Another, just before baby comes

I found a few picture pre-baby.  Part of my nesting came in the form of sewing.  I loved this little onesie dress.  I had accidentally bought the wrong size of crib sheet, but I loved the material, so I turned it into a dress.  I think I'm going to have a lot of fun with this baby girl.  :)

 Jaron fell asleep mid bite in the car one day while we were picking Logan up, I missed the picture, but he had his hand up to his mouth for a good five minutes before it finally came down.

 Jaron loves just chillin' in his chair watching Team Umizoomi.

 I've been trying to get the boys some outside time in the mornings before it gets too hot.  Everytime they go outside they ask if they can play in the water...

 ...so finally we said yes.  The neighbor had a fun little pool, so we went over and let them play, unfortunately, it was a crazy day with lots of wind and much cooler temperatures than the rest of the week.  Oh well, they still had fun in the sandbox afterwards.

 Since I was sleeping on the recliner in our living room the last month or so of pregnancy, it seemed like the boys always came and snuggled with me while Morgan was enjoying the King Size bed all to himself.  :)

 I do love my boys and boy is our world about to change.

 We are excited for baby girl!  Until next time...

Catch Up Before Baby Time!

The boys have been so good lately to play with each other.  Tragon and Jaron especially have been able to play without as many fights.  I think it helps that Bear is a little older and doesn't always try to wreck things now.  :)

 Tragon wants to learn all the games that Logan and Damon play.  They have been really into chess and checkers lately.  We're working on tic tac toe with Tragon.

 Logan's Birthday - this should probably have its own post, but I may not get to it.  Logan turned 7!  I can't believe how big he is getting.  Of course, he feels like he's practically a teenager.  He really wanted to go to Fiesta Fun for his birthday.  He got to go on the bumper boats with Daddy.

 And Damon got to go with Papa!  They had a good time.  Grandma helped me with the younger boys in the play area.  All Logan wanted for his birthday this year was a robe, a kickstand for his bike, and to go to Fiesta Fun.  Pretty easy to please I'd say.  Although, when we were trying to fix his bike, we ended up busting it even worse, so in the end he got a new bike too.

 Damon and Bear love to do puzzles together.  We haven't had the puzzles out in a while, so it's nice to get them out and they spend hours doing them.

 Easter - Summer Easter fun.  We always do our treats/gifts/etc on the Saturday before Easter so that on Sunday we can talk about and celebrate the true meaning of Easter.  On Saturday we got to go to Grandma's house and do an Easter Egg Hunt.  The kids had a blast.  They love eating popsicles and ice cream on the trampoline.

 The boys each got a new Easter shirt, one that dries really fast when it gets wet.  Perfect for hot St. George weather this summer when they ask me every day if they can play in the water.

 We even made a small pile for baby girl.  Damon picked out the bow for her and he is absolutely convinced she will love it.  Those boys are going to be so cute with her, I can already tell.

 Jaron loved being able to dig into his treats.  He had a cookie or treat in each hand and couldn't decide which to eat, so he just kept taking a bite out of each hand back and forth.  I'm surprised we didn't have more tummy aches this day.

It has been so fun to be able to spend time with family.  The boys love their cousins and getting together.  Hopefully, the next post will have pictures of our cute baby girl.  Until next time.....

Springtime Randomness

We had some Lincoln, Sequoia, and Aurora over for a St. Patricks Day dinner.  We had green cupcakes, green jello, green pasta, and probably something else that I've already forgotten.  :)

 In our bountiful basket one week we had a dragonfruit.  It was interesting.  I have no idea how to tell if they are ripe or not, but this one had little to no flavor so I still don't really feel like I know what they taste like.  The texture was kind of like a kiwi, but just the middle part where all the seeds are.

 The boys all got a chance to ride in Papa's racecar.  He usually does a mini-indy car race each year, so about this time we all go up to the empty parking lot and race around a bit.

 Crazy cousins hanging upside down at grandma's house.  We have a lot of fun when we all get together.

 We did a family home evening activity at the park one night and ate otterpops.  It has been such nice weather and so fun to be outside and let the boys play outside.

 Classic Tragon faces.  He's such a silly kid and we love him so much!

 Logan is getting really good on the piano.  He's got Morgan's ear and loves to try and figure out songs.  He's learned quite a few although, we keep him at it with the books too so he learns the notes.

 He finally got his cast off.  It was about as traumatic as getting it on.  He got all queasy again.  We had to take another x-ray and he did great on that one.

 Damon has been teaching Tragon how to play the Wii.  It's actually really fun to see them playing together and Damon teaching him all the "tricks"

Until next time....because I think the boys are breaking stuff upstairs....
