I love this girl...

I freaking love her!!! Tonight Kaylie fell asleep on my lap at 7:15! We usually watch a movie and she drinks her milk starting at 7:00, then I lay her down around 8. Today she only had a 30 min nap, so this is what I got :) I love when she falls asleep in my lap....it doesn't happen too often. She is the type of girl that falls asleep in her crib, when there are no other distractions around. This will have to do for my belly pic for now....31 weeks :)

I am so blessed to have Kaylie. I just love her to pieces. She has the most fun, out-going, spunky personality! Definatley never a dull moment around our house!

Kaylie is 2 and spoiled rotten....she has a tramp. Daniel was saying the other day, "Man, when I was little, I always wanted a tramp. Kaylie is 2 and she already has one!" I think it's more for my sanity than anything else. This girl LOVES to be outside and insists on going out rain, wind, hail or shine! I knew I would be large this summer and not able to chase her in the yard (no fence), so when K-Mart had them on sale, we jumped on it. lol :)

Jumping with daddy

Her hair is always so statiky! (Can't spell it!) Even if I pull it up and use tons of hair spray before we go out, we still get this. She doesn't seem to mind.

The net on the tramp has a little clip thing that you can clip together. She is obsessed with it. She always makes sure it's clamped and zipped up.

Such a serious face!

Just had to add this pic...we do have a normal 2 year old who throws fits FREQUENTLY. I belive this one was because she wanted pop out of the fridge at 7am instead of her milk. WOW!!

We only have about 9, hopefully 7 or 8 weeks til the baby gets here. I am getting more and more large and more and more HOT! Goodness, I'm always hot! It's not even that warm yet. I sleep with "blue" :) and my sheet only. Good thing he's coming when he is, cuz I'm not sure I could hack the heat any longer! I'm still working and doing good...the other day a man told me he was watching me walk down the hall and wasn't sure if I was gonna make it into the pt's room. Guess it must have been at the end of the day and I was waddling a little more than normal! I feel good over-all and am so excited to meet our little guy. We think we have a name, but it changes weekly, so we'll see :)

28 wks...

Well, my friends, here is a belly shot at 28 weeks. I don't love these, but do wish I'd taken more when I was prego with Kaylie, so I'm making an effort to do better with this one. It's crazy to think I'm 7 months along. He'll be here before I know it. I've got A LOT to get done in the next few months.

Here is my little sweetheart. I LOVE her!! She is the cutest little thing ever! She's got a personality like none other. She loves to be outside. Snow, wind, rain, sun- it doesn't matter, as long as we're outside. We bought her a tramp and finally had a decent day to set it up for her. We spent about 4 hrs out there today. She just loves it :)

We are alive!

We've been so busy the past few months! Can't even describe how excited we are for some WARM weather!! It's been so nice to be able to play outside. Kaylie turned 2 on March 22nd. We partied all week long! We went to Phoenix for spring break and stayed with my brother and his family. Kaylie had a blast playing outside and playing with her cousins. This was her actualy Birthday. The 3 of us went to Dabinki to go 4 wheeling. This girl loves the 4 wheeler. We had a blast and was able to enjoy the sun.

This was one of her Birthday parties. This was in Phoenix. She was excited to have all the attention and all the new toys.

We spent the whole week outside. We walked to the park where she had fun on the slides.

I love this pic. I think it's so funny! She's lovin the warm weather. In her swimming suit, with the water on the tramp, and sippy cup of milk. So cute :)

While we were in Phoenix, we went to Peter Piper Pizza. It was so much fun! Kaylie and the girls had a blast. She didn't want to leave.

She is totally all girl. She loves to get in my closet and wear my high heels around the house. She never gets into Daniel's shoes, it's always mine.

For Easter, Kaylie and I went to Blanding. We left Daniel home to study :( We had a lot of fun. It was a little bit colder than we liked, but we still had a blast.

Since it's warmed up, we go to the park a couple times a week. She has so much fun. She always asks to "play", "park". It's so cute. She loves the swings and has no fear.

We've also been to the wave pool! Marci and her boys came down and we took the kids swimming. The wave pool here in Price has a bubble over it, so it's open all winter long. I don't know why I haven't been going all winter...it was so warm inside. Almost hot! The water was perfect and Kaylie loved it.

One more pic from Easter :)

I can't believe my baby is already 2. it just blows my mind how fast time goes by! She was born on Easter weekend, so Easter is always extra special to me :) She is so fun and full of life. Never a dull moment around this house! She loves to play outside. We spend a lot of time at the park and in our yard.

I am now 26 wks along. I can't believe how much faster this pregnancy is going! I still sometimes forget I'm pregnant, then look down at my belly and have a reality check. It's just crazy to think we'll be adding a little boy to this family. I am so excited and can't wait to meet him. I think we have a name...we've been tossing around so many names, but have maybe finally decided on one we both agree with. We'll see when he gets here. I'm still working full time at the Hospital and feel pretty good for the most part.

