Spy Training School

This weekend we had a Spy Training School Sleepover Party with our nieces and nephews here in Illinois. The fun started a week earlier when we gave them special invitations.

When they arrived at our house, they each got to choose a spy name. Then we learned how to be spies! We had a balance beam, bombs, lasers, observation and a final test. The final test was a set of clues that guided the spies back through all of the fun things we had already done. At the end of the test, they became agents.

Next we watched Spy Kids and ate spy candy. Then it was lights out! The next morning we ate waffles for breakfast then watched Spy Kids 2. It was a fun party!


I must give credit to the internet. It gave me ideas and I adapted them to fit our party.

Twice the News!

We are very excited to announce that we're pregnant!!

From 2012-02-05 Pregnancy Announcement
With TWINS!!!

The twins are currently 14 weeks old and are due on August 2, 2013. We are officially 1/3 of the way through the pregnancy! Because we're having twins, the pregnancy is considered high-risk, meaning that the doctor keeps a closer eye on us. For us, that means monthly ultrasounds! Here's a few of them:

7 weeks
From 2012-12-17

10 weeks
From 2013-01-07

14 weeks
This ultrasound was particularly fun because the babies were moving around. They're positioned side by side with their heads next to each other. They must already be having a good time!


Our 14 week ultrasound was a little early to be able to tell genders. We'll have to wait until our next appointment at the beginning of March. We are so very excited and feel so blessed to be growing our family and become parents!

California to Illinois

Oh Man! It's been a long time! Since the Air Show at Miramar, we had a wonderful Christmas with the Eggett Family. Dad, Mom and Kimberly drove down from Utah, and we all met at the Johnson's house. It was SO much fun watching Elise's kids play with all of their new toys!

From 2012-12-25 Christmas

Just days after Christmas, we had movers at our house packing up all of our belongings and both cars - starting our yearly move. This time, to Illinois. We had such a wonderful year in San Diego! We miss our friends, the weather and all the fun things (definitely including the beach) to do there!

Although we were very sad to leave beautiful San Diego, we were/are excited for our next adventure. It's true, the weather here does NOT compare to California at all, but we are lucky to be living close to a lot of family! It has taken us some time to get settled in and unpack all of our boxes, but we're finally ready for the debut of our new home! Enjoy the slide show!
