IT'S A BOY!!!!!!!!!!!...AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!

So, as you can see below, baby number four is definitely a boy!! I'm not going to lie, as many as you know, since i have done the boy things two times in a row...I was kind of hoping for girl this time around. BUT I am very excited and it was truly amazing to see my little boy for the first time, moving around ALL OVER the place. (the ultra tech was actually laughing out loud because he was moving around so much it was hard for her to get a good picture of him) And let me tell you what, as soon as that tech put that magic wand on my stomach...THERE IT WAS! CLEAR AS DAY!..OUT LITTLE BOY! And boy was it clear! haha! So, I wasn't sad, mad, or I didn't even cry like i thought I would! lol The feeling that actually overcame me was "Of course it is." Like I knew it all along or something.

The best news in the world was hearing that our little boy is as healthy as can be. Everything is developing great and no worries whatsoever. Because of some "female" issues I had previous, we didn't have an exact due date so we were planning on getting our due date based off of the measurements of this baby. July 14th!!! It's no nice to have a date and know that everything looks so good with my little boy. The only concerning thing that they saw was something that I have that they call placenta privia. A short explanation of it is when the baby is above the placenta instead of below it, so if I were to go into labor right now the placenta would be delivered first, which would NOT be good. So, hopefully over time it will move back up as the uterus grows, but if not, a C section will be in my future. We decided we will definitely keep up on it with follow up visits and more ultra sounds and see what ends up happening. The depressing thing is this; no more running, excising, nothing. Not even strenuous walking!!! I of course will do ANYTHING in my power to help this baby and keep him/her healthy but exercising is one thing that actually helps me feel better and gives me energy..so we will just have to see how that goes!!

Anyways, I sure love my kids and am so grateful for each one of them. Of course Brooklyn was a little bit sad as well, but she is now very excited about the fact that me and her are the only girls and get to do all of the fun girl things just me and her. She will definitely be our little princess!! Thank you husband for giving me four of the most wonderful babies in the world. They truly are my world, as are you. I am so blessed and couldn't be happier with the way my life is going, sometimes I wonder how I got so lucky. We will keep you up to date...Love you all!!

Proud sister...after some time..it took awhile of

Crazy busy times!!!

SOO, the past few months have been crazy buys for our little family!Thanksgiving, Christmas, my little sister got engaged, I went to California to visit Kelli, it was my birthday, it was Austin's 3rd birthday, it was Ben's 29th, and it was Brooklyn's 5th Birthday! My sister got married, we have been back and forth between Rexburg and Boise 4 times in the past 6 weeks, Valentines Day...I could go ON AND ON AND ON!! Along with being five months pregnant and having sick kids lately, it's been crazy! So, that should explain why I haven't blogged forever and a year. Below is about 4 new posts, so keep reading! Besides being super busy, nothing new here! Just enjoying life! Hope everyone had a great few months, we love you all!

We went to Rexburg a few weeks to go through the temple with my little sister Taucia. While we were there Ben's family decided to have a little birthday party for Ben, Austin and Brooklyn since they are all so close. This is us celebrating! Below the fam is playing duck duck goose with the kids, and as you can see, Tiara is about to fly out of the window!! I love this picture, sorry T, had to post it! Konda made a very yummy ice cream cake for everyone, did gifts, played the Wii, Talon smothered Jake... everything ! Thanks guys, we love you!

So,believe it or not, my baby turned FIVE yesterday!! Yep, my little Brooklyn is now five years old. I seriously can't believe she is that old. It seems like yesterday she was my first little baby that I didn't want to put down for five seconds, fit in the corner of my arm, and now she's getting ready to start kindergarten! Brooklyn is the best big sister ever and such a good girl. Four has been my FAVORITE age so far. She is such good girl and has the biggest heart ever. She's for sure my shyest child, but I kind of like it! For her birthday we took her to Chucky Cheese..it was the highlight of her whole year I'm pretty sure. The kids ran around like crazy, got lots of tokens, ate pizza and cake...it was a great night!! Happy fifth birthday baby girl, we love you so much!

She of course got her much wanted Tinkerbell

cake!!

Of course the guys couldn't stay away from the hoops even for one night!!

Talon played with this ball all night, just rolling

it up and down, up and down!

Their favorite game for sure!

