Blog slacker

Justin has been on me about updating the blog but we have not had a computer for the last couple of weeks. We now have a computer but being the computer genius that I am I still need to figure out how to do pictures on it. So this post will not have any pictures, just an update. Sorry!

We have been busy since our last post. The kids are both back in Kindermusik and swim lessons. Anderson now goes to his own Kindermusik class and Adalayde and I go together. They are both loving swim lessons and think their teachers are fantastic.

Anderson also started preschool. I can not believe that my baby boy is old enough to go to preschool but, he is and he loves it. On his first day of school he was so excited, he is in a carpool with two little girls from our ward but I insisted on driving them all to his first day. We got to his school and I could feel the tears welling up. I had promised myself that I would not cry but I am pregnant and all. So I get him out of the car and am trying so hard not to cry, lucky for me his teacher is all business. I love her but she was not going to give us much mommy sheds a few tears time. She has a schedule to follow, so she took and Anderson and Daisy's hands and just like that my baby was gone. So, I did not even have time to cry. I got back in the car and started to drive away. Well, that is when Adalayde figured out exactly what had happened. Her brother left her to play with other kids and she did not get to go. Adalayde proceeded to cry tears for both of us. Poor girl cried for twenty minutes straight. She is adjusting to him being gone but we have to go shopping/ run errands while he is gone. She is not a fan of being home without her brother, and even though I think she enjoys our time together she is always very excited to pick him up.

We took one last family vacation before the arrival of baby number three. We went to North Carolina to visit some of our most favorite people in the world. We had so much Fun! My kids were in absolute heaven. I mean what could be better than having six loving cousins to play with and a house full of balls. It was seriously the most relaxing trip I have been on since I had children. My kids were entertained by cousins twenty four seven. Well not really twenty four seven but during all hours they were awake. I knew that not only were they being entertained but they were being watched and loved. The White kids know exactly what my kids like and before bed they read books to my kids like WALTER THE FARTING DOG and EVERYBODY POOPS. Yes, the White kids really know my kids!

My kids are typically home bodies and when we are on vacation they always say they want to go home. Not on this trip, Adalayde specifically made herself right at home by declaring that Noel's bedroom was her new room. She would willingly go to bed and take naps as long as she was in her orange room. Noel was so nice to share with her. Anderson consumed the other kids time by playing pin ball basketball and hing hong (ping pong) anytime we were at the house. Shannon and Erin took us to a little beach that you could only get to with a boat. It was so fun to let the kids swim in the shallow water and explore and find all kinds of sea creature. We also saw tons of Dolphins, Adalayde was so excited about the dolphins she was shaking. Justin enjoyed spending time watching sports with other guys who appreciate sports as much as he does and I enjoyed not even noticing the game was on because I had Erin and the girls to talk too. As we drove back to the airport we laughed about how much fun we had and I cried because I wish we lived closer and we talked about our next trip, which we hope will be very soon! It was so much fun I would even brave the flight with three kids!! The kids were great on the flight, especially on the way home. For Anderson it was complete exaushtion having had so much fun. When we landed in SLC and got off the plane Anderson lost it. He was screaming at the top of his lungs that he did not want to come back that he wanted to go back to North Carolina. Then he tried to run back on the plane. Luckily it was pretty late so the airport was not very busy because trust me he made a scene. People were laughing saying well, I guess he had a good trip. Yes, indeed he did, we all did. Thank you White family for welcoming us into your home and making us feel right at home. We miss you all so much and Can't wait to come back soon! Pictures will be coming soon!

As for baby number three, she is making me fatter everyday. Actually this is the best I have felt during my pregnancies. I guess that might have something to do with the fact that I have only gained about 25 pounds this time verses the nearly forty with my other two, imagine that? We fully expect that in less than six weeks we will have another baby in our home to love and cherish. No, we are not ready but will be soon. We are excited to have a baby girl and that we will soon be a family of five.
