It's a GIRL!!!!

Well, the big day came last week and we found out what the gender of our little baby will be. We're having a Girl! I'm so incredibly excited! I would have been happy with a boy too, but a girl is so much fun to dress up and make cute and buy little dolls for. It will sure be a fun experience to welcome her into our lives. It's been nice to have a gender on our baby too instead of just calling it "it". Haha, now we have to start looking for names though, and that will be a task. I mean, she'll have to live with it for the rest of her life! But I'm sure we'll find that perfect name someday. Here are some pictures of, obviously, the cutest girl ever! (I just hope it's not somehow a boy and I'm offending him by calling him cute...if it is, he'll just have to get over it because for now, he's a she).

New Year's Cabin Trip

This last weekend Trevor and I spent the weekend at Trevor's Uncle's cabin up in the Uintas. It was an incredibly relaxing and fun trip. We left Wednesday afternoon with Trevor's Dad and snowmobiled into a chilly cabin. It was about 14 degrees inside the cabin when we got there and 15 degrees outside. Brrrr! We got right to starting a fire, turned on the electricity and started the electric heaters. There is no running water there in the winter so Trevor and Dad Hatch went to the natural spring about 500 ft from the cabin and filled up 5 gallon jugs for water. No running water also means no toilet :(.....so yes, we were confined to using the outhouse. Luckily because of the cold temperatures the outhouse doesn't stink quite as bad in the winter. After a few hours, the cabin warmed up and thanks to Mom Hatch who came up the next day, stayed a comfortable 75 degrees or so for the rest of the week. On Thursday we were joined by Dan and Suzanne and little Kaden and Mom Hatch. We spent the rest of the weekend playing Hand and Foot, snowmobiling in the meadow, reading books, eating delicious food, and taking long afternoon naps. We were all very sad to leave Saturday afternoon and as always, can't wait for our next trip. Here are some pictures of the trip:
