#3 is on the way...



So it has been a really long time since I have posted anything. Well that is the reason why! I am 12 weeks pregnant and can barely survive so this is the last thing that gets done these days. I am feeling okay, I am on medication that makes it so I only throw up once or twice as compared to 5 or 6! But I am so incredibly tired! Anyway we are all very excited to have a new addition to the family. I am due October 15th, so lucky me I get to go through the long hot summer! well, I am just checking in and I cannot promise regular updates, but I will try!

more potty stuff..



So I am downstairs making Macaroni and cheese for my kids and niece for lunch and Luke was upstairs by himself. That is almost never a good idea! Anyway I yell up to him to tell him that lunch is ready and I hear him yell,"just a minute I am just drinking potty water!" So at first I am thinking that hopefully he is just drinking the water from the sink and just refered to it as the potty water. Then I decide that I should probably run up and check on him, that was a good idea. When I got there he is standing in front of the toliet with one on Jenna's tea cups and a fresh cup of Toliet water. He was mad that I interupted his fun. I certainly had a good laugh! Afterwards, I thought at least he was honest with me! Oh the joy of little boys!

potty face and kindergarten!

So you might be wondering what Luke is doing here, well, yep that is a potty on his face! the other day we thought it would be a good idea to show him his little potty and get him excited about going potty. well it worked just not in the way we would have liked. He takes the potty and puts it on his face and shouts look at me and them runs around saying "potty face" and laughing. It was pretty hilarious! Well, I guess it is getting him familiar with it right? He is definately our comedian!
I was looking through my pictures and had a longing to be back on the beach where it is nice and warm! So I just thought that I would share.
Today was a big step for me, I registered Jenna for Kindergarten! Yep, I am getting old,(at least I don't get stuff from the AARP like Dave!Sorry! Happy Birthday today! I love you!!) anyway we just went and filled out the paperwork for her to start this next school year. Crazy, that I am going to have a kid in school ! She is very excited, I am excited but a little nervous, all of you moms that have been through it I am sure understand. I am just going to miss her, we have lots of fun together. Alright enough of this sappy stuff... Anyway, it was just one of those things you have to do that make you think a little. But she will love it and do great!

I'm Back!!

Aloha!
I have been unable to post lately because I have been very busy laying on the beach in Hawaii! Dave and I went with my family for a whole week to celebrate my dad's 60th birthday! What a way to celebrate! My parents were kind enough to pay for our airfare as part of our Christmas present, so it made the trip a little more affordable. Unfortunatly for Dave there was too much shopping to do so we still spent a fair amount! Anyway I have to let all of you know my gratitude for my wonderful in-laws who watched my kids so that Dave and I could really have a stress free vacation together! ( Also thanks to Scot and Kirsten for their help too!) Anyway so here are a few pictures from my trip, it really is just a few I took like 150, thank goodness for digital cameras!

The morning after we arrived in Hawaii, Dave and I woke up very early because of the time change and (okay I admit that I woke Dave up early because I had been awake for awhile!, He didn't mind being woken up in Hawaii though.) Anyway this is the sunrise that first morning, isn't is gorgeous?! This was taken in the backyard of our house that we rented, pretty cool!
This is us at the Hawaii Laie temple. It is beautiful! Unfortunatley we never made it to so a session but walking around was wonderful and as always there was such a sweet spirit there.
Yep, this is me learning the Hula at the P.C.C Shake those hips!! Dave enjoyed watching this!
This is what I enjoyed! We watched these guys do a show and the one next to me climb up the palm tree to get a coconut. It's okay to drool ladies, I know I did!

