HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRAD!!!

HOORAY!!! It was my handsome husbands birthday on May 24th. He is seriously so much FUN! He is such and old man now! HA HA. We are going on a trip to CA next month so he just said that he didnt want much for his birthday. He still got money from my parents and a gift card from Arlee. He is in love with the Nintendo Wii so I guess he will be buying the new Wii fit with his money. I didnt completely pass on his birthday. I got him a really cute outfit that of course he wont wear together because it is too outfitty. He loves everything separate though, so really it is like 2 new outfits. :) I was planning to get him an electric scooter but most of them have weight limits and I swear they make them for 3 year olds. Seriously a 200 pound limit....... He has been dying that he is slowly approaching 200lbs and convinced he will be there soon so I didnt get him the scooter. He really wanted to go hiking but the weather was so yucky all weekend so I am sure he will talk me into it this weekend. We got him a yummy ice cream cake which I ate most of :). He really did like it though. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABE!!!! I hope you had one of the best days ever! I love you!

Playing Princess with Grandma

One of Bostyns very BEST FRIENDS is her grandma. She really loves her to death and I am sure you can see why. If only I would have had my video camera.... my mom would be so embarrassed. Bostyn always tries to convince everyone to dress up with her. Well, as you can see, she succeeded with my mom this weekend. Not only did she get my mom to dress up they danced around for a good fifteen minutes. And when I say dance, I mean dance. My mom was doing toe touches, prancing around, and doing ballet with Bostyn. They had a blast. I am so glad that my mom is active with the grandkids and enjoys her time with them. She has a special relationship with each of them and we all love her so much.

More Chicken At The District!!!

Okay so Brad has been counting down the days until the Chic-Fil-A by our house opened. I called and told him it was open on Thursday and we met there for dinner on my way home. I swear we got better service there than any restaurant and it was so clean. They even had their mascot cow there and of course Bostyn loved it. I am sure that Brad will be spending ALOT of time there. I think we have eaten there 6 times since Friday. I guess he wont be the only person there 5 out of the 6 days of the week it is open. Apparently they gave free meals for a year away to the first 100 guests. I am so glad that Brad didnt know about that, or else I would be in for a real treat. If your out that way and feel like Chic-Fil-A give us a call, I am sure Brad wont turn down the offer.

Gateway Fountains

I swear Bostyn is a social little fish! Arlee and I took her to the fountains at the Gateway and she absolutely loved it. She ran around with all of the kids and made alot of new friends. She didnt get a nap all day so she got a little ornery at the end. I thought she would be a little afraid of the water shooting up but she would stand right over them and give a shriek every time it shot her in the face. She is so funny! Bridger and Brinley brought Cash and Jade down also so Bostyn was of course excited to see them. Brad came and picked her up and it was off to nap time from there and I headed back to work. If you are bored and want to get out the fountains are so fun and good people watching too! :)

Summer is FINALLY here!!!

We are all so excited that it is FINALLY warm outside. Bostyn had such a fun time playing outside while Brad and I did yard work. We bought her this playard that you hook the hose to and it has a slide on it. She has so much fun, and as you can imagine we attracted all of the neighborhood kids that thought it looked super fun as well. I really wanted to try and get some sun but I just ended up sitting in the shade visiting with everyone. Brad, of course was right on the middle of it with the kids. Bostyn loves him so much. I am so glad that he is active with her and loves doing so. It gives me a nice break and it is so sweet to watch them play. Bostyn now thinks that she gets to play in the water everyday. She is definitely a party animal like her dad. I hope everyone else is enjoying the warm weather. Now the decision is.... season tickets to Lagoon again this year or switch it up for Raging Waters. Stay tuned for the decision.

JAZZ games!

Okay so I have been lured into JAZZ fever. All of the guys that I work with are so into the Jazz and it is basically all I hear about during the season. When they made it to the playoffs, they convinced me that I should buy some tickets on my own and try to sell them. After Brad learned that I had tickets he decided that we should just go. Our first game was against the Rockets. It was so much fun and some good people watchin. Brad even got me a Boozer jersey so I am really a fan now. We went to 2 lakers games as well. Yes, we were at the game where they lost. It sucked, but at least we were able to go. The very last game, Arlee decided that she wanted to go because of all of the hype that I had been giving it. We went to the ESA and got her a Williams jersey. As we were leaving the Jazz players were leaving practice and we got a few pictures of them. It was really fun and I am so glad that we were able to go. I love having nights out with Brad. We both missed Bostyn and would talk about her the whole time we were gone, but it is nice to be out alone as well.

Happy Mother's Day!!!

