I know it has been forever. My life is a little chaotic right now. Caleb has discovered the stairs, so most of my day is spent going up and down retrieving him. He has also started standing up. It is so cute he stretches his arms above his head like a monkey and grins like crazy. Benjamin meanwhile has been doing really well at potty training. We still have a long way to go but we are getting there. He also decided he wanted his head shaved because the kid next door had his shaved. It was extremely traumatic and we will not be doing it again. He screamed the whole time. But we had already started so we couldn't stop. Plus Chris and I felt absolutely horrible, and he looked like a Chemo patient for about a week. He kept saying he wanted his hair back. Never Never Again. He likes it now, but so not worth it.

Anyway in really good news we got to hear the heart beat of our little future spud and Chris got a 34 on his MCAT. Which puts him in the 93 percentile. So that means only 7% of the people who took it did better. In other words he is a Genius. I think he has a pretty good chance with his score and GPA of getting in almost anywhere. So cross your fingers. There are those fluke instances. We know in the end that we will end up going or doing what ever the lord has in store for us. I am so proud of him. He is such a blessing in my life. Always in a good mood when I need him and knows just how to cheer me up. As some of you may know I get really mean and grumpy when I am pregnant. He is such a trooper, but I am in my second trimester so things have been a lot better. Also we had our family anniversary, which is the day of our sealing, and we went to this city pool with a fun kids water playground and some tube slides. IT was soo much fun. Benny and Caleb just played and played. I even went down one of the tube slides. I don't remember them being that fast. I was freaking out. But am ready to go again so get ready Pam and Grandma cause we are going when you get here. We are so grateful for eternal families and that I know me and Chris and our children will be together forever. I don't know if heaven would be as much fun with out my eternal companion.

Look at that sexy stud. You know your jealous.
Here are my boys enjoying some icecream at an outdoor movie on BYU campus.
