Cat's out of the bag!

..I was getting pretty anxious to tell our friends and family that we were pregnant but so determined to wait until at least 12 weeks to spill the beans. I knew that it would be best to be able to be more confident that this pregnancy would 'stick' and there was something so specail about sharing a secrect with my Ty that was so important and exciting.

From the moment I found out I was pregnant, I was trying to think of a creative way to suprise everyone with our big news. I knew exactly what I wanted to do to tell the Smith parents only.

I was going to have an announcment put in the Garden Creek ward's bulletin reading "Congratulations to Craig and Sandra Smith on their next grandchild due 03.14.11"....and then just wait for them to figure it out. It was brilliant! Of coarse as murphy's law would have it, it didn't work out that way. We found out that the Garden Creek ward hadn't had a bulletin in 7 months! So Plan be it was! We sent a fortune cookie with a fortune inside that read, "guess who's barefoot and..." They got it right away:)

For the Dorff side of the family, I told them that I needed to take a family photo for a class and asked if they could help me out. I got them all set up outside and took a couple of test shots asking them to say 'cheese'. Then, I told them to say....'Audrey's pregnant!' and snapped the shot! It was great!



Now, the only family left to tell were the Smith siblings. We sent this email and sat back and waited for the response!
