We are having another.....

Princess! It's confirmed. It's a girl. Xayla is happy and Kobi is sad. I think it is great that I will have 2 girls close together. K.C.'s sister Sara is having a girl in Jan. as well. Kobi will just be the only spoiled Grandson on K.C.'s side of the family :).

October stuff and update

Went to the Rebel Basketball game this weekend. It was fun. Met up with Spencer and Michelle. I haven't seen Michelle in a long time. It was fun hanging out. I about 20 weeks and Michelle is about 24 or 25 weeks. How exciting. I hope we get together again before we deliver!





Pumkin Patch. The kids loved it.

I love this picture of Xay!


19 weeks along!


Me and my girl! Orange for Halloween.


Dental Christmas party!


Kobi also lost his front two teeth. So all he wants for Christmas is his 2 front teeth! :)


Kobi got new glasses! He just needs to wear them to see the board far away, but he loves them.

Some Halloween pictures.




Baby update: Official ultrasound is going to be this Wed. How exciting. Things are going well. I am 20 weeks now! Half way there! It has gone so fast this time. I think because it's #3.

Preschool

I have been really interested in creating some kind of schedule for Xayla with some learning activities, but had no idea where to start. I browsed the internet and found this cool article at this website: (I do not know why the link is not working. I must not know what I am doing.)http://www.heav.org/basicinfo/preschoolathome.html



The website that was really neat was

Check it out. Just thought I would share.

Update

Nothing really new here. I love the holidays. I have been really trying to appreciate things more. I can't wait until next month to find out what we are having. School has kept me really busy. I decided to do something for myself, so I'm taking a short writing class starting the first week of Nov. I'm excited about that. I gave up lia sophia. I just have too much on my plate, and it's just not me. It is a good company. My laptop crashed, so I had to buy a new one last week. I am so glad I have a functioning computer now. Not so happy about having to pick up extra shifts at the hospital to cover for it, but I feel blessed that I can do that if I need to. I grade a LOT of papers. Baseball season is almost over for Kobi. I feel bad that I didn't take as many pictures this time around. Xayla is still afraid to poop in the toilet! It's so frustrating. She is usually dry with naps and bedtime, but she will poop in her underwear every time. This semester is finishing quickly. I can't WAIT until KC is done with school!! After this semester, 1.5 years left. YES!!!! That will make my load lighter.

Disneyworld 2007 and update

I am posting some of our pictures form our trip. It was so much fun, and I think we all needed it. We went to Gatorland, Animal Kingdom, Blue Lagoon, Disneyquest, and the Magical Kingdom.

I went to the Dr's yesterday (love my Dr. Dr Wells). I am due between March 30th and April 4th. So it may be an April Fools baby. I think it's a boy because this pregnancy is very similar to Kobi's, but we will see in November. I was really nauseous with Xayla.

Teaching has been a little stressful this semester. I am not sure how it's going to work out with 3 kids. Sometimes I wish we would have waited until K.C. was done with school, but I do feel blessed to be healthy, and I am having a great pregnancy so far.

Xayla has a fever right now, but no other symptoms. I hate when she is sick. It's so sad.

I am also going to post some pictures of Kobi the day of his baptism.

Life

So, it has been busy around here. I have been sooooo tired. Naps are never long enough, and I can never get enough. I have been feeling well and eating a lot.

Kobi started Fall baseball. His schedule is a little hectic. The semester has started for me again with teaching at CSN. I kind of have a lot on my plate right now.

Xayla is still working on potty training. She will pee in the toilet all the time, but she will not poop in the toilet. She will go in her underwear. If I put a pull-up on her, then she will be sometimes in the pull-up and sometimes in the toilet. Today, she went to the babysitters for the first time in a very long time, and she urinated on herself twice and pooped in her underwear. I guess I need her to get used to other places! Yikes. I felt so bad. Luckily Kobi is not in school yet, so he helped the sitter out. Kobi starts 3rd grade next week! I can't believe it.

I am excited. We are going to Florida (the whole Disney thing) the 1st week of Sept. We need a family trip! Michelle, we are meeting up with Ben and his wife, Ursula, as well (and their daughter Isabella).

Kobi

I took some pictures, but I will post those later.

So my big boy turned 8 yrs last weekend! I can't believe it. He is going into the 3rd grade this month. He is such a big boy now! He got baptized today, and we had his party today because we were out of town last weekend. He is such a good boy. He loves to be silly and to pick on his sister, but he usually always chooses the right.

Family Reunion

We had fun. Just wanted to post some pictures.

I drank the water!

If you could see that, I must have drank the water that is going around! Number 3! Crazy!

Trip

I am going to have to post pictures later. So far the trip has been fun. We went to a reunion in Orem and we are now in Blanding, UT. Small towns are interesting. I am not a small town girl. We had a hard time looking for a fast food place, and when we found some, there are not many to choose from. It has been so nice to get away and hang out with the family. I am not looking forward to unpacking and cleaning the house! This trip has been a stress relief.

Busy

So, I just have been busy around here. We are going out of town this weekend. We are going to a family reunion and a wedding. I am exctied, but I hate packing, unpacking, and driving long trips with the kids :). I'll be in touch!

I'm amazed. This is crazy!

Wow! I'm such a wimp. My sisters used to call me Olivoil (I do not know if I spelled that right.) from Popeye. If it hurts, I stop. :)

Linda

So here is my body building sister for those of you who know her! She is preparing for a competition right now.

4th of July late entry

Thumb's up to the Lake!



Wakeboarding gave me the best work out!


Still in love!


Someone did not like the fireworks!


Someone loved the fireworks!


Someone did not want to take a picture!

IT"S MY BIRTHDAY!

So it is my last time in my 20's! Yikes! I spent the day working out, helping someone pack, took Kobi to swim lessons, and went to Red Lobster for dinner. I wanted an external hard drive for my birthday. Kind of a geeky present, but I wanted to back up all of my pictures and documents. I really wanted a Nikon D200, but I guess something like that will come later. Happy 4th to everyone!
