Every year I tell myself that I am going to get family pictures in all the wildflowers that surround us every spring. I think he last time I did was when Sam was 2 years old. Sunday we had such beautiful weather we decided last minute to take a drive and snap some pictures. It was literally last minute. We ended up driving an hour round trip just to end up 10 minutes away from home. The best field of bluebonnets is right in our backyard (not literally)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Trying to get some decent pictures that day totally reminded me as to why we never have decent pictures. It's insane. With four kids it is literally impossible to have them all cooperate at the same time. </div>

This girl brings out so many emotions (and mostly within a matter of minutes) Lately her new thing is switching outfits 50 times a day. (and no, I'm not exaggerating) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Some of her outfit choices are quite comical. Eli was really confused by this mask she was wearing. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Notice her necklace, she will not wear this dress without wearing the necklace.</div>

I love beginning a new year and making resolutions. It seems like the past few years my goals have all been the same. I suppose it's either because they are really good goals or I haven't mastered them yet. Actually it's probably both. </div>

I am so looking forward to 10:30 church in January! </div>

I just love this time of year. I was so hoping that the sickness would stay away (since we've basically been battling one thing after another since September) Unfortunately that may not happen since Carly and Sam both were feeling yucky last night. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All I want for Christmas is my family to not be sick. (and for all my kids to sleep till 8:00) is that so much to ask for?!?</div>

It took the whole summer practically but our new porch is finally done! (The top is after, bottom is before.) A new front porch wasn't the first thing on our list to get done but after looking at the before picture I'm so glad we did it. Our old porch was actually becoming quite the safety hazard after having multiple people almost fall through the railing we decided we should probably do something about it. We extended it all the way to the end of the new addition, we moved our front door to the middle of the bay window (which made it possible to make our master closet larger.) We also were able to add a large covered area on the porch (my dream was to have the whole front porch covered but it just wasn't possible.) We added a little walkway from the front porch around the house to the back porch. We also were able to add some landscaping, I've wanted landscaping since the day we moved here 4 years ago. I am so amazed at what a difference it can make! </div>

This little man turned 6 months old on the 18th</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He has been such a joy to our family. I am so grateful for his happy little personality. </div>
-He is so easy to get a smile from him and he will smile at anyone really. <br />
-He loves, loves, loves bath time. I get soaked from all his splashing that he does. You can just see the excitement on his face when he's in the water.<br />
-He has the biggest head out of all my kids. <br />
-He wears mostly 9 months clothes but he'll fit into some 12 month<br />
-not sure of his weight, I take him to his doctor on Wednesday<br />
-He loves most baby food that I have offered him. He is still nursing and takes formula.<br />
-He has only rolled from back to tummy once. He wants to do it all the time he just doesn't have it quite down yet.<br />
-His sleeping at night is still very random. Some nights he'll wake up twice, other nights it seems like he'll be up every hour.<br />
-His naps are becoming more predictable. He usually takes a quick snooze in the morning. Then another nap after lunch and then one more around 4. He is ready for bed by 730-8:00 at night.<br />
-He loves to chew on his fingers.<br />
- If he's not wearing socks he loves to play with his toes.<br />
-He is still so stuffy in his nose. <br />
-He loves to watch the other kids play.<br />
-He likes helping Chad mow the lawn.<br />
Our family has been so blessed by this little guy. He has been such an awesome baby. I couldn't have asked for a better caboose. <br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My two babies. I know this time in my life will be fleeting. I know I've done this before with Carly and Sam being so close in age as well but with these two it just seems so much more challenging. Possibly because I don't remember all the little details that I got stressed over when Carly and Sam were little. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love these two. I try to remind myself every day to enjoy this time in my life because before I know it these two will be off to school and I'll be left alone, as enticing as that sounds.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Most days I find myself just happy if I get dressed, in actual clothes and not sweats and a t-shirt. I consider it a good day when I'm able to keep the kitchen clean (forget about the rest of the house, that just doesn't happen)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I find myself going from one baby to the next (I think we all can agree that Annie is still a baby with needs almost as demanding as Eli) It's a struggle to find a balance between giving Eli the attention he needs and the attention that Annie desires. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hate the fact that I am grateful the other two are in school. I love them and miss them but it's a challenge for those couple hours after school until bedtime. I try not to just go through the motions. I try to connect and have real conversations with them but some days it just doesn't happen. Some days I pick them up from the bus and then don't really see them until bedtime. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Four kids has been a challenge to say the least but each day it gets better and easier. Each day I find myself being able to accomplish just one more task than the day before. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will miss these little faces one day. Just like I miss the little faces of Carly and Sam. In a way, it's kind of fun to be reliving what my life was a couple years ago. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am beyond grateful for the opportunity I have to be a mom to four awesome little kids. Each one so different from the other. Each one teaches me something different. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love this job (even if I get woken up every two hours during the night)</div>

