No Baby Yet!!!

So of course I was hoping I would be lucky enough to have our little Brooklyn early like Andrew. No such luck as of yet. I am so ready to be done. At my last appointment I was dilated to a 11/2 only 81/2 cm to go. Which really means absolutely nothing. Oh well here's hoping.

First Week of Summer!!!

What an exciting first week this has been!! I didn't accomplish anything on my todo list but that's ok. Andrew and I went to the zoo with my sister and her girls Emi and Ali. We had a great time.
We watched the black bears play with each other which was the best part of the day. The cheetah was going crazy running all over the place and playing with his ball. We rode the train and were the only ones on board. Got to ride the carousel (I have no idea how to spell this) which was Andrew's first time. I hated it only because I hate anything that goes round and round.

Friday my oldest nephew Padan graduated with the first ever graduating class of Syracuse High School!!! We are all so proud of him. He looked dashing in his cap and gown. However, I didn't get any good pictures on my camera because Barry took off with my bag which had the camera in it. Also, I was not feeling too hot. Earlier (about two hours prior too) I ate two of Andrews pop corn chickens from his Arby's kids meal. Let's just say I ended up in the hospital at 5am the next morning to get two IV's due to dehydration. We had to call my sister Cathy to come and sit with Andrew while we ventured off. I am so thankful she lives close by and was home. My mom and dad were in Costa Rica so they were a little out of the way to be bothered. The hospital wasn't all that great. The next time I am at the hospital, it better be to have a baby!!!!


Which brings me to my next point. Today I am exactly 37 weeks!!! Only three more to go unless I get to have her early like I did Andrew. In that case I am expecting her this weekend but I won't hold my breath. Here is why she won't be coming early: 1- Because Andrew did. 2- Because I want her to. 3- Because my bags are packed and I am actually prepared for it.

Long Time No Blog!

Sorry I haven't been very good at keeping up. But, it's been a crazy month with my dance company, drill team and of course family. Summer is near and I am sooooo happy to be done with school and even more happy to be done with pregnancy. 5 weeks and 3 days but whose counting.
So here are some fun pictures from spring break that was a good month ago but we had a great time! We went to St. George to cheer on my dad's softball team. Barry was dying because he couldn't play but he made a great cheerleader.
Andrew is already learning how all of his boy cousins show their undies!!!

This is Andrew with his cousin Ruby. He talks about her non stop!!! He always wants to see her and if you ask him what someone or something's name is, he replies "Ruby."

So Cute!!

Easter Weekend

This was a super fun Easter for us and our family. Andrew knows what Easter is and is all about when it comes to the commercial end of things. We are still working on the spiritual side and will get there eventually.

We kicked off the weekend with the first of 3, yes 3 hunts. One of Barry's stations (FM100) was sponsoring a hunt at "This Is The Place" state park. It was shear madness!!!!! Parents are CRAZY and way out of control. They had the place divided up into age groups. His of course was the largest. He was lucky enough to find two eggs. Don't worry there were several other children who came back with none or 20 if their parents did the hunting. We had a good time anyway and got to visit the Easter Bunny and I know he was just happy finding the two that he had.


The next egg hunt was of course on Easter Morning when Andrew found a trail of eggs to his Easter Basket! The Easter Bunny made it nice and easy on him. He was so excited each time he found an egg.

The Final Hunt was at Grandma Wachter's house. The Easter Bunny was a smart one there. He labeled 27 eggs for each grandchild that was visiting for Easter Sunday. It was fun to watch the older kids search for their eggs in some not so easy to find places. For those of you who might or might not recognize the crazy bunch below, it's Bailee, Tyler, Kayleigh, Jake, Tayler, Andrew, and Tiffany.

I have Officially Gone CRAZY

So last Friday, the vice principal at my school approached me about coaching drill team here at PG. I was completely shocked that the current coach was quitting. She is amazing and does a fantastic job with the girls. They have been a fantastic drill team during the past 3 years that I have been at PG. It was quite possibly one of the toughest decisions I have ever made. After four days of deep discussion with Barry and a much needed blessing, I accepted the job. I really have lost my mind. Here I am about to have a second child and I am jumping into this very demanding role as a coach while maintaining my teaching responsibilities and continuing with dance company too.
All I can say is Barry has to be the most supportive person in the entire world. He is now going to be taking on the responsibility of taking the kids to day care in the mornings. Check back with me in 365 days to see if I am still alive. I am way nervous but am up to the challenge.
Here goes nothing!!!!

I suck!

Sorry that I haven't posted in many weeks. It's because nothing has happened. Life isn't really all that interesting at the current moment.

Barry did have to go in and have a second procedure done on his shoulder again. We had to be at the Provo Hospital last Wednesday at 5:30 in the am YUCK!!!! They stuck his arm in a machine and moved it around to break up the scar tissue. He's now in physical therapy and improving tremendously!!

This past weekend we went to watch Barry's sister perform in a Belly Dance shindig. We are both proud of her for doing it and she did a great job! She balanced a sword on her head for 2 minutes. Pretty impressive.

Andrew is starting to form those fun little 2 and 3 word sentences. Some are still hard to understand but fun to listen to. I love watching him grow up.

My pregnancy is just that a pregnancy. I feel fatter than ever and can hardly wait until the next 13 weeks are done and over with. But on the good side I was able to put on some regular pants today that just happen to fit under my stomach great!! It made me feel pretty good.

Disney On Ice

Have I mentioned how cool of a job Barry has? He was able to get a tickets to Disney on Ice. Andrew LOVES Mickey Mouse so of course we had to take him. I think it is the first time he has actually sat and watched and enjoyed something of this nature!!! His attention span is all of about two minutes. It was a such a great family night and a great time. I was just thankful we didn't have to pay for tickets because you know how they have those spinney light up things, of course we can't say no to buying something so cool and ridiculously expensive for our little darling. Disney knows how to hit you coming and going. But totally worth it. I almost enjoyed watching Andrew's face more than I did the show.