I am so proud to be the mother of this sweet little girl! She makes my day all day every day. She and Brad are what make my life complete. She is growing up and learning so many new things everyday. It amazes me the new words that she says when we are having a conversation and even uses them in the right context. She constantly hugs me and tells me how much she loves me and makes me feel like I am the most important person in her life. I hope that she is just returning the feelings that she knows I have for her. I cant think of anything that I would rather be doing in my life than being the mother to this little princess. On Mothers Day, she made me the cutest little picture in Primary and kept telling me Happy Birthday all day. We even got an ice cream cake that day and sang Happy Birthday. Bostyn and Cash were in heaven just knowing that they got cake. Brad is taking me to CA in June and he also got me a filing cabinet that I have been wanting. I know it doesnt sound so sweet. But, what I love about Brad is he will listen for things that I actually want but wont buy myself and then I am always overly surprised and excited about the present. Thanks Brad and Bostyn for a wonderful Mothers Day.
Now on to my mom. We got to spend the day at their house on Mothers Day. I am so thankful for my mom and all of the things that she has taught me in life. She is such a great mother to my siblings and I. We always used to argue about who her favorite was, and each of us thought it was us. I guess thats how you know you are a successful parent, when you have made all of your children feel that special in their own little way. My mom is one of my very best friends and I love her more than anything. She always knows what to say, and when to say it and has taught me how to be a great mom as well. She is also the best Grandma and loves all of her grandchildren so much. I am so grateful that she and Bostyn have such a special relationship. Thanks mom for all that you do and have done for me.
Next is Brads mom. We love her so much and I am so grateful for the example that she is to her children. She and Jerry have such strong testimonies and have always encouraged their children to follow them. She puts up with Brad even though he can be a pain at times. Thanks Nancy for all that you have done for us.
I also want to wish both of my Grandmas a Happy Mothers Day. I am so thankful for the way that they raised my parents. I am so happy that I have a great relationship with both of them. I am grateful that Bostyn has a chance to spend time with them and loves them so much.
Happy Mothers Day to all of you!
Oh and bonus on Mothers Day!!! A win for the JAZZ! GO JAZZ! I will have some pictures coming soon. Brad and I have gone to 2 of the playoff games and boy are they fun!

Bradleystiltskin

Arent these pictures so funny? We were at my parents house and Arlee and I were in the garage, and came across these construction stilts. I am not sure if this is the professional name for them but oh well. So, I decided that I wanted Arlee to try them on. She did so good and even managed to get up the stairs on them. She almost fell and rather than reaching for something like a chair to catch her, she reached for the ceiling. I laughed so hard I almost peed my pants. Can you imagine being so tall that the only thing available to catch you from falling is the ceiling. I felt like a little mischievous kid. Then, after she got inside my husband (kid stuck in a mans body) decided he needed to try it. He was actually pretty good, but said that he has a whole new respect for the Jazz Bear. If you havent seen him, he puts stilts on twice his size and can walk VERY good with them. Not only that, he can climb a ladder and get the crowd on their feet. Now I know what it would feel like to be married to a man twice my height. I really wanted to give it a try but figured that wouldnt be good if I fell. Look forward to pictures after I am done with this pregnancy! :)

Helping Uncle Bridger With His Yard

Yesterday Bostyn got to go over and visit baby Jade and ride int he wheelbarrow with Cash. I swear the more I try to make her so girly- she turns against me. She loves to get dirty, play with bugs, and throw rocks. I wonder who she gets this from. While Bostyn was in the wheelbarrow she had an accident. She has been doing so good but I guess the ride was more fun than going potty. She peed all over the rocks, and left Bridger a puddle of pee. She had to go home and change and hopefully learned a lesson. :) Bridger got to take some time off and stay home with Brinley, Cash, and the new baby. I guess you cant really call it time off because as you can see he has still been just as busy. Bostyn is so excited that it is finally warm outside- hopefully it will stay so that we can spend more time outside getting dirty!

Its a..........

BABY!

We are so excited to announce that we are pregnant! Brad and I cant even explain how excited we are to have another child! It is so hard for me to think about loving another baby like I love Bostyn but I have heard it just happens. Speaking of Bostyn, she is so excited! I have of course taught her that it is a "sista", then when you ask her what we are going to name her she says, "brotha". She is so cute, and will be a great BIG sister. She already lifts up my shirt and kisses my belly and says that it is her baby. It was so different this time around because we were so excited to tell our families. Of course it was different circumstances, and everyone was so excited. Brad just blurted it out to his parents, and they were of course ecstatic. I, with the help of my sister and sister-in-law made Chinese dinner for my parents. Then, for dessert we had fortune cookies. I had pulled all of the fortunes out and replaced them with ones that said, "Ten tiny fingers, Ten tiny toes, Boy or Girl, no one knows. My dad was the first to open it and he just smiled... well after opening 3 because he didnt believe it. My mom said, "Danica is this you?" As if my nine month pregnant sister-in-law would have such an announcement, or my unmarried sister. She was excited after the initial shock.

As you can see we have been to the doctor. The baby is scheduled to come November 9, 2008. I have been so sick and have even lost a little weight. YAY! I am sure it will find me in the next few weeks! I was hoping for another C-section but my doctor wants me to try regular. Has anyone done this? I am so nervous! Anyway, there are all the details of our pending arrival. I cant wait to find out what it is. I am sure you can guess that I want a girl, Brad wants a boy, Drew wants a brother, and Bostyn is just going to be happy with a baby!
