So I'm driving down the road...

and this is how our conversation went...


Kael: Hey mom look at the big tractor pulling that plow
Me:   That farmer isn't plowing he's cutting hay 
Kael: Well why is he doing that for?
Me:   He probably has some cows that want to eat his hay.
Kael: Mom that's silly horsies eat hay now cows.
Me:   Well then what are cows supposed to eat?
Kael: They eat SNOW! 


I guess until winter all the cows are starving!

A Horse or an Elephant...

 
As I'm driving to church yesterday, Kael was observing the world outside of the car, chatting my ear off as usual. This is how part of our conversation went...

Kael: I see those animals far away over there. (looking through a large field out the window)
Me: Oh really what kind of animals are they?
Kael: hmmm (thinking about it for a second)...well I think they are horses and not elephants! Can we go to the zoo?

Silly kid!

This will come as no surprise for those that know me well...

I started working on Christmas gifts today which then requires me to listen to Christmas music as I'm doing it! It makes the gift that much better right? I have to be super prepared this year all gifts bought and wrapped by Halloween so it's all done and I don't have to worry about doing it when baby comes. So now is as good time to start as any I figure! I ♥ Christmas in July! Also a quilt for Baby Girl, hopefully it turns out as cute as the one I'm copying! I'm off to keep working... Have a Fabulous day.

Just to tease you here's a sneek peak at the Christmas gift to bad I won't tell you what it is!!!
What do you think of this? I want more just yellow and brown for her nursery but thought the colors in this would compliment Yellow and Brown. Am I off base?

Oh and P.S. there are 162 days until Christmas just in case you were wondering!

What we've been up to...

As usual we're long overdue for an update but didn't want to disappoint you all by suddenly changing and doing more regularly you might miss a post since I'm sure if anyone even reads this anymore you only check it every few weeks anyway!!

Not a whole lot going on in our house lately. Camping was a blast this year. The boys had so much fun playing as much as they wanted in the dirt, and eating way to many snacks. The weather was perfect. My only complaint is the Jonny had to work the whole time so he was hardly there. I mean that literally! Oh well what's a girl to do?...

Baby Girl is now around 3/4 of a pound although she was measuring a little bigger than average at my last ultrasound so maybe she's bigger that. And she's the length of a carrot! or about 10.5 inches long. I won't be surprised at all if she's ends up being a little butter ball since both of the boys were about 10 lb. but lets all pray she's not quite that big! Although I'd rather have big than to small right!? I've finally started feeling her move around, my placenta is anterior meaning it's attached closer to my belly than back making it harder to feel movements earlier on. DARN... good thing I found that out I was having major stresses over it! All in all I feel pretty good most days now so really no complaints at all! I know I shouldn't wish time away but secretly I can't wait until THANKSGIVING! 

The boys are having a fun summer they always want to be outside and I feel bad but some days it's just to darn hot for me so they usually get to play outside when Jonny can be home with them. So nigh time is the time to play outside with them! Kaelly Welly Bug is such a crack up... he's IN LOVE with Toy Story right now. We took the boys to see the third one over 4th of July weekend and he was so funny watching the movie. He talked the whole way through it. Jonny made the mistake of asking him in the car one day if we should name Baby Sister, Emarie or Oakley (the two names we've narrowed down to)? He thought for a minute and than said that we should name Sister.. Okawey (translation if you didn't get it Oakley) and he did not like Emarie. So I'm thinking we have a name picked but not for sure. I'll let you know when we officially pick it! So far he's stuck with his opinion and it's not changed! Brady is a much of a spit fire as ever...wonder who he got that from? He's starting to talk alot and is a little copycat. He's pretty content to follow Kael around and do what he's doing! Still as social as ever. While we were up visiting family for the 4th we went to a big huge fireworks celebration and he said Hi to just about everyone that walked by! The boys have a new friend who they like to play with. We'll just call him little G. He came over to play "Potato" as Kael calls it hope you enjoy some pictures! 



 

 




I adore the smell of Playdough but Brady tested it and thinks it tastes BAD! 

Pretty much how every picture of Kael is I guess it's an age thing or maybe a boy thing?! 
Now check out this heartbreaker...think his mom would let me claim him for Baby Girl? Girls are going to fall hard for this kid, I mean who wouldn't with eyes like those!!!  I tried so hard to get him to smile for the camera but he just wouldn't. maybe next time.

Well hope that will do for now! Have a wonderful day!

Am I easily guided?

It's sunday and I'm home today with my monkey. He was up alot last night coughing and I was up alot last night with him, and then I couldn't sleep. Part of my choice to stay home was out of laziness because I am TIRED. I hate to admit that and I feel kind of guilty for it. I decided to spend my three hour block trying to do more uplifting things instead of hopping on FB or watching something pointless I logged on to the Mormon Messages page on You Tube to see what their lastest videos were. There were several I'd not seen and loved them all but I watched one that was for the Youth of my church but instantly felt my Heavenly Fathers spirit as I watched it. It's about a girl who's the world champion for horse training and she talks about how if she keeps her eye on the marker that she needs to get to she and her horse eventually get there. She talks about finding horses who are easily guided, ones who listen to her and obey her without resistance. She talked about a time recently when she kind of plateued and had to go back to the basics of horse training even though she already knew them. She compared this to the gospel. Instantly it hit me this is what I so needed to hear today. I need to get back to the basics, praying morning and night, reading my scriptures, etc... Does my Heavenly Father feel that I am easily guided by him? So I'm off to put on some of my favorite music and find my scriptures. I off to get lost in them once again! I wanted to share two messages that touched my soul this morning I hope you enjoy them.  Have a beautiful Sabbath... until next time.



p.s I couldn't get the videos to embed properly Blogger is being weird so just click on the links. I PROMISE YOU WON'T REGRET IT! DO IT NOW!
