My sister has this blog on her blog and told people to go read it for this lady's incredible testimony. It took me a couple days before I could go on it and look, thanks to the baby blues I didn't want to cry even more. Now that I am doing better I went on and it is amazing. This lady lost her 16 month old *I think that was the age* due to a drowning accident in their hot tub. Her testimony and faith from what she has experienced is therapeutic to her as she writes it down on her blog. Anyways you never know when someone you love is in a need for an uplifting message or maybe you know someone who just lost a child and needs support.

Until I get the slideshow working...

Finally I am able to get to this! On Thursday 08/07 I called the hospital and they told me I had been knocked off the list to be induced because I wasn't medically induced just elective. I told her it was supposed to be medically and that I could call my dr. to call them. I told her what my problems were and she said that would put me back at the top of the list, in front of 5 people who were put in front of me. She told me to call in the morning. On Friday 08/08 I called at six in the morning and she said so many people came in during the night and all the rooms were booked. When I realized the date I knew so many people were going to try to have their babies that day. I didn't care about the date I was just ready! lol. Around noon my parents got to my house to babysit I started feeling like I was going into labor on my own, I called the hospital and they said to come in there was one room available. I was having contractions every 2-4 minutes apart and they gave me the pit and broke my water anyways. They noticed there was meconium in the water so I was a little worried about that. After two hours of giving me the pit I was still not hurting but I thought I mine as well get the epidural soon, so I am glad I told the nurse when I did because I was on a waiting list while other women were getting theirs. After fifteen minutes I was really feeling them, and as I watched the monitor the contractions were long and not stopping, when they did stop I was fine for a second until it kicked up again and I wanted to push!! Finally the anesthesiologist came in and as he gave me the epi laying down I could feel half the contraction stop and then all of it!! It was heaven. I told trent to go get the camera so while he was gone the nurse said if I could feel the catheter moving to let her know. I told her I could and so she checked me, * I had been at a six* so a couple minutes after the epidural she checked and I was an 8. I called my parents and they were on their way. I thought they would be here before the baby, but I was wrong. Two minutes after that I told the nurse I felt pressure and wasn't sure if it was a contraction or the head, so she checked me and I was complete. She ran to get all the supplies and when Trent came in from getting the camera he asked what was going on. I told him I was a ten! The dr. came in, the got me a mirror and within a couple pushes I could feel her come out. After the dr. cut the baby from the cord, he tried to pull the cord to get the placenta to come out, well all of sudden the cord detached from the placenta and blood sprayed all of us, the nurse, the dr. Trent, me, my bed, my hair and face! The nurse said she had never seen such a messy delivery LOL. Then the dr. asked if I had an epidural * I am glad the anesthesiologist came when he did or I wouldn't have had time for one!* I told him yes so he reached and grabbed the placenta and then that shot blood over us again. What a delivery! Everything went so well and for the first time I have a baby where I can see both of us in her not just Trent lol. She has chubby cheeks, dark hair in the back. She weighed 7'5 and 19 inches long. She was born 08/08/08 with the olympics playing in the background at 6:50 p.m She is a really good baby so far. That night after my family had come visited and I was done playing with her the nurse took her to the nursery. They woke me up saying she keeps holding her breath and so they took her to the special care unit to keep an eye on her. They thought she had an infection so they gave her antibiotics and if it came back positive she would have to stay in the hospital for ten days. On sunday it came back that she was ok. So Sat. and Sunday weren't the way I would have had it but at least she was fine and we got to come home. I had my CT scan done so I couldn't nurse for 48 hours so by the time I could I was engorged with the baby blues so that is why I haven't been on here telling my story. Things are getting better though. The kids were so excited and love the baby a little too much! I have cuter pictures to post when I get the time.

She is here!!!

2008-08-10T18:23:00.000-07:00

Faith Sienna was born 08/08/08!! I will tell you all the whole story and post cuter pictures ( I tried to post them but my Internet is acting up) probably tomorrow, but for now I am going to get some sleep finally!!! She gets this look when her dad pinches those chubby cheeks, just hour after born!!

I found this off of my SIL's blog and loved how beautiful it was:

For many years the Mesa Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-daySaints (Mesa, Arizona) has had exhibits on the temple grounds during theEaster season. This year, there was also a'Reflections of Christ' photography exhibit in the Mesa Temple Visitor'sCenter. The photographer was given permission to photograph Pageant castmembers for the exhibit. They traveled to various locations in Arizona thatthe photographer felt looked like the places in Israel where the events took placeand recreated the scenes.The photographer worked with a few other individuals to put together a 5minute slide show which includes every image from the exhibit set to the hymn 'ComeThou Fount of Every Blessing.'Just remember when you're watching the video that the photographs are real,they are not paintings just Incredible!

Why is it when you need your kids to be good, they aren't??? I swear if they haven't put me into labor by now, nothing will! It has been a busy week trying to find information out for Hannah's kindergarten, faith's blessing day coming up, and Trent's school. This all starts at the same time so that should be fun!~ Thankfully this is Trent's last year of his apprenticeship! Whu Hoo! When my kids get distracted with the little preschool activities I give them, I have been doing a wedding video for my niece and trying to read "Breaking Dawn" I can't believe it's already August 6th yet at the same time this week is going so SLOW!!

The Past two weeks

2008-08-03T19:24:00.001-07:00

It has been so nice having a clean house for two weeks!! I missed my kids and was so ready to be a mom again. They are getting so big! It's amazing how a house can be dismantled within minutes with two kids home however! Trent surprised me and bought me the book, "Breaking Dawn" *thanks to Cindy and Gina for going out late Friday night*
The kids keep asking when Faith will be here, Hannah keeps saying " how many more sleeps?!" This week will be interesting and it will be nice to have the kids keep me company!

Not Yet!

2008-08-01T08:07:00.000-07:00

I went in for the amnio but the baby was moving everywhere, and so the dr. was afraid to even try to do the amnio. They finally found a spot up by my ribs, and told me they weren't going to numb me. I asked if it hurt more with the numbing meds and they said yes, then they said I could tell them what hurt more! Oh Geez thanks!! lol. Well while he was preparing the stuff, the baby kicked her feet right in the spot he was going to put the needle. They tried to move her but all it did was make her push the cord right in the way. So no amnio, no baby until next friday!~

2008-07-27T09:00:00.000-07:00

I am sure you are all sick of my dr. updates as I am! Yesterday I was having a lot of sharp pain every time the baby moved her head. I went to the dr. and we found out that my pelvic bone is dislocated and that is why when she moves I get extreme pain. Well there is nothing I can do about this, normally a loratab knocks me out, but even TWO didn't do anything. To make a long story short I go in on Thursday for another amnio and if her lungs are ready then we will be having a baby this Friday or Sat.

