Catch up again!!

Oh the laziness - or should I say sickness. I mean we have all been healthy, I just tend to feel really tired. This baby - who is a GIRL!! Kept me barfing till 25 weeks, now I am 29 weeks and barf free. Currently I am really tired and officially gestational diabetic - what a pain. Who in the crap wants to prick their finger 4 times a day. I am sorry for all those who do it all the time. If you want to know what the little lady with no name looks like - close your eyes and imagine and ultrasound picture - YOU GOT IT!! That is what she looks like. K has taken to calling her sushi, I don't think that is going to go away even when we have a proper name. I keep reminding him he is NOT Japanese, and raw fish wrapped in seaweed and rice is not a good nickname for the 1st girl in the family. Here are some pics catching up on all the boring things you have missed.

Here is J at football camp. Whoever thought I would have a child who LOVED football. I don't think we will be doing a league, but he loved the 4 day camp he went to. They did real drills, running, dropping, catching, and tackling. He did this after a whole day of regular camp. He would go to day camp from 9-3 and football camp from 6-9 at night. That kid has more energy than he knows what to do with. GIVE IT TO ME!! Usually there would be a scrimmage everyday and he was PARANOID of being skins. I had to go tell the guy in charge that he had to be a shirt because there was NO WAY he was going to take his shirt off!! What a funny kid..

We went to CA for 3 weeks in August. K didn't come and as the day drew near to leave I wondered - what the HECK am I doing!! Serious I must have been smoking some serious crack. I didn't puke a ton in CA but I didn't feel that well either. We lived our lives on the Wii. At least 2 of the 3 weeks I had another boy cousin staying with us. My boys could not get enough of their cousins. We camped in Santa Barbara with our family - it was so fun and DIRTY!!

We also visited Legoland - 2 days of fun. We have never been and it was a blast. It is amazing what those crazy people have done with legos. We spent the night in a hotel near by which always makes the kids happy as can be. Why are hotels so exciting for them?

K and I escaped for a few days on a cruise to the Bahamas. Here is K in some thing - yeah I forget the name. What I remember about this day is of course the WATER!! Honestly how can the water be so clear, and so PERFECT!! I could have chilled in the water the whole trip. The temperature was so perfect that there were people loungin in the water alcoholic drinks in hand. CRAZY!! K didn't go in because he is not a fan of water - weirdo. I was a little irritated we didn't get to go snorkeling but the ship said no pregos on excursions. After the trip to the beach k pulled out his map and said lets go. That is right - unlike normal people who go in a safe group of tourists on a bus to explore - k wanted to do it on foot. So we walked, and walked, and walked. I was nervous at times because we were obviously the only tourists around, but it was all fine and fun in the name of exploring. I probably walked 6 miles that day which lead to many cases of braxton hicks as we were truckin along.

We did a weekend to Niagara and Palmyra NY a couple of weekends ago. Here is a pic of the Moroni Monument in Palmyra. What is so significant about this you say - well have you seen the Hill Cumorah this thing sits on. How could my child resist - it was very easy for me to resist. ROLLING DOWN the hill - 3XS I might add. He felt a little ill after. J kept begging and I thought, GO FOR IT! So J rolled, S ran, and K threw their shoes that fell off down the hill.

Here we are suited up for our trip around the falls. We stayed on the Canada side for a night and had a blast. The Canadian side is WAY better than the US side.

Sacred grove pic - this pic shows the dire need for haircuts in our family! S has tons of religious questions all the time. The week before we had been discussing how we had the fullness of the gospel and how this is the only true church. When I was telling him about the 1st vision and how Joseph was told not to join any church because none of them had the fullness of the gospel. S got really serious and questioned me. I thought we had the truth - SERIOUS I am not ready to explain these things to a 5 yr old. I did my best and I think he understands.

Halloween - soccer players. They look like they belong in some Japanese animation show - that hair really needs to be cut!!

We made some cracker houses after FHE the other day. S looks hungry - he attacked it the next day.

Frosting fun with dad.

Man I can't believe I just wrote all that. A funny story. The other day S got off the bus from school and I noticed his pants had a big "I peed my pants spot". So I calmly asked - hey did you pee your pants at school? S had an enthusiastic answer of "YEAH!". I mean he sounded like isn't that great - so then J started saying - yeah I think I peed my pants in Kindergarten too!! We decided it was an experience not to miss in Kindergarten. I guess one day he will figure out its not too cool.
