Ward Camp Out

Over the weekend we went to our old wards camp out. It was lots of fun! The kids had a blast playing with all their cousins! I should of taken pictures but here are a few Daniel took with his phone in the tent and of Ryan playing with his cousins Cosmo and Syriana.

Funny....

Today when I picked Hailey up from school her teacher told me something funny! Hailey told her that I said if we are having a boy then we are going to keep it but if we have a girl then we are going to sell it! I had to laugh so hard over it! It's a good thing I know her teacher pretty well from last year! Hailey is so serious when she tells stories like that, too! When we first found out we were pregnant we told the girls that just as a joke! We made it very clear it was a joke too! Hailey did tell me that she told her teacher that I was joking when I said that!

The girls have been doing so good in school so far! I have finally got to the point of being able to enjoy the break! When school first started I almost felt like a bad mom sending Ashley away all day! Since I have stayed home since she was born I have had her all day everyday. It just felt weird like it wasn't right not having her for half the day. I had to remind myself that every kid goes to school and it's not bad! Did anyone else feel that way when their kids started all day school or am I just weird??!!

The past few days I have finally been feeling just a bit better! For a while there I was so sick all the time! Hopefully it will get better from here! I haven't had the best attitude about the whole having another baby thing but now I am actually getting a little bit excited! Especially knowing that this is the last time I have to do this! And yes Sandi and Mom I do know that it is the last so don't give me a hard time about saying that!!! Hahaha!

1st Day of School

Today was Ashley's 1st day of 1st grade and Hailey's 1st day of Kindergarten! They both said they had a great day! This morning Hailey was so happy and talking nonstop! It was really cute how excited she was. She already knew 3 kids in her class and her teacher! She has the same teacher as Ashley did last year. She actually came with me several times to help last year so she already kind of knew the Kindergarten routine. So Hailey wasn't nervous she was just really excited! Hailey's cousin Malcolm is in her class, too! He is the one in the picture with Hailey! Ashley was a little nervous about being there all day but she did great and seemed to really like it! Over half her class from last year are in her class this year, so she already knew most of the kids! She has 2 teachers that both seem really good! The teachers switch off days, one teaches 2 days and the other does 3 days, then they switch days the next week. I was kind of worried about that at first but both teachers seem great!

How much longer.......

So how much longer is this baby going to take, because I'm about sick of being pregnant already! I'm so sick of being sick. I know I said I wasn't as sick as I was with my other kids but it seems I'm getting sicker everyday. Hopefully it will pass when I'm about 4 months like it did with my others! This baby better be a good baby, cuz I'm telling you after having Ryan as a baby I deserve a good baby. Ryan cried and whined all the time! I use to say it is a good thing he was so cute, because I wouldn't have been able to handle it if he wasn't as cute as he was!! So I didn't get away with no sickness this pregnancy but lets pray this one is a calmer and quieter baby! I just had to gripe about not feeling good! I'm just so sick of it already and I have so much longer to go! Oh and I have like no energy and I can't sleep good already! I can hardly button my baggiest pants, too! YUCK! It seem I start getting bigger and showing a whole lot faster with each kid! Oh well life goes on, sorry about the gripe session!!

Chicken Update

So while we were gone in Idaho one of our chickens got eaten by something. Daniel's sister Amber was checking up on them and found the remains. The kids actually took it OK because it was my chicken not one of theirs. Anyways these chickens are actually really tame and are like a real "pet" for my kids. They let them carry them around all day and play with them! It is so funny! The other night Ashley came inside and says "mom, you've got to see how cute my chicken looks"! So I go outside and this is what I find! The chicken was so calm and it seemed to like being in the baby doll swing! Funny girls!
