.but 2012 sure treated us good.

.april- b celebrated her first easter. she also turned 1. we moved from our VERY FIRST apartment t utah for 6 weeks. we attended MANY byu baseball games, and b found her love for hot dogs (you have to have a hot dog at a ball game). b also got to play with her cousin lily.

.may- we moved to texas. it was a long 22 hours, but we did it. we decided to fork out the moo-la and stay in a hotel that was SOOOO nice and served breakfast and dinner. andrew started working as an intern at USAA.we also found out that we were really having a BOY! (i was 34 weeks).

.june- andrew continued working as an intern at USAA. we went out every weekend to somewhere new....seaworld, splashtown, the beach. i even got myself into a stinking bathing suit (not pretty at 35+ weeks).
