Pregnancy Update

 This pregnancy has been amazing! Not much to complain about. I was sick in the beginning but still tried to eat healthy and work out as much as possible. This was the first time EVER that I had worked out during a pregnancy and boy did it help! I also started to see a chiropractor for my lower back pain and that helped a ton as well. I had some heart burn and leg cramps towards the end, but I had that with my other pregnancy's as well. All in all I felt pretty good. My main craving was cereal and costa vida, yum! I could have eaten that every day!

We are so excited to meet this baby girl! We have had ups and downs this pregnancy trying to use all of our faith to know that Heavenly Father is looking out for us but there were times of worry along the way. One of our main concerns was when to delivery this baby. Everything I read said between 36 and 38 weeks was best. I knew that keeping baby in as long as possible was also best, so after much prayer and thought I felt good about 38 weeks. The only problem was I could NOT get my Doctor to sign off on that, I'm not sure why it was such a fight with him. He said the hospital would not schedule it any sooner then 39 weeks. I begged him to just talk to the hospital. I knew that my case was different, and if they could just look at my history it would not be a problem. Anyways I'm not sure what happened but the week after a family fast I left my Doctor appointment in tears because again my doctor would not talk to the hospital. But after I left not even an hour later I got a phone call saying we could schedule it at 38 weeks. Prayers were answered and we were so happy! At that point it gave us 3 weeks until baby was coming! Let the count down begin!

Paisley's first hair cut

Paisley had her first hair cut in April. The time had come, her mullet was getting a little out of control. The back of her hair was growing way faster than the front. Aunt Lindsey gave her her first hair cut and she loved every minute of it. She looks so adorable! 

Father's Day

My girls are the luckiest girls ever! They sure do have one of the best dads ever! I was so happy that we ended up being able to just lay low and spend all day at home with Jeff. Jeff has been serving as the assiant  executive secretary in our ward for the past 3 years. It has been a wonderful experience and blessing in our life so it was bitter sweet when a few weeks ago he was released and called to be the 1st counselor in the Elders Quorum. What this really means is now we get daddy home on sunday mornings!! YAHOO!!! All plans to visit Jeff's dad and my dad fell through, so it was a rare and fun day to spend all day just our family. Happy Fathers Day Jeff!

Mothers Day

I was spoiled on mothers day! Jeff and the girls let me sleep in while they made me breakfast and made me the sweets cards. We then went to church and that night had everyone over for dinner. The guys did all the planning, cooking and cleaning! It was a treat for sure! I have the best women and examples of mothers in my life and I feel so blessed! 

Easter 2013

We started the Easter weekend with a family Easter party at the park. I love Easter and spring time and its the perfect time of the year to spend as much time outside as possible!

We had games, yummy food, lots of fun prizes. It was an AWESOME party! 

 The egg hunt was a hit as always, the grandkids are all getting so big. It was fun to watch them all hunt for eggs this year. 

 Grandma Janet got all the kids a little stuffed easter bunny. They all LOVE their bunnies so much! Paisley named her bunny sparkles and Liberty named hers hopper. We ended up being at the park for hours! It was a wonderful day full of family and fun! 

 Easter Morning we woke up and found all the eggs the easter bunny had hid around our house, and then got ready and headed to church.

Hiking the San Tan Mountain (feb, 2013)

 Once I finally started to feel better from this pregnancy we were all dying to get out and have some fun! On Jeff's day off we decided to pack a lunch and go hike the San Tan trails. It was a fun family outing. The girls did great and enjoyed the fresh air! 

Children's Museum of Phoenix

Bank of America has a program called museum's on us, and every first weekend of the month if you show your bank of america debit card you can get in free to any of the museums they are offering at that time. We were SO excited when they added the Children's Museum of Phoenix this year. 

 Every time we watch PBS channel 8 they show commercials for the museum and the girls always get so excited and beg to go. It was so much fun, such a great place for kids. We hope to go as much as possible this year.

 I think the hit attractions were, painting the rocket ship, the grocery store and the pizza restaurant .
