Funny Gavin
A couple weeks ago Gavin didn't have a nap at the babysitters house, so we went to Costco after work. On our way home after Costco and dinner, this is how I found Gavin. He was tired. He loves looking at this picture of himself sleeping funny!

Buckle Fracture
It has been a busy weekend. Yesterday was Mike's drill weekend so I was with myself with the boys. We were getting ready to go to church and I was finishing the stuff I needed for my lesson in Young Women's. We went outside, I remembered I needed to get pictures, so we went back inside. I thought I had everything and so I opened the garage door for us to go back outside, and out the boys went. I remembered there was another picture I wanted in the dining room so I turned back to get it and heard crash, screaming and crying. I thought at first it was Greyson, but then nope, it was Gavin. We came inside, I got mad at him for rushing down the stairs because that is when people get hurt, gave him some Tylenol and we relaxed on the couch for a minute. He just kept complaining about it. I called Mike on my way to Church and asked him if he could come home after telling him what had happened. We went to Church and he was still sad and saying it hurt. He told me he just didn't want to feel his hand anymore. Right before my lesson started, Mike showed up and took the boys home (Thank goodness)! When I got home from Church Mike said we needed to go get it checked out. We got the the ER about 5:15ish and went the rounds with them. They were actually pretty busy. We got a "room" and Gavin went back for an X-Ray and flirted with the X-Ray tech telling her "You are cute." Oh my, what a ham! We got the X-Ray back and he has a Buckle fracture right on his right wrist. They splinted it and said he has to wear it for 4 weeks, nonstop. At least it will be off before Preschool starts :) So he is on lots of Motrin for the pain, the splint and rest for 4 weeks. Hopefully it heals properly. And no more running down the Garage stairs.

24th of July
On the 24th of July this year Mike had the day off, but I had to work. When I got off work, Mike said that we got invited to a neighborhood BBQ, so we went and hung out. Gavin took these pictures of us.
Another Family Update?
Well, I don't mind if I do... Another Family Update - I know it has only been a month, but a lot has happened.
Greyson - Still talks awesome...and is starting to make up his own words and put them into his sentences. Crazy kid. He does good with his ABCs and counting. He still doesn't know colors, but we will get there. Still doesn't eat good, but will eat Sausage, Pancakes, French Toast, and any other Breakfast food you give him, but doesn't like really anything else. He has serious stranger danger and doesn't like going to nursery, unless I am there with him. He is still on Miralax, but what else is new? He likes to watch Shawn the Sheep and Phineas and Ferb. He loves to listen to music and dance to it. He has become very independent and wants to do everything himself with no help. All in all, he is growing and learning and we love him.
Gavin - Can't wait to go to preschool in September. Will start Soccer next month (Hopefully). Loves hanging out with the babysitters and doing fireworks. We are trying to teach him how to ride a big boy bike with training wheels. He fell off once and won't get back on. He loves to walk around the neighborhood and go shopping with us. He loves Sundays and going to church. He loves his Sunbeam class and teachers. He likes to watch Phineas and Ferb and also to listen to music. He asked for a Vacuum for Christmas so he can help clean. Crazy kid. He gets himself dressed everyday and in jammies every night. We love Gavin and are so glad he is in our family.
Mike - Same old, same old. Still working. We are trying to come up with money to carpet our downstairs room, then we can finish it and move down there and get room for this new baby. He has been working on the downstairs to get it organized. He is still working on deciding what he is doing with the Military and what he is going to do about getting an A&P License. Still doing monthly drill weekends.
Me - I got moved from Mia Maids to Beehives. I miss the Mia Maids, but Beehives are so much less dramatic (So far ) :) Of Course...Pregnant. 14 weeks 2 days today. Still feeling sick and tired all the time. I don't eat very well because all the crappy food is what sounds good. Still working like mad, and getting ready to start Fall semester with 13 credit hours. I will be going crazy come September. Pregnant, 2 kids, Husband, Full time job, going to school full time, calling...
Other than that, we are trying to sell some more stuff and make some more room for all the baby stuff we already got rid of to be ready for the new baby. Everything is going good and we are surviving. Love you all!

