Keep going

Okay so the school semester is starting to really wind down and there are a million projects one must put off a little longer to fully procrastinate and then suddenly get done. I fortunately am not one of those people. I don't have a ton of projects that are piling up, but I am trying to figure out what to take next semester and I want easy classes. The problem is that I think I have already taken all the low number classes. So I don't know what to do. School is going well for me. I am staying caught up and am surprisingly doing really really well in my structural geology class. At least I understand the labs and the complicated stereonets that we are currently doing. Tonight Kellen and I are going to the Dodge Rodeo. I am way excited. We didn't get to go last year because Juliet was so new and we didn't think she would do well, but we are going this year. My belly is growing. I am really starting to show and waddle around when I walk. Oh and I forgot to write that we found out what we are having and it is a ............ BOY!! We haven't come to find a name yet, but we are working on it. Well that has been my life in a nutshell for the last little while it has been in a rut of going to school, but I always feel that I am in a rut at this time in the school year. That's just me. I am looking forward to being out of school, but not to being big and pregnant over the whole summer. I think Juliet will like it too when she can stay with me. She does like going to her cousin's house, but some mornings she is so mad at me for leaving her there, but it makes it all better when I pick her up and we go home and she gets to see her daddy. She has like an internal clock that knows he gets off work at five because she starts looking at his picture and gets whiny. It is hard to keep her entertained while also trying to cook a nice dinner for my honey until he gets home. When he walks in that door, Jet runs to him and won't give him time to take off his coat before she gives him a hug and wants picked up. I think it really makes Kellen's day when she does that. Well that really is all I have. Until another time. Ta.

A working sink

Okay so the sink in our bathroom has never really worked right and drained really, really slow. We knew that we were going to have to pull off the pipe and clean it out, but we kept putting it off. I was complaining about it the other day and Kellen told me that as soon as I cleared out all the stuff that is under the sink he would clean it all out. So I went to work and got the bathroom ready for my handyman husband to fix the sink. Juliet was anxious to be in on all the action and kept trying to take the bucket I had gotten for Kellen to use. So I sat there holding Juliet while Kellen pulled off the pipe. Jet was not happy that she couldn't help or see well enough so I decided to shut the door because the smell was awful and I couldn't take it. Now our sink is in perfect working order. Kellen told me that that sink hasn't been cleared out in years because the junk that was clogging the pipe went clear back into the pipe that was going into the wall. When he dumped it in the dumpster it looked like a rat. GROSS I know, but I am so happy that it was done. It seems that almost each apartment we have moved into we have had to clean out the drain on the bathroom sink, which just like this one haven't been clean out in years. So I guess that is all I really have got for you readers today. Write again another time, probably when I am putting off doing some homework. That is always when I feel the real need to blogand update.

Juliet's Birthday

Okay so this was before and we were making sure the camera would still work after the throw up on it. She was laughing so much when Kellen put her in the garbage can I had cleaned earlier that day.

At Kellen's oldest brother's house to celebrate his birthday. Jet was having so mmuch fun getting in and out of the bigger box, but the other kids wanted to play with it more so we traded and Jet was more excited about being in this box than the big one.

IT'S A PARTY!!! Jet's cake. Vanilla cake with strawberry frosting and sprinkles that spelled her nickname. And one candle. I had to ask my sister to bring matches because Kellen and I didn't have any. They are all in our camper (as usual) Thank you Millie!

I think this present is still the favorite, She loves the noises that the piano makes, but she will switch between it and her truck. Yup my girl. Got to keep the truck playing time in.

Ripping the presents open. It took a lot of encouragement to get her to rip the paper. I had to help her with each one, but that is okay.

So I need to say thank you to all my family that was able to come and for what you brought to help with the meal. I tried to thank each of you, but I am sure I missed a few, so THANK YOU for helping to make Jet's birthday so memorable at least for Kellen and I. Jet probably won't remember it, but we will.

Old Pictures

Okay so I know that these pictures are really old. From Christmas, but as I was looking at my own blog I realized that I hadn't put any pictures up for a long time. Mainly because these are some of the last pictures we have taken. Right after we came back from Christmas holiday my whole family got sick with the flu and it got Jet first. Needless to say she threw up in sacrament meeting and we left. Well luckily( or however you look at it) Jet mostly got the diaper bag and the wipes were quickly used to wipe the bag and as best I could the carpet. We noticed that the side pocket the spilled contents went into was the one where I had quickly put the camera to ensure it came home with us from my parents. It was covered and so we really haven't used it since then. Mostly because after some testing we discovered that the battery needed charged back up and we couldn't find it. ( I had put it somewhere safe and I couldn't remember where that was) So toady I made it my mission to find the charger and I did. So there should be some newer pictures forth coming but today you get to look at christmas photos (Oh how fun)

This is after all the presents have been opened at my parents house and we put Jet in this box. She played in it for quite a while. (long enough for me to get a couple of pictures)

I was goofing around with Jet and she loved the idea of the santa hat.

