What we're up to....

Gavin has finished and started another semester at BYU already! He has three semesters left until we are done, and we can't wait. He will be applying for law schools this Fall and graduating in December.

We are also going to be moving into a three bedroom apartment in August, which we can't wait for. With this third baby on the way, there is just no way we can pack three kids into this little house. We'll miss it though, we have been here for almost 3 years now, which is hard to believe. The funny thing is the new apartment is right across the street from my OBGYN office and the hospital I will be delivering at, so I guess I could really just walk across the street when I go to deliver.

I'm still feeling really sick most days, but I am learning to deal with it better I guess. I am 3 1/2 months now and I feel like I'm already showing, hmmmmmm.

The girls keep us very busy, they have become good little buddies and it is cute to see them play so well together.

Anyway, that is our update :)

Extra Easter Pics!

I forgot to mention in my last post that this adorable dress is from Gavin's Mom! She gave matching dresses to our girls and they looked so cute in them on Easter. Thanks Mom!
We had a massive Easter egg hunt also at his parents house at the church across the street with all the grand kids from Gavin's side. There were a million eggs and it was cute to see all the kids run full speed across the street to get their eggs. Bailey actually found a golden egg with a dollar bill in it. She was a lucky girl, the older kids really wanted that one I think!
Here we have Sidney, Tommy, Grant, Tyler, and more of the cousins waiting to get their eggs.......
And the cute girls waiting patiently (Sienna and Laura)!!!

We had a fun holiday with his family and his Mom cooked some delicious food as usual, she always works so hard to feed everyone in this big family!

Easter Fun!

Easter Sunday at Grama's House

Wow, I really haven't posted anything for about 5 weeks now. Yes, I am still alive, just trying to make it through each day with this pregnancy sickness. Some days are better than others, but I have just had such strong nausea this time and fatigue. I am trying to be positive, but it has been going on now for 5 weeks straight!!!!!!! I know it will pass, but wow, this is getting old.

Anyway, we had a great Easter weekend with family and I loved General Conference as usual. It is one of the only times I get to hear any talks lately because at church I am usually up with the kids.


Anyway, just wanted to post some pictures from those two days: (they are backwards in order, sorry :) too tired to fix it :)

Nausea, nausea, nausea

For the first few weeks of this pregnancy, I felt pretty dang good, not too much nausea, just mild. The past few days though, oh my goodness, out of control nausea and fatigue. I hate it because I want to still be a good mommy to my girls, but I'm am feeling so out of it! I'm sure Gavin thinks I am faking it and being a lazy cow, but the last few days, I have been a permanent resident of our family room couch. It is hard to entertain a 3 year old and a 16 month old when you feel like if you move too much you will barf all over! (sorry for the mental image)

I'm so excited for this baby, but wow, this sickness has probably been the worst of my pregnancies so far! Maybe that is why I love my kids so much, because I worked hard to get them here :)

I am about to throw out ANY and ALL things that have ANY scent whatsoever, I don't know that there is any smell that isn't making me sick right now.

I know this is just a trial, so I'm trying to get through it and still be a good, happy Mom. The good thing is, I have a great husband who helps me when he can!

Abby's Birthday!

Abby's Birthday turned out so fun this year! We had my parents and my grandma over for dinner on Sunday and they were so nice to come! Abby got a lot of nice gifts and was really excited for the princess dress and barbie doll (her latest obsession). My parents with Abby....
Opening gifts....
Grandma Ryan and Abby...

On Saturday (the day before her Birthday), we took the girls to the Discovery Gateway downtown SLC. They LOVED it and didn't want to leave! Abby loved the helicopter and jumped right in the front seat to steer.
Another favorite of hers..... the little kitchen playroom.
Bailey loved it too and was all over the place!
Bailey kept trying to climb that wall, little wild thing


Abby has grown up too fast! We love her so much and it has been so fun to see her grow and change each year!

Making me sick....

This is one of Gavin's favorite colognes, and yes, it does smell really good normally, but.....

it has been making me sick....why you ask?

This is due to the little thing we are expecting around October 25.

Valentines Day!

Abby was sure doing the poses today! I got some cute pictures of them before their hair/outfits were destroyed from playing and eating :) We had a nice day at church, besides the usual chasing of our girls down the halls and never sitting through a meeting, haha. At one point, Gavin had Bailey out in the hall and Abby took off running down the hall as fast as she could, so I came out running after her and Gavin was watching from behind the whole time, laughing. He said I looked like a wild, crazy Mom! I think my kids are my exercise program :)
Abby is really starting to talk so much more lately, it is cute to hear. I taught her to say "I'm beautiful" today, which she has been walking around saying, woops :)
Bailey is a sweetie, but is getting really wild, especially at church. She can't hold still at all! We are SOOOOOO looking forward to nursery :) She'll be in there in about 2 1/2 months, yay!

Anyway, we had a great Valentines Day and it was nice to spend with our cute girls. Gavin helped me make dinner, which was so nice, he is such a good husband and father!

Another Post about our girls....

I know, I know, most of my posting consists of pictures of our girls, but I guess that is because they are my life right now :) Bailey Jane is sure growing up fast and is picking up on so many new things lately, including CLIMBING, which makes us nervous, but I guess it comes with the age. We are trying to pack weight on her since she is only in the 5th percentile for weight, she is just a little thing.
I love this picture of Abby below, she is just as busy as ever and is starting to understand more and talk a lot. It is cute. She asks us all if we are okay when we get hurt and likes to do everything I do. She also likes to mother Bailey, which we are working on because it gets to be dangerous.

Abby will be turning 3 on February 28th! I can't believe it! She has been such a joy.