My baby is 4 months old today!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Eli is seriously the best baby. He has a few crying moments here and there but for the most part he is just so pleasant. He is so smiley all the time. He even giggles when we change his clothes. It's the cutest thing! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He still doesn't have the "sleeping through the night" thing down but we are working on that. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
His naps aren't really on a schedule either (which is so different than the other three) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He is really into spitting bubbles right now and he found his voice and loves to jibber jabber.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Like I said, he loves to smile and your almost guaranteed a smile just by talking to him.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He is not too fond of laying down while he's awake. He wants to be able to sit up and watch everything. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He seems to have a stuffy nose all of the time, not sure why.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He spits up the least out of all of my kids. It has been a nice change.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He LOVES bath time. He will go nuts kicking his legs and splashing water in his own face. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I just can't get enough of his cute little face. I just want him to stay little just a little while longer. </div>

Here are some pictures of our ice storm we had a couple weeks ago. I know it's nothing compared to the northern states but my kids got excited about all the icicles. I guess if they can't get snow then icicles will have to do. It was really pretty to see, although I'm glad it didn't last long :)</div>

Love this tractor for many reasons. One of those reasons is my Grandpa. I will always think of him when I see this tractor. He spent many hours on this thing when he came to visit. It still is unreal that I won't see him on this tractor again but I am grateful for the memories that were made here.</div>

We have this cement trough near our barn that we've always talked about getting rid of but never really knew how. It constantly has water in it so we decided to add some goldfish to it. Now it's just become our outside fish tank. Annie loves to walk over there to look at the fish.</div>

Eli is slowly growing out of his newborn stage and loosing all his newborn looks. Before I know it he'll be crawling all over the place. I feel like I need/want to capture every second of his day since I know he's my last. I just want to freeze time for a while. He's growing out of being so sleepy during the day so I had to capture some pictures of him while I could. I just love watching babies sleep. He is such a good and happy baby and every now and then he lets out the loudest chuckle while he is sleeping. </div>

I have been terrible at blogging lately. I at least wanted to get some pictures up for memories sake. We haven't been up to much other than just surviving. I'm finally getting to a point to where I feel like I have some control over my life. Eli is getting on more of a schedule which definitely helps. </div>

I had to snap some pictures of Annie in her Christmas dress that we never actually used because we took a couple weeks off of church. Plus the fact Eli got sick and our trip to Utah got delayed which meant we didn't make it to Utah in time for Christmas Sunday. At least her dress is red, it can double for a Valentines dress.</div>

