Here is a Small Scoop

Hi Everyone!
Here is a small scoop of what we have been up to. During April we were extrememly busy fixing our apartment, packing, packing, working, doing church callings, packing, playing in the sun/snow/whatever else happened outside, and got ready for a trip to Mark's mission. We really didn't have a house to live in for a week before we left for our trip but luckily Mark's mom let us stay with her. Thanks again Grandma! We also found out that our new little one will be a girl! We are so excited and no, we don't have a name picked out yet. She is getting bigger by the day it feels like. September 15 is coming faster than I thought it would.
We loved our trip to Germany! We were there for just over two weeks. Spencer loved the food, did great on the flights, and loved his Oma! It rained almost everyday we were there but it made everything such a great green! Not the dark green of Utah. A bright minty green.

When we got home we moved back out to our house only this time we are in the basement. We are still working on getting everything exactly where we want it but the pile of boxes is gone so I finally feel at home. Spencer loves being close to so many family and friends there. I have enjoyed having a yard again. Mark is enjoying working on landscaping/gardening. Our fruit trees are doing really good so we are excited about that.
Our church callings are still keeping us super duper busy. In April I had the chance to go to the temple with the Young Women. It was wonderful! Girls Camp is at the end of the month so I am frantically getting ready for that. Elder's Quorum is having an activity this Saturday so Mark is preparing for that and trying to keep all of the elder callings full.
Work has been slow and crazy at the same time. I sold my biggest order ever last week! Mark is working on another big cabin this week so we feel like we are so blessed to still have good jobs coming in.
Spencer is growing up so fast! A couple of weeks ago he came to me and counted to 10 all by himself! I hadn't even really worked on numbers with him so I was shocked! His favorite movie right now is Dumbo and he loves marching band music. He has gone to nursery twice without any problems so we are hoping this trend continues.
Well, that is a small scoop. I promise more pictures and to be better about posting.
