Park.

Me and chad went to the park a couple of weekends ago later in the evening and played with the ducks, took a walk in the park, found the Utah flag, and I laughed myself silly watching him try to catch a frog while narrorating himself in an australian accent. This boy makes me smile. A few days later we took connor there and skipped rocks, went duck watching, and saw a beaver for the first time. I love summer.

More of a hill and not so much a bump.

Here are a couple of newer pregnancy pictures. I've hit the abs splitting, back pain, long nights, having her jammed up under my ribs stage. Luckily its just over 7 weeks until Paytons due date, we are so excited! I love this little girl.

updated.

Sorry it's been so long since I've posted anything new up but we had some internet and then computer problems and are just now finally getting back in the game. Here are some awesome little ultrasound pictures of our little girl.

The little girl bum shot. Soo many happy tears from me and dad. :)

Look at her tiny perfect nose. ♥

We cant decide if she's trying to suck her thumb or beat on moms belly.

baby bump.

My belly is growing so much everyday and we love it!! It is so much fun feeling the baby kick and play. We sit with our hands on my belly and are simply amazed at how strong our little baby is already. It amazes me that at only twenty-one weeks we can see where the baby kicks.. only a little while until that little bumps will have an imprint of a little foot, (Shes kicking like crazy at this moment.) Here's an updated pictures of the baby bump.

Snowball fight round two.

We finally got some snow again, not a whole lot but enough for the kids to get excited about it. All of us got our coats on and went out and started up a massive snowball fight, our neighbor kids also joined in. Even when their little toes were frozen, their cheeks were bright red, their fingers would hardly move anymore and their clothes were soaking wet they still begged to stay outside to take in as much of the snow as they could. I love watching them get so excited to just be out playing together. When they came inside and took off all of their wet clothes in the kitchen and set them on the washer it made me think back to doing that same thing growing up; we'd come in from playing and take all of our wet clothes off and set them on the dryer while mom handed us a towel to dry off with and made us hot cocoa while running us warm baths. I want to be that kind of Mother to my kids.

   

Can you tell their COLD?!

Kierstin on the attack.

Dad.

Me using Kierstin as a shield.

She's so cute!

Connor.

Kissing when you can't feel your face proved to be difficult!

John Michael hits Connor with a snowball.

Connor can't hit him back and gets mad.

John Michael laughs.

Connor tackles John Michael in the snow.

Now Connor laughs.

Making cookies.

We spent the evening together last night and dad made ritz peanut butter and chocolate cookies, I've never had them before and they are delicious! The kids had so much fun sprinkling them and especially eating them all up! We love when we have everyone together and get to have some fun family time. ♥

                                                         Can you tell them LOVED them?!

My honey buns.

 I love this boy. He is so incredible. I couldn't have found anyone more perfect for me or better for me. He makes me so very happy, everyday with him is such a blessing. We have a wonderful family and life together, something we never try to forget or take for granted. We've been through hell and back in the last year and sticking it out and working together we finally made it where we are now: our own little piece of heaven on earth. I am so grateful to him and for him and everything he has brought into my life. Our days get busy between house hold chores, work, running the kids around, and the family life and its not everyday i get time to show him how crazy i am about him. how he still gives me butterflies and makes me feel flirty. how deeply and genuinely in love with his heart and his soul i am. how I can't help but smile when he's laughing. how i think hes an amazing father. how I cant be without him.

He is my eternal love.

I LOVE MY HONEY BUNS!

* I realize the picture of us isn't fantastic since I'd been flying all day and he'd been pacing back and forth in the Airport for the late arrival of my re-booked flight since i missed mine to Tennessee out of Chicago.. but this is our first picture together since I moved here and it means the world to me.
