This is it!

We are excited and somewhat sad to announce that we are re-locating to this lovely home in Cottonwood Heights, Utah. We are having our 4th baby and want a little more room. This will suit us realy well. We have been in Lehi almost 6 years. Sadly, we must move on. However we are ready to begin a new adventure in our life! Jordan and Taylor will be able to go to school with some cousins and I will be across the street from my.... mom and dad! I am really excited. I am in denial a little bit because we are maybe moving within 2 weeks. We are closing in 3 days... fixing a little of the house up and, yes I should get some boxes, anyone have any to donate...

Every one in Lehi, know that I have loved being here and I am a bit emmotional at this point thinking about leaving you all. Sometimes you just know it is the right thing to do. We feel very supported by the Lord and are so grateful for that reassurance.

FAILED...
need I say more..



Although.. I know I can do it!
GO EMILY!



Thanks all'y'all for your support!

NEMISIS: 3 Hour Glucose Test

I decided this morning with my mom I would way prefer this:

Than This!

Why can't we just eat this yummy decadent treat and measure out 100 grams of sugar! The drink tasted like syrup... 5 Minutes they say and you need to finish it all! I could do the sundae with no problem!

Actually, it wasn't too bad, but I am a little nervous that I am going to have gestational diabetes... Yeah to everyone that likes the drink... just wait til one day you have to drink the next step up.

What do you think of this... like it, love it, or HATE IT!

I'll post the results as soon as I know. Any guesses?

What do you think?

I think Taylor was a success!! She is always SO cute.
I kind of think it makes my nose look big... but I really know that is pregnancy! It always swells up. But it seems this isn't helping! So, I have been wanting to do this for a while, and today I took the plunge! I don't think I got it quite right, but hopefully in a few weeks I can adjust.... Be honest, what do you think?

Church at 9:00

I'll admit knowing that church was going to start at an earlier time gave me a great case of anxiety! I really didn't know how we would do it. I also don't really remember how I did the days of getting up before 6 for a 1 hour beauty session before school! WOW

Anyway, on top of early church today, last night was one of those nights, up with so many things on your mind, kids waking up, making loud noises, anxiety over wether or not the dog is "roaming" AKA CHEWING! Q!@#$@)&... Feeling very pregnant and having to use more energy than possible to do the whale flop and switch sides, because my hips were falling asleep...

Anyway around 3 Jordan woke up who was so sad. He said, "I am so hot and don't feel well." He was so sad... Ryan promptly got up with him, took him to the kitchen and helped him with medicine to break his fever. 

Naturally we did not wake jordan this morning, He stayed home with Ryan from church.... When we got home I expected them be down stairs playing Wii together, they weren't. Ryan offered to play wii, read to him, feed him, anything he could think of. Jordan was feeling too crummy and just wanted to lay there, so not like him. Anyway Ryan, then suggested, to sing primary songs. Sweetly Jordan perked up as much as he could and agreed, although he didn't want to join in, so for a while today while we were at church, Ryan and Jordan had their own sweet time singing primary songs. What a sweet dad to do that. 

And yes, if any of you were wondering... We have made it through successfully the past 2 weeks of early church. I really enjoy it in fact!

Over the river and through the woods...

Into Christmas we come! I am so excited for Christmas this year! I decided to start shopping early, and guess what, I have been done for quite some time. Well, I do have a few more little things to pick up, but consequently Christmas would be the same with out them I think... 

I feel so blessed this season, things seem a little simpler and slower. I have truly felt the Sprit of Christ this December. We have been visited by the Christmas Elves which have touched me... and we have been able to do some small things as a family to help our children understand how it feels to give to those less fortunate.

I am so grateful to really understand the greatest gifts we could ever receive in this lifetime... an Eternal family...  Understanding we are children of God who are always loved... having a great healthy family who I feel as much love from as I do for me... and mostly our Savior, Jesus Christ. His atoning sacrifice has brought so much peace to me in my life and I know I am yet at the tip of the iceberg of understanding truly what he has done for me. Hopefully I can gain a bit more understanding this year as I feel my own unworthiness to the abundant blessings which I have been so generously given.

Merry Christmas

and a few photos to spread the cheer...

Leaves

Here we are celebrating Fall! I love this season. I love taking pictures of my children in the leaves... They always have so much fun.

This is what I finally decided to do with my children when they were bad! As you can see, just like everything else, they didn't take me real seriously...

Not really, we just had more work to do in the front and Ryan wanted to give them a ride.

Nobody report me to child services okay? just kidding
