Do These Shorts Make Me Look Fat?

The answer is...yes! I didn't even have to ask my 4-year old that question. As I was cleaning out the drawers in my boys bedroom, Brayden came walking in. I was standing, turned away from him, when he walked by and said "Mommy, why is your butt so big?" I really thought that I didn't hear him right, so I said "What?" Well, he repeated it again. I think I stood there with my mouth open, dumbfounded for a minute! I couldn't believe he said that!
Well, I guess it's time to face the facts. I have gained a lot more weight this pregnancy & gained it in places that I never knew I could gain it before! So, there you have it. I really AM bigger & showing a lot sooner this time than with my other kids. So, I wonder if that means that I'm really going to have to work myself out to death to get this weight off, and get my bum back to it's normal, small size? I hope not! So, I just want to thank Brayden for giving me a reality check! I just love how honest kids can be...or not!

Back to School!

Wow! School has started! I can't believe how fast the summer went by!
Dylan is now in 2nd grade. His teacher is Mrs. McLean. When he and I went to the open house last week to meet his teacher, we couldn't find his classroom. Finally, after circling the school twice, we found out that his classroom is in a trailer this year. Darn...a new school and Dylan gets to be in the trailer. Well, at least the trailer is new! Anyways, he's really excited about going back. He's been counting down the days! Now...how to keep Brayden and Zoey entertained while he's gone?!!

Happy Anniversary!

On August 7th, Tyler and I celebrated our 9th anniversary! I can't believe it's already been 9 years! I was thinking back to how we met. Here's the scoop:
Tyler and I met at a pretty hip dance club in Provo, called "The Edge." I was 17, he was 16. (Yes, I robbed the cradle.) My friend actually met him first and thought he was pretty hot. I agreed. We hung out for years as friends and even though we both secretly really liked each other, just stayed friends until after our missions.
Tyler went on his mission to Jamaica and I went off a short time later to Brasil. He had a girlfriend at the time and I was hoping that she would find somebody else while he was gone, then he'd come home, date me, get married, and we'd live happily ever after! Guess what? My plan worked! Tyler and I wrote to each other during our missions. His parents even wrote me and said that they wanted him to marry ME! Wow, was I excited?!!
He proposed to me and 3 months later we were married and sealed in the Salt Lake Temple! We now have 3 beautiful children with one more on the way.
I want to tell Ty how much I love and appreciate him! I'm so lucky to have him as a husband and as the father of our children. He's such a beautiful person inside and out, and I still think he is just as hot today as he was the day I met him...actually he's hotter!!! Love you Ty!

Have You Heard The News???

If not, here it is:
I'm pregnant, and am having a.......BOY!!! Can you believe it? We found out on Tyler's birthday what we are having. I'll have to admit, I was a little disappointed. I really wanted a girl so that Zoey could have a sister, but that's ok. As long as he's healthy, that's what's important.
My due date is December 10th, but I'll probably have him before that. I told the doctor that my babies come really quick, so he told me I can be induced up to a week early.
Anyways, just wanted to share with all of you!
Have a great week!
