These kids looked so cute just sitting there patiently for the fireworks to start!

  

The kids had a lot of fun with their sparklers! Connor got a spark on his foot and freaked out but he got over it quickly and moved on to the next sparkler!

  

The fireworks were again excellent on the butte! We saw one fire on our side but it was contained fairly quickly!

  

To Qoute Britney Spears

Oops, I did it again!! I don't know what it is about Britney Spears but no matter what she does I still can't read enough about her! Maybe it's cuz part of my childhood consisted of listening to her music so I still think of her as the pop star and not so much the mess she's been looking lately. Anyhoo getting sidetracked here, oops I did again.....And what I mean by that is as of Friday we found out that we are expecting our third child!!!!! This came as quite a shock to me, but a good shock no less. I hadn't had that time of month thing that we all love so much so I decided that I may as well go buy a test. Not even 30 seconds after it sat the plus sign came up! I didn't quite believe it so in a couple hours I took the next one and again same results. Now I'm thinking what is Asa gonna say??? He gets home from work, Connor is at Busy Buddies and Zachary is sleeping so I tell him that there's something I need to show him and he says uh oh that doesn't sound good. So I walk him in the bathroom and show him the two tests. He being the guy that he is says what does this mean? I say what do you think it means, we're pregnant!! And then I start blabbering like a fool saying I don't want him to be mad at me and I don't want him to think I did this on purpose and he was relatively calm. He just got a smile on his face and said I think you're brewing a baby!! The reason why I thought he'd be mad was because I've been off my birth control for about 2-3 months now because my periods were so irregular and I wanted to take a month off of the pill and then get back on and see if they would regulate themselves. Well after the first month went by I got somewhat accustomed to the not taking a pill and it was hard to get myself back on track of taking it. But Asa is not mad about anything with this situation because he knew there was a possibility and I guess our cautiousness wasn't as cautious as we thought! And I think that he is getting more used to this new plan that has come up. I decided I'd call my doctor and we set up an appt and they were able to get me today at 1:00. So therefore I just got back from the dr. and they confirmed that yes I am pregnant but we're still not sure when my due date is since I can't remember when I had my last period!! Sooooo she scheduled an ultrasound for me this Thursday at 10 am to figure out how far along I am! My appt consisted of going over family health history and whatnot. But now my last post will no longer be as fun for me as I had hoped because yes I will still be going out tonight with all my friends and that in itself will be fun, but now there will be no drinking for me, well at least now we have a DD cuz we were still trying to decide who was going to do that!!

 
 

Alas one of my dear friends wants a picture of me on here. My first thought is why would someone want to see a picture of me, cuz I sure as heck don't!! But maybe not everyone wants to see pics of my boys everytime except of course me and my grandma!! So there you go a pic of me.(Had to put ones of me and Connor though cuz the ones of just me look kinda funny!)I figured I'd put up a pic of us before I started working out too, can you tell the difference? Still working out a lot and I'm actually enjoying it which is suprising for me! But other than that nothing too interesting going on with me, I'm getting excited for Fourth of July and of course July 3rd which is going to be a blast!! Some of our friends are up visiting from San Diego and a bunch of our friends and us are all going out to dinner and then drinking on the 3rd!! I'm so excited, just to have everyone back together and to hang out and have a good time! Then on the fourth if all goes as planned the brand new activity pool is opening at Juniper so we are going to kiddies there and then to Gregg and Tressa's for an awesome BBQ and watching the fireworks! Asa has all next week off too so hopefully we'll do some fun stuff together and maybe work on unpacking the rest of our boxes, finally!! 

My Water Baby

 
Zachary has discovered how much fun it is to fall into the water in my parents hot tub!! He would do this the entire time if I would let him! 

 
Love this picture! If you look closely you can see his face under the water! 

 
Coming up from out of the water! 

AHHHH!!!

We bought a bike trailer last week for me to start riding my bike to take Connor to Busy Buddies and I was way excited about it! We got it all set up this weekend and Asa and I each took practice runs around the block with the kids to see how much they'd like it and they enjoyed it immensly, espically Connor!
 
