Our BABY News

We are having a baby girl! YES I cried when I saw her on the ultra sound. This was the hardest secret I have ever had to keep(Even though my mom kept asking me-i think she had figured me out!) Oh and I told my sister when I found out cuz I had to tell someone!-But it was such a suprise to us that I became pregnant that I just kept thinking maybe I really wasn't! Our LAST baby and baby GIRL is due on November 16th!

I am so excited but I have had some big anxiety moments as well. "Can I handle three children?" Especially with Stocky?! Any advice for me? It sure can keep me up at night!

We are also blessed because my sister inlaw is having a baby girl in July so our baby girl is always going to have a friend and cousin close by!

Payton asked me this morning if it was time for her to come out today! Thank goodness we told him when I am half-way done or it would be even longer for him!! Stocky has no clue~! ha ha

Happy Anniversary Honey

Wow!! 8 years honey! I love you tons!

Don't Cry MOM

Wow I've been a slacker on the blog. I am way behind-but here is one big event this week that has had me tears! PAYTON graduated from preschool and also had his kindergarten screening this week. Payton was so pumped as so was I-but when I walked into the BIG school for his screening-I felt my eyes fill up with the tears!

Payton's preschool teacher read this poem to us at his graduation-"Thoughts at the Bottom of a Beanstalk." If you have time look it up and read it-it's great. It sums it up for me- My boy is growing up-I want to follow him and see if he is ok-but I know today I have to wave goodbye and let him go on and start practicing something too:--Cheering him ON!

Girls Weekend/SHAQ

I had such a sweet and special weekend with my mom and sister. We got to spend two days together without any (children)!! It was so fun-we ATE-saw MOVIES-had a SPA day-shopped until we dropped and just talked!! Thanks mom so much for making this happen for us! And for my hubby for letting me go!

One of the highlights also was that I saw Shaq in Little America Hotel. I asked him for his autograph-but he declined! He was not very nice-but it was still awesome. (I wish I would have told him how much my husband loves him and has loved him since his college days-but he was defintely not in the mood!!)

Potty Trained!

What a sigh of relief-Stockton is done with diapers!I love that feeling even though it's lots of work to get there! Ya-hooooo



PS-Our camera is out of comission right now or I would share with you how cute he looks in his big boy underwear!!

Payton's Grandparent Day

At Payton's preschool they had a Hawaiian grandparent day! Payton loved it!! Payton is so lucky to have ALL his grandparents involved in his life. I am so grateful they all made time for him!

I LOVED him and now I DON"T like Him (The Bachelor)

Call me crazy but I loved this show until last night. Does anyone else know what I am talking about-?? I feel so bad for Melissa! I did get to go to a fun bachelor party last night-but we were all so bummed!! I am never going to watch this show again-PLEASE-everyone remind me when I want to watch next season again!!

Three Cups of Tea

This is an awesome book! It makes me want to be a better person! It moves pretty slow sometimes but if you stay patient with it-it is an amazing book!

Weekend Trip

THANK-YOU for a great weekend everyone! It was such a fun-stressful-crazy weekend. We had 17 people between some of my fam and some of Jacks family-it was hard trying to make everyone happy but I hope we did! I had a great birthday! My family did so much for me! My husband is so great and such a great guy. My parents and my inlaws are wonderful like always and My sister did SOOO much for me and suprised me so much-thanks!!! She even got me a black cake (even though I think I'm not OVER the hill yet) ha ha-The boys loved the Monster Trucks~!

Family Fun

Can I just say how much I love my Payton. He has been so enjoyable this past year. I wish I could skip the 1-3 year old stage-because I love it now-but I know I have some tough years ahead of me! We are ready for Valentines Day in our house (besides the fact that I will be 30 on that day) YIKES-and my sister is already sending me cards reminding me of it~! But we are going to party in SLC-which I need a getta away so bad-I hope this week goes by fast!!!!


We went bowling two weekends in a row! What a fun family night! Except for Stockton wanted a turn all the time (he was kind of hard) but Payton loved it!! I loved the bumpers!--Sorry the stocky picture is turned-I'm to lazy to fix it!

Call me CRAZY-But I LOVE it!

Families Are Forever

I just wanted to say a quick thank you to all my friends and family that helped me get through these past two weeks with out my hubby and the worst part being that Payton got so sick.

Thanks to my parents-they truly gave me so much support-they were always at my house helping me with cooking meals- grocery shoping for me-playing with Stocky-giving me a break-and just being there for me-during doctor visits and so forth. Thanks to my sister that I could call and she would calm me down and answer my questions. I couldn't ask for better parents!

I"m also thankful for my inlaws. They were also here to support me and the kids(food-toys-magazines for me since I couldn't leave the house with Payton etc). Jace my brother in law and my father inlaw would babysit so I could go work out. My sister inlaw Nichole(I'm so grateful for good sister/friend inlaws)-I could always talk to her and she would make me feel better and Jordy my brother inlaw for always playing with my boys and making Payton feel better.

I also have good friends that brought Payton fun things to do and yummy food! I am so grateful for my father in heaven for giving me such wonderful families-and for bringing my hubby back home from his training-and for Payton finally getting better!

Payton has Pneumonia

Help-Payton has been so sick this week-his temp has been around 103 and has had a really bad cough. Today they finally diagnosed him with Pneumonia-I have to watch him really close the next couple of days to make sure they don't have to hospitalize him. Has anyone gone through this with their kids? I need some help-advice? The poor guy-hopefully his antiboticis will start working quick and I can keep him home. I would have never made it through this without my parents! The worst part is that Jackson is so far away-(I think that makes everything worse)
