Fall Favorites...

I love this time of year. the crisp colors, the cool air, the warmth of being inside, the cute fall clothing, candles, and of course the bright leaves. Unforntantly i havnt gotten any pictures of the leaves around here. i need too, but doubt that i will before Kason comes, and i know i wont after he comes. So i snagged some from a search on google, arnt they so pretty!

My other all time favorite fall thing, CANDLES! When we were in Utah i got this candle from a local shop and it was called Ginger Bread.. oh man that candle made our entire apartment smell like i just baked forever. it was amazing, and another favorite from that local shop SUGAR COOKIE candle!! so yummy! smelled like fresh cake! :) Lastnight as my mom, logan, and i unpacked boxes i found those candles, but unfortantly they were so low that i had to throw them out, the wicks were gone. i think i packed them with hope that somehow i could still use them, oh well. I will find new ones for our new place. I also love the look of candles when they burn, so pretty... again i dont have any of my own candle pictures so here are some more i got from a google search.

Not much else going on though. Still unpacking and STILL WAITING for Kason to show up! i have been really patient these past 9 months, now i just want him out! im tired, im huge, im grumpy, and i wanna see my kid! I have a doctor appointment tomorrow, so if nothing has happened by then, hopefully we will figure out whats going on tomorrow morning! yay!! :) :) have a great day!

Catch up.

So i know its been almost 3 weeks, sorry! lol.. no baby yet.. soon though.

Friday we got the keys to our townhouse! Friday night Logan, my dad, logan's dad, adam, scott, and a few people from church moved all our stuff into the house. yay!! it looked like a nightmare, boxes everywhere, hardly any room to walk, no food in the kitchen to eat, etc. but it was home!

Saturday we headed up to the Puyallup fair with my parents, brother and his family, sister and her family, and cousin. it was alot of fun. ALOT of walking around. my plan- to walk this kid out of me! lol. it didnt work.. grr.. but we had a ton of fun watching the kids on a few rides, looking at all the Animals, even a ZE-DONK! and checking out all the products people are selling. the best part... FAIR FOOD! gotta love all that yummy, fatty fair food!

Sunday morning Logan left for work and i woke up a bit after 9, found cereal, bowl, spoon, and milk and had breakfast. My mom called and said she was on her way. She helped me unpack our entire kitchen!! that was ALOT of stuff to unpack!! ALOT ALOT ALOT!! thank you mom so so much!! Logan got home from work, and then we headed over to my mom and dads for Sunday dinner. Then of course what would a night be without a trip to the ER?

Kason hadnt moved at all yesterday so I called and explained and they said to come on in. So after a TON of juice, laying on my side, and poking around they got him to move enough to send me home. But not until after i found out that i was having small contractions, which lasted all night and into today. so hopefully we will be seeing Baby Kason this week! so excited! i just dont want to go over! lol. i can't believe tomorrow will be only one week until due day!

{a whole bunch of nothingness}

Been a week, sorry guys!
This past weekend was alot of fun! Logan and I had Friday off and we slept in and then packed up and headed out to Ocean Shores with his family for a big family trip. It was alot of fun, weather wasnt too bad. I was a huge LAMO and took a totaly of ZERO pictures! oh man thats so bad! We went and played put put mini golf and bumper boats (i watched). it was so much fun. unfortantly we never actually made it to the beach, but it was still fun.
Monday morning we woke up early, packed up and left the camp site by 8:30 to meet logan's brother Rod, to go dirt biking. Logan had such a great time. I stayed out at Valeen and Larry's house (my inlaws) and did laundry, showered, watched a movie, and played with the kittens. I acutally took two kittens home with me to give to the family i nanny. they loved them! They are super cute! :) :)
Anywho i do need to vent.. communication. how hard it is to communicate? It just seems recently there has been a big empty spot of communication with some people in my life. It is so fusterating because im starting to see that this isnt the first time its happened, but infact its something that has been missing through out my whole relationship wtih this person (no not logan we are doing great) but its something iknow i have to just let it go, as much as i try its like its a one way street or a two way with traffic only going one way. there is only so much i can do about it though. i guess if you are reading this ( you know who you are) i do love you. I will always love you, but please try to open up. Please try to commincate with me. Just the simple things would be nice.
On another note. Logan and I turned in our application to a town house. We are just waiting to hear back. so soon!! if we do get it we will move in either the end of this month or early next month. either way i dont care i just want our own place. we love the generousity that my parents have shared for this past year, but we need our own place. we need our own bathroom, kitchen, tv. everything ya know? privacy is nice. plus we dont want to bring Kason home to my parents, id ont know its just nice to bring him home to his own place. I have the cutest things for his nursry! so excited to get it all set up for him.
well i better let you all go. have a great day! :)