Dr. Check- up

2008-07-25T20:40:00.001-07:00

I went into the dr. today for my checkup since the hospital. He said that they are moving up the induction date to Aug 8th * I am worried about her lungs being developed so he told me some good information about that* However he doubts I will even make it till then. When he checked me he laughed and said she is RIGHT THERE!! That is what makes me nervous, not getting to the hospital in time! He also said that the Ultrasound they did to see if I had kidney stones came back saying that there was a thick layer of lining on my kidneys. I asked what that meant and he told me that I need to get a CT scan right after delivery and go to a urologist. There was still abnormal cells in the urine *Sorry if tmi* and that the blood in it is not normal. I get home and type in google " Thick lining of the kidneys" and up pops Bladder cancer. All the symptoms of that is what I have been feeling *I highly doubt that I have cancer it was just kind of weird that popped up since it's my bladder I am having problems with!* so I stopped reading it before I freaked out LOL. Now I am very curious as to what is really going on. I guess time will tell!

2008-07-22T10:21:00.000-07:00

Just posting this is making my head spin. I am trying to get my mind off of the pain and I know a lot of people have been wondering what is going on and I appreciate that. Thursday as I had previous said my sil Gina took me to AF hospital because I felt like I was in labor. Come to find out they said I had a bladder infection and sent me home with some macro-bid. The pains got worse and weren't going away, so Sunday I called the on call dr. and waited and waited. I still have not gotten a call back and that was Sunday. I decided to call the L & D and told them what was going on, they said to take a Tylenol. Yeah right. I finally called the new dr. I was going to be seeing with my new insurance and he had his secretary call me right back because he was in a c-section. She told me that I needed to get into the hospital ASAP. I went to Timp. What a night and day difference~!! The nurses were so good to me and tried everything to get me out of pain. They thought I had kidneys stones so I had an ultrasound but couldn't find any *Thank goodness* so they thought it was a kidney infection since they cathed me twice and found blood. I have to go to a urologist to find out what is going on because the results aren't adding up. Sunday night I got really bad contractions every 2 minutes apart. My back was killing me and I went from a 1 to a 3 dilation and 90 % effaced. They were going to induce me but the dr. wanted to make sure * I am so glad he did because even though I was so ready to have this baby and get rid of this pain I would've felt so bad if the baby was sick* Sure enough I had the amniocentesis and were hoping for a level of 45 for the lungs in order to induce, but the baby's level was only 19!!! I feel so drugged up, sick , and am trying to keep in bed so I don't go into labor. I am staying with that hospital and dr.office because of the better care I received there. They told me I could stay and they would watch me, but for some reason a ton of women came in in labor and the rooms were all booked so I would have to share a room *which is the down fall and If I were in labor last thing I would want is to share a room, so I decided to take the meds home* Now I am home and my parents and sister have my kids which has helped me so much so that I can really rest and stay in bed. I am crossing my fingers that she doesn't come until her lungs are ready. When they did the amnio her eyes were open in the US it was the weirdest but cutest thing ever. Thanks to everyone who has helped watch my kids and help out I so appreciate it and couldn't ask for better family/friends.Not many people knew I was in the hospital because it happend so fast, I was in a lot of pain and exhausted. Darren and Sheryl watched my kids until Gina came to get them, then my parents came to get them on monday, other than that no one else really knew, so I am glad those that could filled everyone else in with the info since I was a zombie! I will try to keep you all posted.

Little Bill

2008-07-18T13:08:00.000-07:00

My kids are so funny, I love when 2:00 rolls around lately because they have their new favorite show, "Little Bill." I can always hear Hannah and Austin laughing their little heads off at this show!! It makes me smile to hear them.

2008-07-17T20:22:00.000-07:00

Last night I felt like another bladder infection was coming on. However in the middle of the night I felt like gravity was taking over and every time I would get up I thought the baby was going to fall right out, I felt like the baby had dropped even more~ I was having pain in my back just like I did when I was in labor with Austin. I was 36 weeks when I had him. I kept thinking, if my contractions get worse I will wake up Trent. Luckily I feel asleep finally. In the morning the cramps were getting worse and all of a sudden my tailbone felt like there was a ton of pressure on it, EXACTLY the way it was with Austin!!! I really thought this might be the start of the real thing. Thanks to my wonderful SIL Gina who came to get me to go to L &D once again. She took my kids and hers to McDonald's while I waited for the news. I was very frustrated because I couldn't sit or lay down because of my tailbone. My contractions were every three minutes apart. The nurse said that I could go home because I wasn't dilated as much. I thought are you nuts?! Fine, what can I take for the pain??? she said Tylenol and to put a heat pack on my back. Um yeah like that is really going to work!! I told her my contractions were getting stronger but she didn't seem to care. I told her I think I also might have a bladder infection, and of course I did! I went home and all day today have been feeling like my body is still in labor or something isn't right! I took one of my Lortab that I had from my last L &D visit and thankfully my tailbone pain settled down but the contractions and cramping in my back still haven't. It makes me wonder if I will have another posterior baby!! Now I am at home just resting and getting all the sleep I can. My cute daughter is "taking care of mommy" she told me she was going to make soup, bring me water, and she rubbed my head and piled blankets on me so I wouldn't get cold. Every time she came in she asked why the blankets were off, I told her it was too hot!!! I don't know if anyone has seen Wall-E but my feet and hands look like the little fat people on the show! Then Hannah made me a letter * she used to put my stamps on the envelope until that got way expensive* so she showed me her drawing of a stamp, much better!

Things I have been working on..

2008-07-16T14:44:00.000-07:00

Here are some things I have been working on. I bought the hats with the bows at my sil Gina's hat party. Then I keep seeing these little Tux bows on clips and decided to make my own. Kind of addicting

2008-07-15T16:21:00.000-07:00

I have been feeling so weird lately, I am extremely fatigued *Could be due to my iron* but the last couple months I have been nesting, and the last couple weeks I have PUSHED myself to do things. Now I am pure tired. I hear there is a full moon friday..... we shall see. jk

This could be scary..

A girl I know makes these and I have fallen in love with the Cookie Monster one!

2008-07-10T13:12:00.000-07:00

I have wanted to know how to make little hair stuff for the baby and Hannah. I went to Dollar Tree and found some flowers that I pulled apart and re layered and put on some clips so that I can change the flower/bow on the headbands. My favorite flower that I made is the pink one with the sequences. It is really a Hallmark gift flower to put on a present, but I pulled it apart and glued it onto a hair clip! I need tons more! LoL. I am excited for my SIL Gina's party tomorrow, she is hosting a bow/flower/hat party! This way I can go get some cool ideas and even get some bows since I can't tie!!

Two weeks ago I went to visit my friend I haven't seen in a year, Crystal who is also expecting. The shirt I am wearing I bought with Crystal when we were Jr's in high school from savers!LOL It still fits!

