This is Andrew getting his first haircut, and I am proud to say, that I (his favorite aunt!) got to do it for him. I am on his "s" list now, however, because he did not enjoy it. I was thinking he should be more mad at his mom, because she is the one who held him down, but there you go. He is a male after all, and they aren't always rational! Isn't he so stinkin' cute? (Notice my fat pregnant belly and my chubby face and hands...Ahhh, the joys of water weight! Of course, after nearly four years of trying and finally getting pregnant, I have a hard time mustering up any real complaints!)

Updates
We are still doing fine here. We don't get out much, so there isn't anything new! We are still anticipating our baby in another 6 - 8 weeks. (I am hoping for the 6 weeks, but we will see!)
Brady goes snowmobiling every chance he gets and the snow has been great this year. He enjoys doing that with his brothers.
I have been enjoying being home during the day. I have really been spoiled. I am tired all the time, so it is really nice to have to be at work all day.
This past weekend we went to Provo with Brady's brother Marty to watch the BYU-UNLV basketball game. It was a great game and we had lots of fun.
I have three baby showers coming up. There have been lots of nice people who have offered to have one for us, and I really appreciate it. I love parties!
Brady's dad seems to be doing well for now. He is getting around and feeling pretty good. We are hoping for as much time as we can get. We especially want him to see our baby.

Finally Friday...
Well, we have reached Friday relatively unscathed. This has been an unusual week for me. It is my last week of working here at this job. I will still be here on and off for a few hours at a time, but I will no longer be here everyday. I will be at home from now on. My bosses offered to pay me from now until the baby is born. They have already replaced me, but I will still get a paycheck and my benefits. It was a very nice offer and one I readily accepted. Since I will have the time now, I have lots of craft projects I am going to finish for Katie's room. I want to get it done well before she is born so I have it all ready for her.
I also had my friend's funeral yesterday. It was a little unnerving to be at a funeral service for someone who is my age. It was a nice service. I didn't make it to the gravesite because it was snowing and blowing and I am supposed to be on bed rest.
Isaac and Matthew are both being blessed on Sunday. Brady and I will have to split up so we can make it to both of them. It is too bad, I would really like to go to both of them! They are both getting big and they are both such cute babies.

My Friend...
My good friend from High School, Kara Tanner, passed away on Saturday January 26 at her home in Idaho Falls. I had recently been back in contact with her after she moved back here from Alabama. I will miss her. This is the obituary that was in the Post Register yesterday:
Kara Ann Tanner (May 2, 1980 - January 26, 2008)
Kara Ann Tanner (May 2, 1980 - January 26, 2008)
Kara Ann Tanner, 27, was born May 2, 1980 in Rexburg, Idaho to Karen Jean Passey and David Owen Tanner. Kara passed away peacefully at her home on January 26, 2008.
Kara attended high school at Austin High School in Decatur AL. She graduated in 1998 from Rigby High School in Rigby Idaho. She moved back to Decatur and lived there until 2006 when she moved back to Idaho Falls. She was employed at Chili's Restaurant and had many friends there.
Kara was preceded in death by her beloved grandparents Wallace and Laura Passey of Ucon, Idaho. She is loved and will be missed by her mother Karen Passey Steele of Idaho Falls, step-dad Patrick Steele of Decatur, Alabama, her father David Tanner and his wife Tammie of Longmont, Colorado; her sister and best friend Jill and brothers Weston, Brian, Brad and Sean and Grandparents Owen and Bonnie Tanner of Washington, Utah. Numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and friends will also miss her dearly.
Kara was loving and generous and loved by many, especially her family. She was a wonderful big sister and always took care of her younger sister and brothers. She was a true friend and many are lucky to have called her their friend. She brought happiness to many in her short time on this earth.
There are no words to describe our sorrow. Our loss is immense and she will be mourned for the rest of our lives.
Kara: For your strength of character and perseverance, resilience, and joi de vive I admire you, because you are my daughter, I love you, Mom.
Funeral Services will be held at 12 Noon on Thursday, January 31, 2008 at the LDS Church on 9th and South Boulevard in Idaho Falls.
The family will receive friends from 6:30-8p.m. on Wednesday, January 30, 2008 at Coltrin Mortuary, 2100 First St. Idaho Falls and one hour prior to the services at the church. Condolences may be sent to the family online at www.coltrinmortuary.com.

Happy New Year
I am going to try and do much better this year at keeping this updated!Here goes:
Our Christmas was really nice this year. We gave Brady's dad a book for him to fill out answers to questions about him and his childhood. We started right in on it and seemed to enjoy it. I will be so glad to have it for our family.
We are still in the same callings we have had. Brady teaches the priests and I teach the 10-year olds. I have a new group next week, and they are much more well-behaved than my last group! That last group could be pretty rotten sometimes!
We have tons of snow this year. I think it will make the winter seem longer than it has in the past. We couldn't even get our car down the road and have been driving our pickup. They finally plowed the road on Monday (a full week after the storm!) and we drove the car finally. That pickup was getting expensive.
We got a crib ordered last night. We are excited to get it put together. We have been putting it off and finally decided we had better get it coming so it was here and ready before I was too big to do anything about it!We are now done with the holidays and eagerly awaiting our new addition!
