Travis and I just got home after a long, but fun weekend in Mesquite, Nevada. The Ducks Unlimited convention was this weekend and we both had a lot of fun. We got there late Friday night, and I was having some sickness issues soooo I went to the room while Travis went to the social party. Saturday was great - 80 degrees and sunny....I got my first tanning session in and got to check out some work by the local artisans. Travis shot sporting clays and almost won...He was A class champion (can't complain about that). Dinner was so funny - there was seriously a guy that looked and sounded just like Ron White. He made the night. We were unsuccessful with the raffle because Travis jinxed us before it started. Overall it was a super relaxing weekend....can't wait for Vegas next weekend.

Honker

We have a new addition to the family, Honker. Right now he goes by Bruno, but when he goes home with us that will change. Travis and I went on Sunday to Jeanne & Wade's house to watch the puppies and see if we liked a certain one...we loved them all of course, how can you choose?!?

Bruno's personality stuck out the most, second to his size (he's definitely the biggest one)

Travis can't wait to have a hunting partner, and I am excited to have some more company. Oreo will be excited to have a friend too. Obviously she needs one after seeing this picture...

First Day on the Boat

Travis and I decided to take are first ride of 2009 on the mud buddy today. It was a perfect day outside, so we had to go. You would think the boat wouldn't be much fun since it's for hunting, but we always have a blast. I'm kind of a nature freak, so to get so close to birds on lake where no other boats can go is awesome. We were going to take Oreo, but she was shaking so bad we decided to leave her behind.

Utah County DU Banquet

Tonight was Travis' Ducks Unlimited banquet that he has been putting on ever since I met him. It was a hit, and more people were there than ever before. I love going to the banquet, but I'm also glad when it's over so that I get to see more of my husband.

It was so nice to have three hours to spend with Wade and Jeanne (my in-laws) and Rhett and Jen.

Prego

So Travis and I have been trying to have a baby for awhile now, and we finally hit the jackpot. We couldn't be more excited, and even though it's bad luck to tell people before your 1st trimester is over, we have told everyone and their mother. I personally couldn't be happier, but I also have some anxiety about a few things. I think I'll be a great mother though, and Travis will be an even better father. Today I hit 6 weeks and morning sickness came right on time....sad. I was hoping I wouldn't get sick, but of course I'm experiencing that as well as a number of other great symptoms. It's alright though, everything will be worth creating the greatest miracle of our lives!