The fourth of July we went and saw Wall-E, had a BBQ at my moms, then went to the Clearfield Fireworks.

I thought it would be fun to have the kids paint my belly like they would a big pumpkin or giant Easter egg. They LOVED it! This was an only one time deal, hopefully they remember that~! Looks like I have the whole world in my hands!

2008-07-03T13:58:00.000-07:00

These last couple of weeks I have been asking Trent over and over about the insurance, I have made calls and tried to see where I can now go because of the new switch. I had all my dr appt's already set up with my induction date at my old dr. I kept putting off canceling and telling them I wasn't coming in anymore. I about went three different times to go cancel but decided I would just do it the day I went to my new dr. So the day of my new dr. I was sitting on the dr's table waiting for him to come in when my phone started ringing, it was the insurance company. After being told that there is no way I can no longer go to AF hospital or back to my old dr, I was ready to set everything up for Timp and my new dr. I hurried to listen to the message and it said that they had good news the new insurance company will let me go to my old dr. I am glad I didn't cancel anything, and at that point I stayed to get my dr checkup anyways since I had to cancel my old dr's that morning appt. I was really impressed with the new dr as well, so it is nice to know that if something were to go wrong agian I have two good dr's to go to. The nice thing about my old dr. is that I have already paid a lot of money to them, and they are cheaper.

Free Diapers

2008-06-30T16:08:00.000-07:00

A friend wrote this out for me, I am going to go try it tomorrow:

On June 29 the new sales ad will start. Walgreens brand Jumbo packages of diapers (both the white and red packages) will be on sale for $5.99 each. In the July Easysaver booklet (which is a coupon & rebate booklet available at Walgreens stores) there will be a coupon in there for $5 off 2 packages of Walgreens diapers. This coupon will automatically adjust itself and give you 2.50 each package you buy. This booklet will be available in stores starting June 27th. You also need to go to the pharmacy and ask for a $50 Walgreens savings booklet. These booklets are free to anyone who asks about the new prescription savings plan. You don't have to buy the savings plan just ask about it and get the booklet. Many employees don't know where the booklets are so insist that someone who does know get one for you. They are a white and red booklet that is folded over 3 times and contains various Walgreens coupons for their store brand items. One of the coupons inside that book is for $2 off one package of Walgreens brand diapers. This coupon automatically scans for $2 off each package you buy. Both of the above coupons are Walgreens store coupons. You can combine them for the same purchase. All you have to do is present them to the cashier and they both scan fine. Also since both are store coupons the cashier will not need them for their drawer like a regular coupon. She scans them and you can keep them for future purchases. So hang on to them both! Even though they may say limit one they scan and give you the adjusted amount off for each package you buy. During the entire month from June 27th until July 28th Walgreens has another deal where you buy any 3 listed products (this deal is advertised in the Easysaver coupon & rebate booklet) you will get a $5 Register Reward Coupon for anything on your next purchase. Walgreens Jumbo diapers are one of the qualifying products. So this is how to maximize the deal and get FREE Diapers! Remember for the week of June 29th! Buy three packages of Walgreens brand Jumbo diapers (white or red package) for $5.99 each on sale. Your total will be $17.97 Give the cashier your Easysaver coupon in the Easysaver booklet for $5 off when you buy two packages. Remember this will give you 2.50 off each package for a total off of $7.50 Your total now will be $10.47 Now give the cashier your $2 coupon that is inside the Pharmacy red & white coupon booklet. This will give you $6 off total. Now your total will be $4.47 You need to pay the $4.47. After you pay you will recieve a coupon from the coupon machine next to the register for $5 off your next purchase of almost anything. This makes the diapers FREE in essense. This deal is unlimited! But there are a few tricks to get the most out of it. Do not buy more than 3 packages in one transaction. If you buy 6 packages you will not recieve two $5 Register coupons. So only buy 3 at a time. Remember to keep your two coupons for each additional purchase you make. The cashiers do not need to keep them since they are store coupons and the register automatically keeps track of how many are used. When you get your $5 Register coupon DO NOT use it to help pay for your second transaction of more diapers. This will void out you getting another $5 coupon. The only way to get a $5 register coupon for each transaction is to pay with cash, debit, credit or giftcard. Just save all your register coupons. The pharmacy coupon booklets are available now. So if you want to get that early go ahead. The July Easysaver booklet that has the $5 diaper coupon will not be available until June 27th. The sale price does not start until June 29th. So get yourself together and ready to do this deal for the week of June 29th. This deal is good nationwide, if you have friends or family in another state tell them about it. Anybody can do this since the Walgreens coupons and sales are the same nationwide. If you can't do this deal the week of the 29th you still have until July 28th to do it. But you will pay a little more. Once the diapers go off sale they will be regular price of 7.99 each. 3 packs at 7.99 each = 23.97. Minus the $5 coupon for $7.50 off - the $2 coupon for $6 off = 10.47. You'll need to pay the 10.47 You will then get the $5 register coupon to bring your final cost down to 5.47 for 3 packages.

My significant Other

2008-06-28T09:21:00.000-07:00

Where did you meet? Good Ole’ Dixie College In St. George
What was the first thought that went through your head when you met?
We were going caving and I saw this guy driving a truck up on this hill crazy with a bunch of girls in it. I thought that looks fun, then when he came to pick the rest of the crew up I said “ Cool Cd Player” He had a cd player that had a picture of little dolphins swimming on it *K that sounded a little weird, but it was cool Lol* He kept trying to hold a girls hand so I never really checked him out or whatever because I thought he was dating this chick. *He would kill me if he read that*
When I really got to know him, I thought he would be a great friend, a buddy bud that I could go to. He was someone I truly felt like I could trust.
Do you remember what he/she was wearing?
Probably shorts, his hat he always used to wear and I don’t know about the shirt
Where was the first time you kissed this person?
I kissed him first In my apartment.
Where did you go for your first date?
We didn’t go on an actual DATE until after we were dating. College kids come up with their fun creative ideas with a bunch of friends, or we just relax and watched movies. The first date we were supposed to go to a stomp and my roommates did my hair and make-up, way more then I ever have worn. But last minute trent called and asked if we could go see The Others with his brother and sister in law. I remember hurrying and trying to wipe most of the dark eyeliner off.
How long did you know this person before you became a couple?
I was set to not have a relationship after I got my heart broken in high school *Turned out for the best however* and I wanted to go on a mission. But when you focus on yourself is when life hits you upside the head and within a week of meeting Trent we were a couple.
How did he/she ask you out?
PUH-LEASE! I had to do all the asking, kissing, holding hands, and so forth. Maybe that’s what he liked about me, but I couldn’t resist!
Has this person ever proposed to you?
Yes he proposed on the red cliffs in St.George.
Do you and this person have kids together?
2 and one on the way!
Have you ever broken the law with this person?
If you consider taking roses off of a grave to give to my roommate then yes. *HOWEVER they cleared the graves every Monday morning, so we did it at midnight on Sunday night*
When was the first time you realized that you liked this person?
I think the second day he I saw him around my apartment, I asked where his girlfriend was, I think he was a little confused. This is when I also figured out he was a big huggy and flirty person, unlike me who still doesn’t like to be touched.
Do you get along with his/her family?
I am very close to his family. I call his mom every day just like I call my mom everyday. I get along really well with his sisters and am glad I am part of the family. Most people can’t say that about their in laws but I am glad I can.
Do you trust this person?
More than anyone else.
Do you see them as your partner in your future?
Forever!
What is the most expensive thing they gave you?
My house?
What is one thing he/she does that gets on your nerves?
I won’t go into that ..LOL I’m pregnant I am sure a lot of things get on my nerves and I am sure I get on his nerves jk For the most part I think we have the best relationship out there, we are like two peas in a pod and best friends.
What is the thing you do that gets on his/her nerves?
Again we won’t get into that, you live and learn I guess.
Where do you see each other in 15 years from now?
In 15 years I could be a grandma *If Hannah is married and has a baby like I did at 20* I also so us hopefully going on some fun trips and just enjoying life to the fullest.
What causes the most arguments?
We really tell each other EVERY thing, we both know how to keep that trust and not go out and spill the beans when people have asked us to keep things in confidence. You don’t find that very often. I think it makes us very strong, we learn and like to help people from our mistakes, that is what this life is all about.

