6 WKS AND COUNTING!

Yes that's right the official count down can begin. I have six weeks till my official due date! Baby #3 will be joining our family. I have very mixed emotions. I am so glad I have gotten to a point where I am not sooo worried about her coming, and how its all going to play out. I am close enough to my due date that things would most likely be ok. Granted that nothing terrible happens. Baby is still about two wks small but perhaps she will just be a small baby... which I don't mind at all. Our lives as we know them are about to greatly change. To be honest I am terrified as what this is going to be like. Ammon is starting kindergarten and having a new baby to top that off is a little overwhelming to think about.. so I try not to think about it. Everyone keeps telling me the third one is the hardest.. I am really scared.. Caitlynn I love her to death but she was a reallly reallly really hard baby and cried alot. After I had her I thought my life was over.. little did I know it was really just begining. I am glad she grew out of it she was a much easier toddler than Ammon ever was. As for nesting... well I am not. I have done nothing to get ready for this baby, I haven't gotten out the clothes or put up the crib.. for heaven sake I still need to buy a car seat for this baby, oh and not to mention still haven't picked a name. In the mean time I know I should be doing a few things to get ready but I guess in some ways it still just hasn't hit me that I am having another baby. I think between battling morning sickness( which yes I still have at least two days a wk) and exhaustion, and two other small children I just am not ready. That probably sounds weird as much as I would like my life to go back to normal.. I know the minute she is out normal will go out the window. Soooo in the meantime, I will just think about getting ready to have her and call it good at that. Perhaps if I think about it long enough I will do something about it. haha!

Fourth of July!

Well the fourth of July went by wwaaaayyyy to fast. I was in utter exhaustion and forgot to take some decent pictures. Sorry :( There is always next year! HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY ANYHOW!

Saturday night firework were at our house with all of my family over. It was fun but I was exhausted after ward. Sunday was pretty mello which I was really grateful for a day of rest! Monday we then spent with Aaron's fam, and our good neighbors the Crump's. We bbq'd and it was lots of fun!

In the mean time I do have some pics from the weekend before. My dad recently got called to be a bishop in his ward and while the family was all together we took some fun pictures. The other exciting thing happening was we got a new little nephew.. Eli. Congrats to Justin and Natalie on their first baby!

My little sister Claire also got a new puppy whose name is Maxwell the kids love to play with him and get them to chase him. It's pretty cute to watch!

Summer time goodness!

I married such a good lookin man! This is at Saratoga Splash days.. They were flying kites!
Saratoga Splash days! The kids got to inspect the fire truck and try on the firemans' hat!

Tried getting some good pics of Ammon in our yard.. He said there were just too many bee's and wouldn't give me any good faces.. oh well maybe next yr.

My dad and I!

Grandpa and Cait!

Megan is eating again!

The kids and Megan took some pretty good pics this day!

All in all its been a busy yet fun summer. We mostly are just sticking to home but enjoying our yard and house and family that lives close by since I can't really go do to much till I have this baby!

Hope you are all having a great summer too!

Dez Graduates!

Dez is my neice. I cant believe she is getting soooo old! Just kidding! Life for her is finally about to begin! Lucky girl... now we just need to find her a good looking, hard working wealthy guy and get her marrried off! lol! Anyhow, in case you are wondering yes my brother's graduation and her graduation were the same day just different times.. It was a fun yet exhausting day!

Colin's Graduation!

Colin is my youngest brother and he graduated from West Lake High school. As soon as he gets off on his mission there will only be one left child at home... well unless Megan decides to live with my parents till she gets married someday... haha! Anyhow, this is the first graduation that one of my siblings aren't missing due to missions and so forth. So it was a long day but it was alot of fun!

A day late and a dollar short.. oh well..

I know that I am about a month behind on posting here.. but please bare with me... somedays it is just a struggle to get out of bed in the morning. Baby and I are doing fairly well for the most part. I still have morning sickness at least 2 days a wk. But I am almost done and the light at the end of the tunnel is getting brighter! Baby girl is still measuring small, but is doing fine. Blood clot is still there but not causing to much havoc.. yet anyway... Things have just been super busy for us since school let out and summer began... Well anyhow I think I will let the pictures speak for themselves. Hope all is well with everyone!

Small update!

So had a Dr appt. last friday, everything is still pretty much the same baby is measuring about 12 days small now and is only about a pound and a half, and about the 24th percentile. Which the dr said they like them to be closer to the 50 percentile by this stage. We are hoping she will grow enough and that things will turn out just fine. I got the run around big time on friday and ended up spending wayyyyyyyyy to long at the hospital for all my other tests that they had me do. But all in all things turned out ok I was just really worn out by the time the day was over. I now get to see the perinatologist every three wks in stead of evey four weeks. I am now almost 28 wks so only about three months left hurray!!
ps.. any name suggestions.. we still have yet to pick out a name for her!

Cait and Bridger

Caitlynn has a new best friend! They play together so well and are sooo cute.. Bridger is a neighbor boy who lives in the neighborhood right behind us. They love playing together! I just couldn't pass up the chance to post such a cute pic. This was from the other night when Bridger had to go home so Cait could go to bed.

Charlie

Our puppy is I believe like 6 and half months old now and I finally got a pic of him! lol! Him and Ammon are such good pals Charlie sticks to him so well and then when they get tired the Ammon and him lay under the trampoline to cool off.. its soo cute! Someday I will sneak a picture of it!

26 wks pregnant!

Oh joy! I am finally getting a belly! Need I say more..

Our Family Fun!

Ammon is a pretty good gymnast!

Cait posed like this all by herself! So cute!

Here are a few pics that I have taken with my new camera! I know I know I am obssesed! I can't help it I have been on bed rest and am happy to just be limiting myself. But also it's so fun to play with my new camera!

Spring has sprung!

Ok even though this weather has been craptastic! On the few good days I have been able to go take some fun pics with my new camera around my yard.. oh how I am enjoying this new camera of mine! The ones of Cait were taken over Mother's day weekend at my mother in law's house in Mona! Ammon wouldn't let me take any of him though he was afraid of the bees!
