We have a due date

So this is to let all of you know that Kellen and I now have an official due date for baby #2. The due date is August 6th. The same day as my cousin Audrey's birthday. Neat huh. I like it and Kellen thinks it is so cool that the baby is due so close to his birthday. The baby isn't old enough to determine the sex, but in another month I will be writing again because I will have to get another ultrasound to look at the baby's heart structure and what they can't see yet such as the kidneys and such, and the nurse added the sex of the baby. Jet was having fun showing off for the nurses, and they were soaking it all up. I think that the nurses in the lab don't get to see babies very often or at least ones that are willing to show off. Jet has no fear of people. She will go to practically anyone. As I said the nurses were eating all that she was giving them. Well class is about to start, See you all again later.

Picture Tag

So with this tag you post your 4th picture in your 4th folder and then tell a little bit about it.
Okay so this is the picture that happens to be in that spot. Kellen got really big into turning this pickup into a 6x6. So he went out on day and took a few pictures of our truck in the driveway and then used photoshop to make this picture. Amazingly enough is that this picture happens to be our wallpaper on our computer.

I tag Kara and Ashley

Real Quick

Okay so I know I wrote a little while ago, so thus the title. This week with school I was drawing up a huge cross section of the Tetons to the Gros Ventre Range. It took alot of time. It has to get turned in today, but I am so proud of it. I have faults,(not my strongest point in geology) and beds and angles. Loads of stuff. Anyway so life is doing well for me. I am maybe feeling like school isn't the enemy. So now I am going to end because I am going to go home after being on campus since 9 am. I like going home. Write again later.

Sorry so long

Okay so a lot has been going on lately that I haven't even had time to read my emails let alone be blogging. This semester has been a roller coaster of emotion. I am feeling constantly behind and yet I am keeping up. Strange. My nephew passed away on Jan. 19 and so there were a lot of tears spilt, but because of the gospel I know that I will see him again. School looms on with tests coming up and trying to remember everything I have been learning in those classes. On Sunday Feb. 1 my cousin passed away. My heart goes out to her close family since I am not able to go there myself. She was sick for a long time and now her suffering is over. Over this last weekend I was watching my sister (Monica's) kids. I tell you what she has got to be one amazing woman to be able to keep up with those five kids. I was wore out. I knew that since Kellen was in Arco with Jet that i would not be able to handle five kids that were not mine by myself so I loaded them up in Monica's van and we went to my mom's who offered to help me through the weekend. It was also my nephew Seth's baptism that Saturday and I knew the kids all wanted to see him. Seth was very brave because he is scared of the water, but they got it on the first try because he trusted his dad to pull him back up out of the water. All the nieces and nephews crowded around the front to watch and one girl was so excitedshe was laughing afterward and another little boy told her not to laugh because Seth was supposed to get wet. All the adults that heard that comment laughed, because it was true. I headed back to Monica's house Saturday night, because Kellen was coming back with my Jet ( I hadn't seen her in a week) So we all stayed at Monica's mostly because there wasn't room in our apartment and we figured the kids would be easier to care for in there own house. Well I don't think Kellen or I got any sleep. We had three kids in diapers all needing a change in the middle of the night. Juliet was freaked out and was having a hard time calming down to sleep. She also was pooping all the time. We ran out of diapers for her and luckily her and Hunter (who is almost 2 years old) are wearing size 5 diapers and so we had to use some of his because as we discovered the next day we really were out of diapers at our house and in the diaper bag. I made a fast run to the store. Now we have lots of diapers. So back to at Monica's Juliet's teddy bear was a major security blanket and so was Kellen. She was so happy to she me, but was not happy that she was having to share me with the other kids. She ended up sleeping with us. I think she was also a little bit cold and so that was keeping her awake. So now we are home and Juliet is sooooo happy to be in her own house and with both her parents and in her own bed.(still has to have her bear, but that's okay I really like the bear)
Kellen and I have been really good and have filed our taxes. We still have to mail off the state taxes, but are excited to see that money. We are pretty sure that with our tax returns we are going to be able to pay off one of our loans, which is very exciting. The best part is that I think we will have a little bit of money after that and so now we are trying to decide what other loan we should put it towards. Anyway that is about all that I got for now. Until I have some time again. I have no extra time it seems.

