenny (and friends) were a lot of fun. We took my nieces, Lindsey and Shanna. Cooper was in heaven with those two around.
I forgot to take pictures except for the last day that we were there. So here are a few...
Cooper playing at the beach
Our family picture...
This is our trailer. We camped so close to the beach. It was awesome.
Cooper and Flint looking for shells while the tide was out.
Shanna, Lindsey, and I going to look for sand dollars
Shanna with her cute braids
We searched and searched for sand dollars at Cholla Bay. All we found were sand quarters...
This is what Flint looks like after he flipped his 4-wheeeler going about 45 miles per hour. He pretty much totaled his bike. Good thing he has nine lives...too bad he is like number 8!!!
He actually looks a lot worse now, because all the bruising.
Anyway, we had a great time. We are looking forward to going again soon.

San Diego!!!
Our wedding this weekend cancelled so we decided to load up the camper and go to San Diego.
We found an RV park right on the beach at Mission Bay.
This is the beach where we are camped. Flint & Cooper worked hard to spell Cooper's name in the sand. Too bad the tide is going to erase it in a few minutes!!!
It is kind of cold and stormy today, so kite flying was the perfect activity. Cooper's is of course Spiderman and Flint's is an alligator. The ducks and seagulls are not afraid of the people...the people are however afraid of them!!!
This is us at the aquarium in La Jolla...way cool.
Cooper's favorite sea life were the sharks and the octopus! This octopus was huge and ugly.
This was the COOLEST ever. All those brown dots behind Cooper and Flint are seals...about 50 of them!!! (This is the best place to swim with seals, last time we came here Flint and my niece Brittney got in the water and swam with them. It is in La Jolla)
Cooper loved watching the huge waves crash on the rocks.
Cooper and me on the carousel at Seaport Village.
So now ya'll are caught up on our last two days! To bad we have to come home in a few days!!!
