Blowing Out the Candles


Once you get to a certain age it stops mattering how many candles are on there... Dillon was under the impression (and informed the missionaries at our home the other day) that Brandon turned 17. Happy 17th birthday honey :)
I love you!

GRADES!!!

Okay, so I am feeling a little proud of myself. As a teenager I HATED school. I'm pretty ADD & I am fairly certain I have some minor OCD issues - yeah, like you haven't noticed, and as far as numbers go I think I may have dyslexia... (Brandon thinks I'm just a hypochondriac :) ) But my MAIN problem throughout school is that I was a completely psychotic boy obsessed lunatic! I couldn't focus for longer than two seconds without a stupid boy distracting me. Well now I only have the one 'boy' distracting me - well, I guess 3 boys... And he has mellowed me significantly!!! I'm 100% positive I couldn't have gone back to school without him - he's my rock :) I did pretty well, granted they were rather easy classes and I only took the two and knew I wouldn't be able to take anymore once we found out this new little one was on the way, but I got to dunk my feet in the water for a little while! And my dunk turned out p r e t t y good, if I do say so myself. Final grades were posted and I got a 3.95!!! For a girl who had a little bit on her plate at that time I am very pleased with the end result!!!

And a shout out to my wonderful man - Happy Birthday Babe!!! I'll get to that post tomorrow once we have pictures :)

A 3 Month Catch Up???

Can you post 3+ months worth of life into one blog entry? Nope. Not even going to try... BUT if I actually go back to updating my blog on a regular (let's face reality here - SEMI regular) basis, I might not have to squeeze in so much! Here goes:


This is our baby boy - he will be arriving around the beginning of August - apparently that is the only month we are allowed to have babies in... We don't know his name yet but everyone is really excited - mainly Kenzie - she is seriously attached to the little guy and so far hasn't held it against him that he is not a girl. Dillon is excited that he is a boy - I think he thinks that means he'll come out liking superheros... disappointment is on the way:) Brandon is excited, basically just excited that we aren't having another girl:) The one we have is apparently enough 'girl' for him - she is a tad bit on the 'spicy' side of the sugar and spice - though she does have both THOROUGHLY mastered!

Baby is always being kissed or patted or talked to, I'm pretty sure he is going to come out thinking Kenzie is his mother... He is a VERY squirmy little fellow and I'm a little nervous about what that's going to mean in the future months, I already am awakened by him wiggling to his little hearts content at 3 am! Every ultrasound - he is going non stop... oh dear.



We've been letting his hair grow out a bit and then came crazy hair day at school and it worked! Interestingly enough, now he won't let us cut his hair. He plays with it constantly and is always either running his fingers through it or combing it - even while sleeping!


She's my little partner in crime, it's so weird to be just her and I, lonely but so FUN! There is a lot of nail painting in our home during the day :)


I let her paint my toenails and fingernails and I believe we have a budding manicurist!


This is the only proof I have so far that I was in school, one of my excuses for seriously neglecting my blog and EVERYTHING else :) Yep, we were painting our nails on my art text book... Grades are posted tomorrow and although I'm not literally holding my breath I kind of am... I signed up for classes before I knew we were pregnant and was babysitting part time and being mom and I REALLY wonder how well I did??? I only did 10 credits - I originally signed up for 15 but Brandon talked me into dropping a class THANK YOU BRANDON!!!!! I'll keep you posted - or maybe I won't... it could be that bad!


Brandon's little bro got married. Brandon was able to fly down to SLC for the weekend and see the happy event while the kids and I sat: miserable, sick, nauseous and throwing up (only for me on that one!), lonely and with homework (not Kenzie...), we increased our bond with Phineas & Ferb... I can't tell you how long that weekend was - wow, are we so pathetic we can't go ONE weekend without him??? I can't tell you who was more excited to go to the airport - the kids or me?
Sorry gals - Tyler's off the market... BUT I HAVE A NEW SISTER!!! I'm so excited. I have to say with my brother and my brother in law's I'm a little nervous about letting them choose wives... Do you think they would let me choose? I am perfectly content to ignore a brother in law who is weird or something but how can I bond with a sister in law that's a wacko??? I've been lucky so far in the sister in law department (w/o any assistance from me) but my bro and Brandon's youngest brother are the weird ones - hmmm, is that possibly why they are single??? :) Kidding, kidding... I love 'em! But really, can they PLEASE marry someone normal, and funny, and my same size (not currently...) with really cute clothes that likes passing them on and wants to live by us, and LOVES babysitting, and is addicted to reading, and likes cooking gluten free food? Is that too much to ask???
