Just call me Betty Crocker...HaHa

So, lately I've just been feeling like baking like crazy!
Artie's boss gave us a bunch of Zuchini from his garden, so we've been making so much Zuchini bread and chocolate Zuchini bread....yum!
Then the kids and I picked some Apricots from Artie's parents tree, so I decided to try some Apricot Freezer Jam...hmmm, not too bad for my first try.For Family Night, I made Cinnamon Rolls... I have to say they tasted pretty good! But, this is for sure not helping my fast growing baby bump.... and Artie's either! =)

Another Summer of Swim Lessons

Ashlyn's little class
My awesome little floaterShe's too funny when she swims, she really get's moving fast, but it's like she's running under the water....she doesn't get the legs behind her...haha...but I guess she get's where she wants to go =)Jumping in Ashlyn swimming to the side Ammon entertaining himself while the girls have their lessons Alley floating and kicking to the end of the pool
Hmmmm...is this how you dive?? Let's try that again =)At least she went in head first this time...haha Swimming all the way across the pool doing the Superman

YuM...Whipped Cream

Summer Games Softball in Cedar

Artie played in the Softball tournament at the Summer Games in Cedar City. So, we all had a nice weekend there in the cooler weather!
These pictures are a little hard to see through the fence, I'm not that professional yet with my camera =) But, the kids were having a blast running the bases while the guys were waiting on the next Softball Game to start. Ammon running to 2nd
Now he's headed for Home Base...
He skipped Home and took off to 1st base again =) He was quite the little runner around those bases....when it was time for the game to start we had to pretty much drag him off of the field crying..... You'll get to be out there one day buddy! =)

Our Baby's Ultrasound

These Pictures don't look as good when they are scanned in, but they are still cool! We took all the kids with us to the Ultrasound and they got to watch it on the big screen at the Doctor's office. They thought it was pretty cool! I think Ammon finally realizes there is something in my belly!
The baby was moving it's arm back and forth and opening and closing it's mouth. I love ultrasounds, it's so cool! We are not finding out the sex of the baby! It's going to be a Surprise! The ultrasound tech really tried to stay away from down there & when she had to really go more down there to get measurements and stuff she turned the big screen off so we weren't trying to peek! =) Artie thinks he saw that it's a girl..haha, but who really knows....We'll find out when the little munchkin gets here!
I have been really worried because of everything we found with Ammon at the time of my ultrasound...his pelvic kidney and dialation of the kidney and the umbilical cord was only a 2 vessel cord and it's suppose to be 3 vessels. So, I was really worried with this one and just really wanted to know that everything is great! And it is....Everything looks perfect! Thank goodness! So, here are the first pics of Baby #4.....
The Hand

you can see it's eye.... Spine

Cute little foot

Hand, Face, Abdomen Peek-a-boo 2 lower legs My Pregnancy so far: I was sick from 7 1/2 weeks until 16 weeks. Feeling so yucky and not wanting to eat anything! Constantly nautious, day & night! Throwing up and all that fun stuff! After that I started feeling pretty good, just extra tired. I started to feel the baby move finally around 18 weeks. Since then I feel it move all the time. I am now about 21 weeks. I felt it have hiccups for the first time just the other night. I'm not craving anything crazy. I've been eating lot's of fruit, chips, popcorn, I could eat a whole box of triscuit crackers in one night, I'm eating mustard on things (which I usually don't like) and I'm loving all things sweets! (that's pretty normal actually...haha =) The girls love to talk to my belly and Alley and Ashlyn argue about what it should be, Boy or Girl! I guess we'll be finding out when she or he get's here, I'm 1/2 way now! It's going pretty fast! The Doctor actually said that from the Ultrasound measurements, my due date is looking more like November 5 instead of Oct. 29. But, I don't really like the idea of being pushed back. =)I guess it will probably be somewhere between there! We can't wait to meet our new little addition!

Free Nevada Fishing Day!

On Saturday is was Free NV fishing day so we took the kids over to Hafen Park and tried to catch some fish! We didn't catch anything....but we weren't there too long! Kids can only sit there for so long waiting. =) But we had a fun time!
Ammon thought it was so cool!
After a while we let the kids go play at the park....

~I love just having some laid back Family Time!~

Ashlyn's Earrings

Ashlyn got her ears pierced a month or so ago. After Alley got hers Ashlyn really did NOT want to do it. But, I guess she was ready, she wouldn't stop talking about it! So, we got it done and she was so brave! She loves them!! She thinks they are sooo pretty and loves to show everybody! My little freckle faced girl with her earrings!

T-ball 2009

The kids had a great time at T-ball this year! This was Ashlyn's first time getting to be on the team. I think she is actually too young...but daddy was the coach =) so I guess she got to play too!
Ammon had fun watching But, he'd actually rather be playing...he went out there a few times and grabbed the bat like it was his turn. ~Ashlyn throwing it to first base~~Alley getting a grounder~Good Job team!! They were the Dodgers this year!Giving 5's to the other team!Ashlyn, Alley, Javen & Ammon
