We like ducks!

This past week we had an entire loaf of bread that went moldy. That will teach us to buy bread on a really good sale again...probably means it is way old so they have to get rid of it before the mold starts forming. Anyway, we decided to go feed it to the ducks. We figured with all of the gross things that they swim in and eat in their ponds that a little mold wouldn't hurt them. So we went to Layton Park and fed the ducks, geese, and swans. It was great! Especially since it was raining, there weren't very many people around.
I loved all the little baby ducklings. I wanted to take them home with us.

I'm pretty sure these were Trumpeter swans. They made the coolest noise that sounded just like a trumpet.




These were Cam's favorite. He likes the geese, mainly just because he would like to hunt them. He would walk slowly behind them and see just how close he could get before the parent geese would start hissing at him.

We liked this spot at the park. It reminded us of Alaska with all the rain and the stream running behind us.

Cam hand feeding the goslings. I was grateful he didn't try to pick any of them up like last time we were at the park.
Also I want to update you a little bit on what is going on in our lives. I am now 13 weeks pregnant and finally feeling life is semi normal again. I am no longer sick every minute of the day and can actually cook dinner, do laundry, and stuff like that. I have about 3 more weeks or so before I should be able to start feeling the baby move. That makes me excited! We went to the doctor on the 28th of last month and were able to hear the heartbeat. It was fun to see how excited Camarron got when he saw and heard the heart. He jumped right off his chair and got really close to the monitor. He said, "That's really the baby?" It's been a really long time since I have seen a smile that big on my husbands face. School is going well. I finally feel like I am getting a handle on my nutrition class. Any of you out there who have taken this class probably know what I am talking about. This is by far one of the most difficult classes I have ever taken. Who knew? I am grateful that it is over in about 2 more weeks. The 1st block of the summer semester ends on the 26th of June and that means I am finished with Nutrition and my Intro to Creative Arts class. (No I didn't choose to take this one, I have to in order to finish my degree at Weber. Luckily since I have taken a class like this several times already, this one is a breeze.) Once the 2nd block begins I will pick up an American government class and continue on with my health and zoology classes. Everything finishes up the end of August.
Camarron is doing great! He loves his job and couldn't be happier that he gets to work on the flight line that he dreamed about working on less than one year ago. It is amazing how things turn out sometimes isn't it. He is preparing for his first deployment the beginning of this upcoming January. We are pretty sure he is going to Afghanistan and will be gone for about 6 months. I am now beginning to understand part of the reason behind the Lord sending us right back to Utah. Our baby is due the end of December and will be one or two weeks old (if we are lucky) before Cam gets deployed. I am grateful that I am so close to family and friends that can help me and support me in this next step in our lives.
