September 16

September 16 has come and gone. I think a lot of people expected it to be a hard day, but I looked forward to the day with much excitement and anticipation. It was the one year anniversary of the day my dad died. Matt and I woke up early and met Mike and Merry (Matt's parents) at the Seattle temple around 7:50am. We had an 8 o'clock appointment at the baptistry. Matt did twelve baptisms, all from my side of the family, including my dad and grandpa (my dad's dad), and I did nine. We then did the confirmations, initiatories, and then an endowment session where Matt and his dad took through my dad and grandpa's names. It was the most incredible day, it was the day I had prayed for my whole life, my dad was now a member of the church, my prayers had been answered. Our prayers aren't always answered in the way we expect them to be, but God does hear them, and He will answer them. I am encompassed about by His tender mercy.



This is a picture of Matt and I greeting my dad when we walked out of the temple the day we were married. This is the same temple we did his work in.

OK, I have a question, about a week ago Matt and I put up the baby tracker countdown (you know the one with the baby bouncing around in the bubble), and above it we wrote Number Three, and it also says Christina's Baby, on the right side bar underneath our family picture, so we figured everyone would know we are expecting baby #3. Well with all the comments about if I was pregnant on our last post I'm starting to think that maybe it's not showing up when people are pulling up our blog, is that true? I know it's showing up when some people pull it up because they have left comments, but maybe it's not pulling up for everybody. Please let me know, and yes we are expecting a new addition to our family this February!

Our Utah Trip

We had Quinn's birthday party at Ali's house in Provo, we thought that would be good for Quinn since most of his friends live there.
Here's Quinn and Cameron with Quinn's b-day cake. They're so cute, I love they're cute little smiles.
Landon and Ava. Ava has a mouth full of candy in most of the pictures. She's a sweet-aholic, just like her daddy.
The bunch!
The girls! Me, Annie, Dani, Amy, Ali. We were all in the same BYU ward while our husbands went to school, and we had so much fun together. Three out of five of us are pregnant with our third baby in this picture. They all still live in Utah except for me, and they are the reason I miss it so much.
The boys, Cameron, Matthew, Quinn, and Jack (or as Ava calls him Gack)Ali's little girl Sheridan. She's so funny, this is the only picture of her I got without her thumb in her mouth, she loves that thing. It's so cute, I always wanted a baby that sucked their thumb, but haven't had one yet.
