Some more pictures of our family

Our big news!!!!

Hi everyone. Well, if you don't know yet, we are expecting a new addition to our family. We waited until I was well into my second trimester to tell anyone (we didn't want to jinx it). Jason and I didn't even talk much about it until now, we have had a lot of almosts. With this being my 7th pregnancy and one being Spencer, we have been really cautious about everything. But now we know it's another BOY!!! Yeah, I mean, don't get me wrong, I'd be thrilled having a little girl but we really wanted a buddy for Spencer and being pretty much 2 yrs apart(25 months), we wanted them to be able to do the same stuff together. Plus we already have a lot of boy stuff so it really works out. And with me being due Oct. he can wear the same stuff with the seasons and I don't need to stress about going out and buying all new stuff. So that's our big news that we've been hiding from everyone.

So we've come to the conclusion that Spencer was a miracle baby. I am now on MANY meds to keep this baby alive inside of me. It has made me very very sick. Poor Jason, one of the meds I'm taking is hormones, so I have MANY mood swings. One moment I'm laughing and the next I'm in tears. I never knew there was so many sad commercials on the tv nowadays. The toliet paper ad always gets me (just kidding, but it's almost that bad). I never thought I'd be taking a pharmacy worth of pills this early on in my life. I'm not THAT old. But if it helps, I'll take 100 more. I am so lucky to have found out this conclusion to the problem we've been facing for a long time now. I consider myself very very lucky.

This is Brodie and Kerry's cutie, Aria. She is so adorable.
So serious!!!!
This is Spencer's favorite thing to show off. His "Hulk". He loves to make people smile so he does his hulk. It gets me everytime.

This is Jared and Amy's clan. This picture turned out super cute.
This is Kelsey, Amy's newest little one. She was all smiles.
Jason and Spencer on the waterfall. Spencer was a little skittish.
Another picture of us.

Our trip to St. George

This is Spencer doing things HIS way. He loves to turn on and off, on and off, on and off ........the lights. But he couldn't quite reach, so he found a way.

This was down in St. George. We had family pictures taken. They turned out okay, I think. Spencer wasn't really in the mood, though. So it made things just a tad more difficult. But we got a few good ones.

Spencer loves his cousins. Here he is with Brenna. He loves to grab their hands and walk around. Then he tries to hug and kiss on them.

SORRY!!!

• So I know I haven't posted for quite a while, but I do have a legitimate excuse. Or else I think it is. This is what's been going on with us lately.
• Well, three weeks ago while Jason was at his night job, I started feeling this sharp pain in my back. It was about 2:30am and it kept getting worse. So I finally called Jason and told him we needed to head to the ER. So we did and a week later I was released. I was in there from Mon night to Fri night. The doctor told me she wanted me in longer but I had had it. I wanted to go home. So I was on strong pain meds and antibiotics.
• What happened was I had a whole bunch of infections including a kidney infection with stones to top it all off. I was in pretty bad shape. Poor Jason had to keep going to work at days and nights. It was hard on all of us. He was a real trooper and I love him so much for all he does for me. He is my rock and I don't know I'd do without him.
• I was alone all the time in the hospital and Jason was exhausted taking care of Spencer and going to work. He would come when he could, but he was running ragged.
• Thank heavens for my Mom. She was a lifesaver and took care of Spencer while he was at work. And then when I got home, Jason's mom came and helped take care of me and Spencer. She was great!!! I really appreciated all that help.
• Needless to say it has taken me this long to finally get back on my feet. I still am trying to pass these stones, but that's all. All infections are gone. YEAH!!! And I am feeling pretty good.
• So now I can post some of our new pictures. We went down to St George this last weekend for Amy's baby, Kelsey's blessing. We had a good time and it was great for Spencer to be with his cousins,Papa, Grandma and of course his Aunt JoJo again. He loved every minute of it!!!

Our life in a nutshell!!!!

This is all the goings on that have been happening in our little family the past couple months. We have enjoyed all the time we have spent with both sides of our families and love you all so much. We just wish we could spend more time with each and every one of you. We miss you all terribly and hope we see each of you sooner than later.
