Multnomah Falls

On Saturday we went to Multnomah Falls with my sister Kea, Danny, Hailey, and my brother Brandon. Our good friends the Freys also came along. It was a good day to hike. We ate our picnic lunch and then hiked all the way to the top! We brought KaeLynn's stroller because we knew we would end up carrying her. It was tough pushing up the stroller, but when KaeLynn is happy we are happy! Well, I only pushed for a bit, but it was hard! In these pictures I am almost done with my 5Th month of pregnancy at 23 weeks. Hiking is one of my favorite things to do and I would do it every weekend if I could! I am so glad we had family and friends to go with.

Daddy's Clothes

Cavan has this new habit not putting his church clothes away after church. Well this morning KaeLynn found them and wanted to play dress up. My poor attempt of tying the tie is pretty sad. Cavan had tried to teach me how, but he so picky that I can not make his "windsor tie". KaeLynn tied my tie and I think she did great! She loves to button up buttons and put on clothes. It was real cute!

Baby Cake Celebration

We decided it would be fun to find out the sex of our baby by having our family around as we cut a cake to reveal the gender. It was such a fun way to find out! At my ultrasound, I ask the ultrasound technician to write down in an envelope the gender of our baby. I then gave the envelope to a women in my ward that makes fantastic cakes. She then would die the cake the color of the gender. Blue for boy, pink for girl. Well, it was blue! On the outside of the cake it read "Twinkle twinkle little star, soon we'll find out what you are." It was so nice to have family around to share our wonderful news.

It's a boy!

We are having a boy! We are so excited! We know his name will be Daniel, but we just have to come up with a middle name. I am measuring right where I should be and everything seems to be going fine. He is moving a lot now! I am really like the stage of pregnancy I am in now. I am comfortable, not as tired, and not nauseous! I could stay here for a while! We look forward to having our little Daniel be apart of our family!

Easter 2011

Our Easter started on Saturday with a beautiful sunny day. We went with the family to Woodvillage to do an Easter egg hunt. The Easter Bunny showed up in a helicopter so it was a pretty big deal. Then the hunts were split up into age groups. KaeLynn's group was such a disappointment. The area was so small and they asked the parents to not come in. To only allow the children. Well, no one listen and the place was completely crowded with adults. The whole thing lasted about 30 seconds and KaeLynn only got two eggs. Oh well! At least it was a gorgeous day. Then on Sunday we had a wonderful Easter dinner with the family. Then the kids had a real chance at getting some eggs. That week we also had a really good Family Home evening on the meaning of Easter. KaeLynn really didn't understand, but she enjoyed watching the movie about Christ being resurrected.

Potty Training Bear

KaeLynn has been doing really well with potty training. We have had few bad days, but then she surprises me and does awesome the next. I can tell she is more confident, especially because yesterday she was potty training her Bear. This Bear she has had since she was born and it is one of her favorite stuffed animals. She dresses him in her clothes. Puts diapers on him, and cooks him food from her play kitchen. Yesterday I walk into her room to hear her saying "Bear, it is not okay!" I ask her what happened and she was "cleaning up the floor" because she told me that bear pooped on the carpet. She "cleaned" up his mess he made, wiped him down with a wipe, and took him to sit on her little potty. She then told him to use the potty. After a minute, she pushed him aside to show him how it is done. She went and then decided that she would share her candy she got for going potty with him. I am so proud!

Pregnany update

I am 17 weeks pregnant and this morning I felt the baby move! I feel so much better than I did. I am still sensitive to vegetables. I have to disguise them in my food and smoothies. I am slowly starting to eat them raw which is better then when they are cooked. I am still able to run! I am much slower than I used to be. Roy'l and I used to run 3 miles in 30 minutes easy! I run for 30 mins only so if I don't get 3 miles in I still stop. I am not as tired and don't fall asleep on the couch right after KaeLynn goes down. I still need naps every once in a while. My anatomy ultrasound in on the 29Th. We are so excited to find out the sex of our baby!
