Better weather

We got a sprinkling system put in finally. We figured we are still going to live here for quite a while and got a good deal, our Bishop and his son did it. So the kids were out helping pick up rocks. Logan finally is going to church with us. I've been letting him stay home to nap since Jer is home, but I realized he is getting too old and needs to get used to nursery. The first two Sunday's he wouldn't stay in there and I had to teach so he sat with our class. He sat quietly though cause I told him he couldn't talk or play unless he was in nursery. The other kids can't help but look at him though. But last week we got new nursery leaders (an answer to my prayers actually) and one of the leaders helped him to stay. He fell asleep (after screaming for 10 min.) and when he woke up, he just sat on the leaders lap. I was so grateful. I hope he does it again next week cause I'm doing sharing time and I'm teaching! Isn't he cute in his Sunday clothes though? I got that shirt at Wal-mart for only 3 dollars!
The other day I was up in my room getting dressed and I swore I could hear a piano. This is what I found when I came down. He just smiled at me and kept playing. It was so cute.
This week he figured out that he can swing on these swings if he goes on his tummy. I know I say it too much but I can't help it. He's so cute!

What a boy! Even if he pushes around a pink stroller and wears a girls hat. He put shovels in the stroller.

Cheesy! You can't tell good here but Kylee got a sunburn on her face at the zoo.

Logan brought in this basket with a baby covered up with a blanket. He was peeking in to ask if she was o-k. (I think he sees mom's do this a exercise)

The next minute he was shooting me!

This shirt probably makes me look bigger than I am but I know that I have gotten bigger in only the last couple of days. My garment tops won't stay tucked in anymore. I might have to wear my uncomfortable maternity ones. Then at the store the cashier was talking to Summer and Logan asking if they were going to have a baby sister or brother. Summer said sister and she said, its looks like it will be pretty soon. I laughed and said I still have 3 more months. She looked so surprised. It was funny.

The Zoo

Kylee got to go on her first real field trip yesterday. Last year in Kindergarten she got to go to the Red Barn here in town and pick a pumpkin and eat a locally grown apple. But that was quick and here in Santaquin. Yesterday she got to go to the Zoo. I didn't sign up in time to be a parent volunteer and go for free with her. I could have still driven and paid to get in but, there's no way I could have afforded it. It was so hard sending her off in the morning. I packed her some snacks and water and sunscreen and told her about 20 times to stay by an adult. Then at 3:25 when she gets home I went out and waited on the front lawn for her. She just said "Hi" when she saw me like "today was no big deal." So I asked her how it was and she was so excited that she got to see a Rhinoceros! Then she named about 20 other animals, (including a spider monkey). She had so much fun, and was safe. The only thing is that she forgot until too late to put sunscreen on her face and she has a bit of a burn today. Today is Field Day so I sent her with more sunscreen and a visor to wear (and a note in case her teacher says she can't wear it)
She sure seems so grown up to me lately. I can't believe she's closer to being a teenager than to a baby. Crazy.

Speaking of baby, my tummy is feeling so big. The baby moves so much more lately. I think she is just bigger so I can feel it better! I love it. The only hard thing is heartburn, but I have yummy fruit flavored tums that still help so I can deal with that. Three more months today! I can't believe it. Next thing I know and it will already be August! How exciting!

6 months

So by these pictures I can't tell if I look any bigger. But two days ago I noticed that I definitely feel bigger. I was trying to reach to put the key in and start the car and it was very hard. I still have 16 weeks to go though. I love to feel the baby move. I try to picture what she looks like. For some reason I keep seeing dark hair and dark eyes. It's probably wishful thinking. She'll probably come out super blond like Kylee or an adorable red head. Jeremy's genes are too strong. Of course she'll be beautiful no matter what. It's hard to explain how I feel about this being my last pregnancy. I know without a doubt it's right and I look forward to no more diapers and having them all in school, etc. But at the same time it's kind of sad to know that this will be the last time I feel this. I won't have any excuses for how much I eat or how much I weigh! Oh well. Such is life. I love this stage in my life, seeing how much my kids learn everyday. I want to enjoy it as best I can. It is going by so dang fast. I keep thinking about my parents and how they are all alone now, but they were here once. And I sure to them it was not long ago. I do get excited when I think about being with Jeremy alone someday. (I don't know if he feels the same way!) Of course I also look forward to doing the things I love to do, all by myself. Even when the kids are gone you need time alone, right?


Well I don't know what got into me. Sorry about all that. I guess I have been thinking too much lately! Anyway, just to let you know, Kylee was o-k last Monday. It must have been something she ate. Then yesterday, the poor kid, she had to have two baby molars pulled. She did so good though. The shots were the worst part. It bled for about 4 hours, but then she ate a sandwich and jello and marshmallows. And she said she ate salad and carrots today at lunch. She 's a tough kid. We have to go back on the 12th to get space maintainers. She had to do this once before, so it will be easy.


Sorry if I bored you all, I guess I'll go make (or heat leftovers) for dinner now. Jeremy had to take his Uncles and his horses to get their shoes redone, so he won't be home till late. He can make his own dinner (he,he)
