Sharing the News

Kimball and I have been scheming for the past couple months about how we wanted to share our good news with our families. My family does an annual snowmobiling trip every winter and knew that we'd be flying in for it. Please excuse my irreverence in the following video but seriously my mom's face was just too priceless.

Kimball's family had no idea we were in town so Sunday morning we snuck up to Idaho and skyped them from their next-door neighbor's living room. I think the triple effect of BAM, we're in town and BAM, we're pregnant and BAM we're going to be here to have the baby BAM BAM BAM was a little overwhelming. Courtney didn't cry as hard as I was hoping for but the tears they lacked were made up for in high-pitched squeals :)

So Monday afternoon we had lunch with the Burton aunts and uncles and then headed back to Farmington where we met up with Whitney and Matt at a gas station in Kaysville. The original plan was to catch them at Matt's in Bountiful and hopefully get to watch the Bachelor with them but poor planning on my part had us spoiling the surprise to Matt and getting him to pull over on their way back home to Logan. We faked a letter from ABC saying that Kimball and 3 guests had won a trip to L.A to take a tour of the Bachelor mansion. Yeah, we got a little carried away but it was so worth it.

Right after the gas station attack, we had dinner with my mom and headed to Salt Lake where conveniently Mandi, Sarah and Tanner were watching the Jazz game at Mandi's boyfriend's house. We did a quick in and out, showed some ultrasounds, and a few belly rubs for the belly that isn't really there yet and then we headed on our way to the airport.Unfortunately I forgot to pull my camera out until the last second for this surprise but it was a great way to top off an incredible weekend.
