Busy week

Now that I'm feeling good I can't stand to be at home all day. It's funny how I went from not wanting to ever leave the house to feeling like I have to get out every day! This week I've been making myself busy. I started by going to Costco and the mall, then we went to the distribution center and the LDS book store, and today we went to the mall again and Toys R Us. Now remember everything is at least a hour to a hour and half to drive so it takes my day. Audrey got some cute comfy shoes that I think she will actually wear instead of riping them off as soon as she put them on. (fingers crossed) She also got a baby stroller which she is in love with, it's so cute to see her act like a little mama.

Landon got his first Book of Mormon and scripture case which he has been asking for, for weeks now. I guess it's the cool thing to bring to church. :D He also got a big tub of Lego's that were on sale at Toys R US. It's nice to have a little bit of money to get things for the kids.

While we were at Toys R US Landon made a friend he calls his other little sister. They were sitting in the cars pretend driving together. It was really cute at one point the 3 year old little girl said to Landon "hey do you want to listen to Journey? Ya lets listen to Journey." I asked her mom if she listens to Journey she said no but he husband loves it. I thought it was so funny that the little girl knew she Dad's favorite band. Such cute things that little kids remember and say.

Car Ride

On the way home from swimming at the Mitchell's Landon wouldn't share his treats with Audrey she was asking so nicely but he was saying no theses are mine. After several times of me telling him to share with his sister he finally did. After sharing he says to me "Mom you are turning into a baby. I am big now, I'm even tall enough to drive. Just you wait I will be driving soon and you will be the baby." I guess he wants to drive and boss me around...lol I thought it was pretty funny.

I went out with the girls last night for a very needed girls night out. We saw Mamma Mia..I loved it! I totally recommend it, if you are in the mood for a feel good movie and if you like Abba songs. :D After the movie we went and got ice cream at the local Rite Aid. Have you had the Rite Aid ice cream? I never even knew Rite Aid had a Little ice cream parlor until just recently, it's pretty good, and cheap ice cream go check it out.

First Doctors Appt

I went to the doctor yesterday, which I have to admit even now I still get so nervous about going. I have to tell myself to breath and that everything will be alright while I wait for my name to be called. Knowing what I am going to have to experience once my name is called is not very pleasant in my opinion. I'm going to find out how much I weigh which every girl always dreads especially when they know that they are gaining weight! I also know I'm going to have to pee in a cup but I am proud to say that I've almost mastered that art...lol After the bathroom experience I get to go into room #2 where I wait to meet my new doctor who is an older Asian man with an accent i can barely understand, but he is very nice. The first appt isn't very pleasant after meeting the doctor if you know what I mean but i won't go into the details, let just skip to the one thing that I always love. I was very happy to see the ultrasound machine, Yay for technology! I got to see my baby for the first time. It is always so sweet to see the baby moving and knowing there is a baby there, and I'm not just sick, sick, sick for no reason. We did find out what the sex of the baby is and we are having another....drum roll.... BOY!! His name will be either John Carson or Carson John which way sounds better?? Bret and I can't make up our mind about it. I will post some of the ultrasound pictures when I can get them scanned into the computer.

Life

Some people have been asking me what has been going on in my life. I am pleased to say Nothing!!..lol jk I have been enjoying being back here in Southern California a place where i have grown to love and call home.

The kids are doing very good, it was a hard transition moving from Dallas to here. We had to shack up with my in-laws for the first month and a half which proved to be very difficult. I found out I was pregnant within a week of moving here and then a week later I was sick as a dog! So....to keep the kids out of everything, feed them, and playing with them between throwing up was horrible...lol I can laugh about it now but while it was happening I was pretty much crying everyday. Luckily Bret worked from home so he was able to help me when I really needed it. Now we are in the our own apartment which had been so much nicer/easier, except for the flood that happened in our bedroom/bathroom wall about a month ago. We are still having to sleep in our living room with the mattress on the floor. The smells were so terrible we couldn't even shower in our bathroom for at least 2 weeks after it happened. Now the bathroom is fixed and all is well in there, but the bedroom still smells like mold so I choose to sleep in the living room.

Enough with the bad which has to make me laugh..lol We have been enjoying swimming at our in-laws house pretty much every day, we are all tan and the kids have the same color of skin as me which I think is so adorable. Well Bret isn't tan but he doesn't swim as much as me and the kids and when he does swim he always where's a shirt. :D Since moving here Bret has been able to make a little bit more money than he was making so we haven't had to eat rice and beans every night, we have graduated to rice and gravy. ;) No we have been able to eat out a little bit more often so I don't have to cook every single night. BUT we still do eat rice and beans quite often I have grown to love and crave them since being pregnant. Actually i can't stand the smell of meat cooking, i love the smell of beans cooking there is something comforting about it...i know I'm weird. I am very lucky to have a husband that will eat everything i fix so he lets me do whatever I want as long as it's not pb and J's. :) I guess a little more than nothing has been happening since we moved.

favorite things Landon has said:

"hey mom this is my fiend Dude." while he points to the empty chair and now "Dude" has become an apart of our everyday lives. :D

"Mom I'm jack Sparrow and you are Pirate Girl and we are going to fight the bad pirates!"

"Oh mom look there is a butterfly...hi cute little butterfly."

"Mom isn't that the cutest little baby, oh she is so cute."

"Mom times up, it's my turn on the computer."

"Mom Dudes says he wants me to bring this car to church." and of course Dude comes to church with us. :D
