Night and Day!



I thought it was so funny, I had to tell you! Yesterday, over breakfast, TC tells me that he is teaching his friend Oliver about Jesus because Oliver doesn't know about Jesus. I'm thinking, OK this could be good. He goes on to tell me that Jesus' father was John (I think he got mixed up with cousin) OK. And that he has been teaching him about Heavenly Father, too. AJ, of course has to tell me something, also. He said, "Mom, you know what I am going to teach my friends...FOOTBALL." Go figure. That is the difference between my boys. They each have their own personality and they crack me up. What will Dakota have to say?

Side note - February 13th, eleven years ago, Steve proposed to me. I never realized at that time that I could fall more in love with him than I was already but I will tell you that each year gets better and I am still, more in love with him. I am not just saying that because he bought me chocolate, either. Although, it helps! The chocolate counter acts the pregnancy.

Saturday Fun!



Well, what to do on a Saturday while dad is out golfing? Steve has had to turn down three invitations this month to go golfing because we have had so much going on. That says alot because Steve never turns down a golf invitation. Well, I told him this Saturday was his day so I took the kids out to play. My parents live next door to us and they have a swing set in their backyard. It is nice to have them so close because it feels like your yard is much bigger than it really is. So, we spent the morning out there and then Grandma just happened to have lunch for us. Yeah, we love Grandma. Dakota is worn out now and went right to sleep when we got home. Yeah, I get a few moments to do some things. I guess I better go get them done.





TC and AJ having some fun!


It won't be long before these are real country boys!


Dakota is enjoying the nice weather, too!


Nice! Crusty boogs!

Just what are little boys made of...Snips, snails, and puppy dog tails.

Well, we had our first visit with our new doctor yesterday. She is awesome. I think I like her better than any doctor I have ever had and that is a lot. Anyway, I will also be seeing a Perinatologist next week for the High Risk factor. We also had our ultrasound done yesterday. We have a very active boy waiting to come see everyone. We are both excited and can't wait to welcome him into the world. Okay, I can wait until June. TC and AJ are both very excited that they will have a baby brother. Dakota will be excited someday, I am sure. I love my little brother!

A Work In Progress!

Okay, for those who wanted to see some pics of the house, I finally took some. Keep in mind that I have 3 little children and that getting any time to do much of anything is very little. So, I have to tell you that last night at about 2:30 AM I felt something warm and wet on my belly. I woke up to AJ's bum right against my stomach. HE PEED ON ME! What a turkey? So, I didn't want to wake Steve up so I sent AJ upstairs to change and get into his own bed and then I had to lay a towel under the sheets and over the sheets so that I could make it through the night. Maybe you think I am gross for going back to bed in it but what else was I to do. So anyway, I made my bed really fast for this picture and then I had to tear it apart again so that I could wash those darn sheets. YUCK! Oh, the life of a MOM!

The culprit!




Master bath!


Looking into dining room from front door!

It was Steve's idea to paint the kitchen red and I like it! Not something I would have been bold enough to do on my own! Well, maybe!

This is our living room in the making! My brother and Steve designed and built our entertainment center. We will eventually add tall bookcases to both sides. Good Job Guys!

What? I am doing this at midnight. I am Psycho!

This is our house according to TC. Notice that there is no snow and we have sunshine!!!!!!!
Okay, so I should be asleep right now because I need it so badly. I have been sick ever since we left Idaho. I get over one thing and it leads right into another. My latest was a sinus infection that is clearing up now. I am sure it has nothing to do with my immune system or my lack of sleep. I didn't think life could ever be this busy but guess what it will only get busier with another child.

So, I am sure you will all want to know that the leaders in our ward are so happy to see us (ha, ha) that we already had been asked to serve before our records showed up and yes, I have already given a talk and we have both had to say prayers in sacrament. TC was suppose to give a talk in primary tomorrow but I couldn't do it. I had to finally turn something down. Am I such a sinner now? Dakota also had pnemonia the week I had to give my talk! Yeah, for church service. I promise I will not go inactive. Steve was wondering if it was too late to start going to the Seventh Day Adventist church!! ha ha! We do love our ward though.

We will also get some pics of the house. We took some when we were moving in but I haven't had time since we have arranged our furniture and put pics on the walls.

As for the pregnancy, I have an appointment for the 6th. Hopefully, they will do an ultrasound and we can find out the sex of the baby. I will be happy either way but we have to know what color to paint the bedroom you know. All else is good except those dreaded shots and not ever completely getting well! Any suggestions?????
