School dayz

My boys are getting so big I can hardly stand it. Logan is now in the 2nd grade and is still in the chinese program and doing amazing. He is such a great kid and is enjoying school so much. London just started his 2 year in the preschool and couldn't be happier. lol. His birthday falls a month after the dead line so he is going to be the oldest in class and he loves that idea. All I have heard about all summer is when his school was going to start. He loves it. I have to admit that I love it too. Gives Liam and I time to spend together and when Bella gets here it will give me a chance with her alone as well. Liam is getting so big and becoming a great talker. I love listening to him. The top pic I just had to add becuase he kept going down the twisty slide backwards and half way through the slide would flip around. Linc and I laughed so hard every time he did it. He cracks me up. These boys are my everything.

Bella's room

I am finally finished with Bella's room. I am so excited with how it has turned out. I tried doing her room as cheaply as I could and I think I pulled it off. To start off the first pick is of the car seat cover I made for her. I'm trying to girl up all my old stuff. lol. The next picture is of the pettiskirt I made for Bella, I had so much fun making it. I also made the flower. The pillows on either side of the skirt I made. I ordered an extra yard of fabric from the company I ordered her bedding from becuase I had a few ideas for it and the pillows were on of the ideas. I went to hobby Lobby and found the perfect poka dot fabric.








I have been making bracletts like crazy. They are so much fun to make. Lincoln keeps teasing me saying that they better be disposable becuase she has so many.

























Here is a tutu I have made for her as well, I have made 4 of them already. lol. again they are so much fun to make. The picture frame next to it I had and just sprayed it black and used some of the fabric to put inside just to add a little something to it.













I have been making a ton of binki holders as well. Again they are so much to make. and it's better then spending $20 on each one.






The top few pictures are of her hair bow holder that I am going to hang behind to door. I have made most of those as well. Another good way to saving a ton of money. The picture with the shelf, that hangs above her changing table (linc didn't take a pic of?) The frames were old and I just sprayed them black as well and most of the decor on top.

I took some leftover fabric and recovered a boppy so that it would match her room and the chandelier is from a garage sell, my mom found. the stairs leading up to the bed are old as well I just painted them and mod podged the fabric on it and painted the trim black to match.










































































This frame I did the same thing I did to the stairs. (they both used to be sage with animals on them). The lamp shade I made to match as well. Boy and I glad I ordered a extra yard. I looked forever to find the perfect lamp and found a few that I thought would work my they were $75 and I was not about to spend that much to I just made one myself. I found an old lamp base in the shed and sprayed it black and then just put the fabric around and bought some trim.

The rocking chair in the room used to be sage green as well so I recovered that in black to match.

I have had so much fun doing this room for her. Gave me something to do to make this time go a little faster. I just can't wait to layer in her bed. =) The boys love her room. Liam keeps going in there and saying "cute" London loves going in there and telling me how much Bella is going to love it. These boys already love her so much. I hope she knows how much we love her already and can't wait to have her join our family. and trust me I am far from done on crafting for her. Making girl things is a blast.

(okay now since I am so not good with a computer I know the writting and pictures are not adding up and I can'[t figure out how to fix it. lol. )

My Boys

Well we finally went and took some pictures of the boys. Let me tell you, it was a pain in the butt. Liam was the biggest pain of all. he was running all over the place. But i think it went okay and we got a few.

Taylorsville dayzz

We love living right across the street from Taylorsville dayzz. Every year we just walk across and enjoy the crazy cool fireworks. We always have the best time. This year our friends The Stewart's came with us. All the kids get a long so well, well I guess with the exeption of Cameron and Liam. lol. Cameron likes to playfully hit liam and liam doesn't like it at all. It is quit funny until liam is screaming and driving everyone nuts.

Liam's 2nd Birthday

It's a little late but I thought I would post about Liam's 2nd Birthday. I can hardly believe my little guy is already 2. He has been my little cuddle buddy. For his birthday I decided I just wanted to keep it simple. So we took him to the zoo. He loved it. He is so in love with animals. Any time we even see a dog he has to go over and hug the dog. It is so freaking cute. I think all the boys had a great time. Afterward we came home and had some of LIam's buzz and woody cakes. He was freaking out about them being buzz and woody. Toy Story is his favorite. I can't wait to take him to toy story this weekend. :)

Liam you have been such a joy in my life. I can't imagine one day with out you. Thank you for everything you are to me and making me smile everyday.