crazy kid.

Today is Ethan's birthday! (the little boy i nanny) HOLY COW!! i can't believe he is 5!!! i know i have only watched him for 6 months now but it has seemed longer, in a good way. he is so full of engery and love i love it! he is such a great helper too!! each day he helps me pick things up, take care of the babies, and of course give hugs to baby kason in my tummy! i think he is more excited about me having a baby than anyone else! :)
I love this picture of him! total ethan!! happy 5th birthday buddy!! hope its the best!

Hello there

wow it has been a while. sorry about that. not a whole lot going on here. tomorrow i will be...

crazy!! i can't believe that i am this far along already!!! Women usually go into labor anywhere from 37week and so on...! crazy! I am really going to be a parent? insane right? lol no comments! anywho.. well Logan offically started his new job today! YAY! he now works in Tacoma which is 30 minutes closer and he now works from 7am-3pm instead of 3pm-until whenever they let him go, usually 2am! crazy!! so im happy we will be seeing eachother again!! exciting! Im happy too because i wasnt too kean on working all day long and coming home wtih baby Kason and doing it all alone and not having logan spend that time with Kason as well. He would only have weekends with him, and i didnt want that. Thats what my dad worked as i grew up for the most part and i didnt like it. missed him. so this new job sounds a whole lot better.

Also cannot forget Saturday was Alec's Birthday!!! i cant believe he turned 9!! insane!!!

hope it was a great birthday buddy!! we love you!!! and today is Gracie's birthday!!
hope you are having a great birthday!! i can't believe you are 6 already and going into first grade!! we love you!!!

bitter sweet.

this weekend we said good bye to Oreo. I know he was only a hamster, but i am a HUGE animal lover and it was super hard to say goodbye, even though i knew it was going to happen soon. a few weeks ago Oreo had something wrong with his eye, it was scabbed over like it got infected. i found out on the internet how to treat it, and it was healing. well this last week we have been staying at logan's dad's house, house sitting. on wednesday i went over and did somethings at our place and fed the animals and checked on Oreo, well thats when i discovered he had wet tail. Wet Tail is terminal for hamsters. once they get it, its only a matter of time until they die. Oreo died shortly after and im pretty sure it was in his sleep. we found him in his favorite spot in the corner all curled up in a ball. i will miss him, but like the title says its bitter sweet. Its sad that he died, but now he is no longer in pain. i like to think he's in hamster heaven :)

in a better place.

my sister just messaged me and told me that this morning James E. Faust, 2nd coounselor in the First Presidency of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints. otherwise known as mormons or LDS.

I do not personally know him, but i have listened to his words of faith, hope, education, love, and inspirations as long as i can remember. Luckily logan and I have had a few times where we were able to listen to his couceling in person. He always seemed to speak straight from his heart. It is sad to know he is no longer with us here on earth, but a great feeling to know he is back with our Heavenly Father in Heaven. He no longer suffers from illness. He will be looking over us from now on. Please keep a special place in your heart and prayers for his family. To comfort, and ease their pain. i know they have a great understanding of where he is and that must be a great comfort, but i am sure they are still sad and will forever miss him.

how i wish...

that i would get away falling sleep anywhere id like too.
this is little miss Addie last week. Mid bottle curled up on the floor, out like a light. now this is not unusual for this girl. she has fallen asleep countless places: highchairs, boppy (laying upside down) in the corner of the room, against the baby gate, pretty much anywhere and i love it cause she is so stinkin cute :)

not too much going on. Had another dr. appointment today which gave me some relief. Lastnight i realized i hadn't felt Kason move all day. so i tried to get him to move and he wouldn't. Finally at 1am he moved after i poked my belly with a flashlight for 30 minutes. after a few movements i fell asleep and then this morning he wasnt moving much at all. so at my appointment they monitored me and his heart beat, and guess what.. as soon as we got there he decided to move around like a crazy man! this kid is already driving me nuts! lol too stubborn. wants to move when he feels like it and now when i need him too lol.i guess my payback is already in gear.

