I AM BACK!

Ok. I know, I am the worst blogger ever. I remembered why I stopped blogging. When I upload photos onto blogger, they take like 30 minutes each. No exaggeration! We got a new camera last year that has 10 megapixels, and I think it is causing it to take longer. So I dread uploading photos. Things really have been busy, I am sure it has been for most of you, but I can't keep up on the blogging while I am busy. I am 30 weeks along in my pregnancy & have been feeling great! I love being pregnant & have had great ones with all of my other ones, but this has been the best one. I have even been able to work out through this whole pregnancy, which I have never been able to do, due to complications. We are also building a home here. That is what has kept me the most busy! It hasn't been as smooth as it was when we built our home up north, but it will be exciting to be in a home again. We have mixed emotions because we are going to miss our ward so much, but I know I will still see everyone, so it will be ok. We haven't told our boys yet. We were hoping to surprise them for Christmas, but it is going to be done much sooner, so if any of you have any good ideas of how to surprise them, let me know.

Here are some pictures to update what has been going on with us. Some of them go way back, & I tried not to pick out too many to have a picture overload! That's what I get for not keeping my blog up to date.

Ok. So first I have to say that I am so sorry I didn't post what we are having. I know a lot of you already know, but we are having another boy! Kenyon & Isaac wanted a girl, but when they found out it was a boy, they were very excited & started coming up with names. The only problem is, is they keep saying, "We are going to have 4 boys, but we want 1 girl". Sorry boys, we are done. I had to post this specific ultra sound picture to proove to some of you who have asked me, "Are you sure it's a boy?" lol!
My 29th birthday.

Kenyon & Isaac's first day of school. Kenyon loves 2nd grade & has the best teacher ever who is so perfect for him! And Isaac is loving 1st grade, going to school all day, eating school/sack lunch, all the recesses... I never stop hearing about all of that :)


For Kenyon's 8th birthday party, he wanted a Badger football party. We did kind of tailgate theme & had a couple of the players come & play football with the kids. They were such great sports & the kids loved having them there! They are celebrities here in town! We had a tent set up with the food & cake & ice cream & they made a picture frame to put this picture in it with the players.

It was so awesome to see Tyler baptize & confirm Kenyon. It was very emotional for me, just because a few years ago, I never thought we would be at this point. Kenyon was really nervous about getting baptized, so Isaac asked him, "Don't you want to be clean? If you don't get baptized, you will be dirty for the rest of your life!" Then after Kenyon was baptized, Isaac asked him if he was glad he got baptized & told him that he was sparkling clean. I love little kids & their testimonies.

Our life right now....FOOTBALL! I liked this picture of Tyler in action. My sister, Larissa, came down to a game & took some good pics that I stole off her blog. They are 9-1 right now & have 1 regular season game left & their bowl game. I am always so proud of Tyler & of how hard he works. Even though I miss him so much!

Isaac loved playing soccer this fall. Kenyon didn't play soccer this year, so I think it was kind of fun for Isaac to do his own thing.

Kenyon was able to play flag football, which he absolutely loved! It was way busy with Isaac's soccer, Kenyon's football & Tyler's football, but it is worth it for them to do their own things & find their own interests.

I had to post these pictures of Tyler. Until a few weeks ago, I had never seen any pictures of Tyler when he was little. But his sister, Teresa, brought down a box of lots of his pictures growing up & I have had so much fun looking at them & seeing which of my boys looks the most like him. I made him a DVD of all of his pictures & surprised him with it for his birthday. He hadn't really seen a lot of those pictures so it was great! Isn't he so cute!

Tyler turned 30 a couple weeks ago. I threw him a surprise birthday party! It was so much fun, but was probably the hardest thing I have ever had to do, because I had to keep everything I was doing a secret. I tell him EVERYTHING! But it was worth it!

More celebrating.

Carving pumpkins.

Isaac as a clone trooper at the elementary's Halloween Parade.

Kenyon as a Utah football player. His buddies were also football players, so it was fun to get a picture of all of them together. He saved all of his allowance & birthday money to buy this. He was so excited to get it & takes such good care of it, since he bought it with his own money.

Isaac decided he wanted to be a football player to go trick or treating instead of the clone trooper. And of course Will had to be Buzz.

Trick or treating.

So I hope all of you have been doing well! I am excited to be back in the blogging world & to see how everone is doing. I promise to be better.
