Oh Baby!

Well, I'm sure if you're reading this you have already heard the news. We are expecting a baby!

We found out we were pregnant on May 22 (which just happens to be Greg's brother's birthday). Since he was getting married on the 27th anyway, we decided to share the news with the whole Burr family at the wedding.

So we wrapped these items and told Eric (Greg's brother) that we had a late birthday present/early wedding gift for him. He opened it and was very confused. A few moments later, everyone was screaming and so excited for us.

Since my parents are currently serving a mission in Panama, we decided it would be the least obvious to tell them we were expecting if we waited until Father's Day. So we arranged to skype with them and made Emily a cute little shirt.

We weren't skyping with them long before we had Emily show them her "new shirt". We were all crying (I'm allowed to because I'm pregnant).

Since all of my siblings live far away, when we finished chatting with my parents, we e-mailed them this picture of Emily. It was fun to receive e-mails, texts, and phone calls congratulating us.

Although Emily may not look excited, she actually is. 

Which brings us up to date. Being the worrisome and paranoid person that I am, I insisted on us waiting to tell the rest of the world until we were done with the first trimester and had seen the doctor. 

Today we are 13 weeks along and just met with the doctor. Well little baby, see you in January!

Hotter than Hades

Although it is consistently in the 100's down here, we still seem to be having fun this summer. Especially with such a cute 2 year-old!

She has the cutest facial expressions.

On Saturday, May 31, we met up with my cousin Nathan and his family at the M&M Factory. They moved to Arizona a few months ago, so now they live just two hours away from us.

It was fun to catch up and best of all...we were surrounded by M&Ms!

I am no doubt his favorite cousin. Now that we have that established...

Greg has been working really hard on our backyard. When we moved here the yard was dead with absolutely no grass. Greg got our grass growing and now look at how luscious it is. We all love it and are so proud of him. FYI: B.O. stands for Brick Oven. 

Here is Emily being cute.

Here is Emily "helping" Greg make cinnamon rolls.

Funny story, one night Greg started Emily's bath and told her he would be right back with some toys for her to play with in tub. Well, while he was gone he heard a splash...she had jumped in with her clothes on! Ha ha!

For the 4th of July weekend we had been planing on going to St. George to visit family. The day before we were going to leave our a/c went out in our car. We were pretty discouraged, but determined to go, so we rented a car for $10/day and drove the two hours.

Emily loved seeing her great grandparents and her Burr cousins. She was one happy girl.

Best of all, they just got a pool so we spent a ton of time swimming. You may be wondering why me and Greg are wearing shirts... well, the day before we both got really bad sunburns so we really didn't want it to happen again. 

Here we are with Aubry (Greg's sister) and little Meric.

Me and my favorite girl.

Greg being cool, as always. Happy 4th of July!
