Drake's sneaky new trick
Drake has figured out how to open up the back door and go outside. Normally I don't mind, but every once in awhile it really frustrates me that I can't keep him inside!
Step #1: Reach up, unlock the door and open it
Step #2: Put the dogs in a headlock and drag them outside
Step #3: Grin at mom that you made it out without her help.
Step #4: Laugh at mom when she tells you that you have been naughty. And enjoy playing outside while the sunshine lasts!!!!!!!! I guess I can't blame him, who wouldn't want to be outside on a beautiful spring day?
Someone else also enjoys the sunshine!
At least we have a little fence up to keep him locked in the back yard. I'm just hoping he doesn't figure out the front door any time soon!

Our ultrasound...
We had our complete ultrasound last week to check on all the parts of the baby. Our baby is still a GIRL! We are so excited. We also found out some unfortunate and shocking news about her……
She has a left unilateral cleft lip and a cleft palate. We are so heartbroken that our little angel will have to go through so much after birth. We feel so blessed that it isn’t anything more serious, but it is still so hard to imagine. We know that it is something that is completely fixable and we are so grateful for that! We just can’t imagine putting our little baby into surgery. She will most likely have 3-4 surgeries in her first year of life and then more as she gets a little older. Her first surgery will most likely be when she is about 6 weeks old. All of the surgeries are done in Salt Lake City. Children with clefts also may have difficulty eating, speech problems, chronic ear infections, or dental problems. When we heard the news, we sort of thought it would be one quick surgery, but that is not the case unfortunately. As far as the ultrasound could tell, she is healthy in every other way. Throughout my life I have always had a strong feeling that I would have a child with some sort of special needs. I have NEVER said this out loud to a soul, because I sure wouldn’t wish this on any of my children. I had no clue that it would be something like this though. In her own way, she will have certain special needs. I am soooooo sensitive and I don’t know how I’m going to make it through these surgeries. I cry at everything, even commercials!!! I just don’t feel like I am a strong enough person, but I know everything will work out fine. This may sound weird, but I truly feel so much closer to this baby after hearing this news. Maybe it is that natural protection that every mother has. I am so thankful and excited to be her mom. I already love her so much! I know she will teach me so much, and hopefully help me become a better person and a better mother. I am so thankful for my husband, mom, family, and our loving Heavenly Father to help us get through this journey!

New things!
Our life has been crazy busy lately! We moved again about a week ago. We moved into our old neighborhood and we love it here! We love our new house and love the neighborhood and ward.
Also, I am working a little bit now too! I just work at a doctor's office 2 evenings a week (from 4-8). And I usually work 1 Saturday a month too! It is the perfect amount of hours for me and I can still stay home with Drake. It is working out great!

Easter
We had a great Easter Sunday. We spent the day getting dressed up, eating brunch at the Shilo, watching conference, spending time with family, and relaxing. It was a great day!
Drake was excited about the basket that the Easter Bunny left for him! He even hid a few eggs for him.... (scattered on the couch)
Drake woke up grumpy and not feeling well. He was a trooper though. Poor little guy!
He wasn't fond of the Easter Bunny!
6 grandkids... They are all so cute! My grandparents bought them all their Easter outfits! Thanks Mammy and Papa!
Drake just loves this woman! He wouldn't leave her alone on Sunday!