Preschool Graduation
On May 15th, Gavin graduated from his first year of Preschool and is eligible to advance to his second year of preschool. YAY. His last day of Preschool was Friday, May 24th. It was excited about it but I am sure it will sink in soon that he isn't going to school for a while and will start to ask when he can go back. Thank goodness for Church so he can see his teacher. He learned so much this year. When he started, he didn't even write anything, didn't get the L,M,N,O,P in the alphabet quite right and wasn't very good at his colors. Now, he says his alphabet like a pro, can write and say all letters of the alphabet and even the sounds they make. He can say the full Pledge of Allegiance. He does so good.

This is what we made for a Thank you for Miss Ashley, Gavin was so excited to give it to her.   |

Pregnant Girl Problems
Before I even told anyone at work that I was pregnant, I bought all this stuff for lunch one day. I am surprised they didn't realize. I have seriously been so hungry all the time this pregnancy! I had to take a picture of what I was buying...

Baby #3
*WARNING, this post contains TMI*
I know, I know. It has been said and written here on the blog that we are done having kids and two was good and enough for us...
Let me set the stage for you:
January 2013! We go out to Lunch with Mike's mom for his birthday. We are talking about heirlooms and I said to her, that I wouldn't have a daughter to pass on something that she wanted to pass on to me, but that maybe I could give it to one of my son's wives or something to pass it on, and my Mother-in-Law said, "you never know, you could still have a girl." And while she was saying that I was thinking, no, I won't have a girl because we are done having kids. Then on Sunday at church in our class I was holding my friends little girl while she was getting some stuff out of her bags, and Mike was having a field day with her, playing with her and loving on her. That night our friends came over to the house to bring us cookies, and Mike got out their little girl and was cooing her and playing with her and my friend said something about "Maybe you will have a girl next," and Mike was like, you never know. And again, I am thinking, what is going on here? We are done having kids.... Then on Monday I went to work and my coworker started asking me questions about am I sad that my baby is almost 2, and how they lose that baby smell and that triggers something in the parents about wanting a new baby. I told her I was okay, and that we had decided we were done. After that conversation, I decided it was time to talk to Mike about it. Where was all this baby talk coming from? We talked and he said he thought there was another baby up there for us. I was shocked. We had sold a lot of our baby stuff! So we decided to take a couple days and decide if this was what we both wanted. We then decided I needed to get my IUD out. The day that I got my IUD out, there was a lot of mixed emotions. Mike and I were both freaking out. I was freaking out so bad, my Dr. even said he wouldn't take it out because he was worried I was freaking out. Well, I got it out. We then decided that we would protect and go from there. If I hadn't gotten pregnant by the time I turned 31 we would go get the IUD back in and call it good. In February we even decided that we weren't going to try, we put so much pressure on ourselves and we both just felt so much better letting it go. We went to the Temple in February to see if we could get an answer, but neither of us received anything, so we just moved on with life.
Fast forward to April, I haven't started yet, and since I got my IUD out I had been regular. I bought a Pregnancy test but Mike kept saying, you are fine, we are not pregnant, you are going to start next week. Sure enough I did start the next week. Then May comes. I still have the unused pregnancy test and it is in the back of my mind. I though I was supposed to start on the 21st of May, but upon further examination I should have started on the 14th. I thought that I wouldn't take the test until June 1st to give my body plenty of time to start, but I was having all these weird things happen...My stomach was bloated feeling, I was nauseated, my cravings have been crazy, having to pee all the time, just all these crazy things happening. So, just out of the blue on Thursday the 23rd I decided to use that pregnancy test and see what happens. It was a + - one and it literally changed right to +. So then the real freak out begun. We took another pregnancy test on Friday (A digital one) and of course it came up (Pregnant!). So here we are. Pregnant with baby #3. I guess we are ready for another wild ride on this journey!
