Baby number 3!!

Well here we are having baby number 3.  It took a while for me to decided whether I was ready to put my body through this ordeal again.  After Jackson's pregnancy I wasn't too sure about getting pregnant again.  Also, I was just getting use to the idea of 2 boys.  

So......we finally decided to take the jump.....took out the IUD & here we are on August 1st at 7:40 on a Sunday morning taking a test.  

 Now here we are on November 15th........ultrasounds looks great! Cute little bug!

Do you see what the baby is?? It kind of is obvious right? Is that proportionate???

So here we are......we are going to be the parents of 3 boys! WOW......crazy life.  All I could think about was......we have to pick another boys name.....I was hoping to change it up a bit.  I am sure we will be in the hospital the last day with still no name!  AHHHH

At least we have all the stuff for a boy.  Around April 16th he will be here.  This pregnancy has been just like my 1st....pretty good! Let's pray all goes well when he gets here.  He is really active at night & keeps me up....living on no sleep is great & I have NO brain.  Not like I had one before but it is totally gone.  I

 miss you brain :(

Can't wait to hold you buddy!

Jackson's first day of preschool

 Jackson started preschool this year.  There is a neighbor that teaches in her home.  He was all excited to go, wear his backpack & ride his bike to school......but when we got there & it was time for me to leave that was a different story.

 He wan't took happy about it...as you can tell from the pictures.  It is cute,  there are 5 kids that live right by us that are doing to school with him this year....but that doesn't seems to help.
  Every time I would drop him off it would be an ordeal.  He would cry & the teacher would have to pull him off of me.  

It was REALLY bad the school day before Halloween, when they got to dress up.  From the time he got up until we got there it was......... non-stop crying & not wanting to go.  It is really weird because I thought he would go better than Ethan but .........not the case.  Ethan was really good at going,  he just wanted me to walk him in the door to school every time, but he would go.  

SO......I stayed in the class for awhile because he would not leave my side & kept crying.  Then the teacher said ....you can leave Ethan here with Jackson if it would help.  She has had Ethan the past 2 years.....so he knows his way around.  I finally said OK & Jackson FINALLY  let me leave.  

WELL....now Ethan who is 5 goes to preschool with all the 3 year olds.  She told me that I could have Ethan go to class from now on if it would help Jackson go.  Now???.......no problems. He goes with his brother just fine.  THE PLUS.......I get 2 hours without kids 2 days a week!  YES!! I just hope next year when he has to go by himself, he will go.  Silly boy!!

Lake Powell '10

 We got to go to Lake Powell this year with Kevin's family.  They have a time share houseboat down there.  I am SO LUCKY that they have that.  I grew up going to Lake Powell every year for our summer vacation.  Then when I got married my parents stopped going & Kevin's family was going to be going to Lake Powell every year! Yeah for me!

 I LOVE to be there.  This year we went the middle of September.  The weather was PERFECT, hardly anyone was there.  We decided it was best if we left Jackson home & take Ethan with us.....great idea!  I figured we could deal with one kid at Lake Powell.  My mom took Jackson while we were gone.  

THANKS MOM!

 Ethan was out on the beach & in the water from sun up to sun down......he was busy, busy all day.  It was paradise for him playing all day with his cousins in the sand & water.  

 This is where we stayed in Halls Creek bay.  It was SO nice

 This is my sexy husband skiing. We would get up early to ski & the water was still glass in the afternoon.  True heaven.  

 This is my awesome father in law skiing.  I love this picture of him smiling!!

 My cute Ethan on the back of the houseboat.  Most night he would just crash & in 2 seconds he would be asleep.  He didn't want to sleep on the top with the rest of us.  He just slept downstairs on the bottom bunk &  did awesome.  

 This is me.....I LOVE to water ski!! It was GREAT.  I'm even 2 months prego there.  

Baby's first water ski experience & trip.  

 The tubes were a huge hit with the kids.  

They just were tied on the back of the houseboat & they would jump in & out of them all day.  

 More pictures of my hubby!  We took something like 300 pictures of everyone skiing.  

It was hard to decided which one to keep and delete.  

 This is a picture of the last day.  We were on our way home & the weather decided to reek havoc on us.  It down poured on our way to the pumps.  We only had one engine the whole time & then on the way back the other one decided to quite but then started up again.  The wind was crazy.  It took forever to do everything.  At least the weather was bad the day we were leaving.  

Doug did a great job manning the houseboat....what a stress!

I love this picture that I took...of course:) This is one of Kevin's brother, Kyle skiing!

More fun in the sun

THANKS for the awesome time.  It was one of the greatest Lake Powell trips.  

Great food, fun, friends & family!! 

Father & Son's outing

 Kevin's took the boys on Sept 10th & 11th to the Heber Valley Camp for father & sons.  It was a great time.  I got to stay home & have a girls night! GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE FUN

  

 The boys seemed like they really like it.  They had fun climbing all over the bunk beds in the cabins & being with their dad.  Kevin is a great dad & the boys love being with him....how did we get so lucky?!?

Jackson's first bike ride

Kevin decided on Sept 6th that it was time for Jackson to learn to ride a 2 wheeler with training wheels now that Ethan has up graded his bike.  I didn't think that Jackson could pedal is since he would never pedal on his tricycles.  He would always Flintstone it.  Sure enough my kids surprise me....he got on the bike and took off! I think it maybe easier to pedal on a bike then on a tricycle.  He loved it & feels like a big kid.  

I love the outfits they are sporting.  The are Transformer costumes.  The boys got them from may parents for Christmas last year & have been wearing them non-stop.  They are pretty cute when they put the masks on & everything.....they sneak around the corners in the house & try to scare me with their guns.  Boys!!

Camping at the Spruces

Every year my family goes up to the Spruces the weekend of Labor Day.  They have been doing this ever since I can remember.  It use to be a Ward camp out but now has turned out to be a just a friend camp out...there are people that use to be in our ward, in our neighborhood, friends of friends, children of families that use to be in our ward.....so anyone who wants to come is welcomed.  

 My brothers & sister come up when they can.  This year my mom & dad rented a nice trailer for the trip.  We spent a lot of time in there...it was nice.  I didn't get many pictures of the trip but one night we had a dance off where all the grandkids danced around like crazy monkeys.  It was fun!
