New Bathroom & Camping

We finally finished our bathroom downstairs! It was slow going but worth it! When we bought the house the bathroom was really bad! The shower was really tiny with blue tile and a shower door that was rusty and leaky. The shower head was really bad (probably the original from 1944). I took a shower in it once and decided it was worth it to walk all the way upstairs to get ready their.
Our new bathroom is so nice. Jeff reframed the shower and made it bigger with a nice shelf and a shower head that sprays from the celing. Jeff, my mom and I tiled the shower and the floor. Thanks Mom! Jeff painted and put up our new light and mirror and we also got a new toilet. I still have to hang some pictures and put up our towel hangers and grout the back splash on the sink but that should be easy! We love it is so much better than before!!






We went camping this weekend to the Unitas with some of our friends and had some fun. We got their late on Friday night and so we didn't get into a campground but we did find a place that had a fire pit and nice spots for our tents. Sienna is being potty trained and she did really well on her homemade potty chair.

Lots of projects!












Well There are a lot of pictures and I am sorry I can't write a comment under the corresponding picture because blogger is being dumb. So the first pictures are of Sienna and her new hair cut. It was really stringy and ungly so I cut off the back a little and made her a little bob.
Some of the young Women in my ward heart attacked my house. It was cute!
I cut Aubry's hair in a short bob. It turned out really cute!
I recently got some furniture for the baby from garage sales and painted them up. They look so cute now! My $20 dresser and my $5 changing table!
We finally got our camera fixed and back to us, so I took some pictures and put them on my computer and suprisingly some pictures taken from Alaska when Sienna was 1 were there too. So here are some pics of Sienna in Alaska.

Logan's First loose tooth


Logan is officially a big boy now. He has lost his first tooth! About a week ago I noticed that Logans bottom tooth was looking kind of funny and I realised that it was loose. Well we told Logan to wiggle it a lot because the big tooth underneath was coming up. I went to Youth Conference and while he was at my parents house he pulled it out all by himself! Jeff told him to wait and put it under his pillow when he was home but he begged my parents to put in under the pillow that night. Well the tooth fairy came and gave Logan some money. Logan bought a little motorcycle with it. Now a few days ago I noticed the tooth next to the one that came out is loose. He is not as anxious to get this one out as the first but it won't be long until Logan will have no bottom front teeth!

The Name Game

Well Jeff and I are still undecided on a baby name for our new one. I haven't really obsessed about it like I did with my other two babies, probably because I am not as bored as I was then. If anyone has any cute baby names they would like to suggest to us we would love some help. And if anyone has any favorites of the any of the ones we have so far comment on it!

My Pregnantness


Me Pregnant with Baby #3

Me Pregnant with Sienna at 5 1/2 months

I am pretty sure that I am about the same size as I was with Sienna so far, although I weighed more to begin with. I am finally free of morning and night sickness, hooray! I am getting to the uncomfortable stage now. I sleep ok still so that is good. We are still trying to decide on a name. This one is harder than our last two, I don't know why. I guess we just need to think harder.

St. George Vacation

For the Green family vacation this year, we decided to go to St. George for the weekend. We stayed at a really nice condo that was practical empty except for us so we had the pool to our selves! We did some swimming, shopping, boating, and just hanging out. We had lots of fun!

Logan was scared to get in deep water at first but he was swimming all over by the end of the trip.

We went to Sand Hollow and played on the beach and did some boating.


This is a place off the side of the road that Jeff found. There were really cool rock formations and a cool man made cave.



This is inside the cave.


This is a pioneer's home that was built a long time ago. His name is Jacob Hamblin. It was cool. And while Jake was taking this pic an acorn fell and hit him on top of the head, it was funny.





The guys found some lizards and let the kids play with them for a while.

The vacation was really fun but the day we got there I got sick. I thought is was allergies but by the third day I was coughing really bad and my chest and asthma where really bad. I also got a really bad sunburn, so I was prettty miserable for the last couple of days.

4th of July!



We celebrated the 4th this year with the usual traditions. Parade in Kaysville, Swimming at Aunt Valene's, Layton Fair, and Fireworks at the DeMille's. We had lots of fun! The kids had fun playing with all of there cousins and getting lots of candy.
I had my big ultrasound appointment on the 3rd and it went really well. She is definitely a girl. She was so cute when we first got a look of her face she gave a big yawn. Later in the ultrasound she put her arm over her face like she was hiding. We got it all on a CD! Sorry no pics.

