update

So, I went to the Dr's yesterday and I am still only 1 cm dilated and nothing else is going on. Since he will be out of town for the second half of next week, we are going to get induced on April 1st at 0730 at St Rose Siena. So we will see if he comes this weekend or if he wants to be an April Fools baby! It will be nice because K.C. will be on Spring Break next week and Kobi has 2 weeks of track break. Nice family time.

So here is an update of our family! Thank goodness Cortney let me borrow her camera. I just got mine in the mail. I ended up buying through Costco.

K.C. is the Choir Director at church and Kobi got a hold of the camera during practice. The choir did such a good job on Sunday. I LOVE my husband's voice! It is truly amazing. (And I am tone deaf!)



Took the kids bowling for Spring Break.




Painted eggs at Grandma's on Sat.



Started easter Sunday with an Easter Egg hunt in the house.







She loves her dog!


One week before due! Easter Sunday.




Baby Keatyn did not know what was going on! We took too many pictures. :)




The kids had fun on Sunday at K.C.'s parent's house with an Easter Egg hunt.




Look who is in Boy Scouts!



The Baby's room is done! Yeah! I'm soooo thankful K.C.'s family helped with the painting!

update

My camera died so I'm waiting for my new one to come in the mail. I had a friend, Cortney, lend me hers just in case I have the baby before my camera comes. Thank goodness. It would have been so sad to not have any hospital pictures. The baby room is done. I can't wait to post pictures. I just need to get my camera going or I will have to post later when I get the pictures from Cortney's camera loaded. I just received the cutest sling. I'll have to post pictures later as well.

I went to the Dr's yesterday and nothing is going on. I did not want to be induced this time because I think that the Dr's and nurses can get C-section happy, but I found out my Dr will be out of town the first week of April. So we agreed that if I do not go natural by April 1st, I will get induced on April 1st before he goes out of town. I've heard of some ways to try to "safely" put yourself into labor. Any other suggestions?

Shower

This was a late post, but I had such a fun shower on March 1st. Cortney and Ashley did such a great job. A lot more creative then I am! Thanks for all who came and made it special.

On another note: The Rebels won the Mountain Western Conference Championship! I know it was on our court, so home court advantage, but the Rebels had nothing to do with that. It was a fun game.

Just waiting

So tomorrow is my 5 year anniversary with my hubby! It's crazy! I heard the first 5years are the hardest. I hope this is true because that would mean I really didn't go through much hard times at all. I have a fantastic husband and marriage. He allowed me to get a new digital camera (It's on the way. It was way cheaper buying on-line then at Best Buy.) because my old camera's batteries would drain so quickly that I spent a lot of money on batteries. I can't wait to get it this week. He is also finally painting the baby's room tomorrow morning. Yeah! I will post pictures (I hate doing things at the last minute.). Finally, he donated blood today at school so he could get us tickets to a comedy show at Planet Hollywood. Nice cheap date (just how I like it). We probably won't do anything tomorrow night because my husband's second love (or sometimes I think first!) are the UNLV Rebels, and they might be in the conference tournament tomorrow afternoon. We will find out tonight after the Rebels take on Utah.
I have been feeling well. I have just started feeling uncomfortable at night. I forgot how many times you have to go to the bathroom near the end. It's so annoying. I am also getting more leg cramps (annoying as well), and my back is starting to hurt at night. On the upside, I am glad I am feeling well overall and that the baby is healthy.

Princess pictures

A couple of more Princess pictures!

Xayla's Princess Party

Xayla is turning 3 March 1st. We had a lot going on that day, so we decided to have her princess party one week earlier. It was a lot of fun. We decorated crowns, painted the kids' nails, did their hair, made bracelets, colored, etc.

Understanding the Secret Baby language

This was pretty neat. On the Oprah show this lady said that babies can speak 5 words. If you know these 5 words, you will understand your baby. I'm excited to see if it works on our new little one. Try it, you new Moms to be! Or you new Moms.

Last Lecture

Someone e-mailed me this, and it I really needed to watch it. This gentleman speaks about if you had one last lecture to give, what would it be. I need reminders like this to put things into perspective. I feel blessed to have a great marriage, to have a healthy family, great friends, and so much more. I sometimes get in a rut and complain about everything. I actually should have nothing to complain about considering all that I have been blessed with. I hopes this lightens up your day as it did mine.

Also, can someone tell me how to make my header smaller? And cuter? Thanks.

New covers

Yes, Xayla is using some of Kobi's old covers. Her birthday is coming up. Maybe she will get her own Princess cover! :)

Some changes

Had one of my missionaries come into town with his wife and daughter. We spent some time at Michelle's. It was a fun weekend!





We had to make some changes due to #3. Xayla is in her own bed now! Kobi came in to cheer her on! What a nice big brother.

30 wks and 34 wks

I can't believe it is coming sooo fast!

Our Car

Sara, K.C.'s sister, had her baby! So cute! Keatyn. Michelle, you (and your sister) will be next. Then, me!