It's Chucky!!

And of course all of the Tinkerbell dress up clothes you could think of!

It's my party!!!!

Smiles all night long!!

Ben's Birthday was Feburary 9th! We had a little get together with some friends, I made him a homade ice cream cake, and we had a great time. 29 years old...next year is the big one!! haha! This is Ben at his parent's house the next week. We had a birthday party for him, Austin, and Brooklyn. His parents gave him some new shoes and money..perfect gift for my hubby. Love you babe, hope you had a good one, thanks for being my everything.

I'm pretty sure Austin had the best birthday ever! He turned three years old, and boy will he let you know it! He loves transformers, so every gift he got pretty much had to do with that. We have this tradition of decorating the living room the night before each persons birthday and putting all of their gifts on the table. Here's my three year old tell me he's three now, very excited about his special day!

Most of you know the story of my sweet Austin, but I went into labor with him the day before I was scheduled to be induced, and by the time I got to the hospital, I was dialated to a 9..in the WORST pain of my life, and he came 16 minutes later. No time for an epidural, no time for MY doc to come, and no time to even get me in a real hospital room. He was delivered in a side triage room. I've always said that Austin has been my hardest from birth...lol, but he definitely is my best most lively child. Not afraid to speak his mind, will talk your ear off, is the most stubborn little thing ever..but at the same time, is the sweetest little man ever. Loves to cuddle, tells me ten times a day how "pretty" I am and that he loves me. I can't believe my kids are growing up so fast, time really does fly by. We hope you had a good birthday buddy, we love you!!!

My Birthday was November 24 and it was great. Ben took me out to dinner with some friends, got me a cake and we opened presents with the kids when we got home. Earlier that day someone called and said they wanted to come look at our house (it's up for sale) So I spent the WHOLE DAY cleaning which I wasn't thrilled about, but that's ok. So that night made up for it, it was great, thanks babe!

California Trip

So as most of you had heard...my Cali trip was very...adventurous! haha To make a long story short, I got off of the plane and it was POURING rain, and it was like that up until the day I left. I'm talking mud slides, hurricane warnings, etc.. the second night I was there Kelli's little girl Kaylie got the flu, like puking every ten minutes flu. Then a day later Kelli came down with it. So for the last two days I was there they were all sick, I felt so bad for them! They of course felt horrible that happened while I was there, but here's the thing..I could sit on the couch and just talk to Kelli for a week straight and have so much fun. That's why we are best friends, it's just like old days when we get back together even though it might have been over a year or so. We just pick right back up and it's great. Courntey was able to take us shopping one of the days and do our hair. She stayed the night and of course brought Kelli and I pregnant junk food to snack on the whole time. It was so much fun to spend some time with my girls, I love you both!




I LOVE this little girls, she warmed Right up to me
just after a few minute's of being around her. I
don't know if it had to do with that giant lollipop
I brought her..but whatever works right?

Court took me shopping and did my hair while I was there..thanks friend!

Oh the sicklings! Kelli came down with the flu right after her daughter did while I was there. I felt horrible for them! But as you can see we both were still able to laugh and have a good time!

Talon LOVED the one on on time with him and his mommy. He was free to fly, so I took him and only him with me. It was so much fun, he was so good and it was nice being able to just focus and love on him.

Talon and Kaylie just played and played. This is them pretty much running in circles the whole time I was there!

Random Pictures!!!

Here are a few pictures I took while we were with Ben's family over Christmas. There was so much going on that I didn't take A TON of pictures, which I regret now! But, my sweet husband bought me a new Nikon photography camera (well, I put alot of my babysitting money towards it and he took care of the rest. lol) so alot of these pictures are of me just playing with my camera. I gave Brittney and Chad this Snuggie for Christmas. It was HUGE, as you can see!!!

Our gingerbread house. Brooklyn and I did it together, it was so fun

This was our "Christmas Card Shrine!" Every Christmas this is my FAVORITE part, getting cards from everyone else. LOVE IT!

Daddy's little girl

Let me tell you about this little man. He tells me about five times a day how "pretty and how bootiful" I am. He does it to Brooklyn, even to my mom. We were in Walmart yesterday and there was a little girl about his age and he walked up and told her she was a very pretty girl. Such a ladies man!!
