22

So I decided it was about time to post a prego picture of me . . . so here you have it! I am now 22 weeks and getting bigger and bigger each week. I guess I am just one of those that shows early and gets huge :) But I'm pretty much used to it since I am on my fourth pregnancy in 5 years!



I have been really lucky with all of my pregnancies in that I feel pretty good for the most part. I could not imagine being sick all of the time and still having to care for my other kids. So I guess I really can't complain! Other than the heartburn and tiredness . . . I feel great! It still amazes me every time I start feeling the baby move! She is for sure a mover but likes to save it for night time (or maybe I am just to busy during the day to notice her movements much!)

My mind is filled with ideas of projects that I want to complete for her in the next few months and I have already started a few ( I will have to post some pictures when they are done!) Anyway, I am just super excited to have this little girl on the way and am sure the next few months are going to fly!

The Perfect Weekend

Last weekend was just that. Perfect. I don't think I have been able to say that about a weekend in a while so I figured I better document it!

The weekend stared early for us on Thursday. It was a big day . . . the ultrasound. I was nervous all morning. I always get nervous before my ultrasounds, I think it is the unknown and the anticipation. Luckily my appointment was in the morning so I didn't have to wait ALL day, it just seemed like it! I was planning on walking out of there in boy mode. I was shocked, surprised, excited, scared, giddy and a million other emotions when they told me it was a GIRL!!!!! Wow! I couldn't wipe the smile off my face all day. It was perfect.

Friday was just a normal day. But still perfect considering our news.

Saturday we packed up and headed to Park City. We haven't been anywhere in a while and this was a much needed family getaway. We went with Kasey's family (his mom and dad, and sister Krista and her hubby Bobby). We got there a few hours before check in, so we decided to take the boys out to lunch and hit the Alpine Slide. It was way past lunch time and we basically never take all of them in a restaurant (do you blame me??), but they did so good! I was a proud mommy.




After lunch we headed over to the Alpine Slide. This was the only part of the trip that was not perfect. Kasey took Griff first and then the plan was to take Mase next (someone had to stay at the bottom with Dax :)) There was basically no line at the bottom so I figured it would take 15 min or so. Nope. An hour and a half later they came down the slide. It was a LONG wait for a baby that hadn't had a nap. . . he was so tired that he would just lay down in the gravel (we were waiting in gravel). Long story short, Mase opted to skip out on the slide so we could go swim at the hotel.




The rest of the time was spent swimming, eating, and swimming some more. What could be more perfect than that? We even got to have a little adult time which was so nice. Kent and Jackie offered to watch the boys and get them to bed while we went out to dinner with Krista and Bobby. It was a lot of fun and I can't wait to do it again!

Soccer Star

Mase played soccer this fall and loved it. The first few games he was more interested in being close to his buddy Jaxon at all times, but by the end of the season he was focused on the game and serious about scoring a goal. He even ended up scoring a few goals and when his coach told him that he was getting better and better every game he was beaming ear to ear! They were giving trophies at the end of the season which was pretty much the icing on the cake. He keeps it on his nightstand and is so proud!




Daxon loved going to the games and loved having everyone there to give him attention! He usually likes to give a wave when saying hi, but this time was feeling extra lovey.