Although she didn't want to keep it on her head for very long I was able to get this picture

This is Jet in yet another box, but this was before Christmas when I was wrapping up all the presents. She was so anxious to help that I put her in the box to try to contain her for a few minutes so I could finish with the last present I was wrapping.

Hope you enjoyed my rewind back to Christmas.

I am so proud

Okay so here is a story again about Juliet. So yesterday After Kellen got home from work he got in the fridge and grabbed a can of Country Time Strawberry Lemonade and was drinking it as I was finishing putting dinner together to put in the oven. Jet comes into the kitchen, missing her daddy and sees his drink and wants some. Kellen decides that we hadn't given her anything sweet in her sippy for quite a while and that she could have the little bit that was left. After he poured what was left in the can into the sippy he left the can on the counter and went into the livingroom I am still in the kitchen cleaning up my mess and Jet has drain every drop that she can get out of the sippy and man that girl is smart. She can see the can that dad poured the drink into her cup up on the counter still and decided it might have some more. So she grips the sippy in her teeth and moves the stool (always in my kitchen because I am so short) over towards the counter. She then attempts to climb up on the stool, but it is still a little too high for her and she is still chicken enough to not pursue climbing up on the stool. I was laughing and so proud of how smart my little girl was that if there had still been some drink left I would have given it to her for her valiant effort. So that is my story for the day hope you enjoyed it.

New Boots

Okay so Kellen and I decided that we really needed to get Juliet some shoes. She has been going around in just socks and occasionally in shoes that are too small. This is mostly because we don't have the next size up in shoes. So we went shopping the other day and Kellen told me that he wanted to get her boots. We went to Vickers to see whaat they had. We found some cute ones, but when we tried to put them on her they wouldn't go on. Her feet are too fat and wide. So while at Vickers we realized that if we were going to get her anything it would have to be in a size bigger than what her foot actually was so it would go in the shoe. We decided to look at another store to see if we could find a better deal. We went to Walmart to get groceries and wipes ( We were out and running on the few that are stored in the diaper bag) I stopped to look at the kids shoes and they were having a sale on a few types of shoes. I wanted to see if it still proved true that we would need a bigger size even though the shoes weren't boots. It proved true, she still needed a bigger size. We found a pair of boots on sale for a third of the price of the ones we found at Vickers so we bought them and Juliet loves them. She goes hunting around the house for them. She carries them around and will try to help you when you are putting them on her. Mostly because she knows that if her boots are getting put on she is getting to get out of the house and go somewhere. Till next time.

Update

So Kellen and I have an official due date for baby #2 it is August 6th. I know that mom put the nix on any more babies being born in August, but maybe the baby will come early. Keep your fingers crossed, if not I'm sure mom will eventually be okay with all the new babys. School is going well. I took the first test in my Structural Geology class. I got a B and I was talking to Dave (my professor) and he said that he was quite impressed with my test and that nobody in the class got an A and so that means that my B was one of the highest grades on the test. I am really starting to like that class, which means that I put more effort into it to get a good grade. I wish I could have that much ethusiasim with my other geology class called Evolution of the Earth's surface.
Juliet continues to grow and man that girl is smart. Kellen and I are going to have a time with staying ahead of her. She likes to take things apart, and then you can see her brain going as she will try to put it all back together. Yesterday we bought her a toy truck that is soft rubber stuff, she loves it. It will make sounds, but she hasn't figured out how to make it make sounds. She really liked the little piano in the store as well, but we decided we could stand the truck for a longer period of time. Also Kellen is looking at those toys that could be for a boy or a girl, which I guess is smart, but I don't think I want my baby girl to be a complete tomboy. We'll see what happens, she really loves to rough house and wrestle, yet she is a little chicken and shy about some stuff. The amazing thing is that she is not shy around people even those she doesn't know. All the time in church she will go to a stranger and insist to sit in their lap, or when another baby is crying she will (if she is free) go over and you can see she is trying to console the baby.
Now I know this is really quite long already, but there is one other tidbit of news that you should all know about and as you know that Kellen has been unemployed this winter and he has gotten his job back and starts on Monday. We are so happy. Well that is everything for now.
