Crew is 3

Birthdays are so much funner when you are little.  I think I was more excited for Crew's Birthday than he was.  I just can't believe how fast the past 3 years have gone by.  Crew is so funny, tender hearted, such a protective big brother to Kade.  He loves Costco pizza, horses, tractors, playing in the dirt, loves his family and cousins.  I feel so lucky to call him mine.

Jason was working and so the boys and I left our house and went and fed the ducks by our house first.

They both love throwing bread to them.  It was all fun until the ducks came out of the lake and came chasing after us, that's not so fun!

I was then planning on taking them to the Children's Museum, then to the Splash pad right next door. We got to the Museum and it is closed on Monday, so we went straight to the Splash Pad.  My boys both love it there.  We've been making this a habit to go once a week.

Then we went and rode the Carousel...

Yes Crew has a black eye... it's so sad.  That's a whole other story of it's own.

Then we met Dad at Judd's for some lunch.  We then went home so Kade could have his much needed nap.  We splurged for dinner and took him to Costco to get pizza and a smoothie.  It was the simplest day, yet such a fun day.  He was so happy.  We stopped at a friend's house on the way home from Costco and surprised him with his Birthday Cake.  He is obsessed with the Disney movie "Planes" so he was so excited when he saw his cake.

Then we invited his cousins over, and my friend Amber and her little girl Kambria, came over for cake and ice cream. 

Such a fun day.  He was so happy all day long.  He loves holding up 3 fingers now whenever anyone asks him how old he is.  

Heather took these pictures of Crew and I absolutely love them...

This one is my favorite...

Kade's 18 Months Pictures

We took Kade out last night for his 18 Month photo shoot.  He's really 19 months, but better late than never.  

This boy is a complete ham.  He is so busy.  I get tired just watching him, it doesn't help that I'm 6 months pregnant trying to chase 2 little busy boys.

Kade loves to dance, laugh, read books, play with Crew.  He loves yogurt, chicken nuggets, and all fruits.  He has the best laugh, and his smile is so contagious.  It's so fun watching his personality come out more every day.  Crew and Kade have recently started wrestling a lot, and I was at first feeling bad for Kade since he's smaller.  However, the more I watch, he instigates it every time.  

He is such a handsome devil, but I love him to pieces.

3 BOYS

We are expecting our third baby in May of 2015.  We are so excited to add another baby to our family.  A little scared, I've heard how the third one always throws everything off.  You're outnumbered.  Well ready or not we will go to a party of 5 in May!! 

I went to my OB for just my annual exam, and I knew I was ovulating, and we were trying.  I told Dr Kvarfordt I would see him in ten weeks and we both just laughed.  Sure enough I was back ten weeks later for my first baby appointment.  

Jason is still sad I took the pregnancy test without him.  He was there on the other two boys and I wanted to surprise him.  I waited for him to go to work, then took the test.  I wasn't too surprised.  It doesn't take us long.  So when Jason came home for work I had this out on the kitchen counter.

I ordered this shirt online for Kade to wear.  He wore this to go tell Grandma and Grandpa in town and Jason's sisters.  I sent this picture via text to my siblings.  He's just a baby himself.  Crew and Kade are 15 months apart, and Kade and the next baby will be 22 months apart.

Well long story short Jason ended up working Children's Place for Black Friday.  The managers there love him.  It's a sign we shop way too much.  The pay is lousy, but having the employee discount is why we decided for him to work!  I would be 14 weeks along, and if by chance we were having a girl we would need that discount to buy half the store.  So we went to Las Vegas to a place called "Miracle in Progress" to just do a gender reveal.  We found out we were having another BOY!!! I felt sad for a few minutes but it didn't last long.  I love my boys and can't wait to see what this one will look like.  I always said if this one was a boy I would probably try one more time for a girl... but now I just don't know.  Part of me feels like I am getting to old to keep having babies.  I will be 33 when I deliver this one, but 10 days later I turn 34.  This pregnancy has been really hard.  I have been more nauseous.  I take zofran and every night I take diclegis just so I can sleep.  My body aches and I have no energy.  Having 3 kids in 3 years takes a toll on you.  I've been told by lots of my clients who have experienced having babies in their 20's and 30's saying it's significantly harder in your 30's.  Depressing.  So I am trying to enjoy this pregnancy more just in case it is our last one. 

I haven't taken any pictures of me really during this pregnancy.  You just don't feel pretty when your pregnant, well at least I don't.  I feel frumpy and hate how I get a double chin right when I get pregnant.  This was taken on my 20th week! I am half way done.

As of right now we are loving the name Colton, and will just call him "Cole" for short.