Eli at 2 months</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've been terrible at keeping track of milestones (on the blog anyway) For the most part Eli is such a good baby. For a while he seemed to be more grumpy when he wasn't sick. Around 2 months he started to get sick again, congested and coughing. Luckily it didn't turn into pneumonia again. He wakes up about 3 times during the night. He is super fidgety when it comes to nursing, makes it kind of difficult but were managing. His naps are sporadic. Sometimes he'll nap great and some days he just wants to be held all day. He is just starting to smile randomly. </div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My plans for the day were to shop for Chad's birthday. My plans were changed....</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I woke up around 6:00 am because of course I was super uncomfortable. I was on the couch, I got up to pee and then lied back down. I felt a little pop from inside of me and I remembered hearing that could mean my water broke. I panicked for about 2 seconds and then got up to go to the bathroom. Nothing came out so I wrote it off and decided to just get up for good. It was 6:30am when I felt a pretty good contraction but not much more painful than the contractions I'd been having for weeks before. We had planned on taking the kids to school but Carly was already out of bed and 5 minutes later Sam popped out of his room all dressed and ready to go (which never happens!) We figured since they're all ready they'd be able to ride the bus. I kept getting contractions but they were sporadic. Some would be 2 minutes apart and others would be 5. They were still manageable. I still made lunch for the kids. I just paused when a contraction came and then finished what I was doing when it ended. The kids got on the bus at 7:30am. Chad called his mom (not sure exactly what time whether before the kids left or after) Annie was still in bed so I got dressed. This whole time I was having contractions but I wasn't too worried because in my mind I thought they would be so painful. Chad's mom showed up to our house in record time. (A HUGE shout out to my Mother-in-law. She was such a great help Monday and Tuesday. I knew my other kids were in great hands and I didn't have to worry once! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!) I was still debating on whether or not it was the right time to head to the hospital. Once his mom showed I actually went about 10 minutes with no contractions so that really had me questioning. I didn't want it to be a false alarm. Then, i had once contraction that had me worried and within minutes Chad and I were off to the hospital and Annie was helping Mimi feed the cows. Once in the car my contraction really sped up coming every 3 minutes (roughly) They were definitely more intense and at one point I felt like he was going to push his way out! </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Of course, it was a Monday morning so of course there was lovely traffic. Luckily my husband had guts (or he was super nervous) he flipped on the emergency lights and rode in the emergency lane. The whole time there I was breathing through contractions, trying to relax in between, praying that everything would turn out ok. WE pulled up to the hospital doors and I sat up to get out and Voila! my water broke. It wasn't a gush but it definitely was my water. Chad got me a wheelchair and wheeled me in. Once in the exam room they wanted me to change into a gown when all of a sudden the floor was wet. My water had officially broken. It was just lovely. Almost immediately the contractions got super intense. They checked me to see how far along I was. I was honestly expecting to be dilated to a 5 but no....I heard the numbers 8-9 and I was in shock!! They immediately wheeled me out into the delivery room. I don't remember much other than I was getting super annoyed with some of the nurses. They were super nice and helpful but they kept asking me questions for their stupid paperwork. All I kept thinking was "HELLO! I'm having a baby here!" They kept going back and forth about if it was too late for an epidural. I figure they were just trying to find a nice way to say it was too late. I finally told them if I was going to be ready to deliver soon then I'd go without one. So, they scratched the epidural idea. I couldn't believe it myself. Was I really going to do this? Could I do this? I admit, throughout this whole pregnancy I toyed with the idea of epidural free. I read up on the hypnobirthing and the whole time I kept telling myself that I could do it. So, deep down inside I was hoping for this exact scenario. That I would arrive too late for an epidural, I know that I'm not strong enough to turn one down unless I had no choice. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway....After about an hour of labor (seemed like eternity!) And a lot of arguing with the nurses, telling them I had to push, that I basically couldn't stop my body from pushing my doctor walked in and said it was time to have the baby. I was so relieved and yet scared at the same time. I tried to not be scared because I knew that would make the pain worse. To spare you details (I'll save those for my actual journal) Let's just say that I don't think Chad has ever heard me scream so loud since he's known me. Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever heard myself scream so loud. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Everything was such a blur, I honestly don't remember much of the seconds after he was born. All I remember was laying there, staring at the ceiling, catching my breath and thinking "Did I really just do this?" </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was able to having skin to skin time with him for over an hour before he was measured and weighed and all of that stuff. I loved it! I also loved the fact that I wasn't numb. I could move my legs, I could get up and get cleaned off and hour after having him. THAT was nice! </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This next part may be TMI for some of you. After I got up out of bed and cleaned up, clean sheets on the bed I was able to get back in bed to relax and enjoy the moment. Almost immediately I was hit a contraction. I remember after birth contraction but they were nothing like this. We joked that there was a twin in there. About 3 minutes later I was hit with another. I got super nauseous and very lightheaded, I felt like I was going to faint. I told Chad to go get someone. The nurse came in and immediately I saw the look on her face and new something was not ok. Everything again was a huge blur. I remember them rushing get an IV in. Someone gave me a shot in my leg and another nurse was pushing on my stomach. All the while I was trying not to faint or puke. I sort of just zoned out. Chad later said I was so pale. My blood pressure dropped to 58/32, my pulse was 47. I'll spare some graphic details but basically I had postpartum hemorrhage. I honestly felt like death. It scared me so bad and I think I'm still recovering from the shock of natural childbirth and the emotions of having that complication. I know it could have been much worse. I am just so grateful I had people around me who worked so hard to take care of me. Poor Chad, saw things that I'm pretty sure he wishes he could forget. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway, I am so unbelievably grateful this little guy is here (and two days early!) It still took us a couple hours to decide that Eli would be his first name. It took until an hour before we left for home to decide Holt for his middle name.</div>

