SO CLOSE!!!

So I got a text from Mindy this morning saying that her contractions are 30 minutes apart so I am just so excited!! It might be awhile but he's coming!!!

All these babies coming!!!

So all these babies have started to make their appearance into the world in the past month or so!! My friend Jenn's little bro, Jordan and his wife Emilee had theirs right before fathers day, they had a little girl named Mylee, she is so cute and tiny she was 6 lbs and 11 oz. And then this past weekend I think the 22nd or 23rd, my friend Mandee had her baby boy named Elijah, she had to have a c section after being induced, she was 4 days overdue, and I would of expected him to be bigger but he weighed the same has Mylee at 6 lbs 11 oz. Also another friend done the line had her little boy on the 16th. But the frustrating thing about all these babies coming is that the ONE baby I want to come is all comfy in his mama's belly and is just hanging out. My sister in law Mindy is almost 39 weeks and is due next friday but I really want him out ASAP because I start my new job at IHC on monday (More about that later) and I am a selfish aunt and want to at least be there when she has him!! She goes in tomorrow to get checked so I am crossing my fingers!!! All these babies are making me a little baby hungry again!! (yes Tara, you heard me right!!) But I want to lose weight before I even think about it again!! It was kinda freaky though cause Kev and I both had a dream last night that we had twins! SCARY!! Ok about the job, those of you who know me well know that I have been home with my Halle bug for the last three months after the research company I worked for closed. I have been looking around and wanted s good fit, I love research and I didn't want to get into a job with weird hours or too much of a workload. I interviewed at IHC about 2 weeks ago and I GOT IT!! I actually had gotten another offer also from another place that I really wasn't excited about, so when the offer came in I was jumpin outta my pants!! It's a great position and great benefits and pay so I start Mondayfor orientation then go to LDS Hospital on Tuesday to start. I had a second interview with the girls that I would be working with and we got along so well it made me wnat the job even more. But it is a good week to start causr I have a short work week due to the fourth of July!! A littl epity me story though. I had to go in and do all my employment paperwork today and I had to pee in a cup, get blood drawn, get a tetnus shot, and a TB injection, all in one arm!! So I am super sad and excited at the smae time, I have loved so much being home with Halle everyday, she is such a ball of energy and she makes me laugh all day long. It's going to be an emotional day on monday :( But hopefully Kevin gets his Hydrogen Cell business up and going and I can stay home in the near future again. I love working but I am just dreading monday!! Also I just had to post this picture of Conner that Tara sent me a little while ago. I laugh everytime I look at it!!

I am EXHAUSTED!!

My Sweet little innocent, well behaved princess (HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!) I am one tired mama! My heart and amazement goes out to all those mom's who have more than one child to deal with! How in the heck do you do it??!!! I have been stuck at home without w car for the past two days and I don't know if Halle is teething or just going througha phase but heaven almighty she has been the queen of tantrums, Now I totally understand and sympathize with her because I can not even imagine how it would be not to tall your mommy what was wrong with you but no matter what I do or say the past two days she gets soooo mad at me!! Yesterday was something else, I would try everything int he book to see what she wanted or if something hurt etc. but by the end of the day and about 10 small tantrums later and 5 major tantrums, I finally gave up and just put her to bed. SHe normally goes to bed at 7 and wakes up around 830. And she went right to sleep at seven ( I am sure all that adorable crying wore her out!!) she woke up an hour later just crying and I rocked her and snuggled her and she was lot better and slept until 9 this morning. Well I woke up this morning thinking that it was going to be different today, but so far it's been an uphill battle with my princess!! She was supposed to takw her nap and she totally refused and would not stop crying. So I took her out of her crib, gave her a bath (that usually calms her) and fed her a bottle. She played for awhile then I got up to look at my phone and here came the tantrum again!! So now she is in her room, she cried for all of a minute and totally zonked out!! Phew!! Being a mom is tough!!!

My big girl!!

So I totally forgot to post about Halle's 12 month well child check, she si getting so big!! She weighs 22 lbs, 31 1/2 inches long, her weight is in the 70th percentile and her height is in the 75th!! And of course her head is in the 80th percentile!! (But if you saw her daddy's head it would all make sense LOL) The dr is very impressed with her language and reconigtion skills. She says a ton of words already and she points to things and calls them by name. The doctor said that she normally expects 10 wprds by 18 months but she thinks Halle will be around 20 words, Ok I am done being the doting mama!! Have a great day!