There is nothing better then having to switch dr's and hospitals when your 32 weeks pregnant.. ergh. I have been on the phone all day finding out what our new insurance is, and sadly it isn't the one that my dr. takes, nor does the hospital I was planning on having the baby at. So now I have to find a new dr, and new hospital, which will be even further away from where I am at now. Not only that but my new insurance doesn't take IHC so we have to find a new family dr. and pedi. Fun stuff. oh well what can ya do.

flowers for you

2008-06-23T15:14:00.000-07:00

Today my kids have been waiting for the little rain storm to stop so they could go outside and get some fresh air. I was laying in my bed watching tv, and they both ran in with weeds in their cute little hands and big smiles on their faces as they said " Here mommy!" It's the little things like this that make me smile and be proud to be their mom!

Hot, Hot, Hot

2008-06-19T08:25:00.000-07:00

We used to have a decent size swimming pool with a slide for our kids, but because we moved so much we ended up throwing it away. I bought this four dollar cheap pool at smiths, and I see why it was so cheap, It's so small!! That didn't stop the kids from having a blast however! This time of year I miss my Ogden apartment Swimming Pool, (Just the pool though lol)

Basketball

2008-06-19T08:20:00.001-07:00

Two nights ago Austin came running into my room saying " Mom, I am watching basketball" Well neither Trent or I are big into sports and we were surprised he actually new what basketball was. He was watching the Celtics vs. Laker game. We told him it was time to go to bed, but he wanted to sleep on the couch. I went to check in on him at ten o'clock and to my surprise he was still up, eyes focused on the game, cheering! Here are some pictures I took of him, maybe he should go hang out with his uncle Chad or Grandpa, who is BIG into the games. They would get along great!

Birds

3 Joys 1. Hannah- Listening to her singing at the top of her lungs, her wanting to help clean, watch her brother, and dance! I love how she is so excited to learn and wants to do creative things. She has to have a schedule because this little girl is so full of excitement and life she doesn't want to miss a moment. She loves anything girly from Disney princess's, to my make-up and dresses.
2. Austin- This little guy is so funny. He loves spiderman more then anything. He has to wear his spiderman shirt, and backpack with a hat. He loves to dress in a gray shirt and says it is his work shirt like daddy's. He is one smart cookie and loves to play his spiderman game, computer, and also loves wonderpets, and his new favorite- basketball
3. Faith- I love feeling this little girl wiggle when I am laying down and it feels like her feet and hands are reaching out into my hands.
3 Fears 1. The bad economy and not being able to afford to live anymore because the more we get raises the more everything else is inflating so much it won't matter, gas prices will always rise as everything else.

3. loosing a loved one

3 Random Facts
1. I used to visit a couple of nursing homes every Sunday, and worked at two before college. I miss doing that, because that is what brought real joy in my life.
2. I have grown a lot in the last couple years and am able to hear both sides of someones story without judging, no matter how bad it may seem
3. I have had some scary experiences in my life

I thought my kids grew up fast...

The birds in our nest have more than tripled in size since I posted their pictures, I don't know how they can all fit in that small nest. I will need to take some more pictures, but they are now starting to chirp... kinda cute! Well they themselves are ugly, but so ugly it's cute

Happy Father's Day to all the fathers! We are so blessed to have my dad, Trent's dad, our grandfathers and Trent in our lives!

homework

2008-06-14T09:56:00.000-07:00

Since we have started doing a schedule for the summer, my kids keep asking me " Mom, I want to do preschool" or Austin will say " mom I want to do my homework. I am making this for...." Everyday they make something for someone different and want to mail it to them. It is really cute to see them do their "homework." I have come up with an idea that each letter I am going to write a capital letter and lower case letter and let them glue on something that starts with that letter. For instance the Letter F- I will let them glue on feathers inside the Ff, or fake sticker flowers. For the letter E- I will let them glue on those little googly eyes. For letter B- beads or beans, and the letter X- Trix. I decided during preschool this fall the kids will take a couple days on each letter, where as I was doing one day for a letter before, this way I can do fun things that start with the letter activities, and allow them to get to really know the letter, and how to write it correctly.

2008-06-12T11:49:00.000-07:00

Today I took out the box of girls 0-3 month clothes and put them in the washer. I have come to realize that I don't have any baby girl headband/ bows and I need to learn how to make some. If anyone is getting rid of baby girl jewelery or headband/bows let me know!!

I must be nesting...

2008-06-09T16:59:00.000-07:00

After being sick yesterday I should be resting, but instead I think I am nesting. Not only did I clean really good and dust the basement, re organize the preschool room, I cleaned out the dirty food/storage room. I am fighting the urge to go wipe down walls, get the crib mattress in the crib, and pull out all the baby clothes. I think I need to go take a bath, take it easy, and take a break before I break my back!

Finally!

2008-06-09T10:30:00.000-07:00

For some odd reason my camera wouldn't let me load these old pictures onto the computer, but finally I got it fixed so here are some pictures of last year that I have been waiting for! Also I am trying to sell some old stuff online does anyone know any selling sites besides craigslist, eBay, or ksl classifieds?

