Baby #2 !!!

Due date: November 5th!

14 weeks pregnant and couldn't be more excited!

Once again Jensa beat me to it, but only this time she's 7 weeks ahead of me! But it's still fun to share pregnancy with your sister! *now you'll have to scroll thru my last blog pics and see if you can notice our (ever so early showing) baby bumps ;)

Utah Trip- BYU graduation

I made a last minute trip up to see my little brother Nathan graduate from BYU. Lane was kind enough to once again watch Danelle (from thurs. to monday) while I was gone!

Afterwards we went down to the Springville Museum of Art where my great-great grandfather John Hafen, has an entire room dedicated entirely to all his artwork. He's done some really beautiful paintings as well as murals.

Spring is HERE!

Signs we're enjoying (Easter) and our nice weather:

Swinging with dad.


Easter egg hunts.

Playing at the park.
Lounging in the hammock with the dog. ( ?)

Japan (part 2)

I had to include some random Japan pictures too.

At the park saw a couple of these things: (playpen/strollers?) and yes about 10% of the population wears masks.

Hey little sisters... you could totally live in Japan....

The museum we went to on a rainy day:

Lane was VERY excited to get to see an original Picasso painting:

Hmmm. These would be dental tools. For sale. Out on the street. Thank goodness for our "American teeth".

Tokyo, Japan

Lane and I were very fortunate to get the opportunity to travel to Japan for a week. We spent time in Tokyo, Yokohama, Yokosuka, and Kamakura. We did a lot, and therefore have a ton of pictures, so I will do my best to condense the pictures and summarize!

Typical Meal:
Tokyo: Like NYC but cleaner and nicer. LOTS of fancy stores. Everyone is very well dressed!

Eating Tempura in Tokyo:

Tokyo Tower (much like the Eifel Tower):

Sushi for Breakfast:

Sensoji Temple:

Shopping:

Entrance to one of the shrines:

Watched a preformance here (Kabuki-za theatre): like an opera, by Japenese.

Imperial Palace (where Royal family lives):

The Great Buddha: Kamakura, Japan

Tsukiji Fish Market: Worlds Largest.

Cherry Blossoms: we were lucky to be there during the start of spring!

Beautiful Gardens!

Another Buddha: (the two religions in Japan are Buddhism and Shinto)

Walking thru a bamboo forest:

I may do one more post with a couple other cool Japan pics but I know this is a lot for those other than family! Basically it was an awesome trip and the most culture i've ever experienced!!
