Somewhere over the....








RAINBOW!!!! Aren't these pictures beautiful? I definetly didn't capture the whole effect-but the rainbow went all the way across! It was amazing. With all the rain we have been having (which is typical Oregon), I was missing the sunshine, but then I have to keep in mind what beautiful landscape we live in. I love driving home on our road and am thankful that we can have such a beautiful place to live!


16 weeks prego

Here is my little baby belly. It's more my fat belly than baby bump! This is the weird stage where people don't know if you are just fat or actually pregnant. I would just tell them "I'm both." It's also the stage where I have to wear either my bigger clothes or maternity clothes. I've been wearing maternity pants and some shirts-I think that helps me to actually look more pregnant then just chubby! I can feel the baby move-little movements here and there-it's neat. I'm feeling better-but I still have days where I feel sick to my stomach. I'm still really tired and emotional. Certain smells really get to me-I'm so sensitive to smells. I can smell Carson's poopy diaper across the room!

When I had Chris take this picture of me-I asked him, "Does it look like I have a belly?" He said "YEAH!" I hit him and said "No-I mean a pregnat belly?" He said "Ask Holly!" Holly said "yes mommy." Thank you Holly-my honest girl. Speaking of Holly, I asked her what she wanted to name the baby if it is a girl. She said "Katie-I like Katie." I said sweetly,"yeah-that's a nice name, but I'm not sure..." Holly said quietly, "Dammit, I want to name her Katie." I didn't catch it at first-I guess it didn't register right away in my brain, but then I did hear it. I had to have a little talk with her about not saying "Dammit" and that is a bad word to say. I had to talk to her about bad words without laughing! Chris and I looked at each other like-OH NO here it all comes! My little girl isn't so little anymore. What is she learning at school? UGH!

My Big helper!


I had to post this picture! Carson loves to help with chores. Every Saturday morning we do chores. Holly does great with putting away toys, cleaning her room, and dusting. Carson doesn't like putting his toys away, but he loves to sweep, mop, and vaccum. He also doesn't want you to help-he likes to do everything on his own!

Outdoor show












Last month, Feb. 19th weekend, I took the kids to an Outdoors show and I forgot to post the pics. It was fun and we got to see a Grizzly bear show and pet a Red lizard. Carson was being a poop at first and he didn't want me to take pictures of him. So-he's hiding his face in the first picture, but then he was better after we got to see a tank full of trout and a guide showing you how to fish. Unfortunately, I didn't get pics of that. It was really neat to sit and watch the guide use different bait and watch the fish go for it. I think that was Carson's favorite part and he kept asking to go see the fish again. I thought he would like the Monster Truck the best. They enjoyed the Grizzly bear show and Carson wouldn't leave the poor lizard alone.

Spring pictures





Since General Conference is Easter Sunday I had my kids wear their Easter church dress this last Sunday. It was a nice weekend so we took Spring pictures. I never can get very good pictures, but these turned out nice.
