here are some pics:
nova gave her first talk in church today: sidenote: i am so proud of her. she has been so excited to do it. she practiced all week and drew pictures and colored pictures to hold up as she gave her talk. she practically wrote the whole thing and she did so awesome. i love that she is so brave. here is a copy of her talk. i will post a video of her doing it at home.
Heavenly Father and Jesus have asked us to pay our tithing.
Tithing is a good thing to do.
When we get money we pay 10% to Heavenly Father
We put our tithing in an envelope and give it to the Bishop.
I feel happy when I do that.
There once was a girl named Nova.
She did a job for her mom.
Her mom gave her 10 coins.
Nova counted 1 coin and put it in an envelope.
On Sunday she gave it to the Bishop.
Nova felt happy.
Heavenly Father felt happy.
Satan wasn't happy.
Nova's tithing will help temples and churches be built.
Tithing is a good thing to do.
we switched it up a little---but she was assigned the topic of tithing, and so we talked to her about it and asked her to teach us back and that is what she came up with, with a little bit of prompting from us. but we asked her to tell a story about someone who payed their tithing and that was the story that she came up with. (my favorite part is the satan line---we took that out though...)
i can't believe how fast the last couple months have gone. and its just going to stay crazy i think. just pray that among the crazy-ness we can come up with a name for our little guy before he gets here. AH!

We miss you guys already! We loved having you visit. Jaycie keeps asking when she gets to play with Nova again. Glad you have been busy! It will make the last weeks of your pregnancy go by fast!!
Loved the update with the pix! And I loved Nova's talk (but you should have left the Satan line in ... awesome!). Love and miss you an infinity's worth of tiger's blood snowcones!
Too bad about the lay-over! Glad we got to see you though! Good luck with a name and hope that it stays cool for you down there these next couple of months!
What a cute and fun update. Your little Nova is so cute and you're right, she IS so brave. What a doll. :) That talk was awesome! I can't wait to see a video of it, I'm sure she did great. Isn't it amazing what they can come up with on their own? They're such good kids.
Take care and rest up before little man comes! I keep meaning to ask you about his name, so now I know ... the debate is still going, eh? It's tough!
It was so fun to have you here. And we miss you! Cute, cute pictures and such a sweet talk - can't wait to see the video.
I am so glad that you were able to get home. Our summer trips home are talked about all year long. It was sad I guess we missed you guys by one week. Stink :( Your little guy will be here so soon, can't wait to hear about the excitement.
Hey, I got sweet thank-you note when we got back from vacation. That was really nice of you.
It's always fun to see what you're up to. Thanks for the blog update. It won't be too long until we can see some pictures of baby boy Hope!