Cousin Time

2008-06-07T16:09:00.000-07:00

Today after the shower I brought Ethan and Brinley back to spend some time with Hannah and Austin. So far the kids have loved playing outside in the castle, the power wheel, at the park, seeing the baby birds, and playing make believe with the dress-ups and cars in the basement while watching Rapunzel. Tonight we are going to make spaghetti and cookies (They are all going to help me!) We then will have a movie night (I promised Hannah since it rained last night and we couldn't go see the movie in the park for EM Days, that we would do a camp out in the front room) We need to get our popcorn and movie and make a big bed for the kids tonight there!~

30 Weeks

Today was my cousin Sarah's baby shower! All these girls in this picture + 1 more cousin out of state are expecting, we also just had another cousin have her little girl who is also out of state. In this picture the girl in the middle is due in two weeks, and everyone else (except the girl with the black shirt and blonde hair(she is due in Nov.) are due a couple weeks from each other in August. So by Christmas we will have the edition to our family: 5 baby girls, 2 baby boys, and we aren't sure yet what one is having till the end of June. ( For some reason my belly and legs are turned to the side but I had my arms around the girls so my upper body is forward, Don't ask me how I bent like that but I look huge!)

Baby Birds!!!

2008-06-06T12:00:00.000-07:00

Today when I went to get the mail, after the mama bird flew right next to my face to get out of the wreath on my door, I noticed four eggs had hatched. These birds are as big as the little tiny eggs in the nest, which is the size of the beads on the wreath. They were smaller then my pinkie finger.

Chart Jungle

2008-06-06T08:49:00.001-07:00

Every morning Hannah asks me what day it is and what it means. She always wants to know what we are doing every second of the day. I finally decided to write down a schedule so that she knows what we are doing. It has been so nice and she is not bored at all! This little girl can't wait until Kindergarten so she can have so much fun! I decided to give them the same chore chart every day. I found a cool website that you can print off charts from potty training, behavior charts, chore charts, budgets and shopping list charts at Chart Jungle for free! ( I am amazed at how well they actually can clean when they put their little hearts into it!)

Family Fun Night

2008-06-06T08:41:00.000-07:00

Sunday Viewing

2008-06-02T13:44:00.001-07:00

Ok, so I got the guts to go to the viewing * the funeral is today I couldn't go to that * and told myself do not cry, because once I start I won't be able to stop! I couldn't look at my sister Kelli because while we were standing in line the little kids came up to hug us and It was so sad, kelli had tears in her eyes and that set me off so we both had to go in the bathroom and wipe our tears before we got in the door. I got into the door and hugged Lisa until she said " It's good to see you guys, I wish we could've meet up sooner before something like this happened" Then I went to shake his mom's hand and I couldn't hold it in finally after shaking hands with his sister *Thats all I could do my mom had to introduce me and I couldn't talk after that* I grabbed my mom's arm thinking it was Trent and she looked at me with her teary eyes and I shook his brothers hand then darted out the door boobing sobs down the hall until I could get into the bathroom. I felt so stupid I couldn't a stop crying and as I was rushing out I could hear someone say "Oh, she is crying." I think Lisa said it and no one really was crying so I didn't want to make it worse. So after I stopped crying we went outside and one of the little girls, Jessica had this little butterfly cage and her kindergarten teacher brought it to her so she could let the butterflies go. The last butterfly did not want to let go and held on to Jessica's hand, she sat there and smiled and both my sister and I started to tear up. Kelli said it looked like something out of a movie. It seemed like it was her daddy not wanting to leave her alone. Finally the butterfly flew away and I had to leave before I started crying again. I still can't believe that this has happened, and I my heart aches for them. It just felt like yesterday their family was next door to my moms, or me trying to get Lisa to go to a scary movie. We actually did once and I told her my analogy of the movie and happened to be right, we were the only ones in the theatre and she told me a lot about her life and growing up. I just feel so bad for them.

Date Night

2008-06-02T13:39:00.000-07:00

Sat. the Coe side went on the date night to a Mexican restaurant and to see Indiana Jones. I love Indiana Jones movies but I think between this one and Iron Man, I really enjoyed Iron Man a lot more. It was nice to get out after such a gloomy week! *thanks for the pics Gina*

Erin's graduation

2008-06-01T08:08:00.000-07:00

Congrats Erin!!! On Friday I went to layton and was able to go see my little sister graduate! I can't believe how fast time flys, it just seemed like yesterday I was teaching her and her class in the fourth grade for elementary tutoring. I came up early to do Erin's hair and make-up and I could tell she was a little stressed, this week has been hard and my poor dad has another kidney stone so it was us girls who went. Then we went to Roosters with my grandpa afterwards! It was fun and I hope your summer goes better then it has begin Erin!!

blah..

2008-05-29T06:44:00.001-07:00

What a week, I am ready for it to be over! I couldn't sleep last night my thoughts and my bladder kept me up all night long. I don't know if I should even post this, but it's nice to be able to vent, and the only one who knows who I am talking about is my sister and my mom, so I dunno maybe I will delete it. Yesterday was my dad's birthday, but probably not a fun one for him. I don't know what it is about memorial weekend and everyone seems to pass away. Last week my mom called me and told me a cute little couple in my old ward were in a car accident on their way to the temple, he died on the scene. Then she called me the next day or so and told me she had passed as well. When I heard she passed I thought that is good because now she doesn't have to be alone and they can be together. So for my dad's birthday he had to go to their funeral and then another viewing that night for someone they know. He also got the news that someone we know had taken his life. It didn't seem real when they told me but I couldn't stop thinking about it. They have young kids and last night when Trent and I said goodnight to our kids my mind wouldn't stop letting me think how sad those kids aren't able to kiss their dad goodnight last night. Even as an adult it would be hard to understand or go through something like that, but as a child they have no idea why things happen. I honestly think that it is easy for people to judge or think people who take their own life are selfish but what people don't realize is they aren't in their right mind, and they think that what they are doing is for the best otherwise they wouldn't do it. Anyways enough about that, I am just glad families can be together forever and that God himself is the judge and knows the intent of our hearts no matter how hard life can be. Times like this make you want to just hug your children and realize you are important to them even though when they scream and fight and you have to chase after them putting you into contractions, they really do love you and would do anything to have you. Well my heart goes out to the family and I wish there was something I could do to help. My sister asked me if I would come up for the funeral, but it seems like every time I am pregnant someone dies and I am overly emotional at the funerals even when it is for someone who is old or in pain and needed to go, so I can't imagine going to one like this where his kids will be there, I think I will make matters worse being a big cry baby.

