St George Trip/Father's Day!

We went to St George this year for Father's day since Jon hasn't spent father's day with his dad ever since high school. We went shopping, swimming and just relaxed while we were there. It was nice to get away for awhile but I was ready to go home to where it wasn't so HOT. Enjoy the pictures!

Sitting in the hot tub, I couldn't stand to sit in it for very long and I only had my legs in it.

Mason loved to sit here

Aiden chillin' with his Daddy

Mason thought that it was pretty cool that the statue boy would spray water out of the hose he was holding.

They aren't too sure if they want to go in

Idaho Summer Fun!

Mason and Aiden went to Idaho for a week at the being on the summer this year. They ended up have sleep overs at Nana's house, went to 2 of their cousins birthday parties, played outside, rode bikes, dressed up in costumes, played batman and of course they played with most of their cousins. They really enjoyed staying at Nana's house for a week and loved to play with all her toys. Jon and I just relaxed and enjoyed our time together, we were able to go out to dinner and to a movie while our kids were gone, which doesn't happen very often. I had a list of stuff that I was planning on doing while my boys were gone but that didn't happen. I ended up doing about half of what was on the list and the rest of the time I took lots of naps. Here are some pictures of the boys while they were in Idaho. Enjoy them!

Mason's Preschool Pictures 2011

These pictures are from when Mason was in Preschool. There are some from in his class room and from field trips that they took. Some of the pictures are hard to find where Mason is at in them. Enjoy!!

A Week With No Kids!!!

My mom came down and stayed with us for a week and then she took Mason and Aiden with her to Idaho for a week. My kids have cousins in Idaho that they have been wanting to play with and some have birthdays in the summer time and they usually miss out on their birthdays so they are up in Idaho visiting for a week. It's been really weird to not have to haul my kids around to go places now. I also already miss them. But at least this time I am home with Jon so he doesn't get lonely and we have a whole week to ourself with no kids which we are pretty excited about.

Pregnant Pic & Braces Are Off Pic!

I got my braces off on Jon's birthday which is April 27th. I didn't tell anyone cause I wanted to see how long it would take for everyone to notice that they were off and to hopefully hear good compliments, but that didn't workout so well since we didn't see anyone for like a month and a half. All though when we finally did have a game night some people did notice which made me feel good about myself. Those who all really knew me, I hated how my teeth looked before I got braces and all the time growing up I was made fun of for it all. But now I love my teeth and I am really excited to get my implant done and have it all finished for good. Enjoy the pics!

24 Weeks Pregnant and I look huge already!

Braces are off! I do have to wear a retainer though for 6 months 24/7

and then after that I only have to wear it at night.

Sick + Pregnancy= Feeling Horrible

The good news is that all the horrible pain that I have been having on my right side has FINALLY gone away. I am so grateful for it too! My doctor prescribed me lortab for the pain and ever since I have finished all of it, I am feeling so much better. Now all that I am having is just normal pregnancy stuff that's been going on which is nice. The only thing that I am going to have my doctor look at, at my next appointment is my throat. I keep getting sore throats and my tonsils feel like they are swelling up again. The first time that it happened to me I could barely breath, talk, swallow and according to Jon it made me snore like no other. Luckily it went away after about 3 weeks and then we all got sick again and it's starting to feel like it's happening again. My doctor prescribed me amoxicillan and I took that for 7 days and after a couple of days my sore throat came back while I was taking the medicene so I just figured that it's only doing that since I wasn't done with the 7 days yet but now it's all taken and I am still getting the sore throats. It looks like they are swelling up but I am not sure. I am going to wait it out til my next appointment and then I'll just have him take a look at it. I am really hoping that I won't need to have my tonsils removed. Just because I'll have to deal with it until the baby is here to get them removed. Which wouldn't be so great to wait it out for that long.

Goodbye Bunnies!!!

Jon and I decided to get rid of our bunnies. They are just ending up costing too much to have and they don't really like to be held very much. Also Mason and Aiden always go open their cage and end up messing everything up. The bunnies also stink and I can't stand the smell anymore and I think that I might be allergic to them too cause ever since we have gotten them I have been sneezing like crazy and we can't seem to get feeling better from being sick. We have really enjoyed the bunnies but I am going to be relieved to get rid of them. I think if we were to ever get another pet we would get a little dog. That way the kids could play with it and have more fun with there pet. The bunnies are fun to have to watch but the boys like to hold them and they always end up scratching the kids.

Plus it will better to get rid of them since we will be too busy with our other two kids and a new baby to worry about cleaning out their cage, feeding them and having to smell them anymore. Since we are getting rid of them I am going to have to do some serious cleaning in the rooms that they were in. It was a good idea to get them and if we were to keep them I would rather have them be outside so that way I don't have to worry about the smell.
