Hawaii!!

So this is so late, but the first week of May we got to go to HAWAII!! Yeah, we were super excited, first time for me, as well as, the kids. It was awesome and we had such a great time. Jeremy's parents went too and it was beautiful.

I didn't upload all the pics to my blog because there are so many but I have them on my facebook and myspace if you want to see them.

We were so blessed to be able to go and we can't wait to go back...although next time it might just be Mommy and Daddy!! :O)

My daughter is TWELVE?!?!?

That's right, on May 17th, my Lauren turned 12!! I can't believe it. I can't believe she is now in Young Womens, I can't believe she is going on her first temple trip two Saturdays from now and Girls Camp NEXT WEEK!! It doesn't even seem that long ago that I was doing those things for the first time and now I have a daughter old enough to do them??? CRAZY!! She is such a joy in our life, she is such a big help and a sweet spirit. She has a tender heart and tries so hard to be a good example to her younger sister and brother. I couldn't have asked for a better oldest child. I love her so much!!

Here is the cake daddy made for her. Yeah, the man cooks AND bakes. He also made homemade pizza for her party, which the girls loved.

The second picture is of her holding her cousin, Ryker. (LOVE HIM!!) I can't wait to see her with our new addition coming soon. I know she will be a HUGE help and such a great big sister. The third picture is from her party in Tri-Cities with family. I can hardly believe my eyes when I look at her and how beautiful she is inside and out. Happy Birthday, Lauren!!

Chase won a bike!

A few weeks ago I came home to find out that Chase had WON a new bike from a drawing they had at his school. The kids had to read and mark off boxes for every 15 minutes they read. We have the kids read for 30 minutes a day so he racked up quite a lot of "miles". Apparently enough to be one of only 2 kids in his school to win a bike. He also won a cool new helmet. He was beaming with pride. What a great day for him!!

Yay yay yay yay!!

We're having a...

So Chase was right! And quite a few friends as well! We're having a BOY!! :O) We're super excited and can't wait to have him here. Can't wait to see what he looks like, his little personality, and all the sweetness that comes too. He is in the 95th percentile...meaning, he is above average for size. Hopefully he won't be TOO big when it comes time to get him out! :O) Lauren was my biggest baby so far and at 9lbs 10oz, was plenty big enough. :O) We'll take him however we get him though. :O)

Why Mormons build temples

I love this video about why we build temples. I think people have a lot of misconceptions and misunderstandings about a lot of the things we do and hold sacred. Enjoy! :O)

My news and My Little Man, Chase

Sorry it's been so long...and I DO have news, although I don't know that anyone who reads my blog will be surprised because I've announced it everywhere else. :O)

I'm pregnant!! :O) I'm 19 weeks, we find out what we're having next week and we're so excited. But one of my kids already seems to know what I'm having. He's pretty sure.

Chase is determined that I am having a boy, wonder why. :O) He refers to the baby as "he" every time. Tonight he said the cutest thing I had to write about.

We're talking about the baby and when we find out and he's so excitedly talking about it I'm grinning. He says "I'm gonna ask Jesus what it is." I said, "I thought you already know it's a boy." LOL! He says "I'm just gonna double check."

I need to be better about writing down their funny sayings because I forget and they're such funny kids I just love them all so much.

I was thinking about that yesterday when I was making dinner and they were in the kitchen with me and they had been gone all this last week at my parents for Spring Break and I had missed them so much at the time but it really hit home when I was back in the routine of it all that can be kindof overwhelming at times but I wouldn't trade it for anything. I enjoyed the time to myself last week but I love the everyday mommy stuff. :O)

(Had to brag for a minute. MOMMY MOMENT!!)

My Megan :O)

Ok, so I'm thinkin' I'm SOO over trying to "catch up" my blog. LOL Anyhoo...I had to write a couple things about my beautiful daughter, Megan. She said a couple things today that have made me laugh out loud and wanted to share.

First, we're sitting at the dinner table and I can't remember what we were talking about but she says, "If that's how you roll, roll when I'm not here." LOL!! I about died!!

The second thing was later when she started copying me, which is NOTHING NEW, LOL, and a minute later she came up to me and said, "You know how to get me to stop copying you??" Then she comes up and whispers in my ear "Say a bad word, cause I don't like to say bad words." LOL!! I laughed so hard.

This is my Megan, she will say stuff out of the blue that just cracks me up!! I love her!! :O)
