aLL iN a WeEk.....Or So!

Since I last wrote a lot has been going on. My Mom took the boys to Gateway Discovery Zone. They had a blast. This place is very cool. Well worth the money. They did not want to leave. The best part was they could do and touch just about anything they want to and it's okay! I didn't have to sit and yell or constantly tell them not to do this or that! After Discovery Zone we went and had lunch at the Mall. I had Panda rc=Express. I was the only the only one who ordered it. My Mom had a few bites but that was it. By that evening my belly hurt so bad. I was in so much pain and discomfort. Then I started throwing up. It was awful. I got food poisoning! I have never had this before and never hope to again. I just wanted to die! The very next morning I had an OB appointment at 10 am. I thought there would be no possible way of making it there by myself with 2 kids in tow. But I did. I really wanted to have the Doctor check everything out and make sure the baby was doing good through all this. He was fine. I just had to be really careful to not get dehydrated and was told to go straight to the ER if I got any worse. I didn't. I was better by that evening. Then my Mom got sick! Not as bad as me. But I knew her pain and felt so bad!!!












Next I have been called as an Activities Day Leader. And tonight was our Daddy, Daughter Regal Ball. So we have been preparing for this the past 2 weeks. My partner Kris has been amazing. She worked so hard on all the props and backdrops. I didn't get any pics tonight but she took tons. I will have to get some from her to post. It was a huge success. All the girls dressed up as princesses. We served cookies and punch. All by candle light. Then we had dancing in the ballroom. A huge gold throne for the girls to sit on and have their picture taken with the Dad's. Another cool thing we did was we had all the Dad's write a letter to their daughters ahead of time. We then typed them out on parchment and rolled them up like scrolls tied with ribbon. It was so fun to see the Dad's dancing with their little girls and getting their sweet letters. I was dreading this night because of all the work I knew it would be. But it turned out great and I had a lot of fun. I am also glad to have it over with!


Today was also had Matt's sister Jamie, her husband Jason and his sister and her 2 little girls stop by and visit. Jamie is also pregnant. About a month ahead of me. Also having a boy! So we of course had to take a belly shot of us together! It was so fun to see them. So glad they stopped by. We love them so much!

A few other highlights. We had our Pony Express Days last weekend. Very fun for the kids. They love the parade. Matt went out early to get us good seats! We had a great BBQ at Alisa's and Jeremy's. Always a blast! We went very gourmet this time. Trying all new recipes. It was fun to do something so different. Too bad I got no pics of the food. It all turned out really good. Lots of very strong flavors. Guess I am not accustomed to all the fancy spices we used! Also the other morning my sweet trouble maker Landen got into the container of bread crumbs. Dumped the entire thing on the floor and was playing in it. When I walked into the kitchen he told me it was sand. And he was having a great time playing in it too! To bad I came along and ruined all his fun! I didn't freak out. I actually stayed very calm and ran and got my camera instead!









Well I have survived another week! Barely! But I am still alive and kicking! So that is good. My poor boys are such troopers putting up with me. Cody told Matt he hates it when I am sick. Well so do I Code! We hope it will be over soon. Oh, I almost forgot. We have Landen officially potty trained. He has done so good. I have still been putting diapers on at night out of fear! But he has been staying dry! Yea! Go Lando!

I had my ultrasound the other day. It was done at St. Marks Hospital. At the Fetal Diagnostic Center. I have been so nervous about how things have been going with this little babe. I know the genetic testing came back great but there can still be many problems that the testing does not pick up. Like neural tube defects and other defects along those lines. So I was so relieved when the ultrasound was done and I was reassured that he is developing nicely. They est. he is around 9 oz. Woo Hoo! Grow baby grow! I had my Mom come with for support since Matt could not be there. I didn't want to be alone if any thing were to be wrong. I even had the boys with me. They were great. The appt. was around an hour long. A long time to sit still. Good thing Grandma came with treats and a little surprise if they were good!



This is Cody and Landen giving thumbs up! Landen is still figuring this one out!!!

Cody's class was all boys! 8 in total!

Cody and his awesome teacher Mrs. Iacona


I forgot to post this last week. Cody had his graduation at preschool. It was so cute. Of course because my kid was in it!!! He had a little speaking part, a solo, and read a book. Again so cute! They had a dinner for all the families after but we had to leave as soon as the program was over because my car broke down and I had borrowed my brother-in-laws car. He needed to get back to Provo. So it was a crazy mad rush evening. I found out my car wasn't working about an hour before I had to go! Sweet! Good thing Justin came to my rescue! Thanks Justin!

Our weekend started out pretty bad. We were all sick. I even came down with bronchitis. I went to the doctor Friday morning because I had such a bad sore throat. I thought maybe I had strep. But no. Just bronchitis! So Friday and Saturday were a bust. Sunday I was going crazy and wanted to get out of the house so bad. So that afternoon we took the boys to Hoogle Zoo! We had a great time. The weather could not have been better. After the Zoo we stopped at This is the Place park. Very cool. So relaxing. I recommend you go if you have not. Then Monday it poured rain all day. So much for any plans anyone had! I was sure glad I went to the Zoo yesterday. We had a BBQ planned with our cousins and Trevor and Shari came too. We just had to move the whole thing indoors. We still had a great time. Always fun to get a 3 day weekend!

Yesterday was so nice. I loved it. We spent the whole day out side. We even went back out after Matt got home from work and watched the sun set. It was a beautiful 90 degree day. Today is to be 94! I love the warmth but not quite ready for it to be that warm! Yesterday morning I did have to take Landen in to the doctor. He was really sick all weekend. He has had flu like symptoms, goopy eyes, ear ache, coughing, barfing, fever and runny nose. Poor kid. He is now on antibiotics and today seems much better. He still played outside yesterday but you could tell he was not feeling well. He took two good naps so that was nice! Here are some fun pics of the boys playing outside in the sun!
