A Big Announcement!!!

So, Levi and I tried to keep it a secret, but some of our closest friends and family already know that....


We have been expecting for quite some time now...


We would like to introduce our new "little" addition (although he won't be little for long!)


Meet Malone :)
That's short for...

Karl "The Mailman" Malone Freckleton


We are sooooo excited!

Nice Surprises

For the most part, our lives our pretty routine. We get up, go to work, come home. Now that we have the house, we are definitely busier than we used to be. It's not boring in the least, and I am certainly not complaining! However, every once in a while, something comes along that throws us off, just a tad. Sometimes they are big surprises, sometimes it's the little ones that make big impacts. 
I am a big fan of small gestures, and Levi knows it. Levi and I have created a tradition that we cook breakfast for one another on our birthdays. My birthday last week was on a weekday, and those start early for us. We are up by 5:30 and I'm out the door by 6:20 to catch the train. I was not surprised to find no breakfast for me that morning. I didn't give it much more thought after that, so I was completely thrown off to find breakfast waiting for me on Sunday morning (a whole 5 days after my birthday!) Levi has been getting really into cooking, and it is paying off for me big time! Check out what he made for me:
French toast (Levi style) with bananas and pecans. Yum!
Thanks Levi once again for being such a thoughtful guy!

Another, rather bigger, surprise has come up in the past few months. We found out that we have another member of our family, which did catch us off guard a little bit. But what started off as a surprise has really turned into a blessing. Her name is Megan, she is 16 years old, and she lives in St. George. We have had the great privilege to spend some time with her and get to know her a little bit. She is such a sweet and cute girl, and we look forward to getting know her better!
