Little Z

I have not been as great at keeping Zach's Scrapbook so I needed to document a few things...


Reasons I love my little Buddy...

He is full of energy and goes 100% on everything

He is stubborn, independent, and can "do it himself"

He wakes up in the morning ready for the world and says "Look Mom, the Sun is awake! It sure is a nice day!" I love that positive energy in the morning and it always makes me smile.

He has a Jean Feddish....Freaks out if his jeans aren't ready and waiting for him...I think it's kinda funny.

He tells me and everyone else "Your my Best Friend"

He wants me to rock him every night. We are never allowed to skip that part.

He LOVES to wash the dishes and will stand at the sink forever "washing the dishes"

I could keep on going...

My Favorite Pic!

We went to the GREAT Chiefs game where we BEAT the Steelers! What!?

Anyway, the kids got on the big screen several times and at one point it started to sprinkle a little. They were sitting in one chair with a blanket over them. I could hear them giggle so I lifted the blanket and snapped a picture. This might be my favorite picture of the year. It makes me laugh everytime!

Holiday Fun

WE had some Holiday fun with friends at the lighting ceremony Saturday Night. Great Weather too!

Darcy's Best Buddy...She always asks me for "tall" shoes in hopes that she'll be tall like her friend...I told her there's no hope for her being tall...

I Won a Contest!

Sweet! I won a case of 6 #10 cans of food from The Ready Store! It was worth $148! Yeah for my food Storage!!

November 10

Today would have been my brother Jared's 27 Birthday.

Happy Birthday Little Brother. I'm so glad that you have a perfect body now and can live in glory with our Heavenly Father. I will be with you again and am so happy to have that knowledge.

We miss you very much every day.

Early Morning

Josh went to the lovely and warm Phoenix, therefore I have to teach Seminary in the morning....Wish me luck! At least it got me reading the scriptures this evening...And I have to teach next wednesday when he is in Chicago. Is he making this a weekly thing?

FALL FUN

Fun in the leaves at Granpa's house! The kids "Helped" rake leaves this weekend. Talk about a good workout...running and jumping in leaves!

Announcing Baby #3!

I can't hold it in any longer...We are proud to announce (cautiously) baby #3!

My anxiety level has come back down today after seeing this sweet little miracle today in my ultrasound. Although I can't feel anything, she/he was kicking and moving away and that little heart was beating strong at 170. (which says GIRL to me). Darcy was always in the 170's, Zach always in the 140's.

It is even more amazing on #3 to me, that 9 weeks ago it starts as a cell you can't even really see, and after 9 weeks, there is a little body and a heartbeat. It Really is a Miracle from our Heavenly Father and I felt so blessed just hearing that heartbeat today. I know I'm not out of that Danger Zone yet but I sure have been praying hard.

She / He is 9 weeks old today and look at those budding arms and legs!

This pregnancy has definitly been a little different for me so far. Way more cravings than with the other two. Chipotle (in small quantities), pickles and banana peppers, SALT, McDonald's Cheeseburger...I mean seriously I might go broke by the end of this one...

Also, I NEVER threw up with the other two...Broke that record the other day...Yuck...

So there you have it, Our big Announcement...I wanted to wait a little longer, but I couldn't contain my excitement after today!

Halloween!

Suiting up getting ready for some trick or treat time!
Incredible Love...

Grandpa is taking them out! (my dad...not that you couldn't tell)
Counting up our results!
We had a fun Halloween Evening!

Happy Halloween!

My husband, who never dresses up, Dressed up for the Family this year. Yes I repaid him...He wasn't the happiest Mr. Incredible, but he'll do anything for his family! Love you Honey!

More pictures to come...

Creative Find

How Genius is This!! This person repurposed an old entertainment center...

I love it!

Fall Fun

Monday, I had to work so my mom and gigi took the kids to the pumpkin patch for some fun! They met their cousin Liam there too!