Happy Dad's Day Babe!!

I just wanted my husband to know how grateful I am for him and how great of a daddy he is to our little bug!! He is always willing to drop everything to make sure that Halle is happy and he is so cute with her when they play. They are little clones of each other and I don't just mean lookswise, they have alot of the smae faces they make and just the outgoing personality is so friggin cute!! I love you babe, thanks so much for being such a great dad!!

We LOVE Swimming!!!!

So we are so lucky to have pools all around us! We have one at our apartment, my grandpa has one in his backyard, and there is one in my mother in laws neighborhood. SO far we haev only gone to our apartment one but we have a wjole summer of swimming ahead of us! Halle got a ton of stuff to go swimmming with for her birthday, some cute swimsuits, waterwings, toys, and a littel blow up jetski!! We went swimming for the first time last week and have been two more times since then!! Baby Girl LOVES the water!! SHe kicks and splashes and just loves flosting in her water ski. We have gone wiith Mindy and Jadyn twice and Kev came with us today, You'll love the pic of Mindy, she is like 37 weeks preganant and ready to pop!! Well I hope you like the pics!!

A day with the Boys!!

So we made the hike up to Roy to visit aunt Tara and the boys!! Halle was so tired by the end but she had so much fun!! I still can not believe that Carson is 4 months younger than her! He is the same size if not bigger!! Well we had a lot of fun and here is some pics, of Halle and Carson, and a Couple of Jackson, Conner was sleepin so I didn't get any of him. Enjoy!!

Halle's 1st Birthday!!

Halle's FIRST Birthday!!!

So our little girl is officially ONE!!! I can not believe how fast the year went by!! We have such an amazing little girl that is so smart and has stolen my heart!! I can't believe that a year ago she was just a 6 pound little bitty baby!! And the fact that she is just as stubborn today as the day she was born, she had it dead set that she was coming a month early and that's exactly what she did!!

She has learned so much and she is such a ham for atttention!! She loved her birthday party and just loved the attention she got and plus she got so many awesome presents!! But it cracked me up cause after she got all her presents and we werer cleaning up she decided to play with her diaper bag!! Such a dork!! Well it's supa late so I will post some pics tomorrow! I will put up one rightnow!! I just want to thank everyone who came and was wit hus on her special day!!

GoodNight!!

Trying something new!!

So my sister's baby shower was yesterday!! It was so cute!! MaryAnn did such an awesome job planning it and getting it out together! And I know Mindy got so much! DeMarion has a bigger wardrobe than anyone I know and he isn't even born yet!! MaryAnn set up a scrapbook table where we could make her pages that she could just stick pictures on, and it was a sports theme and had so many cute different ideas and things set up!!

I decided that I would give making a diaper cake a try! I had seen them done before and I thought they were so cute but way too expensive. So my mom and I went and bought all the stuff and I put it together. I had so much fun making it that I am thinking about making them and selling them!! I will post a couple pics! Tell me what you think :)

Halle's first birthday is this week and I can not believe I am going to have a one year old!! So FUN!!! I think that Kev and I will take her swimming that day and we are having friends and family over that night for cake and ice cream.

I took Halle swimming today with Jadyn and Mindy, First off Mindy looked so flippin cute with her so cute prego belly hangin out!! And Jadyn is just so cute with Halle! Halle loved when Jadyn would take her around the pool, I just held under her belly and Halle kicked and swung her arms!! She loves water, she is my little fish!! JUST LIKE ME!!!! Well we got home and I fed her and put her down for a napm but when she woke up she was a little warm and didn't want anyone but me. We went to Christie's for dinner and she threw up while we were there and just seemed to get hotter and hotter. So I made Kev run by the store and get some motrin. I gave her some and took her temp and it was 102.7 which freaked me out!!! SO I put shorts and s tank top on and put her to bed, but right now I am listening to the monitor and every little noise she makes I am running in there. Jadyn had febrile seizures when she was a baby so I am very scared and paranoid when she gets a temp.

Well I better go fold laundry!!!!
