Thanksgiving

Spencer and I hosted Thanksgiving this year for his family.  The day before Thanksgiving we got our 20 week ultrasound.  We thought it would be fun to include our families in finding out the sex of our baby with us.

Our plan: Asked the ultrasound technician to keep the sex of the baby a secret from us but to write the sex on a piece of paper and put it into an envelope.  We gave the envelope, DVD, and pictures to our good friends Hannah and Travis and they made us this beautiful cake with the sex of the baby in between the layers.

At desert time we called my family and cut the cake.

It's a GIRL!!

Spencer and I really had a great time finding out with all our family.  We are all very excited to be having a healthy baby girl.

I Want Crazy

We are expecting baby #3!!  So starting mid-April 2014 we will have three children three years and younger.  I think our house might be crazy for a while.

When we first told the kids I was pregnant and asked if they wanted a baby sister or baby brother they said they did not want either.  They told us they wanted a monkey, or elephant!  I think now they are understand that is not possible but they still are not sure if they want a brother or sister.  Monson and Dallin will have just turned three so hopefully they will be nice brothers.

I am glad to be done with the first trimester of this pregnancy.  It has been hard to not be the mother I want to be because I'm sick on the sofa, watching the dust bunnies collect around the house, and feeling like my body might fall apart.  Well I'm not sick on the sofa, dust bunnies are slowing leaving, and I'm starting to exercise so my body does not fall apart.  Now I just need a plan so we do not go crazy this winter and spring.

"Safe and Sound"

Here is a quick update of the last 10 weeks:

Went to Las Vegas for a family get away.  Then the kids and I drove to Mesa to visit my family for a week. We had a great time playing with cousins and soaking up the sun.  The kids even did really good on the ride home with just me and the iPad.

This is my Dad's boom truck.  The kids were begging for a picture with it.

All the McKay cousins.  My parents have 7 grandson!

On our way to home.  Monson was not happy to be up at 6 am.

My favorite brother who was living with us for the last two semesters got married to the cutest girl!

Ernie and Jessica

I went to Commencement.  It is great to finally be done with my bachelor degree!

Spencer did the Spring Sprint Tri. Aunt Cassie was so nice to come watch and help with the kids. We had a great time watching him swim, bike, and run.  My turn next!