We went to a farmer friend's home to see this cute little miniature colt that was 3 days old!Fall is really beautiful this year! I'm loving the drives looking at all the trees!

Accountability

*Caution* I may offend somebody...But it's my blog...

As I lay in bed for the THIRD day, I caught something on Fox News that really irked me. The reporter was talking to the Coca Cola CEO about Soft Drinks being Taxed more because it caused Obesity....EXCUSE ME!???? But last I checked everyone had free agency on what they want to put in their body!! If I want to have a soft drink, I'm entitled right! What happened to making everyone responsible for themselves and what they eat! That's why we are here right? To test our free agency?

When we were at Disneyworld a few weeks ago , the first day we were at Magic Kingdom, I noticed something very scary. This is no exaggeration, I bet 3 out of 4 people were completely overweight. I'm not talking a few pounds...I'm talking WAY overweight. Kids too! It was the first time I've really noticed this epidemic that the media continues to talk about.

Don't get me wrong, I could stand to lose a few pounds,

BUT, people have the free agency to choose what goes into their body and when and how much they exercise. Why should there be extra tax on soda? Silly to me.

I had to get that off my chest.

Flu season already?

REALLY? It's October 8 and already the flu hit my house hard! It started with Zach a few weeks ago! Then it hit Josh right before vacation, Then Hit Darcy ON Vacation, and now it's finally hit mom. Mom's are NOT made to get sick! Too much to take care of!

I've had this junk in my head and chest since last Friday. Started feeling a lot better on Tuesday and Wednesday (substituted school on those days too!) and by wednesday night and Thursday , it hit me like a freight train! Stopping me in my tracks! Who knows HOW many people I infected at Josh's Aunt's funeral we had to attend yesterday! (Julie was really ill and she is at peace now.) Talk about a bad day!

I'm not just looking for sympathy here...There is a point to my story!

I am a girl who doesn't do nose spray or anything else that goes up your nose...Can't stand it...

BUT I finally resorted to this yesterday... THE NETI POT.

It wasn't near as bad as I though it would be. Pretty gross actually. Josh said we've reached new heights in our marriage...He watched. That's love right there. It did help! but not enough for me...

I finally drug myself to urgent care after spiking a fever yesterday. I have the Flu AND a Sinus Infection. Super.

I don't know how many flu viruses are out there, but watch out for this one..!

Stupid Flu Season. What's scary to me is that it's only October 8.

Where Dreams Come True...

The Whole Kingdom was decorated for fall!

We even took a day off for the beach!

Zachary IS Buzz "Lighter" as he likes to say...

The Tree of Life at Animal Kingdom...I think the Bug's Life Movie inside the tree was Josh's Favorite!
My little "Safari Girl"

My little Zebra

My little Enthusiastic Park Goer...

Zachie was in love with Minnie Mouse. He hugged her for a whole minute!

What a wonderful Trip! We had a blast! Disney really is the most Magical place there is!

I have tons of Pictures, Just thought I'd catch up the blog a little!

When You Wish Upon a Star...

I love this song! And I can't stop singing it!

This is a big deal and a dream of my own since I was a teenager! The day I would take my own kids to Disneyworld to see all the Magic! And My hubby has never been!

We leave Thursday!!!!

Happy Marriage

I came across this article through another's blog about marriage and thought it was beautiful!

I had to share!

Marriage isn't easy sometimes. It's the tough parts that makes a marriage stronger.

I am thankful for my loving husband, even through the ups and downs! I love you Honey! 2 weeks til vacation!

Buddies

Whose kid is this!!?? We love Jack!

Football Season Kickoff

LOVE FOOTBALL SEASON! It's my favorite sports season to watch at least..

Letting Go

As if the first day of kindergarten wasnt' tough enough...The next week I let her try the bus...




Do you know how hard it was to put my 5 year old on the bus? Although I have to admit after 1 week of driving and picking up from school (6 miles away), that was going to get old real fast! Darcy wanted to ride the bus SO bad. Had to lay down some ground rules but it seems to be going well!