2008-05-28T10:18:00.000-07:00

I am not sure if it is this book I have been reading or a feeling that I need to get off my butt and start preparing for the future. I need to get my food storage prepared. In the book I have read, and a very possible of a nuclear bomb (E BOMB) * When I used to think of nuclear bomb you think of the mushroom clowd a fast spark of light and bamb your gone not knowing what you hit you, or getting radiation afterwards, but I never thought of one hitting high in the automspehere setting off all battery operated things including fridges, anything electric, pacemakers,the plumbing in your home will be electrified, cars, cell phones, computers, and even flashlights would bring us into a 1880 time frame, what can I do to prepare? I am not going to go buy tons of stuff right now, but getting a 72 hour kit for my kids, and a three months food storage of normal food (Even if my husband lost his job or something unpredictable like that I would still be able to live off of the three months of storage) Then when you can buy a long term food storage. Most people die from contaminated water, so even if you were to fill up water from the tap right now in good water storage would come in handy later. Also if a nuclear attack or electromagnetic pulse EMP - this website sums it pretty much up. Read it!(http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article4394.htm) *Not a direct attack to kill instantly or from radiation, but to make America die from a long death from starvation and unable to survive or get around since that is what we depend on, how many of us know how to do things our ancestors did over 100 years ago? I don't* cash won't mean anything but meaningless paper, the only thing that might be of real value would be gold. How many of us know emergency preparedness? For family home evening these next couple weeks I am going to have Trent show me how to turn off all the gas/water valves and put the correct tools next to them, and so on. Ok so this is a long post but I found this idea of a simple way to spend around 8-10 dollars a week to build up your storage. There are a lot of other ideas, but one I will do is not only get battery powered flashlights, but also I want some that you can shake and don't depend on battery's, and I will also learn how to use a gun, because who knows when that will come in handy as scary as that would be. Even if it isn't my lifetime that sees more destruction than what is going on now, someone down my line will be and I hope to not only prepare myself and my children, but also that they can teach their children and so on.

Memorial Day

2008-05-27T07:46:00.000-07:00

This memorial day we were hoping to do something fun with the kids but I got sick again for the fifth time in two months. I figured it has to be something besides just a stomach bug to be getting it this much. I started getting contractions and in my back *I normally get back labor when I go into labor* so Trent and I went to L & D. I swear something must be wrong with my veins in my arm or I just keep getting crappy nurses. The nurse I had poked me three times and during one time she was wiggling the needle under my skin, I looked up at Trent and his face was in horror. As soon as the nurse left to find someone else, he asked "Holy crap she was moving that needle everywhere if I had to watch that again I might pass out. " It sure did hurt. Then a new nurse came in and thankfully on the the first try she got the IV in. I told them not to give me any medications because I wasn't sure which one makes me so sick, well they did anyways and it sure was the one that makes me dizzy!! I was having a ton of strong contractions and really close together, they told me I was dehydrated and as soon as they fixed that the contractions weren't so close together anymore. I was out from the medication and we still don't know why I keep getting so sick so they took a bunch of tests. Needless to say I don't want to see that place until it is time to have the baby, hopefully not for at least another ten weeks!

Ok, so today I am a blog hog so you might have to scroll down to read everything I have added in the last 24 hours. I must tell you about this book series that I am reading. I don't think I have ever read a more suspenseful, could be real life situation of the last days book before. Book number three made me feel like I was at the movies, my heart was beating and my fingers were clenched!!! My uncle and dad have been telling me they really enjoy these books. The first one, "The Brothers" is pretty far fetched but as soon as you get past that first book hold on to your seats. The book is about three brothers and a sister who come to this earth life all in different situations, for instance the girl is born in Iran and the struggles that go on there are what happen now days. The books are scary where it talks about terrorists and all the trauma that has or could happen. It talks about nuclear bombs and the catastrophe it could cause. Anyways I won't ruin the book but I am already on the fourth one and it is just craziness!! The thing I like about this book is it isn't the mushy LDS books that are usually out there, it is real, to the point and if it were a movie there is no way I would be able to watch it because of the experiences that happen in it. I I enjoy how it shows people in the military and people who are spirtually fighting endure the trials that come to them in the book, and the insights of those who fight brave on the homefront and afar have to offer. This is my book of the year pick~

end of preschool!

Photo Sharing - Video Sharing - Photo Printing - Photo Books

Today was the last day of school!! Each of the kids received a video like this one (This is only a little bit of the movie, it wouldn't let me download the whole thing, so you get the just of it. It is fuzzy on here because of the downloading I had to do but the other ones looked alright)

The meaning of a name...

2008-05-21T13:34:00.001-07:00

Sina's house

Each of us in my little family is named after someone, whether it be our middle name or our first. Hannah's name is after one of the "greats" grandmas, Hannah Dyantha who came across the plains when she was a little girl. I love her story and couldn't resist on naming my little girl after her. Hannah's middle name is after mine which is Marie and after my aunt and great grandma DeYoung. Austin's middle name is after my dad's middle name, Kenneth, so for this new bundle of joy I decided we needed to do a Coe side ancestor. Faith is a name that hit me and trent when I was pregnant with Austin for our next child. My in laws gave me a book of ancestors on my mother in law Martha's side. I fell in love with Sina's story and decided that we would add a "e" in the name to make it Faith SIENNA coe. Here is Sina's story:

Sina's husband Hance had built them a house with eight rooms and a wide hall down the center. They only lived in the house for a short time when Hance was killed. "sina was scared if she was home alone when it became dark. She would gather the children around her and blow out the lamp. When she would hear Hance holler a mile off she would be brave and light the lamp. She was never able to sleep until Hance came home." The night Hance was killed, he had gone to get some medicine for his animals, Sina would later find out that a woman who was her friend who would come to visit, her husband had been the one who had killed Hance. She held no malice towards him and she was always able to visit with his wife while he would sit in his parked car outside of her home. After Hance died she no longer became afraid of being alone and decided that she needed to move their home. Sina started on Aug 2nd to do the "impossible" Sina took down her home and numbered each of the boards so that when she put up her house again it would become like a puzzle and put all the pieces back together. There was 15,000 lumber, 26,000 shingles, and 5,000 bricks for the fireplace that she had to take down. She would pack the wagon so tight that when it would get stuck she would have to unload everything, get the wagon unstuck and load everything back up! She had the house finished by Feb. She had a hard life and lost some of her children too early, but because of her faith she was able to keep going when everything seemed to be lost.

Happy Mother's Day and Happy BIrthday Hannah

2008-05-13T14:27:00.000-07:00

We celebrated Mothers day at my moms house, and while we were there we also celebrated Hannah's 5th birthday!!! We always enjoy making fun cakes for the kids, It's more like I make the cake and most the time come up with the idea and Trent pretty much decorates it!! This time it was all his idea and decorations!!

I love Freecycle

2008-05-10T16:40:00.000-07:00

If any of you have heard of craigslist.org or ksl, then you will love freecycle. I just got a brand new crib mattress and car seat never been used before using this. There is one in every big city and it is a yahoo group, you can get rid of things you don't want by putting it on your porch and having people pick it up or visa versa. We just cleaned out our garage and since we don't have a truck to take things to DI and some of the stuff was in good condition it was nice to know someone could use it!~ Anyways I thought I would vent how I like it and did I mention the stuff is free!?

