July 4th!

Amazed! So am I. Grandpa is trying to teach Skyler to play the violin. She doesn't have much of an attention span, but we'll see how things go. Here she is at her first lesson.

Here's Skyler and Jackson ready for our annual neighborhood kids parade!
Kristi and I took the girls to Stadium of Fire for July 4th while my brother Kalun and Aaron stayed home for a boys night with all the little kids. Here's our pictures of events:
SheDaisy performed first. They were really good.

Skyler and her cotton candy at the Show.

Here we all are ready to leave for Stadium of Fire! Did you know that the Stadium of Fire is the largest Stadium fireworks show in the United States! Pretty amazing.

Here the girls are in front of the Jonas Brothers trailer. Skyler wanted to get their autograph, but we never saw them up close. Kyli, Brianna, & Skyler.

The Jonas Brothers Perfoms live at Stadium of Fire! They even performed the original version of Sweet Caroline and encouraged all the parents and grandparents to get up and show the kids that we still got it. It was probably the loudest song with the most audience participation. The Jonas Brothers put on a great show. I may not be a teenie bopper anymore but they were still awesome!

Here we all are at Stadium of Fire 2009! With Kyli back, my sister-in-law had the great idea of us taking Kyli and Skyler to Stadium of Fire this year. The Jonas Brothers were performing this year and we thought it would be a fun girls night out! Fred's grandaughter Brianna was here this week so got 5 tickets and took all the girls. It was a great night and we had a lot of fun! There were some college age girls who sat in front of us and they really liked the girls, so they let them stand on their seats to see the concert. And Skyler for one, screamed through the entire concert she was so excited. And so excited that by the time the Fireworks started, she was too tired to enjoy them and just wanted to go home. By the time we got back to the car, Skyler was practically asleep and she and Kyli fell asleep within minutes of leaving. We had some great seats and I learned that Nick is Skyler's favorite. The fireworks were amazing and we got to see them retire the flag that was made for the 2002 Olympics. It was a great weekend, and we are so thrilled to have Kyli back with Kalun & Kristi again. I feel as though my sister can finally rest in peace. For now, all is right with the world. We have much to be thankful for.


If you didn't know already, baby #3 is on it's way! Due January 16, 2010.
The good news is that I made it to 12 weeks just fine. I was starting to get nervous because I am usually horribly sick and just haven't been this time around. So we go to our 2nd appointment almost as nervous as my first. The student doctor checked for the heartbeat and couldn't find it. She said not to worry because they can be hard to find when they are this small. So my doctor came in and she couldn't find it either. My heart just dropped feeling like we may have lost another one. So they took me back to do another ultrasound and my doctor said there was a very good reason they couldn't find the heartbeat. On the picture we could see very clearly that this baby was jumping around and kicking all over the place so they couldn't find the heartbeat. It is just fine, just active. All I could think was thank goodness, and great that's all I need another overlyactive child. But all is good, and my doctor says that making it this far is good and things will most likely be fine.
Well I spoke too soon when I thought I was feeling good. So we had a few hours of excitement after this appointment and then I started to feel horribly wrong and spent the entire night having what I can only describe as hard contractions. Not having any sleep, and being in horrible pain, we called the doctor in the morning who said not to worry. She sees this with 3rd & 4th pregnancies. The uterus is not contracting just all the other organs in your body are. Oh, is that all! Everthing is moving around to make room for your expanding belly. There's not much they can do to help, just drink plenty of water and get some rest. Things are fine now, and I hope that night was the worst of it. I am now feeling my normal pregnant self and throwing up as usual. And for that I am truly grateful.










If you know me, you know that Halloween is my favorite time of year!
