Almost there (kinda)

I am almost 25 weeks and things are going well. The baby is fantastic, I'm just already sick of being pregnant. I sound like such a horrible person when I say how much I hate being pregnant. I don't really like any part of it, except for when I deliver the baby. Don't get me wrong, I am very excited for our little girl to be a part of our family, I am just having a hard time getting to that point. I just need to count my blessings. I am very thankful that we have such an easy time getting pregnant and that we have such healthy babies and pregnancies. I suppose I just don't like feeling limited in what I can do physically, (not to mention the ridiculous weight gain!) I had Landen when he was 38 weeks and Boston when he was 37 weeks, so if I keep that in mind, I only have 12 or 13 weeks left. Almost there, almost there, almost there.

Woo Hoo

Well, it's official. Landen is a psychic. He has been saying since I got pregnant that this is a baby girl. In fact he has been so adament about it, that I was a little worried because he was not going to accept it if it was a boy(although he told the ultrasound lady that it was an Elephant Baby). BUT no need for worries because we found out yesteray that it's a GIRL!!!

We are all really excited. It will be the first granddaughter on both sides, so this little princess is going to be VERY spoiled! And I'm excited I will get to have a baby shower. I don't have any little girl stuff at all, so it will be awesome. It will probably be sometime in September, so I will be asking for EVERYONE's addresses.

In other news, Landen had his CT scan yesterday and he did awesome! He was so good! I wasn't allowed in because of the baby, but Rob said they strapped him down a little so he wouldn't fall off the table and by the last picture Landen says to Rob, "Daddy, I'm stuck. And I gotta pee!" So cute. We should here from the doctor on Wednesday or so and then we will schedule his surgery for his ear.

Thanks everyone for sending us your girl vibes!

(although I would have been fine with all boys!)

Beach House 2009

WARNING: Picture overload

My family has been going to a beach house in the Ventura, CA area every summer since I was 8 years old. I'm so glad we got to go this year, we had so much fun, even if it was freezing cold most of the time. We were there from June 26th-July 2nd, and I wish we could have stayed longer. I am such a beach lover. I want to live near an ocean more than anything.

The boys LOVED going for walks and finding shells. Landen loved fishing and caught his first fish, then fish after fish. Boston loved playing in the sand. It was overcast and cold most of the time, so I only went deep out into the water once, but it was still so awesome. The beach is just in my blood. Here are a few pictures of the great time we had.

At the Santa Barbara Pier

Landen's first fish!

Then another...

and another!!!

Here's Sage and the big shark that was caught!

Boston just enjoying the sand and sun that finally came out.

Long time

Yes, it's been a long time since I had a blog entry, but it's because of good reason. I have been really sick with ALL day long morning sickness. I didn't get sick with my first two so I thought I would be fine this time too. Well, I was wrong. Everyone thinks it's a girl this time since I'm sick. If you think about it, it should be a girl because I know I can get through pregnancy with boys without feeling crappy. But you never know. And we won't know for another couple of months.

Aside from being sick there has been lots of things keeping us busy. Here's a rundown, more to come of them later on when I feel better.
1. Sage and Kelly's wedding
2. Mother and Father in-law came to visit from Boston
3. Play rehearsals started
4. I got stung by a bee for the first time 2 days ago and my foot is still swollen

Upcoming events:
1. End of year parties for my dance classes
2. My OB appt.
3. Dress rehearsal for Recital
4. RECITAL!
5. Mother's Day
6. Landen's 3rd birthday
7. Reunion in St. George
8. Canyon graduates High School
9. Boston's 2nd Birthday
10. I start my 2nd Trimester
All this happens within the next 5 weeks. I better start feeling better soon!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's right, I'm PREGNANT!

I go in for my first Doctors Appt. on May 13th, but we are almost possitive the baby will arrive either the beginning of December or (most likely) the end of November.

Happy Easter!

Easter Chicks

I always had chicks and farm animals growing up, but given our HOA, we aren't allowed to have big farm animals where we live. But for Easter I talked Rob into letting get the boys a couple of Easter chicks. I told him that they usually color them all different colors for Easter. So we headed over to the feed store and let the boys pick out a couple. They had a whole rainbow of colors. Landen picked a green one and named him Lucky and Boston picked out a blue one and doesn't really call him anything.

Aren't they SO stinkin' cute?! (The boys and the chicks!)

Landen and Auntie Autumn enjoying the chickies!

Blazer and Boston loved them! Until it pooped all over Blazer.

Tune in on Sunday for a fun Easter Surprise!

Disney, Disney

Well, Disneyland was a BLAST!

We were there from Monday to Friday and I'm reallyglad we decided to stay that long. It was the boys first trip to Disneyland and they loved every second of it. I took tons of pictures, way to many to put in one blog post, so I put them all in a slideshow on the blog if you want to see them.

I will just touch on some of the highlights while we were there:

-Meeting Mickey Mouse very first thing on the first day we were there. The boys were in Heaven.

- Landen's favorite ride: Finding Nemo

-Boston's favorite ride: Buzz Lightyear

- Meeting WALLE

-The boys feeding the ducks.

-Boston feeding his Hat to the ducks.

-The boys being totally pooped out after just a few hours!

-Thanks to some awesome friends and connections ;), having VIP seats for the Pixar Play Parade! It's where the celebrities usually sit, it was SOOO awesome! They characters all came and interacted with us.

Priceless.

- Getting their first set of Mickey Ears

-Playing at the Hotel Pool. They liked this Almost as much as Disneyland. Almost.

- Boston being a stud.

-Awesome hats from Grandma that, again because of connections, were under $5 a piece!!!
