Comparing.......

Hunter was 8.5.Lbs.

(Make some guesses in the comments)

1st Day of School..... Etc.

This is what I look like.... everyone I run into Asks " When are you due? I think I am Huge! Jarred called me a Umpa lumpa! Yesterday! ( not sure on the spelling)

Makayla 1st day of Second Grade! She had a great day and really likes her teacher.

All three of my cutie pies!

Hunter was so excited to go to preschool. He wanted to go at the same time the other kids did. He loves to get going in the more and hates to wait. ( Just like any three year old.)

Ethan's 1st day of 1st grade. He got Mrs. Tropea, Makayla's teacher from last year. He is so independent he got in her line and was like bye mom. He says there is a lot of girls in his class and he doesn't know any of the boys. He always has a lot of girl friends more than boys anyways.

Hunter falling asleep at lunch. I should make a collage of all of these. Ethan falling asleep in dads chair after he had just told me he wasn't tired.

Makayla lounging with the dogs. The dogs are going to go through withdrawals with the kids gone.

So while we were in Utah our salt water pump broke and the algae took over the pool. You couldn't see the bottom it was so gross. So jarred and the boys cleaned it out and now we have a swimable pool again. Thanks goodness because it helps get rid of Ethan's energy after school.

Trip to Utah again!!!!!!

This is how are trip started out. Isn't it beautiful! I had to take a picture of this beautiful sunset on our way to vegas.

This is the bridge by Hoover Dam. It is amazing! I am a little scared to drive on it but it won't be done for a year or so. Maybe I work up my nerves by then. :)

We got to hang out with our friends and cousins in vegas at the water park.

This is Hunters girlfriend Chloe. This picture will be in their wedding video. HAHAHAHA J/K

This is my new Nephew Conner. I loved holding him if i wasn't pregnant I would have been really baby hungry after this week. Good thing my baby will be here in just a few weeks. I should enjoy no dipers but I miss how he snuggled into your chest.

This is John David my sisters other boy. Hunter called him his little brother, it was so cute. They played none stop.

Hunter has become quite the story teller. He is telling Aunt Joane and Uncle Gordon a story about something and it was so funny because he was so serious.

Tubing with Grandpa!

Uncle Gordon brought over a big trackter to do something in the back yard at grandpa's. The kids were so excited about it.

Going to the water park with my friend Emily and her son Luke. It was so fun but a little crowded. Utah needs to get more water parks but they are doing better than Arizona. Henderson is still the best for water parks.

Hunter loves the to hold Conner. But dropped him after I took the picture because he wanted to see the picture. So we have a few things to work on before the baby comes...

Playing Basketball with Uncle gordan.

Riding Fourwhellers with Grandpa and Uncle gordan. Hunter and Ethan would live on these things if they had a chance. Ethan thinks he is big enough to drive, and Hunter wants to go fast but not be scared.

Makayla is my little artist and made this bird out of playdough.

This is their boat they were in it all the time.

We went to Fairview for the 24th. It was a great weekend. The kids loved the parade.

It was a little hot but not to bad escipally compared to Arizona

Makayla loves to get into the spirit of things !

This was so funny Hunter is extremly shy. When these girls came by he hid his head. It was hilarious!

This is the derby, I should have took some pictures before it got dark.

This was our first year without Great Grandma. So they were going though alot of her stuff. This is an old baby carriage that she had, I was fascinated with it.

The kid helping Grandpa paint. The day before we left.

We extending our trip because Jarred's Grandpa Soelberg passed away while we were down there. He was such sweet old man but we are so glad he in a better place. He had Altimzers and it was so sad to see him like that. We were glad that we could attend his funeral. We are glad to be home. We will not be taking any more trips to Utah because everytime we do it seems someone dies. At least Until after Christmas>>>>>>

Thing to do when you are bored....

Put ponytail in Hunters hair.
Take a bath with the dogs.
( Not a good idea he had hives 5 mins after the dogs were in)

Swimming with dad.

Shoting darts at the ceiling!

Singing and running around to music.

Stitches.............

Hunter got his first set of stitches on Monday. I should say stitch it was only one but the small gash was to deep for glue. It was five layers deep all the way to the bone. How did it happen you might wonder. Makayla was playing with a light saber and he walked into the her line of fire. She must have hit him pretty hard. She felt really bad. I figured he would have a bruise or some thing when he came into the room holding his eye with blood allover it I was shocked. Jarred took him to the Dr. because I was watching 2 extra kids. I was glad he was home. It was his turn anyways I took the other two kids to get their stitches. But Hunter was cake compared to Ethan, Hunter even felt the pain of the stitch and he still sat still. Well other than not being able to swim for a few days. Which is a huge deal at our house! He seems to be healing fast.

Some of you asked what I will be going to school for I want to be a sonographer. Which is a ultrasound tech. I want to specialize in fetal Ultrasounds. I should be able to finish school at the same time as this baby is entering 1st grade. Hopefully!

4th of July.

We went to Surprise pool for the 4th of July. It was alot of fun! We went with our friends Coreen and DJ and their kids Lauren and Jake. It was so nice to cool off and play in the water all afternoon. The fireworks were ok but we had picked a spot right behind the water slide so our view was alittle obstructed. The kids had a blast and Makayla and Ethan went off the diving board. Hunter really wanted to go too but they wouldn't let him with a lifejacket.

It is has been a year....

We have been in Arizona for a year now. We love it here. I was hoping to have a few more improvements on our house. But time and MONEY is always a problem. But I wanted to make some kind of record what we did get done in the first year. We added on to the back porch. Which our hot tub now sits on. We love the Hot tub and it has really helped with relaxing all my sore muscles from this pregnancy.I am sorry to say this is the only room I have painted. I can't decide what I want in the other rooms. But I have had a paint sample up in my kitchen for a year now and I still like it so I guess I should do it. My room I know what I want but Jarred isn't so sure he will like it. So maybe after the baby get here I will just do it.

This is a picture of our house it doesn't look any different except without the Halloween stuff and with some flowers out front. Hopefully by next year I will have a lovely backyard to show you. I was going to take a picture of the back yard. But everyone has seen weeds and dirt .

We are very glad that we moved here. We feel like it is home here. We miss all our Vegas friends and Utah family and friends. We have made some good friends here. I love the schools and the teachers that my kids have gotten. I excited for another year here..... it should be an fun one. With a new baby coming in 8 weeks or less! Hunter starting preschool, Ethan in first grade and Makayla in second. Jarred really busy with work and me trying to balance the house and another kid. I would also like to have at least one wedding a month, and I hope to start school in the spring.
