5 Days and Counting

Only 5 days left until we have our baby. We are getting so excited. Especially me since it is now 100+ everyday. Not to fun to be pregnant and baking in the Las Vegas heat. So the day can't come soon enough for me. Although it really hasn't been half as bad as I had expected. Our doctor has us scheduled to get induced on July 2. I can't believe that this is our 3rd time through all this. It brings back so many memories of when we did this with Mason and Kinley. And every time it is just as exciting and amazing.

We have been busy getting things ready the last month. It finally hit me that I was running out of time and had better get going on some of those last minute projects that had been adding up. So I got out the sewing machine and started tackling them all. I was able to make some really cute burp cloths, blankets and changing pads. They all turned out really cute and I had so much fun. I am glad to say that I have been able to get everything on the list done. Thank goodness she didn't come early I have needed everyday to get things accomplished. But I can now say we are completely ready. What a great feeling. Now we can just sit back and enjoy our time until things get fun and crazy around here!!!

Fun on the Strip

I am really behind on blogging! So my goal is to get caught up before we have our baby. Since I know free time will be hard to find soon. A couple weeks ago Chris's sister Sarah and her husband and little boy came to see us. One day while they were here we decided to go down on the strip and walk around. This is something that I think we can count on one hand we have done since we have moved here. I think the only time that we go down there is when we have family in town. When we go down there it feels like a whole other world. It's almost like we are on a vacation ourselves. But we had a good time. It was nice because it wasn't to hot and the kids had a good time. Here are some fun pics of our trip. For some reason Mason is not in many of these pictures. I think he was sitting in the stroller and not in the mood for pictures. Oh well.

Starving Little Girl!!!

The other night I guess I started dinner just a little to late for Kinley. By the time I had things ready and was putting it in the oven she just started crying when I told her that we had to cook it. So this is how she spent the next 25 mins. I felt bad, but it was so cute I couldn't help but laugh. Oh and don't mind the Utah State jersey she is sporting. She absolutely loves it. This was one of Mason's first USU jerseys that we bought him and he found it and lovingly passed it down to Kinley. I have to hide it from her or she would try and wear it everyday. She runs around yelling football. It is so cute. So far she is following in her brothers footsteps and loves everything about sports. I think mostly because she wants to be big and do everything like him. She is so cute and we love having her in our family!!!!!

Fathers and Sons Campout

This last weekend was our ward fathers and sons camp out. Mason has been so excited he could hardly stand himself. He has been counting down for weeks waiting for this weekend to come. He and Chris have talked about it every night when we tuck him into bed. So he was so happy when it was finally time to get things packed up and leave the girls behind. He was so cute and helped me make a list of the things that he thought he might need up at camp. Then when I asked him what kind of snacks he thought he wanted to take camping he thought for a couple minutes and told me Jerky and Tootsie Rolls. I then asked him about drinks and something a little more healthy and he told me "no we don't need anything else Mom just Jerky and Tootsie rolls and we will be just right". They had such a great time. I think he smiled from the minute they backed out of the driveway until they came home. When he got home he told me all about the sticks and rocks that he had found while he was up there. When they got up there they set up the tent and then were hanging out around the campfire and Mason kept telling Chris come on Dad lets just go back to our tent and eat our snacks. I think all he did from the time they got there until they came home is eat jerky. Oh well I guess that is what,s fun about camping is eating whatever you want. Mason had so much fun and hasn't stopped talking about their trip. I sent the camera with Chris and lectured him forever about getting some good pictures and he did a great job. Here are some cute pics of their trip.

Bikes and Water at the Park

The kids and I went to one of our favorite parks to play the other day. Mason's new thing is taking his bike with us to the park. So we took the bikes and suits and the kids rode their bikes and then when they got hot they would ride or run through the water. We have loved the water toys that they have at some of the parks. It makes the heat seem so much more bearable. Mason was a daredevil riding his bike through some of the big sprays. It was so much fun to watch the kids run around and have fun instead of being trapped inside on a hot day.

Pajama Day at School

The other day Mason had Pajama Day at school. At first he was really confused about the whole thing. He is very particular about what he wears to preschool and he has certain clothes that he has deemed school clothes. Which he did all on his own. So he will only wear certain outfits. Which at first was really hard when his school wardrobe consisted of one shirt that he considered his school shirt. He at first insisted on wearing that one shirt every Tues. and Thurs. to school . I am sure his teacher was feeling bad for the kid who only had one shirt to wear. So after doing laundry every couple days I gave up and bought a couple more shirts that he would consider school shirts. So you can guess how hard it was at first for us to explain that this one day he could wear his pajamas. After a lot of convincing and him telling me numerous times that we only wear pajamas at night. He finally agreed. And once he was on board about the whole thing he was really excited. It was so fun to see him get so excited about something so little. When he got home he said his favorite part of school is when all of the kids got into a line and then each one got to step out and show off their cool pajamas. He is so funny. So it turned out to be a good p.j. day at school.

Picnic at the Park

The other day I decided to take the kids to the park and pack a picnic for the afternoon. Mason was so excited he could hardly stand it. We had so much fun. Mason kept telling me how happy he was that we got to go and have a picnic and that it was the greatest day ever. Kinley loved going down the slides and she just made laps going down the slides and then would run back around to the stairs and do it all over again. She made me dizzy just watching her. Both Kinley and Mason love being outside. I think they both could have stayed there all day long. We are so lucky to have so many fun parks all around us to go play at. That is one thing we have found is that around every corner it seems there are a ton of really neat parks here in Vegas.