Yesterday i made the CUTEST onsie for Addie. Well its one of her onsies that i stitched on. it says in pink lettering, SHE'S MY NANNY and some flowers with button centers! i love it!! and hopefully people wont be stupid and ask if all three kids are mine anymore. lol i doubt it.

well have a great day! im excited to head up to Puyullap again this week to babysit for Amy and play with the kiddos and cuddle with miss Hannah aka nanners :) :) adios!!

8 months!!

thats right ladies and gents!! i am 8 months preggo!! :) how exciting is that??? and here are some pictures to share with you. Amy took them this weekend and my cousin, Jennifer's wedding. yes i am actually that big, and getting bigger! lol i have no idea how i do it lol :)

in search for...

an apartment! so the hunt begins! logan and i are looking for an apartment to move in whenever now.. we have stayed long enough at my parents to save up money, thanks mom and dad, and are ready to move out again :) been looking on craigslist and the olympian so hopefully we will find something soon :) i would LOVE a 3bedroom so Kason wouldnt have to share a room with a computer, but im not holding my breath. Apartments are getting expensive! i wish we could just buy our own home. i would love that! :) anywho not too much else going on around here. hope you all have a great day! :)

guess what?

crazy! i cant believe that i am already this far along. it seriously feels like last week i was only a few weeks hoping that this time everything would go well. Its almost August, just today and tomorrow is whats left of July. Then BAM its August... usually the hottest month of the year! i just need to make it through that and it should be cake, right? lol i hope so.
this weekend was my cousin Jennifer's wedding. She was so beautiful! radient! her dress, the flowers, cake, decorations, EVERYTHING was perfect. She married such a great guy, Don. Happy to have him as a cousin. Unfortantly i didnt bring my camera, lame yes i know. but oh well right? my sister did the wedding pictures for them so im sure i can post one on here when she gets them all done.
Amy took a picture of me at the place where the wedding was held. i look huge, but then i realize that i am 8months along and i have a baby inside of me taking up all the room he can! lol
i cant wait to meet him. to see what he looks like, what he sounds like, what his temperment is like. I keep having these dreams that he has black hair! dark dark hair. maybe he will get that from my dad. i dont know... no clue. well thats pretty much it for now. just wanted to stop in and say hello :)

pictures!

Hey everyone hope your having a great week. Mine is okay... tired very tired. i am totally into my Harry Potter book, but i read for about 40 minutes then fall asleep lol! its not that is a bad book because its amazing! but i just get too tired to stay awake lol. but then in the middle of the night i wake up and cant sleep! UG! oh well thats pregnancy i guess.

anywho here are some pictures of the little ones i nanny. im always talking about them, and thought it would be nice to put a face the stories :)

most of the pictures Ashley took ( a friend of the family i nanny for)

This is miss Addie. Super messy, but always super CUTE :)

This is Ethan. Crazy wild child full of love!

Clara (my boss) and Addie at the beach

Brinnon and Addie in the little swimming pool.

and of course Miss Dannon! or as i like to call her "princess stuck up" she can be a big priss when she wants to be, but you gotta love her.

