May Milestones

On Wednesday, May 2 we had our big Pre-K Spring Program at school. My class sang 'Rockin' Robin'. They were a hit! Everybody loved them! I was proud of them for doing so well.

On Saturday, May 5 we drove to Cedar City to celebrate Rachel's graduation from Southern Utah University. Of course we mixed up the time change and totally missed her graduation, but it was nice to spend some time with family. In photo: Dad Burr, Mom Burr, me, Rachel, Greg, Aubry, Joel, and Jesse. We had a picnic in the park, played some games, and had some nice talks. In this picture I am 38.5 weeks along.

I work in this building. Welcome to the Kinderschool!

After working at the Las Vegas Day School for 9 months, I am quitting so I can be a stay at home mom. Having this job has been a tremendous blessing and has better prepared me to be a mother.

Here I am on my 28th birthday. Greg made me chicken cordon bleu, homemade rolls, veggies, and yummy rice. He is such a good husband!

He even made me cookie cake with 28 candles. I'm so old!

Here is proof that I blew all of them out!

Being 28 isn't so bad!

On May 16 (the day after my birthday) I reached my due date!! 40 weeks has just flown by (j/k)...

April Fun

On April 15 Greg turned the big 2-8. If you look closely I made him a cake with music notes on it. I was so proud of myself for being so thoughtful!

Greg's parents flew in for a surprise birthday visit.  ALL week I had to keep it a secret. I guess I did a good job because Greg was totally surprised to see them!

He blew out the candles and got some great gifts. Of course the best gift was the visit from his parents.

On Monday morning he took them hiking at Red Rock Canyon while I went to work.

They had a great time!

Then I met up with them after school and we went to Smash Burger. Awesome people, awesome memories, awesome times! We hope they come when he turns 29 too!

On April 19 the staff at my school threw me a Baby Shower. There was lots of food and fun! I am very lucky to work with such wonderful people. All day I wore a pink award that said: 'Mom to be!' You might say I'm a little excited to meet our baby girl.

These women all teach Pre-K with me. In photo: Deborah, me, Christine, and Nancy.

On April 21 the women in the ward threw me a Baby Shower too. This is a picture of SOME of the women who came. People are so good to us here!

Here is a picture of the Young Women who came! They are awesome!

Sister Snow was the woman in charge and did a great job! Thanks!

On April 28 we had Youth Conference. We went on an 8-mile walk to the temple. It was pretty fun and exhausting (I only did part of it). In this picture the youth are all pointing to 'F.P'.  F.P. stands for Francisco Park Ward---the ward we belong to.

It was a hard walk, but we had some great talks along the way.

And we made it to the temple!!! Arise and shine forth!!

The Best Two Years

On Saturday, March 24 we went over to my cousin's house for parties. I have three cousins that live in Henderson with their families (about 25 minutes away). In the photo: Troy, Adam, me, Brooke, Sarah, Jordan, and Emily. We celebrated Brooke's birthday and then Greg made his famous homemade pizza. It was a great time! FYI: Emily is due ten days before me.



On Sunday, March 25 we hung out with our friends, the Jolleys. Heather's due date was one month before mine, but the next morning she had her baby. So lucky. It's fun that our babies will be so close in age. Maybe that's why we had an immediate friendship.



On Monday, April 2 it was our 2 year anniversary. Since we were both on Spring Break we decided to do something outdoors. We went to Red Rock Canyon and went hiking. I got some pretty interesting looks seeing as how I'm almost eight months pregnant...


My attractive husband. . .


likes to show off!!


We went on two easy hikes and found a "waterfall", which was really a spring...



I was so proud of myself for doing the hikes with my belly. That night we went to Olive Garden for dinner and then went clothes shopping using one of my gift cards... even Greg had fun shopping.


On Thursday, April 5 we decided we wanted to go to a show since we probably won't be able to once our baby comes. We splurged and went to see 'Donny and Marie Osmond'. We knew it would be a clean show (and that is hard to find in Vegas). Even though we had never heard any of their music before, they did not disappoint. They were so good.


We bought the cheapest seats possible, but after we had been seated for about five minutes, an usher came up to us and asked if we wanted better seats for no charge. We said sure. He took us to the FRONT ROW. It was awesome! Even our little baby was going crazy! Donny danced on tables and sat on people's laps. Marie put on dark red lipstick and kissed men on their foreheads. I had no idea they were such a big deal!




'The Donny and Marie Show' is named the #1 Show in Vegas. Pretty awesome!



This picture is proof that Greg has gained a little weight... probably like 4 pounds. Take a look at that belly!!!


Happy Easter!!!



This Wednesday I'll be 35 weeks along. Our baby girl will be here next month!

Whitney's Wonderful Wedding

On Friday, March 2 my younger sister Whitney got married. They got married in the Manti Utah Temple. Although it was a cold day, she was in the right place at the right time doing the right thing. Here I am with Greg at their yummy wedding luncheon.



Here is Greg with some of my sisters: Cassidy and Bethany.



Classic Greg...



While participating in the wedding festivities, my sister Bethany announced that she was pregnant. That means that there are FIVE SISTERS pregnant at the same time. Pretty cool. We HAD to take a picture. I am in the front because I'm expecting my first, then my sister Ashley expecting her second, then Bethany expecting her third, Heather expecting her fourth, and then Sarah expecting her fifth. 1-2-3-4-5! Pretty cool.



This is a picture with my sisters and my mom (the bride had not arrived yet, so we're missing one sister).


Okay, so it is really cool that I am pregnant with so many sisters. Take a look at our bellies. The first belly you see is Bethany's...she due in November. Then you see Ashley due in July, then Sarah due in June, me due in May, and Heather due in April. We love showing off our large bellies!



Sisters together at last! Here I am with my sisters: Bethany, Ashley, and Heather. We're a little silly...


Another sisters picture: Ashley, Sarah, and me. Do any of us look alike?



Here I am with some of my siblings at the luncheon: Heather, Ashley, Justin, Cassidy, Bethany, and me. Looking at that salad makes me hungry...



Ashley and her daughter Cheyenne



All the bridesmaids had sashes that matched their shoes. This was no easy task...



Here we are at the reception. My parents pulled it off again! I guess my nephew Emery wanted to be in the picture too...


At the reception with Greg and Dad. It was a great time! We are so happy for Whitney and Adam and wish them the very best. Which of my three siblings will be next?



On our way back to Vegas we stopped by Grandpa and Grandma Gunderson's house (Greg's grandparents). We had some nice visits and delicious food!



Yesterday one of the Young Women in my ward got baptized along with her brother and parents. Today they were all confirmed in church. It was a special weekend. We even match!
