He offered to take Brooklynn to give me a break. I thought it was a great idea, but then decided I wanted to go too. Crazy I know. But I was dying to get out of the house. I've been pretty cooped up with a new baby. Besides, what a great chance to spend time with my sweetheart. My favorite time was when there was no cell service, and I had his complete attention!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9YBfBby0IKH9lYrZjmBzblsFQD31tXl9MKeJlK-7awWMNHCVlRz_q8QNvqn2doqAwX6vy7cGKWxt1bX4JbDomuMve2vQ49Nf-D_HkjRWCKjpSqSKb-gSPVdJYs0jN4Z_KC_2j5vajx9E/s1600/IMG_2174.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9YBfBby0IKH9lYrZjmBzblsFQD31tXl9MKeJlK-7awWMNHCVlRz_q8QNvqn2doqAwX6vy7cGKWxt1bX4JbDomuMve2vQ49Nf-D_HkjRWCKjpSqSKb-gSPVdJYs0jN4Z_KC_2j5vajx9E/s400/IMG_2174.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5527570923163802178" /></a><br />We left around 10:00 in the morning and didn't get home until around 9:30 at night. Just in time to see the first miner rescued. (Yee-Haw) The Tamarisk is a restaurant in Green River that Will and I discovered years ago. It overlooks the river, and is just charming and a little quirky. We try to stop by every time we go down.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiizzu0It1XP17Tu-QuQ49Xw34sElcLwufvWVtd91FPB_15YkeKCoQerJrVWzA5MBG6g9MTivsWRFhQVgLDG8DxXPdZqxJDEwrdeMFdm-HQbvjudU89QiT08_95uiOLlhcOUdShb8Py2O0/s1600/IMG_2177.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiizzu0It1XP17Tu-QuQ49Xw34sElcLwufvWVtd91FPB_15YkeKCoQerJrVWzA5MBG6g9MTivsWRFhQVgLDG8DxXPdZqxJDEwrdeMFdm-HQbvjudU89QiT08_95uiOLlhcOUdShb8Py2O0/s400/IMG_2177.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5527570913039186050" /></a><br />Brooklynn takes a break.

I can hardly believe it. He wanted to buy his own car, but we wanted him to save his money for college and a mission. We decided to buy a "family car" that he would have access to, but we had control over. He still has to pay for his insurance and gas. (we want him to be responsible)<br /><br />So we are on the hunt for the perfect vehicle. We would really love a natural gas or bi-fuel truck with four wheel drive. Finding one in the right price range without 200,000 miles on it has been the trick. We are not having much luck.<br /><br />We checked out this one last Saturday. Brennan was in love, but it was a HUGE truck. Longer than a suburban. We feared for mailboxes everywhere decided to keep looking. We are now checking out natural gas cars, too. Bren found a camero last night on-line that he also fell in love with. Will and I laughed. Yeah, right. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglJ4PVrXZCAhvNz3EMfW7LvKms46YBQ6q19ZzV6a4O86xzAvtPriGVRvXnKKB-KZb59g8yFvlxSkN0Kugl1Wc4KMlfZxAPFmqnagDRo8rWdqy4ks9snXwZVVQMIbaRGHZMY2tYYxaJW0A/s1600/IMG_2128.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglJ4PVrXZCAhvNz3EMfW7LvKms46YBQ6q19ZzV6a4O86xzAvtPriGVRvXnKKB-KZb59g8yFvlxSkN0Kugl1Wc4KMlfZxAPFmqnagDRo8rWdqy4ks9snXwZVVQMIbaRGHZMY2tYYxaJW0A/s400/IMG_2128.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5522755248991740146" /></a><br /><br />So I guess we will just keep looking.

I was excited to see how much she had grown. I was surprised and disappointed to find out that she still hasn't gotten back to her birth weight! She weighed in at 7 lbs. 4 ounces. 3 ounces less than when she was born. The Dr. didn't seem worried, but it stressed me out. Now I'm paranoid about how much and how often she is eating.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiEswWkPprEGNN58RwioSVqs1dt01N6PmxKJ3tcQ8MgQG2YX67pqr_7Cpoxm3H3u3GYh6CnXfDDPu-MJELT5YUl_iqTaY6m8Otcy1pa8Jnvo_IuEVhoFqNt-FG76tbDHCkpuwwmyWbWPo/s1600/IMG_2115.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiEswWkPprEGNN58RwioSVqs1dt01N6PmxKJ3tcQ8MgQG2YX67pqr_7Cpoxm3H3u3GYh6CnXfDDPu-MJELT5YUl_iqTaY6m8Otcy1pa8Jnvo_IuEVhoFqNt-FG76tbDHCkpuwwmyWbWPo/s400/IMG_2115.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521323919381723442" /></a><br />They did her PKU today.

