A while back my friend Kristy tagged me and im finally getting around to doing it so here it is...

7 random things about me...

1) I love being a girl! And all the things that go with that such as getting my nails done and getting pedicures. Those little things in life make me a little bit happier!

2)I love doing hair. And Ive loved it since i was a little girl.

3) Im a procrostinator and i hate that about myself. If anyone has a way for me to be better let me know!!

4) I only have 1 sibling and she is 5 years younger than me.

5) I love my husband Mike with all my heart and soul. Hes the best dad and husband I could have ever hoped for.

6) I have a testimony of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints! Believe it or not the trials that i have endured have actually strengthened my testimony over the last 2 years more than i thought it could.

7) My kids drive me crazy on a regular basis but i would not trade a day in the world without them, i love them so much and cant wait to add another precious baby to our family.

NOw i tag Jana and Savannah

Voted!!

Okay so I am soo proud of myself. I registered to vote for the first time this year and Mike and I went to vote this afternoon. It felt good to be a part of the community and hope that my little measly vote counts. Just thought i would let everyone know what I did today!

Another 4 weeks

Well yesterday i went to my ob appt. It was another 4 weeks gone and i made it!! yay. All is great. The heartbeat was perfect, but the funny thing was is that i had to do the glucose test and about 30 min after i drank the solution, Lincoln started moving like never before. The nurse couldnt hardly find the heartbeat because my stomach was going crazy. And you could hear him moving around in the doppler. So i might have to watch this kid around sugar..haha. Everything else went fine and the doctor wants to see me every 2 weeks now so the time will go by soo fast. And he is gonna give me another ultrasound next time too. So i have a ton to look forward to this next couple of weeks.

Fall break in San Diego

So while Bailee and Bryce had their fall breaks this year we decided to go to Goood ol California! We had soo much fun. I love these trips where we dont really plan anything, its just do what we feel like and alot of relaxing. The only thing we had planned was to go to the san diego zoo. We left arizona on wed afternoon and got to our hotel that night and of course that was the hightlight of our time in cali. The kids just always wanted to go back to the hotel to play. Its amazing the little things that can make my kids happy.

So thursday we ended up at mission beach where the kids got to play at the park and the weather was PERFECT. then we headed down to sit at the beach for a while but my kids arent too fond of the water so we decided to go get some lunch. Of course we had to spend some quality time in the major chlorine filled pool. The that night we ended up in old town sandiego and i had never been there so that was fun to see the historical buildings and the cute little shops.

Us at the beach for 5 minutes!!

Cute preggo pic, I actually look kinda skinny!!




Friday is when we ended up at the zoo and that is seriously the best zoo ever. We were there all day and got to ride the sky ride thing and the tour bus around the park and of course alot of walking.The most amazing part of this zoo trip was the 4 week old gorilla!! Talk about the cutest thing ever, Bailee could not stop talking about that baby all weekend. The fun thing about this gorilla was that when we got to see the baby it was the first showing hes ever had to the public. There was also plenty of other babies at the zoo and lots of other amazing animals.

Baby Gorilla only 4 weeks old!! Look at that hair.

What a cute panda bear.

The family on the skyfari ride, It was so high.


While we were in old town san diego there was soo many mexican food restraunts that i really wanted to eat at and Mike absolutely hates mexican food and i could eat it for every meal. So he compromised with me and told me that saturday for lunch we could eat at one and he would suffer through it(i always get my way...jk) we had so much fun that weekend the kids were soo good. Now bryce always talks about not liking our house he only wants to live in a hotel.

OB appt!

So I totally made it 4 whole weeks for my ob appt!! I didnt even call the doctors office one time. I actually surprise myself sometimes. Mike even told me that ive been doing really good lately not getting anxiety due to this pregnancy. Everything went really good. The hearbeat was 159 which is really good and strong and my weight is... well its the other thing in pregnancy i hate. I hate seeing the numbers get higher and higher each month but im up 10 lbs total so far and i gained 7 of it in 4 weeks..ahhhhhh! i hope next month brings a little better number. But i guess the pumpkin pie and the bread im eating doesnt help!! Other than that i go in 4 more weeks and get to do the glucose test...yay for me. But as bad as that drink is, it lets me know that im getting farther along and thats really reassuring. I can feel Lincoln move all the time now and that is the best thing in the whole world, I love it. So that was my day so far and tonight i get to work really late so i better go rest for a bit.

Bryce is in preschool!!!

I know its been forever since i have blogged but im just not a good blogger. Two weeks ago today Bryce started preschool. I cant believe my baby is old enough for preschool. Time really flys when youre having fun. He was sooo excited to finally go to school like his big sister does. When we dropped him off he didnt even bat an eye over it and was totally fine leaving us for the 2 hours. If any of you know bryce really good you know that he is very much a daddys boy and I as his mom pretty much doesnt exist most days. But I was soo excited to pick him up with dad and bailee and he told me that he missed mommy!! And when mike asked him if he missed him, bryce said "no i only missed my mommy" i seriously wanted to cry, i guess i do exist somewhat in his world. But he did great and really likes it.Its not bad he goes only thursdays and fridays from 11-1:15 so its not too long but just long enough. we are soo proud of him and know he is gonna do just fine in school.

this is his teacher Mrs.Kerry! she is soo sweet and is most definately a preschool teacher. She has soo much energy its amazing! and she is the same teacher that bailee went too as well so she know us really good.

This is Bryce when he finished with school that first day and he still looks happy!!

Funny story

I just hought i would share a funny sotry about a ruby! I know not something you probably want to read about, but the story is pretty good. My mom has had this ruby ring that i have wanted since i was a little girl. It was handed down through the years from my dads side of the family. In my eyes it was the prettiest thing i had ever seen. well about 10 years ago my mother had it changed from a ring into a necklace pendant. I was really upset about it. But i convinced her in the last couple of weeks to give it to me since this ruby came from my side of the family and my mom and day are no longer married. so she finally gave it up. The jeweler that changed the ring 10 years ago looked at it and said it was worth 5000 dollars!!! crazy, so anyways i took it to a jeweler that i know and he looked at it and said it was fake!! WHAT???? so he took it to a ruby expert and that guy said it was fake too. so i immediatley told my mom that shed been had by that jeweler years ago and he stole our ruby. I was distraught. so i had to tell the news to my dad and he said there is no ways that ruby is fake. so my mom in the mean time was trying to think of the guys name who changed the ruby and just couldnt remember. then my dad called back and said he found out through the family that the ruby was indeed a FAKE!!! I started laughing so hard to know that we all accused this poor guy of stealing our stone and i literally cried for this ruby. In the end i dont actually care if it was real or not i just wanted it to be the same ruby that came from the family. which it is thank goodness. my mom owns a sign and t shirt shop and 2 stores down from her is a jeweler so she went in there last week and he had wanted a new sign for something and they were talking about their hobbies and she realized that he is the same jeweler from 10 years ago. Its just crazy how our world works! the whole time that we were thinking he was a thief, he was 2 doors down! crazy. its a story that just makes me laugh when i think about it, just the fact that we were so sad over it and then everything comes full circle.
