My first

And I have to say that I am hopelessly addicted to these darling albums, and Monica is so stinkin excited she keeps lookin and lookin!! Anyway this is about the sum of my accomplishment so far for the summer, I know its not much but it was a ton of fun!! I am going to work on a flower shaped one for Merissa.

So we are off to Carson city in the morning. Randy got a job up there so we are making it a kind of a working vacation, I think we will go into Reno try to hit the mall and start the kids school clothes shopping since we go back to school August 12th and I want to get ti started at least before Makenna gets here!! so if anyone knows of a good Local scrapbook store I need to visit let me know, we are also planning on going to Lake Tahoe and who knows what else, I know that we don't have a ton of time and Randy does have to work some days and we are coming back on Sunday. Michale leaves for girls camp on Tuesday or we would have stayed longer.

I'm feeling great, very hot and starting to have contractions, I am definitely starting to thin out, its getting so close now, I am so excited to meet our little girl!!

I have.................

Been feeling so insecure about the sex of this baby, I really felt from the beginning that this was our little girl, then my wonderful friends through me a baby shower because I had nothing for a girl, all my girl stuff I sold when we moved to Hawaii, so really we had nothing! Anyway, we had our first ultra sound and they said yep its a girl so I was good Its a girl!! Yay well you know how doubt starts creeping in so right before the shower I wanted to go have another ultra sound, but I never did. So I got some really cute stuff, but it has sat in her dresser hangers and tags and all!! I wouldn't take any of it off, so last week I said this is crazy I'm going to one of those little places and just going to peek one more time, I have really been feeling like I needed to get her stuff washed and see what I still need. So I went and the first this she says to me is well surprise mom..........................................................................................................................................................

Yep, its definitely a GIRL!!! Yay, OK so now we can look and see how cute this baby is, well I don't know if you can tell on these pics but they are the 3D kind so very cool, in the first one off to the right is a profile of her face, the second is her hand covering her face over to the right side again, in the last its still over to the right but more kitty corner and her nose is kinda resting on her hand, which by the way she kept that arm up by her face the whole time!! So we got us a little girl and I'm so excited to meet her, not much longer, 6 weeks!!

Look who's 2!!!

Yep, another birthday! Hey when you have so many kids your constantly having a birthday, although we are going to go through a dry spell now until baby comes and then until October when its Monica's! Anyway, the poor little guy I don't think really knew what to think because everyone kept singing to him all day and he would just look at you like, what is your deal!! Then by the end of the day he was saying two, two!!! Then watching him with his cake oh it was priceless the kids kept saying

blow, blow, then he would just make a quick little blow, it was so dang cute!!

We did another camping trip the weekend of the 30Th 31st and the 1st of June, it was so nice out, the weather was perfect, warm during the day and then cool at night. I'm really hoping to get at least one more trip in before the baby comes, but it is definitely getting harder, the further along I am getting!

YAY!!!!!!

Schools out!!! I am so excited, my kids got out Friday. But I guess today would be there first official day of summer!! I just love having my kids home, I love playing with them, and oh am I feeling like I really need them all to know how much I love them and how special each and everyone of them are to me before the baby comes!!

So I'm going to back up a couple of days and tell you my sweet darling Michale went on her first "date" a Senior boy named Jeff asked her to the cheapskate dance, she was very excited and I was alot nervous, the poor kid I grilled him when he got here, and made sure he new that I had a very special girl here and I wanted her returned the same way I sent her, Randy just said Honor your priesthood and you'll having nothing to worry about!! Of course I still worried!!!

Friday as soon as the kids got out of school we were almost all packed and ready to go on our first camping trip, we went to Enterprise and ended up staying in the camp ground which drives Randy nuts but it was so rainy that if we tried to go any where else it was like a big mud pit!! But every time the sun came out we jumped on the 4-wheelers and motorcycles and rode till we where either frozen or it started to rain again, we saw some beautiful country!! I think we might head back up that way again this weekend we saw a great camp site that will be awesome and then we will be able to see a little more since its supposed to be dry this weekend!!

Wonderful life

It all started Thursday, with Jayden and our Mother's day tea party, he was so stinkin cute, he was telling me for weeks that I was going to cry at his tea party, and I would ask him why and sometimes he would say you will see, and sometimes he would say because we sing you a song that is just so darn sweet!!

So then we get there and he comes in and is singing to me, and all the while he is wiggling his eyebrows up and down at me, I was have a hard time squeezing out a tear in between my giggles. Then we go into the class room and spread out our blanket, and he gets to serve me some snacks, he kept saying do like it? I LOVED it my boy!!

Next was Kindergarten graduation, Monica was so stinkin cute, she was a little hard to see on the back row, but her little class was just awesome, they were just singin and singin. Then we went to class and she got her diploma, she has just adored her teacher this year, if we have had more then a weekend off of school she would start complaining about how much she misses her teacher, and when is she going back to school because she just really cant stand one more day without her!!

I feel so blessed, I have the most amazing family and friends!! On Saturday my awesome friends had a baby shower for me, it was so fun opening so many pink little packages. But the best part was all of my wonderful friends and family that came to celebrate this day with me. Thank you I love you all and feel very blessed to have you all a part of my life!!

Since Monica is almost seven and we had moved to Hawaii after she was little we didn't save anything, so I literally had nothing for a girl, and now I'm well on my way!! Thank you I love you!!

Jayden is heartbroken

When we went out side yesterday morning, Jayden kept saying to me, the birds nest looks crazy mommy, so I took him over and we looked and they are gone, I think mama bird moved them, at least that's what I want to believe. They did over flow the nest, they were resting their heads on the outside of the nest because they were so squished in there, so I just want to believe that she moved them!! Jayden wants to know what tree they are in now? Its so cute, he just loves those birds and cant stop talking about them!!

Today is the first day of my 3rd trimester, wow it just seems so crazy, it is going so fast. I am starting to have a hard time with my hips and back, by the end of the day its hurting so bad!! Then I go to bed and end up getting up because my hips hurt so bad that I just cant lay there anymore. Don't think I'm not grateful for this sweet little baby I am! I'm just complaining that I hurt!! I am so excited to meet this sweet little one, but on the other hand I want her to stay in there, because she is the last one I will feel, and I know I will miss it, and I know once she's here she will grow so fast, it will probably be like a time warp and I ll be one of those mom's with a bunch of crazy teenagers!! So for now I'm good with where she is, I love her with all my heart but I want to enjoy every last second of every kick and hiccup, or whatever she is doing in there!! I love you my sweet baby!!

I can't believe...........

the change in the birds in just 1 week, it is just amazing to me. Now I am afraid they have outgrown their nest and they will leave us soon. My kids love having these sweet little babies in our yard and ask a dozen times a day to look in the nest!!

Here is my sweet little Monica and her new do!! She donated her hair to locks of love!! She has been so excited about her hair and just loves to flaunt it around. I think she looks absolutely adorable!! She was so excited for her teacher to see it on Monday she could hardly wait she wondered and wondered if she would recognize her!! So cute!!