Last week Will had the Grandma's watch Brookie when he was gone. This is my first week on my own. Not as easy as I hoped it would be. It is very hard to divide my attention between Emily and Brooklynn when I feel like they both need me all of the the time. Once the big kids get home it is even crazier. I'm sure we will adjust at some point, but it's pretty insane right now. Will had been amazing and has bent over backwards to help. I don't know what I would do without him. He is totally the best.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSg3FvNQ7KaVh-iYqRb2FDwIfDXo94STTMCpxnu_GHMYR91pP6PAzJWEetaiGNxt3tbPEV9vGC7RKlWz6EvL0ZqilsliHAh_V-ptUlHgl-iVgBUHrnM_7baI0QIgIPl6bAHTkOGrx3pJg/s1600/IMG_2102.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSg3FvNQ7KaVh-iYqRb2FDwIfDXo94STTMCpxnu_GHMYR91pP6PAzJWEetaiGNxt3tbPEV9vGC7RKlWz6EvL0ZqilsliHAh_V-ptUlHgl-iVgBUHrnM_7baI0QIgIPl6bAHTkOGrx3pJg/s400/IMG_2102.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519796105820988034" /></a><br />My sweet little Emily.Treasure Hunterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09031417432241002735noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6607669262175126664.post-89585084733322195662010-09-14T21:13:00.001-07:002010-09-16T14:37:44.956-07:00One Week Ago<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFHOiZenl5Hlf8quasjY0x9PhJX9z-1e7OgfdoOuEeZgDqzl8eLn9_zFAhAj_Mo2iPEGyrnnlsNQvy85jl159BgkfnKEf-hVKinaVNoh2thWFMxZwmpIrYWWydZhTIqEtfh4luEmrDWRk/s1600/IMG_2076.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFHOiZenl5Hlf8quasjY0x9PhJX9z-1e7OgfdoOuEeZgDqzl8eLn9_zFAhAj_Mo2iPEGyrnnlsNQvy85jl159BgkfnKEf-hVKinaVNoh2thWFMxZwmpIrYWWydZhTIqEtfh4luEmrDWRk/s400/IMG_2076.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516993577888838514" /></a><br />One week ago today my sweet little Emily arrived. On Labor Day I decided to have all my wonderful children "labor" and do a little last minute house cleaning. We scrubbed and cleaned, and washed and painted. It was a busy day. As we went to bed that night Will said, "tonight would NOT be a good time for you to go into labor."<br /><br />So when I woke up at 1:00 in the morning with a killer contraction, I let Will sleep. The contractions kept coming, but they were totally not normal. The were all very hard, but completely random. Some were 15 minutes apart, some 20 and one was even 40 minutes apart. <br /><br />In the morning I called the Dr. and told him about my night. He told me to go to the hospital and have them check me out. We weren't sure about going since I wasn't really in labor, and the hospital was a ways away. My contractions even stopped once I was up walking around. But we threw the car seat and my bag in the car and went anyway. <br /><br />Once there, they checked me. I was a 4 and %80. They decided to keep me. Will and I were both a little bit in shock. I have not been anywhere close to 9 days early. They put me on the lowest dose of pit, and less than two hours later Emily was here! We were still in shock! I think her labor made up for Brennan's 28 and a half hour labor. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC3E_lz6Zyn0eD5wPDj-3n-VKbRM3bFNwYQqvukCd_mC9viPYfYhOIoeWzfFfNxmdKeUHWRV_E7ftreMZfkKcyhTQ0irH7wtjWbBjpJHALpc7CJb5oBiZh2Cqt8AniQRDZelz7UKrWq6o/s1600/IMG_2054.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC3E_lz6Zyn0eD5wPDj-3n-VKbRM3bFNwYQqvukCd_mC9viPYfYhOIoeWzfFfNxmdKeUHWRV_E7ftreMZfkKcyhTQ0irH7wtjWbBjpJHALpc7CJb5oBiZh2Cqt8AniQRDZelz7UKrWq6o/s400/IMG_2054.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516988870290639986" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIfnpaoMODbCQCYtRf_zL8KeRIiv6VfKH1Ee3h4zbbuBDhsRqSJO72aMjw1BiiY1S2pk00GwfK8BRfwLUKov3ryzgW6n7FdxBrl2O6C3FruDLlb2cmS-D94koPGFN0D-A3R9elEogQ6F8/s1600/IMG_2042.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIfnpaoMODbCQCYtRf_zL8KeRIiv6VfKH1Ee3h4zbbuBDhsRqSJO72aMjw1BiiY1S2pk00GwfK8BRfwLUKov3ryzgW6n7FdxBrl2O6C3FruDLlb2cmS-D94koPGFN0D-A3R9elEogQ6F8/s400/IMG_2042.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516992752687278738" /></a><br />All the kids came up to see her.