So today I get everyone ready and we're off to the pool. My bike was acting kinda funny and I made it about halfway to the pool and my entire pedal came off!! How crazy is that!? So here I am on the side of the road trying to put my pedal back on and it's not working for me at all. I call my dad and he's at work about to go to a suicide call so who knows how long he'll be! My next option is my friend! I call her up and in no time she comes and picks me up and takes Connor to Busy Buddies and then takes me home. I am so grateful for her because whenever I need anything she is there, no questions asked! Thank you Court!!! So then as soon as I get home my dad calls and comes to my house and picks me up. We go to my bike and he uses a hammer to get it back on cuz he says its missing a bolt and that it should be okay for a little bit till he can find a bolt to put on it. I get on my bike to ride it home and the pedals are off so as you move your feet one pedal is supposed to be at the bottom and one at the top but no they were both in the middle! So therefore I had to walk my bike home and it was a pain is the a** and now who knows when I'll get to ride again! 

Woo-Hoo!!!!

Wow!!! I am so proud of my little boy right now! After the bath tonight I took him out and set him on the potty chair and he actually went pee!!!! My 11 month old going pee in the potty! Now I know that this doesn't mean he's gonna be potty trained soon or anything like that just wanted everyone to know how proud I am!!!

One more Video for today!

This is the type of stuff that my son is gonna hate me for when he's older! Somehow he came up with this all on his own!

Porter time!

This was taken at my brother's house and usually my brother's dog Porter doesn't want anything to do with Connor or Zachary. He avoids both of them at all costs, except of course this time! I love it!

Take me out to the Ballgame!

So I went to my first baseball game in a really long time this week and we actually all had a really good time. Well except when it rained on us then it wasn't too fun. The Bend team kicked butt and won but you know I didn't really pay too much attention to the game as I was taking pictures, Zach, Connor, food and changing oh about 6 diapers in a 3 hour period cuz my dearest baby has a #2 issue right now followed with a major diaper rash so yeah kinda a busy night for me!

Even the rain didn't stop this boy from having a good time!

The boys had even more fun after the game playing on the field!

Connor's taking a shortcut to score a run!!

Geesh has it really been a week and a half since I last blogged? Wow time flies when you're busy! Nothing too interesting going on with me just same old work, kids, family, and working out. I haven't lost any more weight yet still just 20 pounds but I'm still trying to. My goal would be for now to lose 15 more pounds by September. And then hopefully if all goes as I would like, Asa and I are going to be trying for our third child. Asa feels it will be too soon but Zach will be 14 months then so when this child is born Zach will be a month shy of two. When Connor was a month shy of two we were pregnant with Zachary so I don't feel that it's too soon. But we shall see how much convincing I have to do to Asa to get him to agree. And then if it's a girl then we'll be done having kids and I can focus on really trying to lose ALL of my baby weight! Anyone who knows the slightest bit about me knows just how much I am yearning for a girl! I can't imagine my life without a daughter and the sooner I get to trying for that girl the better! I wouldn't change anything about my life though, two boys is what I was meant have (for now!) and they mean everything to me! I mean cmon how could you not love to spend time with these boys....

Cousins Forever!!

 
Today we had Asa's dads Memorial Run at the elementary school. It was a lot of fun watching all these kids run to support a cause! I had even more fun after the race taking pictures of my family! I thought that this picture turned out pretty good except for my kid but the rest of the kids are smiling! So cute! 

So cute!

 
I absolutely love this picture!! 

Fun!

 
The men having fun playing football! And Dakota loves being in the middle of that action! 

 

Courtney and I decided to take the kids to the park, again! The boys have such a blast hanging out and I myself don't mind the adult conversation that I get to have while the children play! Connor and Seb liked playing in the baseball field and I love this picture of them, don't know why but I think it's really cute! 

 

Seb and Connor at the park. Alas we tried to get him to smile but he just wasn't having it today! 

  

We took these kids to the park yesterday and Zachary absolutely loves the swings!
