He has a name--it's official!

Macguire's name is now official. . . we blessed him on Sunday. It was such a nice day with family! Derek gave such a sweet blessing. . . we are so happy to have Mac! The last week has been so great because I finished my finals and have been able to sit and snuggle Mac. . . A LOT!!! Der finishes finals this week! YAY! Here's a couple pics of our little guy!

5 months--seems about the right time for me to update my blog. We've been doing great. We are both still in school (we just may be there forever!) and both working. I finally finished my clinicals which is awesome. Derek is just starting his busy work season and is still fishing.

Overall, we seem to be happy and enjoying life.

Here's a few pics from the last few months.

We were able to go to a couple of Jazz games during our time off in December. Derek is hysterical at the games and sometimes I act like I don't know him.

Derek still loves pheasant hunting and went to Colorado again last November.

The kids still love Derek. It's so funny. Bubba loves Derek to put on the helmets with him and pretend they are riding motorcycles.

I was able to go on a short trip to Washington to see the Wises. It was so much fun. We went to see Syd play in her last few b-ball games. She did good and it was great to see her finally play.

Der is now not only into fly fishing. . . Dad got him into ice fishing as well.

Der and the Girls!

Finally a pic of us together--this doesn't happen too often.

We spent some of the holidays doing humanitarian work. This is Reiss and DK putting together a hygiene kit. I even got Derek to help tie a quilt for the humanitarian center.

Yes, I am the worlds worst blogger. I'm not proud of it, but I have come to terms with it. Some are addits to blogging and then there's people like me. . .an addict of not blogging. Not sure what that would make my diagnosis. Anyways, after much encouraging from a friend at school (she even made me my new name thingy at the top that has our pic on it--Thanks Jess!), I decided to put up a few pics and update the few people that read this.

This is us, incase you forgot what we look like.

This is our real faces. Derek smiling and me mad at whatever he just did!

We spent alot of the summer with my family. Here's a pic of Dale with a few of the kids. Mom & Dad have such a fun backyard to play in.

All the kids came over to Mom and Dad's on my birthday. I blew out my candles and then we had to re-lite them for every kid there so they could blow them out aswell. They are all so cute that I just can't say no.

Der is still an avid fisherman and spends most nights tieing flies. He just got back from Idaho on a 2-day fishing trip and is going to the Green River this weekend.

We had to go to California in June to my sister Heather's house--my beautiful niece Hannah passed away. She was an amazing little girl who changed many people's lives! When you walked in the same room as Hannah, you felt something different. As one of my small primary kids said while simply looking at a picture of Hannah, "I feel like Jesus is here." She taught the gospel while here on the Earth, and now she is continuing on that teaching in a different way. We miss Hannah, but are so thankful we got a chance to meet her.

Derek is definitely the favorite Uncle in the Whimpey family. All the kids love him. He will be such a good dad someday! The kids love to steal Derek's hats (he is always wearing one). He tried telling Abbie that his hat is sacred and shouldn't be messed with. About 15 mintues later she had Derek come look at a message she wrote him on her white board. It says, "Derek, maybe when you think something is sacred, think of the temple not your hat. Your neice, Abbie"

Our life isn't that exciting lately, but we are enjoying it. We are both in school and working. I have 3 jobs that keep me running 6 days out of the week. Infact, Der said a couple of Sunday's ago that it was weird being with me for longer than 2 hours. Luckily neither of us work or study on Sunday so it's our day together. We can't wait til December when we both have some time off!