I can't wait to be done and hold my little sweetheart.<br /><br />It is supposed to be 100 degrees today. UG! <br /><br />I am running my errands early to try to avoid the heat.<br /><br />Last night was a tough one. I think I had more contractions than ever before with this pregnancy. I might have gotten excited, but I don't come early. At least not 3weeks early. It made for a sleepless night. <br /><br />But I'll hang onto my "2" and keep smiling.<br /><br /><br /><br />P.s. does anyone know how to get ride of this dumb photobucket thingy that has popped up?

Soon the rain came in. Hard and fast. I sat on the couch and watched it pound down. It was awesome. It seemed like a gift from Heaven. The days have been hot and long, not to mention uncomfortable. It was so soothing to hear the rain pound down, and just relax. It has been hard to keep my spirits up all the time when I am so miserable, so this was a nice change.<br /><br />My Dr.'s apt. went well. Our little one is head down and looking good. It just seems like forever before she will get here. The Dr. didn't check to see if I was dialated. Not that I really wanted to go through the fun of that, I just was hoping for some sign of progress. Each night I get a contraction every time I roll over. (which is a lot!) My carpal tunnel is getting worse, and even though I am wearing the ugly spints on my wrists all day and night, I am still waking up with tingling and pain. I am so ready to be done!! <br /><br />I am teaching the lesson on Job this week in Sunday school. Ironic timing. It's a good reminder for me.Treasure Hunterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09031417432241002735noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6607669262175126664.post-84606917617386375702010-08-17T08:47:00.001-07:002010-08-17T09:01:17.500-07:00StuffAs I was catching up with everyone's blogs this morning, I realized that it has been 11 days since I posted. I still can't download pictures on the computer, and the laptop is still dead. So, I guess I will update without pic's. Just use your imagination!<br /><br />Right now I am killing time waiting to go to my Dr.'s appointment. Today should be our final ultra-sound. I am hoping everything looks good. They have been worried about my placenta being low lying. I would also love to hear again that we are having a girl. Somehow, I don't think that a boy would appreciate the pink and white room I've prepared for this new babe.<br /><br />We went to Brennan's hockey game last night. Soon after it started he got a stick to the neck. I of course screamed involuntarily. He got up, skated off the ice, rubbing his neck, but seemed okay. I had a huge pit in my stomach for the rest of the game. I have never really been worried about his safety before last night. It stinks. He played well, and after the game showed us his awful mark on his neck. My baby! I don't think hockey games are good places for preggo mommies. I am just way too emotional! <br /><br />School starts soon, and I can hardly wait. McKinley will be starting Jr. High and Brennan will be starting High School. How on earth did this happen?? Well I'm off to get ready for the Dr.'s appointment. Wish me luck. I'll let you know how it goes.Treasure Hunterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09031417432241002735noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6607669262175126664.post-10289574123497885372010-08-06T09:07:00.000-07:002010-08-06T09:31:39.299-07:00What's upWow! It has been a long time. Sorry I've been MIA, things have been crazy, and my laptop is toast, so I'll have to wait to download some pic's. Here are some of the things I've been up to....<br /><br />1. Driving down to St. George, arriving at 1:30 A.M. only to find someone else sleeping in the condo a friend was letting us use! We ended up checking into a motel (yuck) around two in the morning. It was about 91 degrees outside, and when I walked into the room I was hit with a blast of heat. It must have been at least 110 degrees, seriously! Not a good night.<br /><br />2. I went to my Twenty-Year High School reunion last week being hugely pregnant, and the size of a bus. Nothing like looking your best for a reunion! (I almost didn't go, but decided I didn't care if I was effecting the gravitational pull of the earth, I would go anyhow. I'm glad I did.)<br /><br />3. Went to Moab with Will for work. Long drive, but the company couldn't be beat! We almost ran out of gas in the middle of nowhere, and it was HOT! Thank goodness for small miracles.<br /><br />4. Watched Brennan play in two Varsity Hockey games. He looked great! (Pictures to come!)<br /><br />5. Had the ceiling fan break, my bed break, a flood in the basement due to a busted pipe, (carpet is still ripped up) and two cars in the shop. <br /><br />6. Dealing with carpal tunnel in both my wrists due to the pregnancy. I have to wear splints on both all day and night. Not a whole lot of fun. It hit 4th of July weekend, so I've been wearing them for over a month now. They are so pretty! Also, if I paint my feet green, I think I could be a foot double for the next Shrek movie. By the end of the day they are huge. Seriously ginormous. Ah the joys of pregnancy.<br /><br />7. Counting days, only 40 more!Treasure Hunterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09031417432241002735noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6607669262175126664.post-82841421191383677332010-07-21T07:19:00.001-07:002010-07-21T07:28:42.068-07:00Great News!Wow!