Daniel has finals and graduation next week, THANK GOODNESS! Man, it's been a rough semester for all of us. We still don't know if he got into the RN program. We'll find out next week hopefully.

Last but not least, Kaylie is gone for a week! She went to Blanding with my parents. She just left today, and it's already so weird and quiet around here. I'm way busy with work this week and Daniel is super busy with studying for finals, so my parents were so sweet to take her down with them. She loves grandma and grandpa and will have a blast.

Update...

The cold weather and 90 feet of snow have us so cooped up in the house, I am just going crazy! This pic was awhile ago...we ventured out one day and played in the snow. We rode the 4 wheeler around the yard. Kaylie loved it :)

The other day I was watching my friend Lindsey's little boy. Kaylie had so much fun with McKade. She had to sit on my lap with her sippy while I fed him a bottle. She was so interested in everything he was doing. She was giving him kisses, playing with his toys, giving him her toys. It was cute. She's gonna be such a good big sister!

This is our morning ritual...she eats cereal in her Dora chair while watching either Phineas and Ferb or Handy Manny. She's so funny.

She loves playing with my shoes! She'll drag them out of my closet all throughout the house. It's funny when she tries to walk in my heels.

Just a cute pic of my baby girl. I can't believe she is going to be 2 this month!! It just blows my mind how fast time has flown by. I am now 19 wks and doing great. My belly has definatley popped out this past wk. We still don't have a name, which drives me crazy. I hate calling him "him", I need a name. Boys are just so hard to name.

We are going to Phoenix in a few weeks for Spring Break. Man, I'm so excited to get away from the cold and snow. We'll go down and stay with my brother and his family. We can't wait to see them and to see the sun and green grass!!

***IT'S A.........***

Last Tuesday I went to Provo for a gender check. My SIL has a OB Dr. up there who will do gender checks (even if you're not a pt there) for $50. Here in Price, I wouldn't get an ultrasound til 20 weeks. I figured finding out 4 weeks sooner would be well worth the $50.
Unfortunatley, Daniel wasn't able to come with me :( They only day we could have made it work with his chaotic school schedule would be Thursday or Friday. Well they don't do gender checks on those days. I told him we could just wait til I was 20 weeks and do it here in Price. He was so sure it was a boy, he just wanted to know.
So I worked it out to have it done when my mom would be there, and Daniel's mom also got to come. It was so awesome. I had Daniel on the phone with me when we got the news that IT'S A BOY!!!! I was totally in shock, and actually, still am. It really happened so fast. It only took like 3 minutes. There was no question, it was definatley a boy! Daniel was soooo happy. He's still on cloud 9!
After the ultrasound, we went to Olive Garden and had lunch. Marci and boss were able to meet up with us so that was fun. Then we headed to the mall to get our shop on! I've never really looked at baby boy stuff, but there really is some cute stuff out there. We got some cute outfits. It made me a lot more excited.
We are struggling with a name....I feel like I need a name so I can bond with him and start calling him his name! With Kaylie, we knew her name the minute we found out she was a girl. This time however, is much more difficult! Let me know if you have any suggestions!!!

And then there were 4....

It's official, we are a family of 3, soon to be 4!! We are expecting our 2nd baby in July. It wasn't really an "oops" or surprise, but definatley happened much faster than we expected, and much faster than Kaylie. Needless to say, we are super excited to add another sweet baby to the fam. I am super excited about having a baby in the summer.

I have felt great so far and have been able to keep working. We find out in 3 weeks what we're having! Daniel swears it's a boy, I'm leaning more towards a girl. Guess we'll wait and see!

I definatley feel the 2nd time around I am getting so much bigger, faster. I have tried to grin and bear it, but wow, it's a down hill battle from here!!!

I am super excited and feel so blessed to be able to have another child :)

Kaylie is growing up!

She's getting so big! She looks so grown up here. Daniel got her this sand box. He went and bought some sand bags, a swimming pool and some toys for her. She loves it. She played in it for like 30 min straight today. Wish we would have done it sooner!!

Kaylie is so getting into her cartoons! She loves Phineas and Pherb (so do I...that cartoon is #1!!), Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Dora, Handy Manny. She likes Spongebob too, but I can't stand it. Plus, I swear it cussed the other day. I re-wound it like 5 times, and it really did swear! Anyway, Kaylie is just growing up right before our eyes. She does something new everyday. She's starting to talk and jabber a lot more. Some of her favs: "what's that", "mama", "g-mama", "go go go", "shoes", "more (with sign language)", "no", "owie". She's so much fun, we just love her to pieces!!
