Moving Slow

It has been some time since my last update. I am sorry about that. I am hugely pregnant and so it takes me a lot more time to accomplish all the things I set out for myself to do and this usually is on the list, but at the bottom. Mostly because I try to do a billion things when Jet goes down for her nap that I really do run out of time. Last weekend was my family's reunion and we went to Massacre Rocks and fried ourselves. It was so hot and shade was limited. I had my camper which is what I credit my survival to. I did get swollen ankles from the ordeal, but it was all in the name of fun. Jet absolutely loved the little wading pool that was brought and has since we got home tried to get herself into one of my big bowls like it was a wading pool. I was proud of myself with the camping trip in that when I went I had to go by myself because Kellen had to work, so if I wanted the camper I had to pull it. I had never really pulled a trailer before and was quite nervous, but I did awesome I might say. Kellen gave me a few pointers on driving and that really helped. He was proud of me for pulling the camper all by myself. I did have help in hooking up to it and I knew it would be better if I had someone with more experience back it up. I am grateful to have such a helpful family. Juliet really enjoyed the trip even though her daddy wasn't there. On Sunday she was so excited to have Kellen back that she didn't complain at all when he would sit her in his lap at church. It made our lives easier. The week continues on and Kellen has to work overtime again. In a way he is really excited about it because that means we will have the extra money to fix a few things on our "giant" truck that we have been putting off for a time. Well that's all I have time for because it is time to put Jet down for a nap.

Re-reading

Okay so I just finished re-reading the twilight series again last night and so that is my excuse for not blogging because I read while Juliet takes her nap rather than dink around on the computer. This last week was state for high school rodeo and Kellen's youngest brother got to compete in three events. He did really well for a freshman and his first year at state. My belly continues to grow into the basketball size it is. Sitting for long periods of time has become quite a pain to deal with. Last Saturday I went to my friend, Kacy's wedding in Idaho Falls. The building was amazing and Kacy was telling me later that it used to be an old Mormon church built in the 1900s. They had remodelled the inside. Yesterday was Father's Day and Kellen got peanuts, and a bag of reese's peanut butter cups. I also got a bag of hugs and kisses to try to do a cute little saying, but I just told him about it because I didn't end up getting it all together in time. He was excited though to have the peanut type candy. I told him that Juliet was NOT allowed to have any peanuts. I did catch him twice letting her have a taste of a reese's peanut butter cup, but he was good about the peanuts even though Jet was demanding them from him he didn't give in. My little Juliet is so smart. I know she can say quite a few words, but she likes not having to use them. It is almost a game to her to see how long she can go before having to say anything. Her most common word is "no" and she even will shake her finger, which is really quite cute especially because when she says no it is usually the correct response to what is being done. Kellen has a pair of pants that have a hole in the knee and the other day he was wearing them and when Jet saw the hole she was saying "no, no" and was very concerned that dad had a hole in his pants. It was very funny to see her face when she looked at the hole not sure what to do about it, because she knew that was not right. We are currently working on folding our arms and saying amen. She is starting to fold her arms for about half the prayer. The other day though I had already given her her waffle and she was eating away at it when I said it was time to pray and asked her to fold her arms. She did, but still held onto the waffle and was trying to sneak bites during the prayer like she knew that she wasn't supposed to. I couldn't help but laugh at little after the prayer. Anyway I think that will be all for today. See you again later.

All Smiles

I know it has been a while since I last updated here, but I don't turn on my computer during the day so then i can accomplish more during the day. Juliet has been cutting her molars and is down to finish cutting the last two. i am so excited because she has been really difficult with cutting these teeth. I was going to put up a picture of her that I just think is so adorable, but it won't load up right for some reason and I am not patient enough to figure it out. This last weekend Kellen and I loaded up and went camping in Salmon. It sure is beautiful and green up there. It was my first time there and we sure had fun. Brant, Kellen's youngest brother is in high school rodeo and the Salmon rodeo is the last rodeo before State, which is in Pocatello. We are sure proud of Brant he is going to State in all three of the events that he does. Steer Wrestling, Calf-roping, and team roping. He also won two belt buckles, one for steer wrestling and the other for being rookie of the year. He is a freshman in high school. he also received a jacket for going to state. Kellen and I camped in our trailer at the grounds and i was nervous about where we were going to put Juliet to sleep, because we didn't have a way to secure her in a bed. so she wouldn't roll off on the ground. We ended up putting her on the table fold down into a bed because it is the widest. She did amazingly well and loved the idea of being in a big kid bed. I have decided to read the twilight series again since Kellen and I rented the movie a while ago and he was asking me what was and wasn't in the book. I couldn't remember everything so i am re-reading it. kellen mostly wanted to know if it followed the book because the movie Eragon doesn't follow the book very well and he had read the book after watching the movie. Well that is about all i will put down today.

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.
