Suprise suprise

So for those of you that were not aware, Lance and I are expecting baby number 3! We are excited about it. I got Jaxon a shirt that said "big brother" and Kyleigh one that said "big sister." They are pretty excited about it. Jaxon is just getting impatient already, he keeps asking me when the baby is going to come out. I don't think he realizes how long it really will be. So we are expecting sometime in December, I will update what the doctor says when I go. I can tell I am preggo, I am tired and my stomach has been buggin me! Hopefully this one will not lead to 50 lbs of extra lovin:)

I just finished my las final today and am SO excited to have the summer off. I really need a break. Well hopefully I will get some pictures posted on here soon of our adventures.

School needs to finish for a minute!

Ok I am so sick of school, I need a break. I drive up to Weber State EVERY day, which takes about 25- 30 minutes one way. I am there some nights until 5. It just is rough because I find myself trying to be a perfectionist at everything I do. From being a mom, to school, to exercise, to being a wife. Thank goodness I am not employed, I would go completely insane. If I did not care so much about trying to do everything the best I can, I think it would be easier. It also is rough because I only see my husband probably 8 hours a week, if that.
So I have decided to take the summer off!!!! This means I will be in school longer, but I feel like a break is needed. I might get a little bored this summer, but I am sure I will manage.

anyways..........

Funny story, Kyleigh is now potty trained and has been for about maybe 2 months now. Sometimes she has accidents and I probably should not get mad at her but I do because she knows better now. Both our bathrooms are upstairs so it is hard to run to the bathroom and make it, but I am suprised with how good they are. Yesterday Kyleigh comes downstairs from going to the bathroom and had new underwear on. I said, "Kyleigh why do you have new underwear on?"
Kyleigh says, "cause I wanted these ones." Ok I thought to myself, that's fine, whatever.
Later in the evening, guess what I found in my bathroom garbage can? I found soaken wet little GIRL underwear. They for sure were peed in! So I go ask Kyleigh, " Kyleigh, why did you throw your underwear away?" Kyleigh bursts into tears and says, " Jaxon peed in my underwear."
I said, " Jaxon does not wear little girl underwear, he has little boy underwear." This little arguement went on back and forth for a while. Then, I tried to calm her down and say, " Kyleigh did you have an accident, it's fine if you did, just tell me?" Oh my goodness, this little stubborn girl would not quit blamming jaxon and crying.
I finally got it out of her! I asked her, " Kyleigh did you try to go to the bathroom and forget to take off your underwear? So you peed in them?" Finally she just cried out, " yyyyeesss'." She was so sad. So what a sneaky little girl, throwing away the evidence and then blamming her brother for it. I feel bad because she just did not want to get into trouble. I just thought I would share that little story, because I thought it was funny! I need to start writing down all of the funny things my kids do, because time is flying by and I don't want to forget them.
Thanks for reading:)

Jaxon is FOUR!!!

So I have taken a trip down memory lane and it makes me so sad that time is flying by sooooo FAST!!! My little Jaxon turned FOUR on tuesday! I can not believe it. I just wanted to post some pictures of my little man's life so far. He is my best little buddy and I am so thankful for him! He came as a SURPISE and I would not change it for the world. I remember the day I found out! I was SO scared!!!!! Lance was with me, and after 4 positive pregnancy tests we were still not positive it was real. A trip to planned parenthood made it REAL! I was so young and not even ready to be married; I wondered why heavenly father would allow this to happen. What kind of parents would we make? I knew I did not have parents that could help me either. We also barely had any education behind us! I was not ready to be a mom and Lance was not ready to be a dad. Obviously we made some quick big decisions; we got married (and in the interest of not writing a novel), things have turned out just fine! I love Jaxon and I think he has been the biggest blessing in mine and Lance's life! He is a joy and is full of love. He has a great personality as well. He also adores his little sister and refers to her as "my baby sister." I feel it a privilege to be Jaxon's mother and feel like he was definitley supposed to be in my life. The best suprise I ever got!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY LITLE MAN

Busy as a bee

So I have failed on the blogging front! I don't even know if anyone reads my blog, but I decided i would update everyone on life. This time of year is my favorite minus the cold. I love to watch the snow, but driving and being basically anywhere near it makes me dislike it. Maybe if i took up skiing it would not be so bad. This is the end of my third week off of school. It has been a nice break. I just wish Lance could have had more days off, I really NEVER see him. It is sad:( That is the way we survive right now though, it's kind of hard with kids and everything else we do. So I don't know if I have mentioned this but I am doing the Clinical Laboratory Science program at Weber State University. I have loved it so far. As of right now I hope to do the accelerated program and graduate next year with my bachelors degree. After I get my degree I plan on working at a hospital lab somewhere while Lance goes to school. Whenever he is done I really want to go to PA school, but we will see what the future holds. I have always wanted a career and I am thankful that I have the opportunity to go to school.
So Lance is still serving at Goodwood and it has been a good steady job for him. It gets us what we need in life right now and we could not be more blessed. My babies are growing like weeds!!! Jaxon is almost FOUR and Kyleigh is two and half. Wow how time flies. They are my joy in life and I am so lucky to have them. They are just GREAT kids. They love each other so much and I love seeing them grow up together.
Christmas was SO much fun. Jaxon and Kyleigh are getting to the fun age! They actually were getting excited about everything. We had the elves watch them throughout December and report back to Santa Claus. I don't know how they got him fooled this year!! Those elves must have not been watching close. Just kidding, they were good! Well this next semester I am taking 18 credit hours, so I don't know how much I will be blogging. I will try to keep up on everything, but usually after 8pm it is homework time for mom!! If I start blogging and stuff I can't seem to stop myself and then it ends up badly. I do read all of my friends blogs out there though!! I know what you are doing in life, so I decided I would try to update you all. Well I don't know if anyone even knows that we exist anymore but I thought I would just blog to make me feel better.

A quick picture update

So I have been an awful blogger!!! I have been busy. I just wanted to quickly post some pictures from the beginning of my summer. These are pictures from Kyleigh's birthday party and my little sister Suzie's graduation from High School. Yay!! I will post more of an update later. Also stay tuned for pictures from the Virgin Islands.

Our trip to the Zoo

The past two days Lance did not have to work, wow that rarely happens two days in a row. We took advantage of it though, because I start summer school next week. Tuesday we went and saw Wolverine and Wednesday we went to the Zoo. It was a perfect day for the Zoo, the animals were still a little lively. Jaxon just wanted to see Lion Kings the whole time. Kyleigh just trailed behind him.

This is Jaxon growling

It's a great house, once you get over all of the problems. This week our bathroom outlets do not work:) Oh what an adventure. I have not put up any decorations, but that might be this week's project before summer school starts. Well that is my house, hope to have a big party one of these days.