Love you.

Blessed

I didn't know if I wanted to post this or not but I thought I would feel better writting down my feelings. Yesterday I had an appt. for the baby. I went in as usual and she was measuring perfect and then when the doctor went to hear her heart beat he couldn't find anything. He tried for a good 5 min. Looking all over my belly and nothing. I can't explain the emotions that were flooding my at that point. We rushed over to ultrasound to see what we could see, there on the screen was my beautiful baby girl only her heart was beating so slow. When we listened to it right away I was panicked and then when I saw the doctor's face I knew something was wrong. Her heart was beating between 104-120 bpm. Which is low. I at that point shut down I couldn't think, I didn't want to move, I didn't know what to say. The doctor told me he was really concerned and need me back in the morning and they would look at her again. As I walked out of the office I called Lincoln and just cried and told him what had just happened. We both were in panic mode. I asked him to please find someone to come and meet me at the house for a blessing. I knew that would be the best thing for me. I need to calm down. The thoughts of losing my baby girl were all over me. All I could think about was how long I have waited for her. I keep trying to tell myself to have faith, but in that moment it was hard to find it. Lincoln rushed home to be with me and help me with the boys because the doctor told me to stay down until tomorrow. Soon after Lincoln was home one of his friends from the office showed up to help give the blessing. Lincoln asked if his friend could give the blessing because he was to emotionally involed. The blessing was beautiful and helped with a bit of peace, but I was still feeling scared. Afterward I came upstairs and stayed in bed all day. I am so lucky to have Lincoln here to help me with the boys. The boys were so sweet and keep coming up and checking on me.

The rest of the night all I tried to do was think of other things to keep my mind off of what was going on. I said a prayer and actually felt pretty good after it was over and I took that as a good sign. Heavenly Father knows what is best for me. When I woke up all I wanted to do was get into the doctor and see my baby and to know what was going on. Lincoln came with me this time and we were both so nervous, I couldn't stop shacking. The Doctor walked into the room and said that he was thinking about me and worrying about the baby and said he was hoping that he was just over reacting yesterday. I started crying before the ultrasound even started. The moment she was on the screen you could see her little heart beating and right at that moment you could tell she was okay. Her heart was beating perfectly. She was up to 165 bpm again. Which is normal. I started crying such a wave a relief rushed all over me. I love listening to her heart it sounded so much better then yesterday. The doctor checked her again and again to make sure she looked great and she did. I am going back in 2 weeks to make sure she stays the same.

I think I experienced one of the worst 24 hours of my life. The thought of not knowing what was going on and knowing if something was wrong I couldn't comfort her. I am so truly blessed and grateful to have her in my life and I already love this little girl with all of my heart. Going through what Lincoln and I went through yesterday day really makes you think of everything that is truly important in life and what really matters. I am so blessed with an amazing husband and 3 wonderful little boys and my little girl who I can't wait to meet.

Before I got pregnant with her I was having a hard time getting pregnant and asked lincoln for a blessing. In the blessing I was promised that I would have a little girl. I didn't know when but I knew I would raise a daughter. For our baby's name we are naming her Bella. I was looking up this name and in Hebrew it mean's "god's promise". I thought it was very fitting for her.

I am so grateful for the gospel in my life and to know that I can turn to my heavenly Father. I know that he knows what is best for me and what I can handle and I really am grateful for the experience that I did face recently.

IT'S A............

I am so overwhelmed with emotions right now. There are no words to express how I feel. Last night I went with my mom, sister and a friend to find out the sex of the baby. I was so nervous. I didn't tell anyone I was going, I wanted it to be a surprise. Lincoln knew but he is out of town. The moment she told me it was a girl I could not stop crying. I could hardly look at the screen. When I did and saw my sweet baby she was moving all over the place and opening and closing her mouth. It was the cutest thing I have ever seen. Telling my boys we were have a girl was way to much fun as well. They boys are so excited and just keep telling me of all the things they are going to make her. Infact London is drawing her a picture right now. I am so happy that they are so happy about it. I just can't wait to see her. I know Heavenly father has blessed me in so many ways. I am so grateful to have the gospel in my life and the knowledge of my eternal family.
