UP to date, update?!

Things have been great, busy and changing rapidly since I've been able to really spend some quality blogger time. So, here's the Scoop.


-My church calling as YW prez. has been full speed since I was asked in December. I have already felt a wide range of emotions as I have had to pick counselors and advisors, arrange a million mtgs, plan mutual nights, Delegate, create and plan New Beginnings, give some "I'm Breona, and excited to be here" talks, and my first combined YW Lesson last sunday. WOO HOO. Seriously, I was nervous in a lot of those situations and I know that with prayer and faith anything is possible. It's been a great couple of months so far and feel lucky to have the experience. I have about 25 YW in my ward and all of them have been pretty hilarious to get to know.

-Most of you know that Dave is an 8th grade middle school teacher....well, this last weekend the roof of his school partially collapsed from all of the snow. The damage was mostly over the girl's locker room and over the 2 gyms. Luckily for them, it happened on a weekend. He and the rest of the teachers have been relocated at the elementary and High school until further repairs. Kids were in shambles because their precious books and 'crap' were thrown into garbage bags and labeled for them to pick up later. I guess some stuff was damaged and kids were losing it?..Dave says the week has felt more like a month. CRAZY Kamas snow needs to ease up.!
-Beckham is a million miles per hour. His hair is growing back to the red shag. He can feed himself with a fork and spoon. Gives Kisses freely, loves to thrown balls, he has a fetish with putting things in his ears and walking around with them hanging out...like a pen or something dangerous like that. He is alway giggling, dancing, jumping, and does sign language like a champ. He signs, Bath, food, drink, milk, all done, book, and please. It's been a life saver. He got his first pet goldfish yesterday and loves to smack his mouth up and down to do what they do.
Right this minute he's being a good boy and watching Einstein in Dave's Class while I use the computer. Ya, I'm about this close to just purchasing the internet for home.

-SO, Baby baby news. I am about 20 weeks prego now and showing it for sure. My belly isn't so huge but it's definately a bulge with added weight and slight discomfort...but nothing compared to what I know now is ahead. I feel excellent and have an appointment WEDNESDAY to see the little FETUS. We will find out then whether "it" is a BOY or a GIRL. What do you think? I kind of think Girl and Dave says Boy?? We can't wait to add some detail to our thoughts about this lil' #2.

-MY dearest mother had a Birthday this week and turned a Whoppin 45. She's a young, HIP Gram and that's for sure!. Beckham and I spent the night on Tuesday and helped celebrate her Big day Wednesday. Here are a couple clips of the Bday girl throwing a dance party. haha


-The list will end here with our fabulous Valentines Date. YAY. Dave and I actually found a babysitter and went out to a lush restaurant in Park city. I even splurged and ordered a special brewed....cream soda. They did have quite the list of Brews too. For a non-soda kinda girl it was pretty good. Anyways. There's the Latest and Greatest. Hopefully all ya'll are out adventuring for the long weekend. PEACE.

Your little tum is looking cute. That's crazy about the snow. We were a little worried here since we have a flat roof, but the sun has been shining for the last few days and has melted a lot of snow. I'm excited to see what you are having. I guess girl, but I was wrong last time. Looking foward to an update!
