Our Baby March 15, 2010

 

Last Friday, John and I went to our first ultrasound it was exciting seeing our little baby moving around. Even Payten seemed to understand the excitement of seeing our new baby. John wanted me to make sure you all know it’s a BOY and no thoughts of a girl are allowed! 

Last week when I was getting my blood work done I noticed that I was being checked for HIV that freaked me out. I don’t know why but I just kept on thinking what if I somehow got HIV from a nurse when I had Payten or  a mosquitoe bite. So on Friday I was happy to learn I AM disease free.  John of course thought I was being silly but to me it was a good news day!  

"Flower's for your girl"

Mom and Dad AKA Teele and Liz have a family living in a 5Th wheel trailer next to the barn. They have four small boys that LOVE to come over and play as soon as the sun is up or Kaitlen is off the school bus. The part that bugs me is the Mother lets her 2 year old come over to play with the older 2 boys, Payten is almost 2 and I would never just open my backdoor and ship her out for hours at a time. Anyway the oldest boy "Jerry" has a crush on our Kaitlen, the other night when John was doing homework with her we heard a loud knock on the door. John was a little annoyed he had already argued with the boys that it was time to go home. When he went to the back door there was Jerry holding up a bunch of weeds he then told John "I brought flowers for your girl" John came back in the kitchen and told Kaitlen that her boyfriend brought her some flowers needless to say we have all laughed hard over this one. We think that Jerry has some kind of learning disability he talks like he is two and he can't seem to remember "the girl's" name. Kaitlen gets embarrassed when we call him her boyfriend she says he doesn't even know my name that he is just fun to play with.

Kaitlen's first flowers!

Slow 2 weeks

Kaitlen started second grade on Monday, she LOVES it! Her first day she was sad that she didn't get homework until the second week of school, I'm glad that school is fun for her. Payten misses her when she is gone, heck I miss her also she is such a sweet little girl.

we are loving her new hair cut!

Haven went home to Montana on July, 22 we all miss her a ton. She is doing well and is also looking forward to starting second grade in a few weeks. She seems to love Montana so that's where her Mom has decided to stay!

Payten is almost two she is a doll. I can't believe how much she has learned in the last few months. She is sooo much fun John and I laugh all the time over what she says and does.

Locks of Love

Kaitlen started growing out her hair before she was two. By the time she was four her hair reached her butt, she loved it. Last year all her classmates would call her Rapunzel or Princess Kaitlen she loved the attention. These last couple months she has been telling John and I that she wanted a hair cut; she was tired of her long hair. Today Grandma looked up all the info for donating hair to Locks of Love !

Before
Grandma needed ten healthy inches then she braided it Snip Snip it was done

For the first time since she was in diapers she has short hair !

Grandma is making sure K-T's hair is even.Seven year old smile!

One very happy seven year old

Up Date

Man have we had a lot going on this month, first I would like to say that John and I are going to be having another baby!! We are due around March 15 and are very excited John is WISHING for a son.

We have decided that we need a change so with one month left in our lease we packed up all of our things and put them in storage except for some clothes and moved in with Mom and Dad for a few months. While John goes to Utah and finds some work and a place to live. I'm excited and looking forward to this new journey. Neither one of us have ever lived in Utah we are just hoping for the best and maybe some green grass.

That's it for us a new baby in the spring and moving to Utah, wish us luck!!!

When it's 108 Outside

When it's to hot to go outside and play a mom has to get creative or her children will slowly start to drive her nuts. We play games such as hide an go seek or find the missing item from the shelf; my favorite is can you solve this riddle this one takes them the longest and of course there favorite is a coloring contest. However when those games get old it's time to break out mom's secret weapons PAINTING and BAKING!!


Painting is always a huge success
