A Little Update and a Big Announcement

Lately we really haven't been up to very many exciting things. It's been VERY rainy here- something that didn't bug me before, but now that I have kids it's awful. We spend the majority of our time inside.

Parker is growing like a weed. As soon as he decides he wants to he'll be walking no problem. David is acting like a true 4 year old and I'm trying to adjust to it. He loves to talk and I love hearing his sweet voice. Sydney is a very emotional 2 year old who cries over everything. She is also very sweet, and loves to get her hair done and play with her doll house.

Scott is still working where he had his internship. They are being very kind to keep him on while he's job searching. He took David out in the pouring rain to play the other day. That's how desperate we were for some outside time.

Last week we finally had a day where the sun poked through and so I took the kids out. It was still pretty cold, but nice to get out and breath fresh air.



David loves to run. He's gonna be my little Cross Country runner!


As for me....


I'm 11 weeks pregnant if you can believe it. I couldn't at first, but as always the excitement always grows as you go along. Due date is Aug 14. I've had several spells of mild nausea (more than I've ever had before), and though I know it's not near what some women have to endure, it's been really annoying for me. I do feel blessed that I've never had it really bad though. This pregnancy has put a bit more pressure on Scott and I in our circumstances and we'd love it if you guys would pray in our behalf. It's amazing what prayer has done for our nerves already. I can definitely say that even though this was not in our plan, it is in our Heavenly Father's plan. And everything is going to work out fine. Soo...Yay!!

Wow...wow...wow. I will pray for you! So like 18 months apart? That is close...I'm ready to be pregnant again, but only because I want one more and I'm ready to move past this stage of my life! I always think it seems super close, and then I remember that Jeff and I are only 15 months apart! Well anyway...congrats! Hang in there!

Exciting! Is David missing the Kindergarten cut off this year? That will be quite a year if you have 4 at home! I am so excited to have Tanner going so I have one less to worry about for a few hours a week anyway. Good luck. We will be praying for you.

That is great!! And even better, your attitude about it!!! Big congrats!!!! I hope your nausea doesn't bother you much anymore. I have this quote that I leave hanging up because it helps me so much. It's from Gordon B. Hinkley. "Be believing. Be happy. Don't get discouraged. Things will work out."
I believe it!! So, hang in there, we will keep you in our prayers too.
