Thanks everyone for your comments. We are so excited about baby #3. I am of course a little nervous about how I am going to handle 3 kids, but I am sure we will adjust. This pregnancy has been different than my first two. I can't believe how tired I have been and I have been so nauseous. I think I am starting to get past that, because this last week has been so much better. We are excited to find out what we are having, but still have a while to wait. My ultrasound should be around the middle of September. SO I will let everyone know when we find out.

The Big News

Baby Seable due Jan 26, 2009

I Survived!

The boys and I made it home late Tuesday night. Our plane was a little delayed so it was after midnight by the time we got our luggage and were heading home. We flew to from Dallas to Denver with a layover, then from Denver to Boise. The layover in Denver turned out to be only 7 minutes long. I ran as fast as I could with 2 little kids. They calling my name from the gate and I barely made it on the plane. Jake did great on the plane. He sleep the entire second flight. Austin screamed the almost the entire 2 hours of the second flight. It was awful. I was so happy when we finally landed.

We did have such a great time in Texas and did so much. We went swimming everyday, sometimes the kids went 3 times a day. We went to all of my favorite restaurants, went to the zoo, went shopping, got together with friends, went to the movies a couple of times, and played board games almost every night. We had such a fun time.

On the plane ride down to Texas, Jake discovered the information pamphlet in the pocket of his seat. He looked at the pictures for over 30 minutes. We thought it was too funny. I guess he wanted to be prepared for an emergency.

Eventually he fell asleep reading his emergency pamphlet.

We rode the train downtown to the Dallas zoo one day. All the kids had a great time. They had a great time in the Kids section with lots of water to run through and cool off.

Austin loved these fake armadillos.

Austin loved the pool and by the end of our stay he was putting his face in the water and blowing bubbles.

Spending time with Uncle Dewey

Jake also loved the water. He got so brave while were there. He was started swimming without his life jacket and putting his face under the water. I am really excited for him to be in swimming lessons next month.

Malinda's baby - Hailee

Austin loved Uncle Dewey

We had a great 4th. We swam in the pool, ate yummy food, and just relaxed. All the kids were too tried and fussy, so we didn't make it to see any fireworks, but that's ok. We did try to get a picture of all the cousins together and did not have any success. Here are a couple of the attempts.

We tried to have some quiet time each day. I thought this was cute of Jake, McKay, and Jordan watching a movie together.

Austin loves his "Nana" and sometimes preferred her over me. When she would walk in the room he would yell "Nana" and run to her with his arms open. I love it and I think my mom did too.

We had such a great time. I just wish that all my family lived closer so we could get together more often!

play date

We are going to be in Texas during the first part of July and I want to have a play date. Malinda and her family are going to be in town too.

So how does the spray park in Allen on Thursday July 10th at 10am sound? I hope everyone in the area can come. Let me know if you can make it. It will be so fun to catch up with everybody.

Finally a new post!

I have been a really bad blogger lately. I haven't been taking a lot of pictures either, but I did take some pictures over the weekend. We went to the lake on Saturday with Aaron's parents. This was the boys first time on a boat and it went very smoothly.

Grandma Marsha bought Jake a Lightning McQueen fishing pole and he was in heaven. We weren't sure if he would like fishing, but he loved it. He didn't catch anything, but more importantly he had a great time.
Austin wasn't so sure about riding on the boat. I also don't think he really like the feeling of the life jacket. He kinda looked like he was wearing a neck brace. A couple of time he dropped his cookie and leaned over to get it and couldn't reach it. That was a little frustrating to him.
On the ride back to the dock to load up Austin fell asleep in Aaron's arms. Being in the sun was exhausting for the little guy.

We had a fun time on the lake and Jake has been talking about fishing ever since. The only bad thing is that I have a terrible sunburn on my back and shoulders. It had been a while since they had seen the sun. So I am still hurting today, but a least the boys had fun.

Cute things from Jake

I took Jake to the Doctor a couple of weeks ago for his 4 year check-up and he had to have 4 shots. He cried and was of course upset, but after the nurse was done he turned to me and said "she hit me!".

Jake was outside playing last week and I heard him yelling. I came outside and saw that he was yelling at a bird that was in the garden. He was saying, "Hey bird, that's mommy's garden. Hey bird that's mommy's garden." I guess he thought he and Austin aren't suppose to walk in the garden then the bird can't either. It was so funny!

Our Weekend

We tackled a huge project this past weekend. We have been wanting to buy a swing set this Spring and have been having the hardest time finding a store with them in stock. I guess everyone else in Idaho wanted a swing set too. So anyway, I finally found a Wal-mart that had 2 swing sets in stock. So our Saturday was spent putting together our new swing set. And of course it was the hottest day of the year. It was 94 degrees! Aaron did such a great job putting it together. The boys love the end result and I am sure we will get tons of use out of it.

I thought it was so funny when Jake started playing on the slide before it was all put together.

I tried to take a picture all of the wood, but I couldn't capture it in one picture. There was tons of wood, screws, bolts, washers, and all the plastic accessories.

I was tagged!

Jake's Artwork

I have been meaning to post these cute drawings of Jake's. I was so impressed with his ability to make a head with eyes, ears, and a mouth. He told us it was "buzz lightyear".

Girl's Weekend

Last Wednesday I flew by myself down to Utah to meet my mom and sister. We went to Women's Conference at BYU on Thurs and Fri and had the best time. The classes and speakers were wonderful. On Saturday we all went shopping and spent the evening together at my grandma's house. We basically just played for 3 days. I was so exhausted by the time I came home on Sunday, but I had had the best time. I love my mom and sister so much. I am so grateful we could spend some time together. I can't wait till next time. How about next year?

I just realized I didn't take hardly any pictures, so I have to get some from my mom and Malinda. Here are 2 I took of my little niece Hailee. She is the cutest, sweetest little thing.
