It has been a couple months since I last updated this blog. I started and then never posted it, so here is a load down especially for all family that miss seeing Mark. He is really growing up and his personality is really coming out. He loves to make all sort of different sounds and he dances to music.

Here is our up date: Bret got his orders to Bangor Washington. He was suppose to graduate September 28th and be moving to Washington about now, but things are getting held back for everyone and we now will leave sometime in November. At first we really wanted to get to Washington and get settled before Aliza comes in December, but now I can see the Lord's hand and this is a better plan. Things are falling into place and will be better this way. This way, there are better chances that Bret will be there for her birth, but we don't know for sure until we get there. It will be cutting it really close to Aliza's due date, but I am determined to have Aliza in Washington. We will make it there even if its a week or 2 before her due date. I get my determination from my mom. She was determined to have one of my brothers with her mom there and she waited to have my brother until her mom got there, even though my brother was ready to come. She had him after her due date, but my grandma was there. I don't know how she did that, but she did.  I am feeling so much peace about everything right now. I know as we press forward with faith all things will work out. I am so happy to be having a little girl. I hope she is ready for her very active one year old brother.

Mark is now 10 months old (Sept 16 -Oct. 15th 10 months old), but on October 16th he will be 11 months old. Here are lots of pictures of Mark growing up.

We exercise in the morning and Mark loves it. Lately its been feeling really good in the morning. Summer time was harder to exercise because it was so humid, but now its feeling really nice.

This night he was in a really funny mood. 

Mark was being really funny this night so I got the camera out and started taping and then soon found out that he could stand up in his crib. We now lowered it to the lowest setting. We just got back from the temple. He had taken a 3 hour nap that day and then slept 1.5 hours to the temple and 1.5 hours home. So when we got home at 11:30pm he was ready to play and didn't want to be in his crib. I am glad that I found out that he could pull himself up while I was in the room. He is such a funny boy.

He loves to hold things with his feet

Mark has three top teeth coming in at the same time

Its hard to see the 3rd one in this pic, but there are 3 teeth coming in. 

Spending time with dad, while mom was gone. I just walked in the door and had to take a pic. So cute!

Here is a video of Mark's army crawl and wearing his army pants (My friend gave me a bag of clothes and it had these army pants in it). This one is for Grandpa Gary and Uncle Matt.

22 weeks (6 months) with Aliza

29 weeks (7 months) with Aliza

I am feeling really good this pregnancy. I wasn't as sick this time as I was with Mark and I feel like I have more energy. I am really glad for that because Mark keeps me very active. He needs to get out of the house every day. He loves being outside and going places.
