Why So Serious?

Keena and Malea just returned from Ecuador with these creepy masks in tow. Drew doesn't like getting his picture taken right now but he sure had no problem posing in a scary mask! Creepy...(I was not there. Their father is responsible for this!)

Random Pics

First meeting with Livvy

My super heroes!

Drew took this pic. It reminds me of pictures of my brothers when they were my boys age.

She's Here!!!

She is the most precious baby! The delivery was my easiest yet! They called me in around 9:30am so we arrived around 10 and I was induced around 11.

True labor kicked in around 2 and by 3 I had the epidural! Greatest invention on Earth! My other boys I didn't get to enjoy the wonder of the epidural and this time I took advantage. I was actually coherent when she came and could enjoy the after birth experience! I only pushed twice and the doctor told me she was out! She was born at 4:12pm and looked absolutely beautiful!

Our first night was great she only cried because she had a wet diaper. Those of you who knew my boys when they were babies know that they definately were not quiet! First night home was great other than she doesn't like to be alone in her crib. She lets out little yelps to tell me to come and get her! I love having her now and am so proud to share her with all of you! I guarantee more pictures are to come!!

You Are Pocahantas!

Free-spirited and wise. You have a strong passionate spirit that touches and changes all who know you. The wisdom and common sense that you have is really what guides you through life. Even so, you also have a very playful side that loves adventure and excitement.

Which Disney Princess Are You?

There is an END!!

So I went to the doctors today and set my inducement date! There is an end! I'm so ready to have this baby out considering I'm uncomfortable I can only imagine being squished inside a tiny oven! So Tuesday July 29th we will be in the hospital having a baby! I'm so excited to see her and as Ryan says "I can't wait to hold her head only!"

Ikea Park

The new park on Dixie Drive has been called the "Ikea Park" which is such a suitable name! It is the craziest thing! I called it the Daddy Park because most of the little toys I had no idea how they worked. I probably put the boys on them wrong so now they are terrified of the hanging teeter totter and other toys. This time we took Nick and the boys had so much fun running around showing daddy all the cool toys it has there! Enjoy!

Ah Yes This is Thee Life!

This past weekend was packed with excitement! Friday night Nick took the boys up to Beaver Canyon for some quality father son time and boy did my boys love it! Sorry no pictures of that one (since I wasn't there to take any). With the boys all gone that meant I had one last night to myself. I took advantage! I hung out with my fam and then came home and just lazed about. It was great!
Saturday we were able to see The Dark Knight which I loved! It's been great getting time with just Nick and I since the baby is coming so soon!
Sunday we went up to Zion and on the way there made a pit stop to Grafton, Utah. We'd never been there and it was quite the experience. I really enjoyed myself!





The boys liked the older buildings and it was surrounded by a farm with cows and horses. I was surprised how well preserved it was!



After Grafton we made our way to Zion to drive through the tunnels. The boys love to do their evil laugh when we go through. All in all it was a great family day! I love days like that!

Batman!

Nick and I were able to have one last hoorah before baby comes, our choice of activity? Nananananananananana BATMAN! Seriously it was such a great movie! It kept us entertained the entire 2 1/2 hrs! Heath Ledger was brilliant as Joker and scared me silly! I'm sad that he is gone because from this performance you started to see his true acting genius. So I would highly recommend this movie! Thanks fam for watching the boys while we went!

My brother Mike returned from Japan this week and his sweet wife Miwa packed the boys an amazing gift that you can't find here in the states! These are Jinbeis and they are the sweetest pajamas ever! They were so excited to wear them! Thanks Mike and Miwa!! They also gave me some awesome formula from Japan...I should post a picture of the packaging because everything is so cute!

The countdown is on! I only have 3 weeks left and could not be more ready! I'm tired of all the "joys" of pregnancy. So for all those who read this please send thoughts of labor my way! I really won't mind. It's far too hot in this desert for a pregnant woman!

Last night I was able to go to Les Miserables at Tuachaun! Being 8 months pregnant does not make it the most comfortable time to go but the play was good. I loved the actors that portrayed Eponine, Marius, Javier and the small role of The Priest. It was fun going with Mom, Dad, Keena, and Aunt Elaine (it was her birthday). Also nice to get away from the boys for a night before the baby comes!

Swimming

Today we were able to go to the SHAC for some swimming and fun. My parents threw a party for their employees and I'm lucky enough to be one for just a few more weeks. The boys love swimming and would have stayed all day if we would have let them. They were also so happy to have me come along since I don't like to swim all that much. Ryan made sure to come and give me a hug to keep me cool. Thanks mom and dad for a fun day at the pool!

It's a Start...

I figured it's about time to start my blog. I wanted to do it before baby #3 arrives so I'm 4 weeks ahead of schedule...yay me! We just celebrated the 4th and had lots of fun. Ryan rode his bike at the parade in front of my parent's house. Drew was content on watching from the four wheeler with Keena. After breakfast we headed to the park for the annual games and fun. Too hot for a 8 month pregnant mom but the boys loved all the games and bounce houses. Finished the day off with a BBQ with Nick's fam and then off to watch the firework show! Gotta love the 4th!
