Easter Basket

Tait Visits!


We went to the Wildlife World Zoo while Jason, Kate, and Tait were here. The boys loved the animals- but I think they had more fun at the playground!

Here are a few of our yard pets!

How To Deal With The Arizona Heat

So apparently this is how Josiah is deciding to handle the heat. It had been so hot in the house lately, and it's only March. We haven't turned the AC on yet because we figure it's going to be on full blast for the summer- so let try and save some money while we can. We shut all the blinds, turn all the fans on in hopes that it just might cool the house down a little- however- it doesn't help that much. By about 2 in the afternoon we are all just sweating- walking around in as little clothing as possible! Sy must have been standing behind me when I went to close the door to the refrigerator because he somehow kept it from closing and then just decided to sit a rest for a few and try and cool off!

Our Morning Routine



So this is what Sy does first thing in the morning ( or after breakfast if I can get him to sit down long enough to eat ). We go outside and he gets his Coyotes beanie and his hockey stick and whatever he feels like using as a puck. He basically just walks around acting like he's a big man! I think he watches to much hockey!

And sorry for no updates so far about the sonogram. They messed up our appointment and had to reschedule it for Friday :(

Hello Everyone!!

Sorry for the lack of posts lately!

It takes me a while to get back into the swing of things after having visitors, and we have had people here off and on since January. But I'm not complaining- I love it!

For those of you who don't know- we expecting our second baby!
Lot's of people have been asking how I'm feeling so I thought I would update everyone and answer all the questions at once.

I am feeling great! There were about 4 or 5 weeks where I felt sick most of the day- but nothing compared to how I felt when I was pregnant with Sy! 

I've had the occasional sciatic back pain- the worst of which lasted a week- but that has gone away for now as well. Let's hope it stays away!!

So I really am doing great so far! I'm almost 20 weeks. Tuesday we go in for our sonogram and hopefully find out what we got coming our way!! 

I've considered maybe not telling people- but knowing Brad- that may not be possible. He is horrible at keeping secrets- especially something like this!!

Hopefully this answers everyone's questions- sorry that I haven't updated everyone on how were doing- but Sy is at this age where me sitting at a computer doesn't go over well :)

I'm sure we'll have some more to post this week after our Dr.'s appt!.
