She is one of my favorite artists, and her concert definitely did not disappoint. You always wonder how people would be live, but she was amazing. It was very entertaining, and she sounds basically the same live. Thanks for taking me Sean!

Welp, it looks like you were mostly wrong!!!
It's a boy!!! I'm so excited to have one of each! We're going to name him Logan Sean Evans. Would you believe that Sean did NOT want to use his name for Logan's middle name? He's a silly boy! I am seirously so excited to do the "boy thing" now. A tad nervous as well...but over all just super super SUPER excited!
We get to have another ultrasound in 4 weeks, because Logan wouldn't let us see his brain, heart, or bladder! He just kept showing us his "goods" if you will. The first thing we saw when the Dr. put the thingy on my belly was his little pee pee! After that, that's basically all we saw. We didn't even get a good look at his face because he kept covering it with his hands! So we'll let him get a little bigger and hopefully we'll get a better view of all those other vital parts he didn't seem to think were important! Everytime the Dr would move the thingy (what on earth is that thingy really called? Anyone?) to get a different view, Logan would reposition himself and then spread his legs! I think he is proud he's a boy!
Sean will probably be absolutely mortified that I'm sharing this on our blog, but hey at least it's private right??!!!?? Anyways, when we got out to the car the first thing Sean said to me was, "well, I guess I've got good 'juice' cause I can make both kinds!" SO FUNNY!
Of course my blood pressure had spiked again...this is actually the same time it got high with Mara too. So I'm starting the process again of many 24 hour urine collections and lots of labs! Yeehaw...I just LOVE being tied to my house just incase I've got to pee. TMI, I know. But it is seriously the weirdest/grossest thing ever! I don't know about all you other ladies out there but I pee A LOT especially when I'm pregnant, and especially during the night. It's so hard to be awake enough to make sure I do it right! So I have to flip on all the lights, do my business and by the time I'm done taking care of everything I'm wide awake. Then I lay in bed for 20 minutes trying to fall back asleep all to just get up in another 30 minutes to do it all again. Oh well, I'll do whatever I have to to give him the best chance at being healthy!
I feel SO blessed to have this little boy growing inside me. I feel so lucky that Heavenly Father has given us these little spirits to take care of! I am so grateful to be a Mommy! Being a mom is honestly the best thing I've ever done for myself...and they say motherhood is the LEAST selfish thing you'll ever do! Well, I definitely feel selfish! As Mara is growing up more and I tell her scripture stories and say prayers with her my tesitmony grows more and more. I feel like a better person everyday, and believe it or not my body image has gotten a MILLION times better since having Mara. Even though I've gained weight, I feel so lucky that my body is capable of doing such a miraculous thing. I will not take that for granted ever!
Here we go! Over half way there!

Did you know?
That I have the best husband in the world? No joke. He wakes up at 5:30am to go the gym even though he doesn't have to be to work until 2:00pm, just so he can spend more time with us!
That I get to go to the Taylor Swift concert TONIGHT?!?!?!
That we find out the sex of our baby one week from today?
That I've never in my life been this happy?
Wow, what a good day!

Lessons from the Old Testament
Sean has recently started studying the Old Testament while he is at work in the control room with nothing to do for four hours every night! He came across this quotation in the Old Testament Student Manual. I thought I'd share it with all of you because I think it is so cool! It also gave me hope that we are going about this life the best way possible, even though it's really hard sometimes, and I question our decision to have another child at times, I KNOW we are following the Lord's council and will be blessed for it. Anyways, enjoy!!
(2-14) Genesis 1:28. “Be Fruitful and Multiply” Knowing that the primary work of God is “to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man” (Moses 1:39) and knowing that without a physical body man could not have a fulness of joy (see D&C
93:33–35) and knowing that coming to earth to prove oneself is a prerequisite to eternal progression (see Abraham 3:25), one could safely say that bringing children into the world is one of the high priorities in the Lord’s plan.
President Spencer W. Kimball spoke of the importance of having children:
“The first commandment recorded seems to have been ‘Multiply and replenish the earth.’ Let no one ever think that the command came to have children without marriage. No such suggestion could ever have foundation. . . .
“I have told many groups of young people that they should not postpone their marriage until they have acquired all of their education ambitions. I have told tens of thousands of young folks that when they marry they should not wait for children until they have finished their schooling and financial desires. Marriage is basically for the family, and when people have found their proper companions there should be no long delay. They should live together normally and let the children come.
“There seems to be a growing feeling that marriage is for legal sex, for sex’s sake. Marriage is basically for the family; that is why we marry—not for the satisfaction of the sex, as the world around us would have us believe. When people have found their companions, there should be no long delay. Young wives should be occupied in bearing and rearing their children. I know of no scriptures where an authorization is given to young wives to withhold their families and to go to work to put their husbands through school. There are thousands of husbands who have worked their own way through school and have reared families at the same time. Though it is more
difficult, young people can make their way through their educational programs.” (“Marriage is Honorable,” in Speeches of the Year, 1973, pp. 262–63.)

Canyon Hike
We decided to go on a hike last Saturday. So we went and bought a cheap little carrier for Mara packed up some snacks and the dog, and off we went. On the ride up Mara kept making silly faces. This is one of my favorites:
Mara loves Babe, Sean's childhood dog. We were constantly having to yell at Babe to come back so Mara learned to yell "Bob!" It was pretty funny. Here's babe playing in the water. I seriously love this dog.
We decided to bring along Uncle Will. He's a friend of ours that Sean has known since Grade School and I've known since High School. It's fun having him around again now that he's out of the Marines! Thanks for coming Willy!
When we were done with our little hike we let Mara on the ground to play in the dirt. She kept trying to eat the rocks. When she wasn't eating them, she was throwing them. I sense a long summer of trying to teach Mara proper rock etiquette.
This is what I got to see the entire Hike. My cute hubster and darling stinker poo! It really was a fun day, even though my fat pregnant behind sometimes had a hard time keeping up!!!

Sean's Favorite Playoff Moments
So how about I explain this. Number one and number two. Obviously it had to be the only two Jazz plays on NBA.com's top play widget. As for the other three, Jordan was great, but since he beat us twice in the playoffs, it's nice to see him lose a game cuz he got the ball stolen from him. I hate the Lakers, so being reminded of Kobe and the Laker's thrashing last season is always nice, and I'm also not a huge fan of the Celtics, so how about that King James?
Splish Splash
Mara decided to join her cousins in the bathtub today. It was pretty funny. She had a blast but I don't think Kayden and Maddux liked it very much...so I don't know how often that'll happen in the future. But it sure was cute to watch!
