14 weeks

I went to the doctor today. As I was laying there he searched for the heartbeat everytime he thought he had it it was gone. I got worried. He said well lets go peak I can't be sure. Well we peaked and saw very quickly why we couldn't hear it this child never stops moving! Also my placenta is in the front so it made it hard to find it cause he kept hearing me. Anyway little scare but all is good. I am a little nervous this little one is already so active I feel my insides are going to be beat to a pulp when this baby is bigger. Well It may be the last I won't have much left in there when it's done with me. Hopefully it slows down a bit. LOL :)

We spent yesterday at the Farmington Festival days. We had a great time at the parade Since our Kaysville parade experience this year was so horrible I think it is time to bury the hatchet on that parade. We will not be going there next year. Have I ever told you how much I love our little town. The parade was great, people so courteous, carnival was fun. We got 2 new frogs for pets. We went to the fireworks that night and they were really good this year. So overall I have to thank our little town of Farmington (not so little anymore) For giving us a great celebration of our wonderful country.

I love America and am very grateful that I live in this country. The fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays. It was so nice to celebrate it with great friends this year. The older I get the more I've come to appreciate this country and realize how much I have taken for granted while I was younger and still do. For some reason when the flag comes I almost tear up for the gratitude and love I have for the men and women that fight for the freedoms we seem to take for granted. We are truly blessed.

This is a horrible picture because it is a picture of a picture. But Here is Baby #4. I missed the fun bike parade with the kids Chad got to take them. Because I went to my first dr. appointment. This pregnancy has not been real for me until I saw this picture. I am the kind of person that the minute I get a positive test I go to the doctor. This time I am seeing a new dr (thanks to insurance) I am not happy about this at all but anyway... I called to make an appt. and they said oh we don't need to see you until 8 weeks well if you know me I find out I am preg. usually around 3 weeks so it has been along wait. And I really didn't think I was so after a bout 6 weeks I took another test and it was positive so I went with it. Well Sure enough I went to the dr. on monday and I am 10 weeks almost 11 now. The baby is doing well everything looks good. It was neat to see it moving around on the ultrasound you could see it's little hand waving. So cute. I left just feeling excited.

This pregnancy has been very easy on me. I get nauseated just in the evenings usually when Chad is home well at least when he is in town. So that has been a blessing. I have to keep small amounts of food in me if I go to long I get sick. And lots of water. I have not thrown up at all with this one so that is why I kept thinking maybe I wasn't the only difference with this one is that I am REALLY tired! Chad is determined that we are not going to find out the sex on this one. I do NOT like waiting and do not like surprises but I am curious to see if my intuition is right. So I am going along with him and decided not to find out. Preston is very mad about this and says it is not fair. He along with pretty much all of chad's family. I think that is why Chad doesn't want to find out. Just to bug his family. And drive them crazy.

I know I have posted a lot tonight. It has been a while so I wanted to get the pics up and update what has been going on. Thanks for reading!

Our primary had a fun bike parade and pancake breakfast for the kids and they all had a really great time. Their bikes were fun to decorate and they did a great job.

Chad's Baby!!!!

This is Chad's Beautiful Garden

He has done an amazing job this year. He spends A LOT of time in it but it is beautiful!

It is HOT!!!!!!

Summer Buzzes

The boys wanted buzzes and so after Church Chad buzzed their heads. I think they look cute! Chad did a great job.

I came into the laundry room the other day and here is where I found Karleigh. She said she wanted to pet the bunny! I had to get a picture she is so cute!

Karleigh loves to help cook. I get so nervous sometimes because she doesn't like to help she likes to cook it on her own. I am fighting her for room. She is so fun.

My sister inlaw got a new English bulldog named Zoe she has been a lot of fun. my kids just love her to death. But it reminds me we will never have another dog!!!!

Gifts from Germany

My mom's sister in Germany sent the kids a package they were so excited to open. Preston got a pair of sunglasses with interchangeable lenses he loves it

Colton got a stuffed tiger that he takes everywhere with him and just loves

Karleigh got a new blankie and some pillow shams.

The kids love their gifts and Preston just thinks it is so awesome that they are from all the way from Germany.
