What a Stud!!!

Today at my mom's while I was catching up on blogs, since our computer is completely dead now, my sweet little Bryant boy came up to me wearing these stylish sunglasses. Isn't he just adorable? Ok well maybe I'm the only one that will think so but I'm aloud to cause he's my boy!!! Now I need to change his diaper cause while he might be cute he sure can reek a stench!!!

Here's for you Jennie

Here I am almost 23 weeks pregnant, and very large!!!
Not really liking the camera's these days. I feel like a blimp a lot these days and it can get pretty depressing! But I had a request for pregnancy pictures so here they are.

Camping

This past week we spent some time as a family in the great outdoors. Corey had a week off for some much needed vacation so we took advantage of that and headed up north for some fun camping. The boys had an absolute blast!! We borrowed one of my dad's quads and went for lots of rides as a family. I know your not supposed to have more than one person on the quad at a time but we couldn't help but go as a family. It rained quite a bit the first night we were there and a little the second day. That wasn't much fun because a lot of our stuff in the tent got pretty wet. We were able to dry it off by the camp fire though. The last day we were camping we went crawdad fishing and the boys thought that was so much fun. Dallin was even brave enough to hold the things. He would pick them up and show them to me. I had a great time watching my boys enjoy camping and seeing them be boys. The only thing I would have changed if I could was my overactive bladder from being pregnant, oh and the air mattress that had a horrible leak in it. But all in all it was a ton of fun!!!!

The Boys checking out the river, too cute!!

More cuteness!!

When you pick up a crawdad it opens up its claws really far and I told Dallin that was how it says hi so he would go up to them and crouch down and open his arms really far.

I tried to capture the "hello" of the crawdad also.

Here's Dallin holding a crawdad

The boys

Then we headed up to Corey's parents for the rest of the weekend where all his aunts and uncles were going to be. They had a very special event this past weekend of reburying one of Corey's uncles that pasted away at the tiny age of 13 months. After the ceremony they got together to talk about this precious child and it was so sweet to see them all talk about him and hear was a special spirit he was. I absolutely love Corey's grandpa and what an amazing man he is!!!

Here is Dallin and Grandpa Whiting going for a ride in the ?? I'm not sure what you call it but it brought the dirt over to fill the grave.

Scorpians

Us Arizonians know that it is not an uncommon thing to see these creepy, unpleasant little things roaming around the desert and more uncomfortably our homes. Well I have a story to top all others about the nice little run ins with these freaky bugs.

While playing at my parents house a couple weeks ago my crazy boys were outside playing with the hose. I went outside to check on them and told them they needed to watch out because there are "bad bugs" in other words scorpions and spiders, that could sting them and it would really hurt. Then I look down and Dallin is standing about 3 inches away from a little scorpion. I showed them the scorpion and made a big deal about how bad it was, put them in the house and then killed the stink'n bug. Well a couple days later we were back at my parents house, again playing outside, WITH the hose and I reminded the boys of the "bad bugs" and this time I stayed outside with them to keep an eye on things. I told Bryant, who was holding the hose at the time, that he really needed to be careful and so he comes over to me and turns around and starts spraying off the back porch, and when I look at him, he had a scorpion right in the middle of his neck just below his hair line. I FREAKED and took the hose from him sprayed off the scorpion and then stepped on it and ran the boys in the house a little shaken up. My mom was a bit upset about this too and decided that the house really needed to get sprayed and bad!!! So then about a week later Bryant was playing in the toy chest and he picks up a hat and puts it on and I was watching him and I saw something crawling in it so I go over to see if I really saw something crawling or if it was my imagination and it wasn't. Just as I got over there a scorpion falls out of the hat my son had just had on his head. Ok so the next day Corey was home he was at my parents spraying for bugs! And we haven't seen any since!!

(My parents have been cutting down a tree in their backyard, getting ready for some additions to their house, that is why there have been so many scorpion sightings.)

Where the doggy go???

My boys favorite thing to do these days is pile blankets on top of whom ever is near by. Tonight it was poor Becky. They were so cute laughing so hard. I kept hearing them say "where the doggy go?" and I turned around to see Becky piled high with blankets. Poor dog. She looked so pathetic. But she did take it pretty well, just letting them do to her what they pleased. I asked "where DID the dog go?" and Bryant says "There is, there is", pointing to her and Dallin says, "no more doggy all gone". It was so stink'n cute. She is such a good dog!!

Thanks Becky for entertaining my boys!!!

My Brother Eric...

I love this dude!!

So his fiance and him have started a blog, well really she has since it kinda is a girl thing. But she like some of us women has been asking my lovely brother to post something on their blog. I think he avoided it for a while insisting that it was a girls world and that men had no business in it really. But alas he found something that he could blog about and so he finally wrote on the blog. As I was reading the post I couldn't help but laugh at him. This was the intro to his post...

Is blogging a woman's sport? In its astoundingly quick rise to popularity among the estrogen-clad members of our species, has it become to them what videogames have been to men since their inception in the 70's?
As a man, writing for the first time on our blog, I would like to say, yes. Yes it is. It is precisely the aforementioned thing. Women excel in this field. Men struggle. I tip my hat to you, ovary-wielding queens of cyberspace journaling.

He is in my opinion a pretty funny kid!! The rest of the post was ok, There were parts that were funny and it might just be worth checking out if you so chose. For those of you that love Eric you might enjoy this!

Pregnancy Update...

So today I had an appointment to meet with a dietitian to go over my lack of weight gain during this pregnancy. It was pretty funny to me. About a month ago I went into a WIC office to get some assistance and that's when I found out I had only gained 1 lb since getting pregnant. They were a little concerned that I hadn't gained enough and made the appointment for today. I wasn't to worried and kinda excited because I'm not the skinniest person ever and I liked not gaining a lot of weight. Plus I know its just a matter of time before I start really gaining it fast. So today I went in for my appointment and turns out I've only gained a total of 4lbs. So they told me that I need to be snacking more during the day. It's nice to hear that!! I'm still not to worried, I will be gaining weight soon enough and I'm not going to go crazy eating now cause I'll just be paying for it later when I don't have an excuse to gain weight. I think that my lack of weight gain is mostly due to my 2 little rug rats that keep me plenty busy!! I never had to be on the go so much with my other 2 pregnancies and I wasn't underweight to begin with so It's nothing to worry about.