They had fun picking out the paint, curtains and bedspreads. It was a good bonding experience for two girls who wern't sure that they wanted to share a room. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7okqj7ggyCkgJfFimzdDFTx3qvchq2CjJSfjZYoy_BjSaKAmXp2LVZJ90N5uAo5yqPg9NrgXzqu8eIAEAF5le8gYuHoThBpKUDdUPeT4mFK-MpA3i15mIF-LNbRufkwu8ltG5JExJIcg/s1600/DSC00093.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7okqj7ggyCkgJfFimzdDFTx3qvchq2CjJSfjZYoy_BjSaKAmXp2LVZJ90N5uAo5yqPg9NrgXzqu8eIAEAF5le8gYuHoThBpKUDdUPeT4mFK-MpA3i15mIF-LNbRufkwu8ltG5JExJIcg/s400/DSC00093.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494298758286610754" /></a><br />This room is Brookie's and the babies.

The almost finished product.

That is much easier said than done. This was Ashlyn and Brooklynn's room. As of last night at midnight it was lime green. All the kids stayed up and helped us. After we painted, we had to move the furniture back in the room so we could function. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtskWIBD6ENZf3iExVE0Iitlak2QOJQQ_AF_iL9xm24Qrumkd16AbpeFg6FAVv4xrvYrZ0KoGB6BprlBELzbzviokxj1YVWtIaLT_oR_w4ZVMgXBCkry98LXeRQNXxQw1kYIyLNXakvxU/s1600/DSC00087.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtskWIBD6ENZf3iExVE0Iitlak2QOJQQ_AF_iL9xm24Qrumkd16AbpeFg6FAVv4xrvYrZ0KoGB6BprlBELzbzviokxj1YVWtIaLT_oR_w4ZVMgXBCkry98LXeRQNXxQw1kYIyLNXakvxU/s400/DSC00087.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5491922987529512914" /></a><br />This is McKinley's old room. It used to be bright yellow, but now is pink with white stripes. The baby and Brookie will stay here. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiz5Lyu_u3SlWmVHGqTzzSJDoyWXSQjXgBmGJ0iWVOdW6hOZ3h7XAZQ8LM6yvSccyTYiWZVaRLIz6RC40UOTWVn8ufVc5lNytrAcYgmGoM4xYyxHN4PxHg_GlypCYjL3-By_rZOqOvtQMg/s1600/DSC00040.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiz5Lyu_u3SlWmVHGqTzzSJDoyWXSQjXgBmGJ0iWVOdW6hOZ3h7XAZQ8LM6yvSccyTYiWZVaRLIz6RC40UOTWVn8ufVc5lNytrAcYgmGoM4xYyxHN4PxHg_GlypCYjL3-By_rZOqOvtQMg/s400/DSC00040.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5491922978598880930" /></a><br />I totally underestimated the work it would be to do the stripes, but now that they are done, I'm very happy with it. (although I think we used about 5 miles worth of painting tape.) <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ2-5ld3i_BuuBZ8TPL1iqiVaCiFXHqWYhlyyaS8CH0p_q6SdGA1-WxLfDmqgDsGA6J_LJqAziDCk2GbBLFIqkYjf_KNtXaj3fU3EBdwuPMx_aqIoK8o9ctU56pG-rFNWXYVGWDAsG830/s1600/DSC00086.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ2-5ld3i_BuuBZ8TPL1iqiVaCiFXHqWYhlyyaS8CH0p_q6SdGA1-WxLfDmqgDsGA6J_LJqAziDCk2GbBLFIqkYjf_KNtXaj3fU3EBdwuPMx_aqIoK8o9ctU56pG-rFNWXYVGWDAsG830/s400/DSC00086.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5491922978369547938" /></a><br />We are still living in a construction zone, but it is getting better. I need to put up curtains in both rooms, and add the hot pink polka dots to the green room for the "big girls." (We already have the hot pink curtains.) <br /><br />So that is my last week in a nut shell. I have neglected everything else! My laundry pile is almost to the ceiling! Hopefully the rooms will be complete soon and I'll post the final pic's. Happy Friday!<br /><br />......McKinley get's home from girls camp today. I have really missed her. It is just not the same without her here. I hope she likes her room.Treasure Hunterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09031417432241002735noreply@blogger.com0
