OOPS!
Well we had a big fat oops occur in our family. I couldn't figure out why I had been having so many hot flashes and had been so sick. Then I thought maybe I'm pregnant, no that couldn't be. Savannah and Breckin were not the easiest to come by so I knew that couldn't be the case. Well congrats to me and my family we are having another baby! Ahhhh! (And yes I blame two people for this.. Elizabeth, because every time she gets pregnant I am not too far after and Jeremy because the guy is always to blame right?) We thought we were done having our own children but I guess our prayers about fostering kids came with a powerful answer of no, don't do it! I guess Heavenly Father knew how stubborn I am and knew the only way that I wouldn't do something is if I had another child of my own. I can honestly say I don't ever want a direct answer to my prayers again:) No, joking aside we are excited, a little shocked but excited. We know this baby is a blessing and was meant to join our family. Although finding out a few weeks earlier before I got rid of baby swings, etc would have been helpful, but hey at least I get to get a few new things. I just want to thank Jeremy for all the help he is when I don't feel good and my mom. She has run to get me random things to eat so many times already. They both are so awesome! I am due on March 12th although that is not too accurate, but they never come on your due date anyways right?

Savannah had a movie night with some of her cousins, I had this cute packet I used from http://preparednotscared.blogspot.com/2010/02/family-activity-family-night-at-movies.html
It has pretend tickets for popcorn, treats, drinks, etc. I set up a "concession stand and ticket booth". The kids loved it but of course lost focus after about 45 minutes and started playing with toys. I think it would be perfect as just a family thing or at least wait until they are about seven years old to do as a friend party (unless your kids have great attention span, it could have been the movie I chose too). Savannah had been dying to do a movie night with her friends (cousins) so I thought we would give it a try. They loved that they had their own tickets for everything. I didn't get the greatest pics but here are a few from the night.

Father's Day
I took a few new pictures of the kids for Jeremy's Father's Day gift which I have yet to finish because we keep going out of town. Don't worry he got other things for Fathers Day just not this one thing. I didn't get to post anything about Father's Day on our blog so I will do it now. (Better late than never right?)
I have to say how wonderful of a father Jeremy is, he is so awesome with the kids. He loves to spend as much time with them as possible. If he is not with us he is at work. He works very hard to provide for us and we appreciate him so much. Sometimes he will come home for lunch and the kids hate it when he has to go back. Thank you Jeremy for being so awesome! We love you! Here are some of the pics I got and a few pics of Father's Day.

Savannah picked out a fishing pole for
Jeremy because she loves to fish, nothing selfish about that.
We made a picnic basket with his favorite Oreo's
and ciabatta sandwiches with Dad's brand root beer
and a card with little candies and quotes. Unfortunately we didn't get to go
on a picnic because it rained:(
Breckin's a movin'
Watch out! Here comes Breckin. I had forgot to post when Breckin started crawling. How could I forget something so important right? Probably because I was busy packing for the Lagoon trip. He started crawling just a couple days after he turned eight months. He has a cute little crawl, he likes to keep his right leg out. He now has started to stand up holding up to things. He is growing up so fast! We love our little man!
Camping in the Manti La Sal National Forest
So we went on another camping trip, this time up in the mountains with the Hepworth's. We went up last Monday was having ourselves a good time and then the next afternoon we got hailed on, and it didn't stop. It rained and hailed and rained and hailed some more. It was so much water we couldn't have got down the mountain if we had wanted to so we stayed in the trailer and watched movie after movie. Friday morning the sun had come out but it was so muddy we decided to leave. We learned a lot this trip, for one we need a bigger trailer, two Breckin does not like anything but his own bed and three make sure all of your stuff is easy to put away for when a storm blows in. Here are a few pics of our trip.

mountain when it was raining.

Lagoon
I have lived in Utah for almost ten years and had never been to Lagoon so we decided to take the family and go for the weekend. They have a nice campground at the park so we took our camper. The Hepworth's, Knapp's, Wheeler's, Chris and Cinnamon and us all went. We had a good time and all the kids came home with a bunch of "cheap" toys (not cheap as in money). Every time we passed another game where you could win something Savannah somehow succored Jeremy into playing it. We had a good time and I would recommend to anyone that is going to Lagoon to stay at the campground, it was well kept and it was pretty much free because you got discounted tickets.

Muffin where might you be?
This morning for breakfast Savannah and I had left over muffins. There were three left so I gave her one and me two, I'm bigger right? I brought them upstairs (shh.. don't let Jeremy know) because I had stuff to do upstairs and I ate my two and gave Savannah hers. About twenty minutes goes by and she came in and asked me where her muffin was, I told her I didn't know to go look for it. She then convinced me that she could not find it and that I should look for it so I searched everywhere upstairs and could not find this dumb muffin. So then she was very upset that we could not find it and started accusing me of eating it. She told me "Mom you ate three muffins", "Fine I guess I won't eat my cupcake", "Why did you eat my muffin", etc... So after getting sick of being blamed I went again on a search for this lost muffin. I finally found it by her toys in the loft. She must have been looking for a toy and sat it down, she loves her toys so much she lost track of her breakfast. Whew... I'm just glad that I didn't really eat her muffin I would be in big trouble!