Disney on Ice! It was so fun!





So, K.C. went to California to get our van! Nissan Quest 2007. Love it!

Brian Head and more pictures

Two posts in 1 day. A record for me. I have to get all my blogging in before the new teaching semester starts for me next week!

I had to work on New Years Eve, but the kids had fun with K.C.!



We were brave enough to try Brian Head as a family trip. It was not how I imagined. We spent more time I think trying to get our clothes on then Kobi spent skiing. Kobi went on the lift 4 times and then started crying for hot chocolate. Xayla cried almost the whole time. She wanted me to hold her. I thought we would play with the snow and tube a litte. It did not happen. She ended up taking a nap in the lodge on a bench on my lap for 45 minutes. I just watched people walk by. I should have brought a book. She did go outside and touch the snow a couple of times after her nap. The pictures were of course after her nap. It was cold. We are going to try it again next year. I hope I will be more comfortable since I will not be pregnant. We are not taking the baby of course. Heh, at least we tried :). It was difficult finding clothes for Xayla. We shopped around. Waterproof pants and gloves were the hardest to find. I found the gloves at Target and the pants at Mevyns.







They thought that this pose they did was soooo funny.



That's Kobi for you.



She is so skinny. Everything falls off her hips. I remember when it was like that before I had kids. Kids give you hips and a butt.



Love/Hate Relationship!

29 weeks

My due date is officially March 30th! I'm excited an nervous for #3. We went looking for mini vans yesterday. I REALLY like the Toyota Sienna 8 seater. I love my Toyotas. I'm going to the Dr's every 2 weeks now! That is crazy.

I have been excited that I have actually been keeping up with my New Years resolutions (Getting up earlier, organizing more, reading scriptures, etc.). I already went through the kids' clothes to get rid of what was too small. I need to make room for the little one. We are having such a hard time with names with this one.

I am so glad that I pulled Kobi out of Cunningham and now he is back at Iverson. It's amazing the difference a child will perform in a more positive environment. I believe that it is very important to have your child in a good school especially if they already have a difficult time in an area (Math for Kobi).

Happy New Year

Life has been a little crazy around here. I am doing some rearranging of the house trying to get things ready for the semester and the new one. I hope everyone had a great Christmas and a Happy New Year! I have lot's of goals I am working on. I heard it's better not to set too many goals so you are not setting yourself up for failure. I set some little ones as well, so it should be OK as long as I reach most of the little ones :). We are going to look at cars today. I'm excited.

These pictures are from K.C.'s parent's house. Santa came. They got new bikes!!!






Here is the latest pregnancy picture. I am 28 weeks and K.C.'s sister is 38 weeks.

Do you think Xayla liked the Dentist?



Opportunity Village




The Polar Express





Ward Christmas party

The Polar Express

So, I want to first thank Michelle for warning us about the weather (cold and snow). We were well prepared. I also want to note that the Polar Express was very fun, but I am not sure if it is worth the price. I would be willing to do it every year if it was cheaper for what you get. Just my opinion. Kobi is older and was actually questioning many things. He did say that he saw the Real Santa because Santa had a Real beard. He also said "No one is going to believe me that I saw Santa!" Now some of the not so good highlights:
1. A child directly behind us threw up shortly after the train left the station. It smelt really bad for almost the whole ride. Not very pleasant. It was crowded too, so we really couldn't move.
2. Opportunity Village had way more lights than the North Pole. The movie and the book The Polar Express makes you think of LOTS of lights, for the price your pay, I think there should be more lights.
3. We had a baby in the room next to us the screamed almost all night long. It was sooooo loud. Also since almost everyone that goes to the North Pole stays at the same hotel, it was loud. There were always doors slamming and kids running down the hallway. Maybe we shouldn't have taken the bottom floor by one of the door entrances.
4. Someone that had the room before us thought it would be funny to set the alarm on the clock to go off at midnight. So we were woken up by the loud beeping alarm at midnight in between all of the baby crying.

Overall, it was great hanging out with the family. Xayla liked the ride to the North Pole, but she was ready to get off soon after. I'm just not sure if it is worth what it costs. Maybe it's better in larger groups? I think we are just going to take a family ski trip next year. Just my opinion.

I'll post pictures when I get around to downloading them.

The Polar Express

We are going to the Polar Express tomorrow. We are so excited. I'll post more later. We are doing well. I'm starting to get uncomfortable especially if I eat too much. I feel like I can't breath. The fun is just starting. :)

Confirmed

My poor boy was a princess, but now he is a man :). Today my Dr. confirmed that we are having a boy. I'm feeling great and we are doing well.

The Holidays

Wnet to Ethel M Factory to visit Santa and to look at the lights for free over Thanksgiving weekend. My sister, Sonyo, came into town. I'm about 20 weeks along in the pictures. I go for my Dr. apt. on Dec 17th to check again if it's a boy or girl. I'll keep you posted. I am so glad the semester is over for teaching. I need a break. My house is a mess.
