6 weeks left ~

It's a little blurry, but still fun to see his face. To me Preston looks chubby already. He is measuring in at a whopping 4 pounds 13 ounces ... with 6 weeks still left to gain weight and grow. We are so excited about his arrival and look forward to actually holding and seeing him~

Cute Kids ~

We had only Peyton tonight and decided to go to dinner with the Dayton's ... couldn't pass up diner at Fudruckers. This was just a cute pic that we got of our two youngest kids together. I thought it was pretty cute.

Rocket Launch ~

Alanna had her GATE Rocket Launch at school today. She found it pretty amazing and really enjoyed the experience. She loves her GATE teacher and so do we. She is amazing with the kids ... especially Alanna!

School Musical ~

Kasey did such a good job tonight performing in the school musical. She was so excited that she was able to do it along with her best friend. Afterwards Mr. Davis performed some magic tricks for Peyton .... which caught the attention of many other kids.

Way to go Kaserbug!!! Afterwards we went with the Dayton's to Mimi's Cafe for dinner. Fun, Fun, Fun!!!

Father's Day ~

We were so grateful that we had an opportunity to drive out to Pahrump and spend the afternoon with Grandpa & Grandma Huntsman. We treasure every moment we get with them. WE LOVE YOU BOTH!!!

Yellow Belt Promotions ~

Mr. & Mrs. Martin held Promotions this time at the park. It was perfect (minus the wind). Peyton had so much satisfaction and confidence as he was called up to go up in front of everyone to be given his yellow belt. We are REALLY happy with the Taekwondo Studio we found. They really make the kids earn their advancements; which we are grateful for. Pey is such an awesome boy ... we love him.

Yellow Belt Testing ~

Today Peyton tested to advance from his orange belt to his yellow belt. He gets so excited to practice and the fact that he is motivated to do it on his own is wonderful. He wasn't nervous this time and felt that he was ready. He is not a baby or even a toddler anymore ... he is a little man that we enjoy every second with. We love you Pey~Pey!!!

Possibly Two Weeks Early ~

Today at my OB appointment, she said I am measuring 2 weeks bigger than anticipated. The good news is that I will get another ultrasound in two weeks to see what's going on in there. She said I'll either have my due date moved up two weeks or possibly just having a big baby ... We will see! Stayed tuned for the result.

Didn't think about it ~

Most of you will be grateful that I didn't think about grabbing the camera this morning. It started out well and is ending well ... I got to listen to Carl and the kids read scriptures as I cooked waffles for breakfast. The kids and I even got all of our morning tasks done. We were running out the door to get the girls to school ... when Peyton threw up in the van. DEEP BREATHE right, my sense of smell has become really strong with this pregnancy. I even successfully got Peyton out of the van without managing to let too much of his stomache contents get on everything else. He laughed and thought it was funny to be sprayed down in the driveway. He thought it was even cooler to stand in the driveway in his underwear and watch me spray his clothes off. We laughed and then hurried about. THANKS to the girls quickly helping me, we succesfully got the girls to school on time.

Prayers are answered ... I was less than 5 minutes away from the house, when my OBGYN's office called to let me know the doctor had been called out for delivery and needed to reschedule my doctor appointment for this morning. WHEW ~ we turned around, called to let Abby know that Peyton would have to miss her awesome birthday party at Pump it Up, his swim teacher to let her know that Peyton would miss swim class today, and also miss karate. We stayed home the entire day, watched movies, finished ALL of the laundry, and managed to get another bankers box of documents scanned and shredded (my project this week).

My dear husband must have felt bad for me ... on his way out of town, he brought me Tropical Smoothie for lunch (one of my favorites). I am not sure if he felt bad that I had to clean up throw up or that as I was hurrying about, I tripped on our stairs and fell. I felt pretty clumsy and silly; but Peyton rushed right over and said, "Mommy are you ok? Do you need anything?". I love how thoughtful he is at only 4 yrs old, but I felt pretty dumb and was really glad noone else was around.

I LOVE MY FAMILY ... even when they are sick. My dream has always been to be a mom, so I will be thankful for having a son to throw up, for kids that create laundry, and for a house that I get to clean. Thank you Carl, for allowing me the blessing of another child. I get more excited every day for the arrival of Preston. I LOVE YOU!!!

Now aren't you glad that I didn't think about grabbing the camera. Although a pic of Peyton standing in the driveway in his underwear would have been priceless.
