Many exciting things have happened to us lately. Platte got an offer to work at the University of Utah's Office of General Counsel (which he accepted). Because of this, we are officially moving back to Utah after Platte's graduation in May. But the most exciting thing is that our little family of three is about to get bigger. Heather is due October 2nd! We are thrilled!
Most of the pictures below are from our Spring Break trip to Utah. The original reason for our trip was so that we could run the races in Moab with my family. Platte ran the half marathon with my brother Adam and my Dad. I was supposed to run the 5-Mile race with my Mom and Adam's fiancee, Kristina, but due to Baby #2 I didn't run (unfortunately I've been A LOT more sick this go around than with Belle). My sister-in-law Andrea stepped right in though and ran the race as "Heather Nielson from Mesa, Arizona," at least that is what they announced when she crossed the finish line. :)
Another highlight of our trip was watching my little sister Amanda perform in her high school musical, Cats. As always, I loved the show. Platte even enjoyed it.
We had so much fun spending time with family and watching Belle and Olivia learn how to play with each other. Although they had a hard time figuring out how to play together, I think they had a good time overall. Their playtime definitely made for some good laughs!

My Easter Babe. My sister Whitney made her this adorable dress!

Seeing Grandma and Grandpa for the first time in a while.

It was so funny watching Belle and Olivia play together. Belle is a bit bigger and would just sit in the car and read. Olivia wanted to play in the car too and would climb all over Belle. After quite a few tears, they ended up playing well together. So cute!

Daniel is already teaching the girls how to play the organ.
