Fun things we've been up to

My herb garden (inside)

This is my parsley and Basil

this is my garlic and cilantro.
I have yellow onions growing outside and they are doing really well so far. I was worried about them for the first week, but they seem to be doing really well! (:
We have planted squash, cucumbers, bell peppers (not doing so well), tomatoes, corn, broccoli, cauliflower and peas outside as well and they seem to be doing just fine, I'll post pictures when they are doing a little better... We just transplanted most of them outside and they look a little weak, so fingers crossed!

A few days ago I blew up a pool for the kids and they enjoyed throwing things in the water and giving the dogs a bath in it (YUCK).

Here is Kodi and BO playing outside

Rylee being grumpy cause her fruit loops spilt and I told her she couldn't have anymore! (I'm mean... I know!)

Kodi attempting to enjoy the pool! (:

We are having....

I went to my ultrasound yesterday with my sister Jana and friend Heidi to find out what we are having and to see how everything is going. Everything is going really well and it looks like we will have this baby the 21st of August (if all goes well)! Everything so far is going wonderfully and the baby is active and healthy!

It's a GIRL! (:
We were really hoping for another boy for BO so he's not out numbered, but we are totally thrilled to have a third girl added to our family!

Pregnant pictures....

This is me pregnant with baby#3 in 2007 at 30 weeks along.
Now, this is me pregnant now with baby #4 at 20 weeks along. I tell people I feel HUGE, cause I'm not used to really showing until about 25-30 weeks. I even started out less weight with this one than my last one... I guess with every pregnancy I'm going to get bigger and BIGGER sooner, YIKES!!!

Time to Celebrate!!!!!!!!

No more
Because Kodi's Potty Trained!!!!
I totally hope I didn't jinx myself by posting it.... But with strep throat and chicken pox, Kodi hasn't had a single accident all week, that means no pull ups either! Yeah!!!!! Sorry to celebrate so big here, but this is the first time in over 5 whole years that I haven't had a baby/toddler in diapers! That gives me 4 months break with NO diapers, pull ups or having to put a kid on the toilet every 30 minutes to and hour.... What a relief! (:
Way to go Kodi!!!!!!!!!!!!

For Owen (sorry a little personal)

I thought I would say a few things about the man I married. I get pulled aside by people in our ward, neighbors and people I've never even met before, letting me know what a wonderful man I've married. I really don't need to be told since I've known it from day one. He is the most selfless man, father and husband and I am so blessed to have him in my life. He is gone on most Saturdays, helping those that need the help and he goes the extra mile to share his knowledge with those around him. Weather it be for his knowledge of flying or construction, he does his best. He goes the extra mile as a home teacher, family member and friend. I'm sure everyone that knows him would agree! We may not have it all or make a lot of money, but he tries his hardest to make it so we are happy and comfortable. Honey, I love you and am so grateful that you chose to be my husband and the father of our children, I love you!

Sick O's

So not only do all three of the kids have strep throat, Kodi officially has the chicken pox! She has a fever that I can't get to go down for more then an hour and cold baths aren't her favorite thing in the whole world! She looks so miserable, poor thing! It's half my fault that she isn't doing so well. The talk that was given Sunday during general conference(I can't remember who gave it), he mentioned that at one point, mom's have to do something to harm their children.... Well, the 5 immunizations that Kodi got yesterday sure mounted up to that. She did really well. She only got upset after the third shot was coming! She stopped crying once we told her that that was the last one and started getting her dressed again! She got 5 stickers for the 5 shots. Rylee was crying right along with Kodi the whole time telling the doctor to stop hurting her sister! I'm pretty sure the chicken pox came out due to the vaccine she received yesterday and not because of the other two having them two weeks ago. I still feel so bad since she looks so miserable... It's making me want to hold her and love on her and not do a thing all day!!! ):

Our week in SLC and Easter...

We headed up on Sunday morning at 7AM when Owen got off work. We were trying to make it to my twin brothers setting apart at 2PM. They turned 12 on the 17th of March. We ended up missing it! ): We got two blow outs on our trailer that we had with us. We were all alright, but we felt really bad that we missed the whole reason we headed up early, by just about 2 hours!

Children's Discovery museum
Rylee didn't go with us, she wanted to stay with her cousin Alora. BO and Kodi on the other hand, had a fun time!
This was in the first part of the museum. They have balls and tubes everywhere. Some sucked the balls threw the tubs and others the balls would roll threw the network of tubes. Kodi and BO Loved this part. (:


The second half of the museum was a LARGE play area with just about anything a kid could want to play with in it.

This was me trying to get Owens attention so he could bring the camera over.
This was upstairs and outside. I think this was one of BO and Kodi's favorite parts. They really enjoy helicopters. BO kept yelling at and pulling on the kid that was "flying" it, because he wanted a turn. You would have thought he was going to die if he didn't get to fly!

Kodi also enjoyed playing with all the random toys they had all over upstairs.

Traditional Egg coloring...
We had to strip them all down and put on old T shirts so if they spilled, it wasn't a big deal! (:
The finished products!

Easter Egg hunt at the farm...


BO and Haydon playing ping-pong with each other. They were so stinken C-U-T-E!
The whole reason we headed to to SLC was to see Owen's brother Luke and his family. He haven't seen them in a while and they were coming into town for a few days. He is going to Iraq in I think June, so this was the only time we were going to be able to see he and his family for awhile. It was so much fun seeing everyone, we miss them all and had so much fun visiting and doing things together!
We headed home Saturday morning with no more flat tires or blow outs. Owen swears it's because I was driving that we didn't have any problems. (because the two blow outs happened the whole 20 minutes he drove. lol)
Easter Morning at home again!
Owen messing with Kodi bugs...

The kids ended up not feeling very well all day, but they still managed to have fun. We watched General Conference, then had a big dinner with a friend from our ward. Hope everyone else had a safe and happy Easter!