Boating and our new vehicle




Well we decided to get a new vehicle to hold our growing family. We got an Acura MDX. So far I have really liked it. We got it for a really great deal. It has a third row seat for two and so it holds 7 people. Logan and Sienna really like being back there.



We went boating for the first time this year. It was really fun until we ran out of gas in the middle of the lake. My dad thought he filled it up at the end of the season last year but apparently he didn't. We got some help from another boat and they towed us in. I am a little bummed because this year I won't be doing any wakeboarding.
Our back yard is coming along good. It is starting to look better and better as time goes by. Jeff has done a lot of work on it. We hope it will be really nice by next spring. Sorry all of the pictures are out of order from the descriptions, I don't want to try and fix it right now.

And the baby is....

A GIRL! We went in today and the Doctor said that we are going to have a girl. We are really excited and can't wait to meet our new baby girl in November.
Logan was kind of sad at the Dr. office when he heard the news. He said something like "oh man". I got a few pictues from the ulrasound but I can't post them because I don't have a scanner. We are still undecided on the name for her but we will agree on one one of these days, hopefully before she is born.

Baby Millie Green is here!


Millie was born about 2 weeks ago but I am finally getting around to posting a picture. This is the only one I have of her so far but I will have more later. She is such a cute baby girl! My kids are obsessed with her, especailly Sienna. They can't wait for our little baby to be born. A few days ago I got to go to a Dr. appointment and she checked to see if we could find out the sex. Well the baby wouldn't open her legs but the Dr. thinks she might be a girl. I get to go back in 2 weeks and check again.

Pregnancy, Potty, Bikes, and Church

I am 14 weeks the end of this week which makes me 3 months and in my second trimester. I am finally starting to feel better, although I am not completely back to normal. June 1st is my next appointment and we get to find out what we are having. I am starting to poke out a little, I really just kind of look really full or fat (I hate this stage) When we get the camera's fixed I might post some belly pics.
Sienna recently decided she wanted to go pee in the potty now so that has been going really good. We ran out of diapers one day so Jeff put some panties on her and she has been doing great. Now #2 in another story.
Logan has also learned something new, he can now ride his bike without the training wheels! He was riding his bike one day and Jeff said "let me try something to make it a little easier for you" and he turned one of the wheels straight up. Logan started riding and Jeff told him he was doing it without the training wheels and that was that. We took them off and he has been riding around like crazy. Before when we tried to take them off he was scared and wouldn't try. So I guess since he didn't know he wasn't scared and was able to do it.
And in other news I was recently called into the Young Women's Presidency as the second councilor. So now I have to speak in sacrament again on Sunday with the rest of the presidency. I also got to go to a Combined activity with the YM/YW we played human Foosball, it was so fun!!
Jeff finally got a change in his work scheduled and he gets to work longer hours but gets more days off which means more family time!!

My Logan Boy!

Today I registered Logan for Kindergarten! Wow my baby boy is going to school. It is so weird how fast they grow up especially because I am staying the same age ha ha! He is so excited and ready for school. He gets really bored at home with no other kids to play with. He said he saw three kids that he knows from church so maybe he can start playing with them once I find out where they live and who they are.

Hey batter batter batter....











Logan has started T-ball and is loving it! He has only had two games so far. They don't keep score and they don't have any outs. It is so fun to watch the 5 year old boys play! This is how the game goes. All the kids practice throwing the ball to each other before the game starts, I have seen maybe one kid actually catch the ball. They start out and they are in out field. The other team hits the ball and about 5 out of the 10 kids go for the ball (one of them usually is Logan). One of them gets it and then the parents and the coach yell "throw it to first" about 10 times and then he realizes we want him to throw it to first. Logan will sometimes cry if he dosen't get the ball (he thinks that who ever gets it wins I guess and he has tackled a boy a time or two to get it. He even stepped on someones head trying to get the ball) So then they are up for bat and each kid gets a turn which lasts a while because the coach has to tell them how to hold the bat, where to stand and then they swing a few times, usually hitting the T. So they hit the ball and run to first, some kids like to keep running to second and some just stand there with the bat and watch everyone scramble for the ball. Logan likes to run past first. One kid actually ran to first and then ran over to the ball and tried to pick it up, it was so funny! That same kid started running behind first to never never land trying to find second base i guess. But anyway that is how it usually goes. They all have fun and Logan's favorite part is when they all do a cheer at the end.