I'm not a huge Halloween fan, I'll be the first to admit that. I really would be ok skipping right over Halloween and into Thanksgiving but....with kids that's just not possible.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Instead of carving pumpkins (which again, not my favorite thing) we opted for painting pumpkins and the kids were just as happy, if not happier. They each took their time to create their masterpiece. Annie painted a little here and a little there and mostly covered her body (which she did not like so much) She can't stand to have dirty hands. Once the kids were done we decided it was time to paint my pumpkin. I've never been pregnant (I take that back, HUGE pregnant) so close to Halloween. At first they thought it was weird to be painting me but they soon got over that and went to town and did a great job!</div>

We have been finally getting some rain around here. A little late for our hay fields but it is appreciated non the less. Annie loves to be outside and rain definitely did not stop her. She loved running (and sometimes falling, darn boots) around in the puddles and rain. She of course was sad when it was time to go in. </div>

After three years of staring at the hideous colors in our bedroom(red walls with yellow beadboard?? no thanks!) I like red and yellow together just not on huge walls! We finally decided it was time to paint, now we are wondering why we waited so long!! It's amazing what fresh paint and a little bit of furniture rearrangement can do!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now the hard/fun part, decorating. That will probably have to wait till after baby (which by the way, will take over our room in a matter of weeks!)</div>

This last picture is of the little room just off to the side of our bedroom. We figured we'd freshen it up as well and get rid of the dark wood paneling. It definitely brightened up the room!</div>

Not much has been going on around here, thus my lack of posts. Yesterday was Columbus day so the kids were out of school. I caught this moment last night and I just had to get a picture. It doesn't happen very often where all of my kids are sitting still, even with a movie going. </div>

I'm really really hoping I'll have this baby early, not too early, just a couple days, that's all I'm asking.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm getting limited on maternity clothes that still fit me well. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I spend most of my days chasing after Annie and trying to keep up with cleaning my house. But it seems like with just that I get way exhausted. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just can't wait for this little one to make his debut. </div>

I've made it. The final stretch! (literally) It seems like it's taken forever to get to this point but again, like everything else in life I will blink and it will be over. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*I've been feeling pretty decent most of the time. I have really been going through the nesting phase. Some days are worse than others. I am getting a lot done which I am glad about but it seems like I'm never satisfied with the way my house is organized. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*I have heartburn pretty much 24/7. It doesn't matter what kind of food I eat. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Baby boy likes to move but I'm okay with that, even when I get jabbed in places that don't feel so great. It helps me know that he's OK.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Still don't have a name for this little dude. I'm not stressed about it though. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*I can't stand for long periods of time or I feel like my legs will give out on me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*I have all the baby clothes ready and put away. I've had to use major self control at times when walking by the baby section at Target. Curse Target for selling such adorable baby clothes!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Sleeping at night is 50/50. One night I'll sleep great and the next night I'll toss and turn.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*I haven't had much of an appetite lately, I think the hot weather mixed with the lack of stomach space is the reason.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*I'm just really ready for this baby boy to be here. Not so sure how Annie will deal with it, I'm kind of nervous about that. She's my partner during the day for the next two months, it'll be a shock when we throw a new baby into the mix. Unfortunately she has already been reverting back to her "waahhh-nnie" stage which is throwing me for a loop. But, like everything, we will get through this phase and onto the next. </div>

The end of summer has come. All in all it was a great summer, lots of memories were made, and lots of fun was had. We spent the last week of summer taking it easy and getting ready for school. Carly had a great idea to make her own Repunzel hair. It was quite clever. </div>