Jo Lenes

2008-05-10T12:27:00.001-07:00

While we were at the mall yesterday getting Trent' s eyes checked, my eyes focused on this cute little dress for only 25 bucks at Jo Lene's. This will be Faith's blessing dress, it resembles a lot of my wedding dress. I got each of my kids their own blessing outfits and decided that since the dress was on sale I would get it now. For my other kids when they were blessed, Hannah had a long dress with a bonnet, and Austin had a white little tux!

Animals on parade

2008-05-10T12:25:00.001-07:00

For some odd reason animals seem to love this place, first we had birds build a nest in my wreath on the front door and it doesn't seem to bother them that the door still opens. They have laid two eggs already we can watch them by looking out the peephole. Then yesterday this fat dog who could barley walk came over and chilled out in the garage with Trent while he cleaned it out. The kids LOVED the dog and Austin kept going around saying it was his doggy. It stayed on our porch chillin all day yesterday and today.

The Lion House

2008-05-10T12:21:00.000-07:00

The flowers were so pretty at the Lion House when we went for a cousin's wedding, I couldn't resist taking pictures of the kids next to the garden. We took the kids up to the Joseph Smith Memorial Building to look at the temple but for some reason my camera wasn't working. It was prom night and Hannah loved all the pretty dresses.

My little Lucky Charm

2008-05-02T11:18:00.000-07:00

I have asked a couple women if their last pregnancy was harder then their first ones. Thinking to myself that this is my third pregnancy and I have already done it twice before it should be cake! WRONG! Each woman said that the more pregnancies the harder it was but the easier the recovery is. I remember telling people that I felt better in my second trimester of pregnancy then not being pregnant at all. This time is a different story. Starting from the beginning I was so sick, had food poisoning, stomach flu three times and lost 16 pounds. Once that was over the time has flown by according to me, I can't believe it is already May! To Trent, however the time is going so slow LOL. I have been having braxton hicks contractions throughout this whole pregnancy starting very early, well yesterday they were getting stronger and to the point it was taking my breath away and hurting a little bit. I called my dr. telling them I think it could be a uti that was causing it. (When I wasn't pregnant it was so easy to know the minute a uti hit me, now the only symptom I get is stronger contractions that I notice, I never had uti's during my other two pregnancys but I used to get them a lot when I wasn't pregnant. This time I had one about two months ago) They told me to go into labor and delivery to check it out. When I got there my neighbor who is the nurse there was my nurse! They did a test to see if I would go into labor in the next couple weeks, but some of my friends had that test turn up positive and not go into labor till full term. She told me I was a fingertip dilated and that I def. had a UTI. The baby kept kicking the monitor off and making it really loud when she would move. I must say I love macrobid, it is like candy to me.. .it makes everything better!! I was crossing my fingers that it was only a uti because there is no way I could go on bed rest with two kids and everything I am doing. I do get a wave of energy where I just have to clean clean clean and today I tried to stop the urge to do things that make me feel overwhelmed. I decided to lay down and try to take a nap while Trent watched the kids. I woke up an hour later came out of my room and saw toys and lucky charms spilled all over my front room and kitchen floor that I had just cleaned the day before. I can take one day off but other then that I don't know how women do it!! The only thing that scares me a little bit about this pregnancy is that I won't make it to the hospital on time, she is so low and it took us around 45 minutes to get to the nearest hospital with no traffic, by the time we found someone to watch our kids!

Kangaroo Zoo

On Saturday we went to Haleigh and Dawson's birthday party at Kangaroo Zoo!! It was so much fun!!

Time is flying by!

Oh Geez...

2008-04-16T13:44:00.000-07:00

I think some of us look like Hitler and Chaplin

Alright I am getting sick of writing a whole long post and not being able to copy the text if my Internet goes wacky and I end up loosing all my data!!

I had written that my dad was talking to Hannah over the phone when he heard the next door neighbor's dog barking. My dad asked her, " Is that your mom barking?" Hannah replied, " no, that's another dog" I don't think he heard that response but I laughed!

The picture was of last month's Coe sister girls night, we played Rock Band at Vicki's house and she made us little mustaches. I think there was something in our drinks~ jk

Around her hair she wore a yellow ribbon...

2008-04-16T12:57:00.000-07:00

Driving home today I saw a lot of people putting up flags and putting up yellow ribbons all over Eagle Mountain, it reminded me of the day we tied our yellow ribbons around our tree in the front yard for my dad to return from Desert Storm. I thought back to all the things that happened while he was gone, my mom took us to little things the national Guard had set up and we would go with a girl named Tammy and her baby. I remember the day my dad came back and the parade he got to march in. I was so excited he was safe and that I could get baptised and not have to wait longer for him to get home. It reminded me of the song my dad used to always sing to us:

"Around her hair she wore a yellow ribbon, she wore a yellow ribbon in the very month of May. And if you ask her why she wore that ribbon she wore it for her soldier who was far far away. Far Away.... Far Away..... she wore it for her soldier who was far, far away!" I sing it to my kids now too, I think Scott my brother really enjoyed that song the best.

Kindergarten Shots

2008-04-16T12:50:00.000-07:00

Today I had to take Hannah to get her kindergarten checkup and shots, so she is all ready before August. She did great, and didn't cry until the third shot and made me want to cry with her, seeing her sad little face! I took her to get some ice cream afterwards and now she is excited she is all ready for kindergarten!

nothing worse..

2008-04-15T07:51:00.001-07:00

There is nothing worse then being sick on top of being pregnant. Yesterday I got a bad stomach flu or food poising all day long and couldn't move unless it was to throw up! This is the third time this pregnancy this has happened and this time the baby was kicking my stomach making it much worse, I don't remember my other kids moving around so much it hurt, so hopefully today I will get better!

Flashback

2008-04-12T14:17:00.001-07:00

This picture was taken a couple years ago, It reminded me because today Hannah told me she had a dream about Scott, and always remembers him in her prayers while he is serving a mission. She needed someone to play with her before her brother was born, and luckily she had an uncle to play the part!!

2008-04-10T16:19:00.000-07:00

Today on our way to see my Dr. Hannah asked who she was going to marry. I told her I didn't know and that she would find out when she was older. Then I asked her who she would like to marry, she told me the guy with yellow hair on dancing with the stars. She even remembered him after last season of that show when he appeared on Entertainment tonight, its funny! Then she asked what my Dr's name was, when I said Dr. Smith she asked if she was from the store. We must go to Smith's quite a bit!

Children's Nursery

Hannah's quilt

Thanks for the baby sign Kelli

There are little frogs above it

taken at a weird position

can't tell in this picture, but their quilts are really cute from Gardner Village

Do I need a little frog next to the big one?

