Fam Fun

Alexa enjoying a bath--5 weeks old












Oh My gosh! I've taken nearly 100 pictures in the past week! First Jace's birthday then the garden and yard and of course our precious and much loved new baby

We got a free rototiller from someone this past winter when Scott shoveled off their roof of tons of snow--and it even works!

Happy 5th B-DAY Jace! He is riding a new 20" 2-wheeler...no training wheels..

All cuteness

Alexa or"Lexi" as she is coming to be called, all bright eyes and cuteness.

Final Stretch

HI, It's now the final stretch of the pregnancy. I feel pretty good all things considered. BUT I want my body back!!! I want to be able to bend and stretch and move and feel normal again...go running, play vball, do gardening, ride horseback...

Yesterday I cleaned the bathroom.
Yes, that was a feat! Well, no one else was doing it, so I had to or else be completely grossed out. I think it had been at least 3 weeks. And let me tell you bending and scrubbing behind toilet and in tub is not easy at 9 months pregnant.

WE bought a steam cleaner for the carpets with the tax return. Yeah!!! All the upstairs LR and bedrooms are done and ready for new baby to come home. Scott got that all done while he was still layed off. then he got rehired and the downstairs is waiting and needing it. I love him for doing that for us.

Gotta run get the kids ready for school. I love them. So sweet and loveable. They all came and joined us on our bed this morning as we all woke up. Good morning. Lots of smiles and laughter. Great way to start my day.

How sweet

It was the sweetest thing last night: It was evening and we were chatting about the new ward boundary changes and comparing who was where now that the stake has added a brand new ward to the mix. DH layed his head on my lap and as we relaxed the baby started doing tap dances; on one end pushing a foot up under my ribs and on the other end poking him in the head. He was pretty excited to feel all that movement! We call her by her name now. First name is decided but middle name is a toss-up between two family names still. We will let you know.

...Too Bumpy...

So I woke up at 1am this morning with a very painful hip joint. This baby has been sitting on a nerve running down my right leg for about 2 weeks...ah the joys of pregnancy...making it very difficult to move very quickly or stand for very long, or sleep for that matter. So on the positive side here I am adding a post to my blog =P what else to say other than there is 8 weeks to go and my belly is suddenly in the way. I can't scoot behind chairs at a table, and it isn't comfortable to cuddle Kiara or any of my kids for that matter...I'm "too bumpy" in their words.