10 more weeks!!

i seriously can't believe in only 10 weeks we will be welcoming our little man into the world!! the time has flown by so quickly! i cant believe it. i swear it was only yesterday i took the test that would change our world forever! Saturday we hit walmart to pick up a few things and swung by the baby section and picked out a cute outfit Kason, for a few bucks! its like a button up camo shirt, but the camo shapes are monkeys! and it has a shirt that goes with it underneath that has a monkey on it. super cute :) :)

Last monday i went and saw Harry Potter in the Imax theater with Clara and Derek. it was awesome i loved loved loved it! i saw it that saturday before (i couldnt wait any longer lol) so i have seen it twice. its amazing. go see it!This weekend was Lake Fair so logan and i got things done on Saturday, got some pants i desepratly needed! checked out handle bars for logans motorcycle... OH OH OH!! LOGAN PASSED HIS MOTORCYCLE DRIVING TEST yay! yay! yay! then we headed down to Lake Fair and walked around, ate some yummy foods and just enjoyed being together. i hate his work schedule! the weekends are our only time to be together. i wish we had more time. especially when Kason comes. i want logan to see him more than the weekends.

Lastnight was the Lake Fair Fireworks. we ended up going WAY ealier then usual, and then sat in the pouring rain for 40 minutes. yes we were the only ones there for a long time! lol then finally the rain stopped and it was more enjoyable. more people showed up. the fireworks were great!! had an awesome time :) :)

Saturday i also got the new Harry Potter book! yay!! Clara ordered it for me from Amazon.com and it came late that afternoon! i cant wait to get further into it! tonight!! so excited!

well everyone hope you have a great day!

good movie...

So here in Lacey our theater does free kid movie days. they play older kid movies for free at 10am on tuesdays and thursdays. well on tuesday we got there at 9:50 and it was sold out already! no seats what so ever!! teach us for next time right? so we decided to go see Ratatouille. SUCH A GOOD MOVIE!! Ethan loved it, the babies loved it! it was great! now in real life i dont like rats, and honestly i was thinking how in the heck were they going to make a rat cute? but look at this little guy!!
how can you not say that is cute? I say go see it. take the kids, go on a date, whatever its a great movie for adults and kiddos. :)

check me out!

thats right everyone! i am finally 7 months along!! 28 weeks and one day to be exact :) lol. so excited!! full term labor is anywhere from 38-42 weeks so i only have about 9-14 weeks! im SO HOPING that Kason is not OVERDUE! yuck!

yesterday i got a call from a nurse at St. Petes letting me know that since i have med coupons through the state i automatically qualify with a program called First Steps. they come to me and check me out every 6 weeks and once Kason is born they will come and check him out every week for a bit. they come if i ever need help or anything. they help you find doctors, dentists, eye doctors, etc. etc. etc. they have groups of moms that get together from the comunity and just hang out. they have a scrapbooking class too! sounds like alot of fun! i got to hear Kason's heart beat again and the nurse said he is right on track and sounding perfect! YAY YAY YAY!!! so happy everything is going well. i might be one of those people who other moms to be envy because i have it so easy. lol. i hardly swell yet, i dont get sick, no diabetes, im doing great i only have gained 8 pounds so far! (dont worry he is healthy i had plenty to share!) and i feel great!! the heats not the best but im living with it, and its nothing like Utah's summer last year so im doing just fine :)

hope you all are doing great. enjoying the summer. i love it so far!

PICTURES!!!!!!!

as i promised here are some pictures from this weekend. The light was PERFECT!!

now Colby had a spill on the slide and split his lip open right when logan and i got there before everyone started showing up.. poor little guy had to go get stitches, but lucky they were there and back within 2 hours! SO QUICK for the E.R. :) the picture is not the best but its about quarter inch wide almost the whole way through the lip if not the whole way through the lip. nothing 3 stitches cant fix!

Alan's face totally cracks me up here! love it!
also a milestone for logan and i....

WHOA the for explorer reached a hundred thousand miles!

so this weekend was really nice. My parents took the kids and went camping which ment a house to ourselves. we love that my parents let us stay with them, but its nice to be just us once in a while and since logan works nights now and we hardly see eachother its really nice. we went swiming, hung out side and just had a great time. Yesterday was Colby's 2nd birthday party and it was a blast i have TONS of beautiful pictures to show you all. just gotta upload them tonight. lets just say hot weather, messy food, sticky kid fingers equals fun pictures. have a better monday!!