He was so excited! Right before we left for school I could sense a little bit of nervousness. He got really cuddly with me. Taking him to class was bitter/sweet for me. He's been my sidekick the past two years Carly has been in school. It was weird dropping off my little man. He got straight to work coloring the picture on his desk. I hope and pray that he has a good day!</div>

I can't believe she's in 2nd grade!! She was SUPER excited to go back to school. She really couldn't contain her excitement. She loves school and everything about it. I know she'll have a great day!</div>

Here's my belly at 26 weeks. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm feeling pretty darn good. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*I even had enough motivation and energy to repaint our master bathroom while Chad was out of town.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Sleeping is not so great. I'm dead tired during the day but of course bedtime comes and I'm wide awake. I also end up waking up super early. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*I crave these yummy, pretty healthy chocolate muffins I found on pinterest. I could make and eat them everyday. I also am loving tomato, avacado, cucumber and Italian Dressing for lunch. oh yeah, and a bowl of ice cream in the evening. ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*It's hard to bend over and pick things up so I usually have Sam or Carly pick things up for me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*I have a really weird dry patch of skin on the top of my right hand, not sure if its pregnancy related.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*It's super HOT here, we don't go outside much.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*We went to the lake on Saturday and it felt so good to swim.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*We still haven't decided on a name. We really haven't discussed it much. I actually don't mind waiting till we have him to give him a name. He is "baby boy" right now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Carly wants to name him Buddy. As in "Buddy the Elf"</div>

These are the days for sure. I am trying to soak in every minute and be grateful for every minute, every mess that is made, every fight I have to break up, every tear I have to wipe, every diaper I have to change. It all goes by way to quick and I just don't like it. Before I know it I'll be sending this sweet little "baby boy" off to school and it breaks my heart. I look forward to the future, I look forward to no more potty training, no more diapers, no more late night awakenings but......I will miss my life as I know it right now in this moment.</div>

I already posted some of these on facebook but for memories sake I thought I'd write down a few things about Annie at this age. (Man, I wish I would've done this for Carly and Sam)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*She has mastered walking and is now running everywhere.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*She loves to pull my kitchen rags off the stove and walk around with them on her head or over her face. She has run into walls but that doesn't seem to stop her from doing it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*She will not keep bows on her head. Drives me crazy!<br />*She sleeps like a champ. Goes to bed around 7:30 or 8:00pm, wakes up around 7:30 or 8:00am</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*She LOVES to be outside. She will constantly go to the door and try to open it. She will even go and find our shoes and bring them to us.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*If she hears the train go by she runs to the door saying "choo choo"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*We try to keep Carly and Sam's bedroom doors closed (because of legos) if she sees them open that's where she'll go.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*She just recently realized we have Oscar and loves to play with him.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*She was such a good baby at DisneyWorld. Hardly ever fussed. Took short naps all three days. I was amazed!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*When she wants our attention she'll come to us saying "uh uh uh uh" and then run to whatever it is she wants.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*She is very attached to her binky. I know we need to start breaking her of it but I think it's harder for me than for her.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*She has learned there are lots of fun things in the kitchen cupboards.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*So far, the words we can understand are "binky" "kitty" "choo choo" "Daddy" She will say "mommy" but not directly to me.</div>

I am officially half-way through this pregnancy. In a way it feels like it's taken forever to get to this point but then I think the next half will probably (hopefully) fly by!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*I haven't been to great at taking belly pictures but I guess that 's what happens with a 4th child. Plus, I feel like I was just at this stage (oh wait, I was with Annie!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
* I am feeling pretty great these days! The sickness and yuckiness it officially behind me. It feels so nice to get up in the morning and have an appetite or the desire to actually do something with my day!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*We just got back from our trip to Florida. 3 days in Disney World almost did me in!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*I have been feeling baby move for a couple weeks now but it is definitely getting stronger every day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*We'll find out the gender this coming Monday (the 8th) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
* Haven't had any food craving lately other than the fact that I can eat most food and not feel sick about it! Hooray!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*The nights are starting to get restless. I'm not sleeping very well but that is just the name of the game.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*I have no clue what we'll name this baby whether it's a boy or a girl. I'm out of ideas.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Not feeling huge yet but bending over is getting a little difficult.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*I think Carly and Sam forget that I'm even pregnant sometimes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*I'm not looking forward to the heat of the summer (who does really) I've never been pregnant in August, we'll see how it turns out :)</div>

