A little backtracking...

So I finally got pictures downloaded off my camera so I am backtracking a little. The following posts are from March back to January to catch u up. See I said I would be better at posting I just never said I wouldn't do it all at once, lol! Enjoy!

Easter Camping

We went camping out by Allen's Ranch! It is basically camping in the desert but we love it. We go there every year with some of Arlund's friends! We bought a camper from Arlund's brother and this was it's first camping trip with us! It held up nicely! It is actually a good camper for how old it is! We had a huge easter egg hunt Sunday morning and all the kids got totally hooked up on candy! Kayden enjoyed shooting his pellet and bb gun. Derek and I got a little sunburned! The guys enjoyed their regular blowing up things and shooting tournaments. All together we had a great time!

Coloring Easter Eggs

A few days before easter we went to Lehi to Color Eggs with Grandpa and Grandma Lewis. The boys had a ton of fun! Jason and Mandy colored eggs with us also!

Blueman Group

I surprised Arlund and gave him tickets to the Blueman Group for our anniversary. They came to the Energy Solutions in Feb. I bought the tickets 30 minutes after they went on sale and got floor seats but we were in the very back. It was still alot of fun. My camera was not working to good so most of my pictures were blurry but here are a few!

They came out into the audience and walked right past us. The second is one of them catching things in his mouth, it was amazing!



This is a view from where we were sitting, not to bad!

Pinewood Derby

Kayden got to join scouts in August and just loves it! He got to participate in the pinewood derby this year! Him and his Dad had alot of fun building his car. He did very well! He got the Most Realistic Looking Award!


Nicklecade.....

On Jan 21st it was our anniversary, we both had the day off for presidents day so we took the boys out to lunch and then to the nicklecade! It was alot of fun! Here are some pictures!

The big day!

May 13th is the big day, my doctor is going to induce me that day unless I go before that! That is six weeks from today! Crazy! I am getting so nervous now thinking what the heck did I get myself into? My baby will be 6 years old in August, will I remember how to take care of a baby. They say it is different when it is your own and that it all comes back to you but I don't know. I was at the doctor's office yesterday and this baby was crying and part of me was like oh I want a baby and the other part of me was like shut that baby up, that is so annoying and then I was like oh no what if that is me, what if I can't comfort my baby! Aghhhghghgh I guess I am just getting nervous cuz it is getting closer but I am sure I will be ok.

We are trying to finish our basement so we have room for all of us and all my baby stuff is just sitting in the corner of my room right now. I think when we can get moved around and I can actually set up the nursery I will feel a little more prepared! I have been trying to help out with as much as I can but there is only so much they will let a pregnant lady do, hehe I am just thankful Arlund has great friends! Mike and Steve have been over helping out alot and Arlund's Dad has come over as well. Without them we would be so behind! There is still alot of work to do but it is coming together nicely! Hopefully in the next few weeks we can get it all together so we can be ready for this little one!

Little update on the rest of the family:
Kayden is in the 2nd grade, he turned 8 in August and started in the Boy Scouts and just loves it! He enjoys playing with his friends and xbox with his Dad and brother! He is pretty good for an 8 year old, hehe! He also loves to draw and is very good at that too!

Derek turned 5 in August and is going to graduate from pre-school next month and is so excited for Kindergarten! Even more excited now that we found out the first day of Kindergarten is on his birthday! He enjoys playing outside and likes to play his gameboy. He also enjoys playing xbox with his Dad and brother!

Both are so excited for their new little brother. He does not have a name yet and they both like to ramble off random names to me to see if I like them. Well can't wait to post pictures of the new little one! Let's see if I can be a little better at keeping this blog updated in April!
