Baby #3

Yep! We're pregnant! Baby #3 is on the way. Holy Cow! I'm around 14 weeks along and due December 26th. Great timing, huh?! I'm sure I'll go early with this one...the doctor wants a Christmas, too. We had just told our family, too, after taking a nice needed trip to Utah. Just before that we had gone to the doctor and everything was okay. Peyton says it's a "Baby boy," and Kylie says it's a "Baby girl." Of course.

Things are a little different after a couple babies. I pop out a little sooner than before. With Kylie I didn't start showing till about 5 months (I know, lucky) but I already have a bump and some shorts don't fit. :( This one I was more sick. Still luckily never throwing up, but still nauseous from morning till night. And that gets hard with moving, chasing 2 kids, stress, and everything else. I'm glad to say that it has eased off a bit, thank goodness.

We will keep you updated with all the baby news. We have a long ways to go. 3 kids...excited but very nervous all at once!!!!!

P.S. In the picture the baby is looking down in the far right. It was nice getting a clear picture already and seeing everything formed so soon.

Pedicure Time

So tonight I got my very first pedicure...ever! Can you believe it?! Where have I been? It was much needed and I am definitely going to be getting these more often. What have I been doing? Why haven't I gotten one before? Well, I have now and I can now join the pedicure lovers. :) Maybe next time Chris could come with me. He DEFINITELY needs one! :)

Pictures of our house

I promised some pictures to some of you. So, here are a few, well, a lot of, pictures of our house. It's boring to show just the room, so I made Kylie and Peyton get in each picture. They liked that.

The front room ... connected to a formal dining room, after you walk in the house.

The kitchen...Kylie doing one of her moves from dance class. We love our cabinets...we were glad these were the style that came with this house.
The family room ... on the other side of the wall is that formal dining room, just so you can get a feel.
Our master bed...we got new bedroom furniture and are so excited.
Our master bathroom.
Who's room is this? Oh, yeah, Kylie's!

Peyton's blue room. He "graduates" to that big boy bed when he completely potty trains...he is on his way. Getting there!

The play room. I was so glad to have a room to make just for toys. The kids love it. This room connects to a balcony where the kids ABSOLUTELY love playing. They go out there by themselves and play "camping," or whatever else they have in mind that day. They enjoy it!

And, last, but not least, a picture of just the kids. They wanted a cute picture together. :)

We like our house and are glad things worked out. Right now, I am a little bummed trying to figure out where things are and I am missing all the parks everywhere where we used to live (since we go there all year round...seriously!!!). We were just spoiled with the tremendous parks and how huge and nice they are, but we will find ours, too. Just takes time, huh?! Okay, now I need some serious advice with decorating tips. What should I do? How do I do it? I would like some help, please. Thanks for reading this all!!!

We're in!!!

This move was really exhausting. Even though we complained a lot about our last move, we had it easy, I think. But this time it was just hard. It seems like we have a ton of stuff, but it's all stuff we need...really. :) I'm just glad to have normal food around the house, now, too. It wasn't very fun trying to make meals with little food so you don't have to move as much, eating with no time, and being tired. So, I am glad we will have normal meals now...it's crazy how food can lift you up or bring you down. But.....

We are finally in our new house! Tired, but in! 3 of our friends came on last Tuesday night (the 20th) and helped Chris move some of the big things...basically took a whole load. (We rented a Uhaul). Then the Elders Quorum came on Wednesday night (I know, American Idol Finale Night, but somehow we recorded it and watched it later) and helped us then. However, only 2 of them came to the actual house to help unload so that took awhile. We realized that not everything fit STILL and Chris had to go back to the house for a last load all by himself around 10pm. I went and picked up the kids at a neighbors house and got them to bed. Tuesday night they went to bed at 10pm. Wednesday they got to bed at 11pm--but were so excited to be in their new rooms. Chris brought the last load by himself at 12:30am. I helped him unload it. Then we had to take the Uhaul back, so as scary as this sounds, it was the only thing we could have done. We put one of our phones on speaker phone in between the 2 kids bedrooms and left them in the house so we could take the truck back (Chris needed a way home so I needed to go too). I held the phone the entire time listening, but luckily none of them made a sound. So...........we finally got to bed around 2:30-3:00am. Peyton so happily woke up at 6:45am. Bummer. That night was hard, too, because we woke up a lot of times for different reasons. One being that Kylie kept falling off her bed. We fixed that problem the next morning and put her bed next to the wall...we didn't realize that it wasn't before. It also was a bummer that Peyton woke up so early because he has been such a sleeper lately. He has been going to bed at 7:30pm and waking up at 8:30-9am or so. Then takes a 3 hour nap. We don't know where that came from all of a sudden, but we'll take that ANY day.

Anyways, so that (Thursday) morning Kylie HAD to go to dance class. We had to leave here by 9am. After dance class I went with the kids to our old house and cleaned cleaned cleaned. Then finally went home afterwards and got a nap. It has been a long couple days, but we are finally in. We have even taken it slow, but realized we are 3/4ths of the way through our boxes. We are so glad that Chris had a long weekend away from work...and he was, too to not have to do SO much all at once. We are glad we are here and love our new house. I'll send pictures when I have more time. :)

Another run

Before the race...

I'm in the front (well, the back of this picture, but front of the line) by all the pink and white balloons. Can't you see me?! :) At the finish.

This run was huge!!! There were so many people there. It was the Susan G. Koman, Race for the Cure. Just for the timed 5K, there were 8500 people. I finished 17th of the whole women. It seems when there is a ton of people, you seem to get a better time because all the adrenaline. I did good, but my stomach was hurting the whole time, so I knew I could have even done better. I know, I'm competitive. The last minute some women caught up to me and passed me, and that bums me out because I usually kick it in that last bit. But, I had a great time, and now, of course, want to beat my time again.

Chris' Dad

This past weekend, Chris' dad, Brad, was visiting some property he owns in northern Nevada. He was on his farm with his friend and he was riding his 4-wheeler, going about 40 mph. It hit a deep hole and he fell off and it trampled over him. He was in the middle of nowhere, so it is truly difficult to get help. His friend, who happened to be the bishop, gave him a blessing then went to go look for help...which he happened to run into somebody on the road...which never happens. After laying there in pain for 3 hours the ambulence got him and took him to a small first aid place. In the middle of the night they flew him over to Las Vegas to get real help in a hospital. So, we were able to see him. He broke 6 ribs, his leg, and totally ruined his ankle. They had to do surgery on him and put pins in his ankle. So, he is in pain, but he was able to go home Sunday night. Michele, Cody, and Megan came up to see him, too. So, it was a visit which you hope doesn't come that way, but we were still glad to see everybody, and be able to help Brad. So keep him in your prayers!

His family had to let Brad rest and sleep and couldn't stay in the half room all day, so we went out to dinner with everybody (even though we all felt bad for leaving him...but he needed his rest). So, of course we went to Cheesecake Factory.
