Just An Update

Well, I probably won't be blogging for a couple of weeks because of the baby, but here is an update on what is going on.
Sadie lost her front tooth, do you want to know how?? One guess, yep, Connor knocked it out with his Ninja Turtle Sword. She is so excited to get a little sister though!!
Connor still thinks he is some sort of super hero. It changes each day of which one he thinks he is.
And, little Sophie will grace us with her presence on Tuesday, July 29th. They are inducing me at 5 in the morning. I am like a 2 and over 70% thinned, so I am there! I can't wait. So, that is just a little of what is going on in our lives. I will post pictures of the baby as soon as I can.
Oh, and I can't forget Matt, he is taking his 4th year boards the middle of this month, so he is studying for that. He has been so amazing, and he gets to deliver Sophie, so that will be special!

Connor's Birthday!

I can't believe Connor turned 4 years old. He is my baby, at least for another week or two. (I went to the doctor today and I am dilated to a two and 50% thinned, so we will see). Anyway, he was so excited all day. He got a donut and chocolate milk for breakfast, then we took him to Garcia's for lunch so he could get his free ice cream. Then, we went to the water park for a couple of hours. For dinner we invited Lexi Heaton to come to Chuck E Cheese's with us and they had a blast. They didn't even want to stop for pizza. Lexi gave Connor, "Mr. Incredible Hulk" and he loved it. Then we went home and opened the rest of his gifts, and had his cake. It was funny because I didn't know that the candle's were "trick candles" so he had a hard time blowing them out! It was such a special day for him and he fell asleep at 7:30. He played way too hard. I love my little Connor!

I love my kids!!

Well, I just wanted to say a couple of things about my kids. Even little Sophie who isn't even here yet! I went to the doctor today and I am dilated to a one. Which is very uncommon for me. I usually don't dialate for another couple of weeks. So, my next appointment (in a week) we are going to see how much I have progressed and then schedule the date. So that is really exciting!!

My little Sadie is the sweetest thing ever. Whenever something is lost she prays to find it. There has never been one thing that she has prayed to find that she hasn't found. Even little rocks and shells. Well, her latest is her little cat Twila. And, when I say little I mean little. She is holding it in this picture. She lost it at the pool two days ago. We went out the next day to find it, but it really is like finding a needle in a haystack. There are drains, and sand, and so many places it could have been. Not counting other little kids who are out there that could have taken it. Anyway, we looked and looked and couldn't find it. Pretty soon she came up to me and said, "Mommy, I just said the sweetest prayer to find Twila." Well, we still couldn't find it, so that night when Matt got home we went out to the pool again and pretty soon Matt showed Sadie that he found it. He had pulled out one of the drains and it was covered with sand and flowers in the middle of it. It really is amazing how strong the faith of a child is. I was so proud and then had her go say a special prayer to thank Heavenly Father. How sweet that He answers even the smallest of prayers.
Then there is my little Connor. He is such a sweet boy. But, when I say boy, I mean he is ALL Boy!! He loves the ninja turtles, power rangers, batman, spider man, superman, and now the Incredible Hulk. It is so cute though because of Mr. Incredible from The Incredible's movie he calls the hulk, "Mr. Incredible Hulk". He rips off his shirt as he yells in a bizarre voice that he is Mr. Incredible Hulk. He is so cute and his speech is coming along so well. He says "W" for "L" so the lizard is a wizard and his friend Lexi is Wexi, little is wittle. Anyway it is adorable, plus he has a Jersey accent which I have know idea where it came from. Especially when he says, "Why not, Where, Because" I love my kids so much!! I feel so blessed to be a mom.

Best friends!!


Well, first of all I have to say how much I missed Idaho for the 4th. It just wasn't the same! However, we did try and make the most of it since we were stuck here anyway. It actually turned out to be fun. It was very hot so we spent our morning swimming at our pool. The kids played with Lexi Heaton and Natalie and I were able to discuss our discomforts since we are only 3 days apart with our due dates. And, both wishing we could have been with our families. Thanks Jared and Natalie for entertaining us!! After the pool we ate lunch and took the kids over to the water park by our house. The water felt so good! After a long day of swimming and eating the kids were exhausted. Since you can't do your own fireworks here we put the kids to bed and Matt and I watched one of our very favorite shows - Transformers. Matt also took the kids to Kung Fu Panda a couple days before so I posted those too. Happy 4th!!

He didn't want to let go

We were able to meet some of my family in St. George. It was my last week I could travel and it was our last chance to be with Dallin. It is almost exactly half way from Arizona and Idaho. Our whole family wasn't able to go, but it was fun to be able to spend time with the ones who could. We have always loved St. George and it is a really special place for our family. We went swimming, played games, talked, stayed up late, of course ate as much as we could. Here are some pictures and memories we made there! Thanks mom and dad for everything.
