I Hate Waiting....

Does anyone know a secret to get this baby out NOW???

I am so done being pregnant, especially in Arizona where it is still 106 degrees out. I can't wait for Fall to come.
Since i have to wait a little longer i've been doing lots of baby projects and LOTS of online shopping. I don't know how people decide what to buy their girls, i need one of everything.

Here are a few of the things i've been up too as of late. My mom has asked me several times to put these pictures up so here you go mother.
This was my bassinet when i was a baby, so my mom sent it down for me to use with my little girl. I sprayed painted it and made a skirt to dress it up a bit.

And of course i made a few more blankets, just because every baby needs a bajillion blankets!

I used this idea here for this blanket.

And i received a gift in the mail from my Sister and Dad...thanks guys I LOVE IT!!!

My kids were almost as excited as i was to open it!

She's BEAUTIFUL!!!

Brody starts Pre-School

This kid could not wait for pre-school to start.
He would ask everyday if it was time to go yet, and now that it has started he wants to go everyday. So to say that he LOVES pre-school may be an understatement. He knows almost everybody's name already in his class and has memorized the snack chart so he knows who's turn it is. He adores his teacher Mrs.Nicole and can tell you every toy she has in her pre-school.

The first day was show and tell so Brody came down wearing his back pack with his owl aka"Star Wars" strapped to the back. This kid thinks of the funniest things to do.

Brody has also started tumbling class 1 day a week. Brett said it was ok that i put him in as long as we called it "tumbling" and not "gymnastics." Brody doesn't care what we call it he can't wait to go back every week. He has lots of his friends in his class which makes it even more fun for him.

Here he is already to go.
The first day he went he noticed that the girls were wearing one piece tight outfits and he says "mom what do i get to wear?" I had to explain to him that boys get to wear cool basketball shorts and t-shirts. He seems content with that thank goodness.

Here is Peyton all ready to go to his friend Makenzie's birthday party. He was the only boy and loved every minute of it. I love that he doesn't care about those kinds of things yet. And i can't believe he his old enough to go to birthday parties by himself. It is so weird watching him grow up so fast.

I love my dudes so much!

First Day of Kindergarten

This little dude started Kindergarten today, i can't believe he is old enough. He woke up bright and early because he was so excited!!! I am so excited for him too but hate that i can't be there just in case he needs me....yes that is the control freak in me coming out. I hope he makes lots of new friends and loves every minute of it.
We love you Peyton!!!

He is such a stud with his new hair cut

I don't know where they come up with these faces???

Standing in line all ready to go inside

That's Peyton's cute teacher in the black "Mrs.Poulson"
and yes i called her "Sister Poulson" the first time i met her... i'm an idiot. Luckily she played it off cool for me.

The only one in our family that wasn't so excited for Peyton to start school was Brody! He cried the entire way home....so sad.

Bye Grandma

We love when Grandma comes to town and hate when she leaves. The boys are already missing her and can't wait for to her to come back when the baby is born.
It's hard to get pics with my kids so were are a few that we happened to snap while they were running through.

Peyton and Grandma...
there were a couple nights we would find him in Grandmas bed all snuggled in.

I think Grandma learned a few wrestling moves while she was here. And Brody made her chase him everyday, i think we tired her out.

And this little man will be going to preschool soon, i don't know who is more excited him or me?

Baby Kami...

In all her GLORY...at 28 weeks and 5 days!

This little girl is finally growing!
After having a little scare with her measuring small and having a marker for down syndrome she is in the clear. All the tests have come back Negative for Downs and any other tests they could think of to run on me. And she is only measuring a few days behind instead of a few weeks, which you can tell by the size of my belly these days. I'm so grateful to be carrying a healthy baby and can't wait to meet her. I hope she's ready for her crazy brothers to love on her and teach her lots of bad things!!!

Her little legs...
you can't tell in this picture but they are all nestled up on the right side of my ribs. They have been there for 2 weeks and yes i'm dying, i hope she decides to move soon.

28 weeks
I feel like i've grown so much in the past few weeks and this picture just proves it. (don't mind the stupid face i'm making, i didn't know if i should smile or not)


The crazies...

These 2 could wrestle all day long, I'm so glad they get along 95% of the time. It's made this pregnancy a little easier.

SLACKER....

This summer has gone by so fast and without any documentation at our house. It doesn't help that i lost my battery charger for my camera and had 2 dead batteries until i found it under our bed this week.

We have been trying to keep cool in the 110+ weather we have been having. For July 4th we rented a bounce/water house slide. It was a blast the kids played on it for 5 hours straight and then again the next day. So worth it.

We also play out in the sprinkler to keep cool, hopefully next year we will have a pool.

And my mom has been here this month helping me with "BABY PROJECTS"! I'm so glad she came and took charge cause they still wouldn't have been done.

This is one of my favorites so far, "The vintage baby quilt"

Oh and i painted and distressed this old antique dresser for the babes room. I love it.


And we made the bedding too. And when when i say "WE" i mean i picked it all out and told my mom what i wanted....and VOILA! I did help...a little.
The ruffled crib skirt,
i got the idea from here. But wasn't willing to pay the price.

The cute sign my mom made for the wall

We still have some added touches to make to the room but that will come.

Prego Pic

I took this a couple weeks ago and have tried to dodge the camera since, so this may be the only prego pic i share.

21 weeks

I have a feeling my butt is growing faster than my belly.... why does this always happen to me? And if you were just thinking because you eat like crap Melissa then your probably right! Still not fair!!!