This is one of my favorite pictures of Dave and I at the Lua at the P.C.C. This trip was so great for us! It is so nice to just be yourself with no stress and for me not to be the mom/slave/maid etc.. Anyway, we really enjoyed it! We also toured Pearl Harbor, went snorkeling, shopping, swimming, hiked Diamond Head, etc. If you want to see more pictures just let me know I would be more than happy to share! Although it was such a wonderful trip it was nice to sleep in my own bed and I totally missed my kids like crazy! Although everytime I talked to them they were having so much fun. Well, now it is back to real life and it is so cold here! My feet do not enjoy being in such confined places! Well, have a great day! Mahalo!

Random thoughts and Kindness

Well, its been a week since I have blogged, forgive me! Well today is my birthday! Yeah Happy birthday to me! It's pretty much like any other day but better. My wonderful sweet husband made me breakfast in bed! It was nice to have a peaceful breakfast. I watched the Today's show and learned all about Dr. Phil and Britney Spears, and yes those to do go together as of late. I also played referee for two four year olds, one of them being mine, what better gift could there be than that! No, it has actually been a great day. My friend Kathleen, knows all about my love of pants and got me a new pair of my favorites! That is a true friend! Jessica and Rachelle took me to dinner last night at Paradise Bakery! YUMMY! Another friend Jaime brought by a little gift as well. It so nice to have so many wonderful people who care! Also my brother Scot totally surpirsed me by his phone call, the first and only of my family to call so far. So yeah, it has been a pretty good day, too bad I have to get older to have a birthday! Fortunately I will always be younger than Dave! (I love you!)
So MOnday night when it snowed, I was totally sick and Dave worked late and the last thing that either of us wanted to to was to shovel the driveway. Well we heard someone shoveling about 10:00 that night and we just assumed that it was a neighbor doing their driveway. nope, someone shoveled our driveway, of course I wouldn't have told this story if it didn't turn out that way right? Anyway, if you read this, Thank you! If not, I just want everyone to know what wonderful neighbors we have!
Here is another random thing that Jenna said the other day. She was going to the bathroom, its okay to keep reading its rated G, She said, "mommy do you know where the toliet goes to?" I said "what?" She said " the toliet goes to outer space, that is where all of my poop and pee goes." Well I had a good laugh and asked her where she learned that and she said that she just knew it! So now I know where the toliet goes to!

Sorry, this has been a very random post! But at least I posted something! Have a great day! Thanks for visiting~

I had a problen with the pictures in my earlier post so here are the pictures that go with the post!

sleepless nights and craziness...

As my title suggests I am suffering majorly from lack of sleep. Luke has been sick for like four days now and fortunately in on the mend! So in between getting up with him and trying to hang out with Dave and staying up to watch Hairspray way too many late nights! This makes for a very ornery mother ( sorry kids). So today has been "one of those days".

Well, on to happier and nicer things.. Jenna and I went to the U of U gymnastics meet on Friday. It was a fun Girls Night, as always. However now my little four year old would like her very own MP3 player! I don't even own an MP3 player ( that is perhaps another issue for another day!). Jenna spent the evening listening to High School Musical and Hannah Montana with her cousin Emma. Thanks Emma!( that was said with just a hint of sarcasm) No, it was fine and made for a fun night.
Saturday Jenna and I accompanied Beautiful Bride to be Biz to the Bridal show at the JSMB. It was a lot of fun, so much in fact I am considering getting married all over again! (What do you think Dave?) Jenna had the time of her life as well, she said,"There are a MILLION treats here!" Yes she ate so many treats that day! We all got to sample the yummy food and I was very glad that I hadn't eaten lunch! So I thank Jeff for not going to the expo so that Jenna and I could enjoy it thanks Jeff!
I saw two new movies last weekend as well. The Bourne Ultimatum and Enchanted. Both were excellent. Again Jenna and I had girl time and she loved it and giggled all the way through Enchanted up until the end where she had to go to the bathroom, it figures that she would have to go right at the climax of the movie, isn't there some sort of law that supports that?
Well, anyway those are my ramblings of my weekend. I am just so glad that Luke is finally feeling better and I have my Hairspray fix in so now I hope to get a good nights sleep!