The Summer has begun! I must say I was quite excited. Slow summer mornings take me back to the days before school was even in the picture. Mornings were slow and easy, Sam and Carly stayed in their pj's half the morning. I love it! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I admit though, I was a little nervous about having all three kids at home again. Last summer was not so fun (yes, I had just had a baby) This summer is turning out to be quite different. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Carly and Sam are actually getting along (knock on wood) Annie is loving the entertainment they bring. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In a couple days we'll be headed off to Florida-Disneyworld-the beach. It's an exciting time!</div>

The other day Annie was swinging and Sam dropped the kitten in Annie's lap. She immediately went in for loves and kisses. It was so cute!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Just wanted to do a little updating before I forget</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I got to fly up to SLC last week for a couple days to visit with family. It was just Annie and I so it was somewhat of a mini vacation for me (or so I thought, Annie was a little stinker most the time and would freak out if I left her sight, but aside from that it was relaxing) Earlier the month of may we found out my Grandpa (known as Grandpa Great to my kids) found out he has a form of Leukemia. Totally unexpected (who really expects that though) At first they gave him 2 months so I Immediately searched for the cheapest tickets I could find (which weren't very cheap) Luckily after his first round of chemo they realized he may just last a little longer than what the doctors thought. Such a blessing! So, I probably didn't have to rush up there but I'm so glad I did. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also go to visit with my Grandma Holt and finally get a picture of her and Annie together. Surprisingly Annie leaned in to give her a couple kisses. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I stayed at my sister's house so I got to spend time with her while she recovered from her own surgery and also with my nieces and nephew and my mom who drove up from St. George. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My dad and another sister made a short trip as well so It was nice to spend time with them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was a quick trip but so worth it! (the weather was especially welcoming!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm 16 weeks pregnant today. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*Still too lazy to take a picture and half the time I haven't showered so I'll probably be lucky to get a picture before 20 weeks.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*The sickness has subsided quite a bit which is a nice relief. Instead of all day it tends to hit maybe once a day and then leave shortly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*I think I've been feeling some movement but still not quite sure if it's baby or just gas (tmi?)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*I really haven't gained any weight which could be from the lack of appetite I've had. I'm slowly getting an appetite but only for certain things.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*I mostly crave mexican food. Mostly from Chipotle. I also will eat most fruit. I have now started feeling like eating salad. The thought of pizza kind of grosses me out as well as buttered toast. I also haven't been a fan of chicken this time around. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*When the sickness subsided the sleepiness came. I seriously need a nap everyday. Not that I always get one. I could also go to bed by 8:30 every night.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*I have a gut feeling that it is another girl.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*This pregnancy seems to be crawling. November seems like so far away but then realizing that I'm almost halfway puts a smile on my face.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

One quick story I wish I had a video camera out for.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This morning Sam, Chad and I were talking in our bedroom. (Carly at school, Annie still sleeping) We were asking Sam "What if the baby was a girl?" He was adamant in saying that "the baby is a boy" We really couldn't convince him otherwise. We then asked "Will you still like the baby if it's a girl?" He said yes. We then decided to pull a twist and say "Well, ya know, if it's a boy you'll have to share Daddy with him." I wish I would've video taped Sam's reaction. The wheels in his head were turning and he had such a worried look on his face. Like, the thought of having to share his dad with another boy was the worst thing ever. That may or may not have changed his mind about wanting a baby brother. </div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Carly had an awards ceremony today in her classroom. I love being able to be a part of all these little class parties and celebrations. It's only going to double next year!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Carly got the "Life Saver Award" She finishes first and is always willing to help others. Her teacher also mentioned that Carly is the top reader in their class. She is reading at 150 words per minute (She later told me that the next child down is reading at 90!) Her teacher has always mentioned how smart and bright Carly is. I for one and proud of this little girl and as silly as it sounds I was almost brought to tears when she came up to receive her award. I can't believe she'll be heading to 2nd grade! When did that happen?!</span></div>
