Respite for the the stir crazy...

So I have been nesting a lot, as you know from my last post but today I was feeling a little stir crazy and wanted to do something fun. So I took my son and his cousins to the "Bean Museum" up on BYU campus. I told them if they were good then we could come back home and make some yummy chocolate chip cookies. They were pretty good, and it was so fun to see them going to each of the different exhibits. Josh was on a kick of asking "is this animal dangerous?" at every new animal that he saw. Little Brooklyn was asking "what's this?, what's this?" It didn't take very long to see what was there...for the average attention span of a 3 year old. :D and then I let them play in the children's room where they have toys of all different animals etc. Then we cleaned up and went home. I put Brooklyn down for a nap and then we made cookies together. It was interesting trying to make sure everyone got an equal turn at helping. Its really nice when the kids are good and cooperative. I've felt really blessed to have such a great relationship with Blaine and Nicole's kids. I wish I had the same opportunity with the rest of my nieces and nephews. I love them all! Here's some fun pictures I got of them.

Feeling Better

I don't know if all my "nesting" finally caught up with me or what, but yesterday I felt like a truck hit me. I could hardly function because I was SO exhausted. So I took the day off and relaxed and then tried to get a good night's sleep last night and so this morning I'm feeling a TON better! (Gotta love my english eh?) So Josh was my good little helper this morning in picking up and dusting and vacuuming. Ya know, I wouldn't have "planned" to have my kids so many years apart but its definitely going to have its advantages! He's such a great kid! He loved dusting this morning. It was really cute.

So I had my Dr's appt last Friday and I've only gained 9 lbs! Wahoo! So I'm right on track. I need to eat more fruits and veggies though! I've been eating way too many starches. Anyway...I'm so excited to have my little girl! She's very active. I think she's going to be like her brother...always on the go! Josh loves to talk to her. Its so adorable. I'm already starting to see that your love for your children isn't divided...its multiplied!