Thanks for the lettering Mary

(frogs, things and dragonfly wings, that's what little kids are made of)

Peek A Boo I love You

(with a picture of the kids putting their hands over their eyes.. coming soon)

I finished the kids room, however now I think it may be too yellow so we might add some bead board but not for a while, here are some pictures! I do need to get a crib mattress so I can put up the cute crib bedding.

Baby Bump

2008-04-10T09:21:00.000-07:00

Here I am at 22 weeks! I have a dr. appt today at 3:30 she is going to go over the ultrasound results with me!

2008-04-10T09:15:00.000-07:00

A couple days ago Hannah was telling Trent how she felt a weird feeling inside that told her that she didn't want to obey. Trent went on telling her about Satan and how we can say a prayer to help us out. She went into her room where we heard her ask Austin if he had a bad feeling and would like to pray with her, then we heard her say her cute little prayer about how Satan was not nice!! She has a little prayer rock and always loves to read scriptures and pray with her rock, she really is an example to even her parents!!

X marks the spot!

2008-04-10T09:07:00.000-07:00

Today for preschool we learned about the letter X, so we made pirate masks and went on a treasure hunt! The kids loved it and the treasure was rewards for what they have accomplished during the school year with a box of whoppers!

The joke is on you Trent

2008-04-02T06:57:00.000-07:00

Trent's mom has told us forever ago that there was a family pot luck party at her sisters house yesterday. She kept wanting us to come and so when she called to ask if Trent was taking me out to dinner, Trent said "we are going to the potluck " he thought it was odd she would ask that. So we go to this potluck and half way through we relize Trent is the ONLY guy there, surrounded by tons of women. He kept getting comments on how brave he was to be the only guy. We asked some of his sisters if this was an only girl thing, and some of them said yes. Needless to say we left early and Trent told me if he knew that was what it was going to be he would've taken me out instead, why would I go to meet his aunt I don't know on my birthday... he kept venting about it and how his mom should've told him. I thought it was kinda funny but hey he got free food so that's what matters I guess.

Go back and read your comments, you'll see why its...

25 Years!

2008-04-01T09:47:00.000-07:00

Today is my 25th Birthday. It's funny how fast time flys, and yet it seems like it should be longer!!! A lot of good things happened the last 25 years, but I don't have time to paste it all..

I am suprised...No one..

2008-04-01T09:26:00.000-07:00

No wonder this pregnancy has been hard and not like the other two!

I am suprised....No one commented on the "extra" hand in the ultrasound that I showed you. I was mad because I had written a huge thing about naming my baby Faith and Sienna and how they got their names from, but right as I pushed enter it all erased for some odd reason! So I will retype it all later. Anyways I didn't tell anyone yesterday because I wanted to see how long it took for someone to notice, The first person who did was my niece Brittany who commented at my mother in laws birthday party last night. Here is a couple other of my ultrasound pictures:

This one is taking from the video, so not very clear.

It's A...

2008-03-31T16:19:00.000-07:00

Easter!

2008-03-27T08:50:00.000-07:00

This Easter was a lot of fun, we started the weekend out going to Sadie Johnson's birthday party! It was really fun! Then we went to mom's and had an easter egg hunt and dinner. The next morning when the kids had to find their baskets Austin thought the easter bunny took his, finally he found it under the sink where his diapers are. Later that day I asked if he had seen my phone, and he informed me that the easter bunny took it. I found it in my purse!

American Idol

2008-03-26T09:19:00.000-07:00

This year is the first year I have actually watched American Idol. I must say there are a lot of talented people and I like most of the top ten. However I really love Jason Castro's personality, maybe it is because he reminds me so much of my brother Scott. He looks nothing like him, but his sense of humor, the way he moves and his facial expressions sometimes reminds me of him.

Another guy I like is David Cook, he has great talent and I would listen to his music, but I doubt he will win because I don't think his personality has really shown through quite yet.

Boy or Girl?

2008-03-24T08:29:00.000-07:00

I got lucky and got in for an ultrasound earlier! I wasn't supposed to go in until April 10th, but there was a cancellation So I go in NEXT monday. I honestly think it is a girl, and if it is a boy this will be the first time I will be surprised! I don't care what I have as long as it is healthy!!!!

Enchanted

2008-03-21T08:47:00.001-07:00

Hannah was watching Enchanted, when I walked in the room and saw her smiling at the tv while they danced, she told Austin " I Wish that could be me" I only had my phone so I hurried and took a picture.

This is a side view

2008-03-19T17:34:00.000-07:00

18 weeks 5 days

18 Weeks 5 days pregnant

2008-03-18T09:28:00.001-07:00

If I wasn't so sick or excited to tell people, I could still be hiding the fact that I am pregnant.

5 Senses- Smell

2008-03-18T09:26:00.001-07:00

As you can see we learned about our noses today in preschool!

St. Patricks Day

2008-03-18T09:23:00.001-07:00

The day started out blowing up St. Patrick day balloons, and eating green pancakes. Then we went to Gardner Village and found way cute quilts, accent like little frogs for the kids new room! Now we just need to paint, get cute accent pillows and two more cute wood cut outs from the village before everything is complete!! Then we went to Wendy's for some lunch and headed home to make shamrock cookies, that turned out looking more like crosses but oh well the kids had fun and that's all that matters!!

Whu Hoo!

2008-03-14T10:17:00.000-07:00

Today I am already Five months pregnant!!! Time sure flys when your not sick anymore!

My Sleeping Beautys

2008-03-14T10:13:00.001-07:00

I found my kids after a hard days work, asleep sitting up and sprawled all over the bed!! They are so cute when they are asleep!

Getting ready for Easter!!

2008-03-14T10:08:00.003-07:00

Hannah really wanted to try out our new bunny cookie cutter and asked if we could make sugar cookies. I told her we were going to wait until Sat next week, but she insisted we could do both! Duh mom! So we made some yummy treats last night for fun!!

Sight!

2008-03-14T10:04:00.001-07:00

Yesterday for preschool we learned about one of the five senses- sight! The kids had a blast making these silly eye hats!! Austin kept his on all day long!

Flutters

2008-03-13T13:38:00.000-07:00

So I felt the baby move yesterday, Hannah tried to feel it as well. Austin liked to kiss my tummy so the baby could "feel" it, then he wanted me to feel his tummy to see if his baby was moving as well. When I told him only mommy's can have babies he didn't like that idea. Then Trent came in and tried to feel the baby but the stubborn thing stopped!~ I told Austin that daddy and mommy's baby would move again and he could feel it next time, Austin said that daddy's baby wasn't in my tummy, his baby was in daddy's tummy. Trent said he has the stomach so it probably looks that way to him!~ I can't wait to feel it move more!

2008-03-12T07:14:00.001-07:00

Wonderful 6 years!
