The Muir The Merrier

Oh the many many times I have sat down to update this blog and the many many times I have failed to complete it! There is so much I have missed blogging about but will just post pictures of our recent happenings. We have been extrememly busy over our way.

-Jonny is working LOTS and LOTS and we miss him when he is gone so much but we are headed in a good direction so feel like for the time being it's a good thing. Although after Miss Sister gets here in a few weeks I will need him to scale back a little bit! He decided that he wants to get his graduate degrees and so we decided to once again make a career move. He has taken the Account Manager position for an Electrical Distributing company here in town, but the good thing is if we ever decide to leave the area it's a nation wide company so we might possibly be able to transfer. He is enjoying his Stake Young Mens calling alot and has had fun planning activites and teaching Missionary prep. He's such a great example to me, he's so dedicated to his stuff!

-I am pretty much just busy taking care of the munchkins, and growing Miss Sis! I have caught the nesting bug and feel like I am making some progress on my list of to do before baby comes! Seems like I am never going to be on top of laundry though... sorry babe I know it drives you NUTS. I am looking forward to being able to run again after baby and have several half marathons I would love to do next summer.

-Kael is officially going to be a kindergartner next year! He is very excited although has mentioned several times he misses his preschool teacher Mrs. Renee. He's looking more like a big boy instead of my little Kael bug. It makes me sad but it's fun to see him growing and maturing. He is still very tender hearted, I have to be really careful what I let him watch and see on tv because he seems to be affected very easily. About a month or so ago I heard that a boy the I went to HS with had a son that drown in a river. I was watching a video on the news channel about it and was crying. He came in a saw and asked what I was watching. I explained to him and he got SO upset that the little boy drowned and died. He was so worried that would happen to his little brother and sister. He was so worried for the family. I had to stop on the way to preschool and say a prayer with him for the family because he was so upset by it. He seems very in touch with the spirit and many times find him off by himself saying a prayer for someone or something, without any promptings from me or Jon. He's such a loving and careing boy although has found his inner tease and has started testing it out on his siblings a little bit.

Brady- As usual my lovey dovey wants to snuggle with mom boy! I love it. He gets thinking about something and can't seem to drop it. For example he wants his friend Jake to come play and has been asking me every two minutes if he's coming even though I have told him each time i don't know his mom hasn't texted me back yet! He's up every morning by 7 and asks first thing which friend he can play with that day. I feel kind of bad for him this next year all his friends he plays with are the kids Kael's age and they will all be going to kindergarten. He will be in preschool twice a week and is very excited about that. He can't wait for his birthday to come or his baby sister! He's in Itty Bitty ball and so far we have learned has some fantastic Basketball skills when he focuses on what he's doing. Next week is tennis... we'll see how well I do since the parents get to participate!

We are headed to Disney in a couple of weeks and both boys are SO EXCITED! We have been counting down Church days for months. We are down to two more church days until we get to go.

Oakley is growing way to fast for my liking! She's talking so much and learns new words every day. She is a girl who know what, when and how she likes things and hasn't a problem expressing when she disagrees! She's a sweet little nut though. She loves her brothers and trys hard to play with them even when they don't want her to. She adores babies and I am sure will be plenty of help when Miss Sis arrives. On morning she woke up and asked where DaDa was I said he's at work already and she said "Oh Man" Her favorite word is HEY. If someone touches her blanket or something she wants she's right over there correcting them with a big "HEY MINE" or HEY MOVE". We sure love our Sassy Sis!

We made our first venture up the mountain for a picnic and it was FREEZING. We managed to have some fun though!

I have to say I am now a WHITESOX fan... and am in love with the cutest player on the team!

His favorite position to play is "picture" and is having a ball learning all about baseball. Especially when he gets to play catch with Dad. In the car after one of his games I was telling him something to do or not to do I can't remember and he piped up and said " Mom I am only small and have never played baseball before I am still learning give me a break!"

Such supportive siblings!

Thats all I have for now I need to take the most recent pics off of my camera! and Note to self put myself in more pictures! I have an ultrasound next week of baby girl I'll make sure to post pictures of our lovely baby girl! ONLY 13 more weeks until we get to meet her!

BABY! Like any of our other children they like to do things on their own terms... I had my mid-pregnancy ultrasound this morning. I am happy to report baby measure exact to the date of my due date and weighs about half of a pound. Baby wouldn't untuck or unpinch it's little legs for anything (little stinker!) so we didn't get really any shot of what it might be. I have my guess but will keep that to myself (sort of) until I know for sure. (Yes I will be like that!) So until we know what baby is it will continue to be called squishy. I do however think we will have to pick a name before baby comes because Brady is starting to regularly call the baby Spiderman! He keeps asking what we will name the baby and isn't very patient. Here are some pictures that we did get of baby and all it's cuteness!