School Has Started

Ready or not it has hit and man i don't know about you, but I got hit hard with homework on the first day. that hasn't happened to me in a really long time. So today I got a pleasant surprise. I am taking Art 100 and as I was sitting in the room I had this feeling that someone I knew would be in the class. It was weird, maybe just very hopeful thoughts, but it worked Brian Ellis (friend from high school for those who don't know who he is) and Jordan Gillette (kid from my parents home ward) are in my class. How awesome is that. Brian just got married a few weeks ago and he was all smiles and was so excited to show me his ring. I think he was also happy to know someone in his class. So we talked after class and I found out that since they just recently changed the ward boundaries for our ward they aren't in our ward, otherwise they would have been, Bummer! they are such a cute couple. It would have been nice to been in the same ward.
So my morning sickness has returned with a vengence. I am on such a schedule with eating it is unreal. i wasn't tied down to eating at specific times with my last pregnancy, but they say each one is different.
Juliet is walking!!! at 10 months. She is really determined to get it down really fast. It won't be long until she is running everywhere. She tried it the other day and fell down, but she has figured out that if when she starts to get a little wobbly if she just keeps moving her feet and moves them faster she will stay upright, most of the time. She loves that she can be mobile while upright. mostly because before she could only carry one item in her mouth and now she can carry one in her mouth and one in each hand if they are small. The funniest is watching her carry a big red ball that she got for christmas. She laughs everytime that she picks it up. I think it is because she figures if she falls down that the ball will make her bounce. It has happened once. She loved it. She loves to sit in Kellen's lap and put the ball between their foreheads and then shake her head back and forth. It is really funny to watch. Also Juliet is such a daddy's girl. We will all be in the kitchen and if he walks out she cries even if I am there and feeding her. She is so attached. Kellen loves it and then when she is whinny he has a hard time with it because she just wants him not me. So since school has started back up for me kellen has had to become Mr. Mom to a certain degree. i think he will be happy to turn that role back over to me, but I am gratful that he is willing.
Okay well that is all I got for now. I am going to go eat (that whole eating schedule) and then maybe watch a movie and chip away at my homework. until next time. :)

Hi Everybody

Okay so I am so happy to be back home after much traveling. It seems we have to go somewhere every weekend, and this weekend we have a wedding to go to. I am also happy to be back to my computer and the internet and being able read everyone's blogs. Okay so in my last blog I causally mentioned I was pregnant. So now I will expand on the subject. This was not planned, quite the surprize actually. I was thinking we would start working on another one after this spring semester, but I am still way excited. the really amazing part about this pregnancy is that I really haven't been sick. Before Christmas I was throwing up, but afterwards I haven't thrown up with the exception of the flu bug my family caught. I haven't thrown up since. I love it. If I could be pregnant like this everytime, it would make the family a lot bigger. Anyway I have to confess that I am a klutz. While we were out at Kellen's parents I fell down their stairs. Not bad, but I wacked my arm pretty hard and now it is looking all black and blue and yellow. I wear long sleeves to cover it up, because it looks so gross. So today i went and got all my fees for school paid. Kellen and I have been so blessed this year because I got a big scholarship and with the financial aid I received we don't have to pay out of pocket for my schooling. It has been a big relief especially to Kellen.
So tomorrow is my birthday and I will be turning 23. I have no idea what to do for my birthday. Kellen keeps asking me and I got nothin' We have agreed to going out to dinner, but that is about it so far. Any ideas? Let me know.

Short Update

Okay so I have been away from my computer this whole time, either that or Kellen has been using it. Anyway, So we had an awesome Christmas. We got stuck driving out to my parents for Christmas, but we won't go into that because this is a short and quick update. Kellen and I came home from my parents on Saturday after Christmas so we could attend our own ward. We are trying to be good children. Well in sacrament meeting Jet threw up and we rushed home, because there was no staying with how messy her dress was and I had no spare pjs to put her in. (Laugh Monica) So then that night Kellen and I are sick with the flu. All night he would use the bathroom and then me. It was awful. I was doing double duty as far as sick goes because Kellen and I are expecting again. We think that our bundle of Joy will arrive somewhere in August. That's our guess. So we stayed home for a few days to recoop because the plan was to head off to Kell's parents right away, but we figured we didn't want to spread the flu if we could help it. So eventually we went out to Arco and spent a few days out there. Jet must have still had something because she became a super pooper while we were there. I was so grateful that I decided at the last minute to throw in a few more diapers just in case and they saved my bacon. Jet is also getting more and more determined to walk and she has done six steps before. We are so excited. I think she became more determined to do it because she saw all of her older cousins walking around and it looked cool because you could move and not have to carry what you wanted to take with you in your mouth. Anyway so that is our life lately in a nut shell. I also finally got to checking out what my grades were for this last semester and they were really good. I was so excited so Kellen and I are having root beers to celebrate. Till next time.
