Camping in St. George

Last weekend we went camping near St. George with some of our friends. We had lots of fun. We went to a place called Quail Creek. Asillin, Casey, their son Morgan, Landon and Kim went with us. Sienna and Logan had so much fun playing with Morgan and all of his toys. Sienna keeps telling everyone she played with Morgan and went swimming. I think that was their favorite parts, Morgan and playing in the lake. For the first day we stayed around camp and explored the surrounding area. Jeff found a jeep trail up the mountain to a large cement arrow that points to a nearby airport that was used by planes in the 60's. So we went up that and got to see the arrow and the great view of the lake and our campsite. Logan and the guys went fishing that night and Logan caught the only fish of the trip! It was a big wild trout. The next day Asillin, me and the kids went to St. George and did a little shopping at the outlet store. I got the kids some clothes and a few things for myself. Jeff went motorcycle riding by himself around somewhere, I am just glad he didn't come back with something broken. On the last day we went to Sandhollow where we went swimming in the lake. It was the hottest day and the funnest I thought. of coarse I was sick most of the nights and had to go to bed early it wasn't too bad (good thing for my meds!)

Not so fun being sick!

Well being pregnant has it's ups and downs. Right now it is hard to think of any of the good things when I am feeling so sick! I don't know how we girls do it, being nauseous is the worst feeling ever! I have tried everything and I swear nothing works. This morning there was one moment that I didn't feel sick but it only lasted about 2 minutes.
So my feeling are this: I am either having a girl, because I wasn't sick with Logan but I was with Sienna OR I just get sicker and sicker with every pregnancy. According to a few things I have read when you are sick you are more likely to have a girl. So I guess we will see. I think having a girl would be great but a boy would be good too. So I guess I don't really care either way.
So if anyone has any miracle tricks for morning(all day) sickness, that I haven't tried let me know! (I have medicine from the doctor, I tried the b6, sucking on candy/Popsicles, I have tried sipping on Sprint, and I have yet to try the ginger but I am not very hopeful) All of that seams to help a little but I just want some good relief so I can get some stuff done. Anyway thanks for listening to all my complaining. And I will keep you updated on my pregnancy!

You guessed it!

Well we have been really busy lately. Jeff has torn apart the downstairs bathroom and is making us one that we can actually use. He just decided one day that he wanted to redo it so later we can work on the upstairs bathroom shower. Both bathrooms are probably the worst part of the house right now. We also have been working on the yard and found out that we don't need to put in sprinklers like we thought so that is good. But that project has been put on hold because of the snow. I just signed Logan up for T-ball and that starts in May, he is really excited for that. And I guess I have been pretty busy developing a baby inside my body! Yes I am pregnant. I am only about 6 weeks along but I am feeling pretty tired and sick. We are all very excited about having a new baby. Logan and Sienna are very excited!

Jeff's work is firing a total of about 30 people, luckily Jeff is not one of them but he is ending up with a bad schedule, swings 2:00-10:00 with Sunday, Monday off. We were hoping he would get to work morinings but I guess at least he still gets to keep his job.

Another injury for Jeff

I guess Jeff really is accident prone. Today he was breaking up cement with a hammer and a piece of it flew up and hit him the the head. It bled like crazy but I don't think he will need stitches. It is kind of hard to see though because it is up in his hair. We decided Jeff needs to wear his motorcycle helmet next time he works out in the yard.

Baby Daxton, Bowling fun and Backyard work

Yesterday we went and saw Corey and Becky's new baby Daxton! He is so cute, and a good little baby! Daxton was breech and so Becky had to have a scheduled c-section. They all seam to be doing ok, they are in the hospital until Monday Corey said.

We also went bowling that night with our kids because Logan has been wanting to for a while. We all had lots of fun! Logan was actually winning the whole time until the end when I pulled ahead of him and Jeff for first place. The scores ended up being 123 Jeff, 1o2 Logan, 132 me! That was the first time I have won Jeff in bowling.

We have been working in our backyard lately trying to get it ready for grass. Jeff has been pulling up roots from the ground and I have been trying to clean up the leaves and sticks. So far it has been a lot of work and if you look at the yard it doesn't even look like we did hardly anything. But Jeff took a huge load of stuff to the dumb and that makes us feel like we did do a lot.

Jeff's Ouchy Ear

Jeff is so ACCIDENT PRONE! He was pulling out a tree root using a high lift jack. Well I guess it was stuck so he put his head down closer to take a look at it pulled up and hit his ear. Well it took a good smack and cut right through it. It is all swollen and bloody and gross but here are the pictures.

Wendover

We had fun this last weekend, we went to Wendover and spent the night without the kids. We went with Asillin and Casey. We stayed at the Peppermill. We went swimming at the pool and ate at the buffet. We gambled a little and I actually came home 50$ up. Asillin and I played Blackjack most of the night but while we were getting rid of our change at the slots I won $30 on a quarter and that was awesome. Jeff played Roulette most of the time and was up quite a bit but lost it all in the end. Casey played texas hold'em. We had fun! I can totally see the people there that are addicted but I definitely have a hard time throwing money away like that but I feel like I payed to have fun so that is ok.

Logan's Birthday!!!!

Happy Birthday Logan!

Logan turned 5 on March 1st. We had a little party Sunday night with my family and logan had lots of fun. He was so excited about the party for about a week and kept counting down the days. He loved all the presents everyone got him and he loved his new airplane room. He got Legos, a batmobile, a Hotwheels city, and stuff for his room. He has been playing with all of the toys since he woke up this morning. Thanks everyone who came, it was fun.

House updates

One morning Logan woke up, walked up stairs and said "Mom, I want my room a color". I said what you want to paint your walls and he said yes. So we decided that for his birthday we would do his room. So for the past few days we kicked Logan out of his room and we have been working on it with out him seeing. I think he peeked a few times but he is really excited to see it on his birthday. I added a few pictures of his room.

Today I bought a leather sectional. I found it on KSL a week ago and have been watching it everyday. It was priced kind of high for us but I really liked it and it was exactly what I wanted for my basement. So I called on it and she sold it to me for $500 less than what she was asking! My awesome Dad and Brother Landon helped me go get it and put it downstairs. I am so happy with it and I definitely think I got an awesome deal!

Family fun

We had a little fun this weekend. First on Valentines day Jeff went and bought a motorcycle. It is a Honda and you will have to ask Jeff the rest of the information on that. Then we gave each other presents. Jeff got me the new Taylor Swift CD I have been wanting. I got Jeff our first blue-ray, I am Legend. I got the kids Madagascar 2 for v-day and they were pretty excited about that. That night my parents watched the kids and we went to Tepanyaki for dinner with my brother and sister and their spouses. It was fun but we waited for like 2 hours until we sat down. After that we went to Lindsay's house and watched a movie and ate ice cream shakes. On Sunday me, Jeff and the kids made a snow turtle in the back yard. It is pretty cool I guess, kind of scary looking. Then we went to my parents for dinner. It was a good weekend, I think the kids had lots of fun.
