Of course we had lots of food, as usually for a family party and I made mini raspberry buttermilk pie tarts. They turned out pretty good for my first time making them. Family parties are always a good excuse for me to try out new recipes.

Grandma's 90th Birthday!
This past Saturday we celebrated Adam's grandma's 90th birthday! We had a huge party at Adam's parents' house with the entire Fowler family. Tons of family were there, including a few cousins that I had never met before.

Grandma Fowler is an awesome lady. She is in great health and completely active. You would never guess that she is 90. She is a great example to us of joy and strength and we are lucky to have her in our lives.
We had the chance to take a few family pictures during the party, so it was a good time for me to document the slightly growing baby bump.

Happy Easter...and Baby!
Adam and I have some exciting news.... We are having our first baby!
I am 13 weeks along and the baby is due October 11. The doctor thinks it would be pretty cool to have the baby on 10/10/10, but I have a feeling that it may be coming on my birthday 10/16. Either way it will be an awesome birthday present.
About two weeks ago we were able to hear the heart beat, which was really cool and made things feel much more real. We find out what it is at the end of May and will keep everyone posted. I think that Adam is secretly hoping for a boy and I am secretly hoping for a girl (surprise surprise)...but we will be completely happy either way.
Overall, I am feeling pretty good and have been lucky that I haven't had any morning sickness with my busy internship schedule. I do wish that I had a little more time to sleep, but I think I will survive for two more months of internship.
As far as other things in life...we are having a great/relaxing Easter. It seems that the Easter Bunny came to our house last night and left us lots of candy that we have been stuffing ourselves with.
Even though it is just the two of us, we still do some fun traditions. On Saturday night, we colored Easter eggs and even made eggs for Ellie and baby boy/baby girl. On Easter morning, we woke up, ate some candy (of course) and had our Easter egg bunting competition. Needless to say...I won. Then we made a huge breakfast with waffles, bacon, and eggs and relaxed while we watched conference. Later today we will go to Adam's parents for a big Easter dinner.
Hope everyone else is having a great Easter!
