Crazy Kids

The kids were getting ready for bed the other night and they wanted to wear each other's jammies.  They thought they were so funny! :) Actually Karson didn't want to take the princess shirt off, which makes me a little worried. These kids are crazy and come August I'm sure I'm going to be crazy myself.

He Did It!

Eversince Jeff and I have been married (for 6 1/2 years) he has pretty much been doing some type of school.  He has been working full time and going to school part time almost our whole marrige. We were thrilled right before Karson was born when he finally finshed his bachelors.  Although, it was just weeks later that he started talking about going back for his Masters.  He and I were both sick of him being in school but he knew it was something he had to do.  In August of 2010 he started attending University of Phoenix and working towards an MBA. He has been going to school every Monday night from 6:00-10:00 and doing papers, group projects, and tests the other days of the week. On March 19th, 2012 he attended his last class.  I'm so proud of Jeff for handling school, work, church, and his family for the last several years. Jeff got an A or A- in every class and had perfect attendance for the last year and a half.  It hasn't always been easy but I know it was worth it! The kids, myself, and Jeff are thrilled he is done!!  

St. Patty's Day

Karlee loves holidays and always looks forward to them. She kept asking what we do on St. Patrick's Day and I told her all you do is where green.  It really isn't a holiday to look forward to:) Good thing my friend Meesha had a St. Patrick's Day party on Friday and the little boy Kolby that I watch had his 1st birthday party on Saturday.  Those things helped make the weekend fun for the kids!

19 weeks & waiting...

My friend Ari Anna (who is due one month behind me) said she wanted to see pictures of my belly.  After she said that I realized I hadn't taken any pictures.  I guess with the 3rd baby I will at least get one about half way and one right before I deliver:) I am a little bummed at how fast my belly has gotten big this time. Karlee told me before Christmas and before we had told her that it looked like I had a baby in my tummy!

Now that I'm 19 weeks everyone keeps asking what we are having. I don't know yet! My ultrasound isn't scheduled until March 29th. Jeff even mentioned that maybe we not find out this time since we have one of each.  I just can't do that.  I need to be prepared!  I need to know:) Karlee wants a baby sister so bad.  She just keeps calling the baby a girl because I guess if she calls it a girl then it is a girl. :)

I would love another girl too! I want to pull out all her old dresses, bows, and pink blankets! It would be so fun. Plus, I don't want a disappointed little 3 year old if we find out we are having a boy.

On the other hand how could I not want another one of these? Karson has been such a sweet and mild mannered kid.  He is so snuggly and has the cutest smile!

Except when he is mad, which started a couple months ago.  He is still our sweet boy but he knows what he wants and since he doesn't talk much he doesn't always know how to tell us what he wants. He gets upset a lot but he gets over it fast (which is a good thing about boys.) I think it would be really great for Karson to have a little brother that is close in age to him so they can play and be best buds like my two brothers.

So I just feel really blessed to have these two beautiful kids and no matter what we are having I am going to be so happy! Jeff doesn't care either way and I know Karlee will come around if she finds out it is a brother.  She just loves babies and knowing she gets to help take care of him/her makes her so excited. She prays all the time for the baby to come out of mommy's tummy:)

Now the hard part for me is that eventhough our appointment is two weeks from tomorrow we are still going to wait another week to find out.  My sister Aubrey has been making gender reveal cakes with her friend over the last couple of months and she wants to make one for us.  We are going to see her Easter weekend so she is planning on being the only one who knows what we are having until we cut into the cake to find out what it is.  I think this is so exciting but I don't know if I can wait one more week! I'll keep everyone posted!

We are expecting Baby #3!

We are having another baby in August and are so excited! Karlee is the most excited and wants a baby sister.  I think she will be okay with another brother too.  She is already thinking of names and let me just say we won't be using any of them:) I thought this was a cute way to announce it for those that don't know but the kids just look miserable. They don't always love my ideas!:)

Grandma & Aubrey Visit

My mom and Aubrey came to visit this last week.  The kids were so excited to have someone to play with all the time. My mom got a little sick and the kids weren't feeling that great a couple of the days but we still had fun.  We went to lunch a couple times, took the kids bowling, played the wii, made valentine cookies, and enjoyed hanging out together! Karlee did not want them to leave:(

January

January is not my favorite month because Christmas is over, it is cold outside, and not much is going on. I can't complain though because we have stayed kind of busy and the weather has been so nice.

On January 1st Karlee became a sunbeam! She was so excited to go to primary with the big kids. She loves her class and her teachers.  Her 2nd week in primary she had to give the prayer and she did it all by herself. She already has the 1st article of faith memorized too.

Karlee started back dance and this time she gets to take ballet and tap with her friend Addy. They look forward to dance every week.

My friend Jennifer and her son Ethan came and stayed with us for about 5 days.  We didn't take a single picture but Jen did Karlee's hair one day with her 3 barrel curling iron and Karlee just loved her hair that day!

Karson is Mr. Independent right now and it is kind of annoying.  He doesn't want us to feed him or help him with anything. It usually leads to him throwing a fit or us giving in and him making a huge mess!  He does help me unload the dishwasher everytime and that is pretty cute.

The kids are finally starting to really play together.  As long as Karlee doesn't boss Karson around too much they usually have a lot of fun.

I made this cute Valentine's Day wreath Aubrey and I saw on pinterest when she was here for christmas. Other then that we are waiting for my mom and Aubrey to come visit at the beginning of February. Plus Jeff has 7 more weeks of school and he is done, done, done!!
