1st Dr's appointment

We went to our 1st Dr's appointment today. I am 12 weeks 1 day, and the baby is about the size of a lime. We were able to see the baby and hear the heartbeat. The baby had hickups the whole time its was cute. I am due February 9th, so Paisley and this one will only be 14 months apart YIKES. We've just started telling most people, we decided to wait until our first appointment. We are starting to get more excited about it now that we are over the shock of getting pregnant so quickly after Paisley. We are attempting to NOT find out the sex of the baby... but I can't promise anything!!! We'll see how it goes. I've been pretty sick with this one. I've lost 18 pounds already, Dr wasn't happy about that. She mentioned if I keep losing I will be on IV's like I was with Paisley (NO FUN). So for now she has given me 5 prescriptions for nausea. I will keep the updates coming. I won't see the Dr again for another 4 weeks. What's your guess on what we are going to have??? There is a "vote" on the right side of the page!!

Gavin's New Dew....

Of course today couldn't end without "Gavin's signature" I was cleaning up the house a little bit and then noticed that Gavin had a bald looking spot in the front of his hair.... I look a little closer and what to do you know he has chopped it. I asked him what he did and he said he cut it with the scissors, ya... he put them right to his head and chopped... notice in the pictures from earlier today he still has the hair... I swear this is just a normal day for him doing something to livin things up a little.

The Tooth Fairy has a new house to stop at!!!

Today Gavin came upstairs to tell me he could feel something poky on his tooth. I looked and the top of his tooth was out... this put me on a quest! I had him pushing his tooth back and forth and it was really loose. After a little bit of time I tried to convince him to let me pull the tooth out with dental floss like my Mom used to do, he quickly denied and wouldn't allow it. So he kept pushing the tooth and finally I looked at it again and the front and back were both out but the one side was still stuck. So I gave it a little twist towards the side that was sticking and then twisted once away from the side and out it came. I showed Gavin his tooth and he was freaking out asking if I was going to pull the tooth... I said No I already did. SO here are the pictures! I told him he would need to put the tooth under the pillow and the tooth fairy would give him money. He asked how much and I said it depends on how much the tooth fairy thinks your tooth is worth, he said $2.00. He then told me this is NOT his worst day ever and he is so EXCITICK (excited) and he can still drink with his tooth gone, and he thinks it is SO cute!

24th of July Parade

This year for the 24th of July Parade we camped out overnight like we've done the last couple of years. This year however I was not really looking forward to going at all. In fact we went over to my parents house right before we were to head up there and I was thinking we should just go back home. This morning when I was sleeping I turned my head to switch what side I was sleeping on and then my head cracked and then it felt like I was getting electrocuted ending with me not being able to move. I couldn't get out of bed without my head feeling like it weighed 5000 pounds and if I moved in the slightest then I would get this pain that is worse than having a child.... seriously. So there I was stuck in bed all day, when Dallas got home he had to pull my arm and push me up while I was holding my neck, needless to say this is why I didn't want to go to the parade. Luckily I got in contact with my Dr and she called in a prescription for a muscle relaxer since Tylenol is just a hard water pill that does absolutely nothing. This made it possible for me to get out of bed and be able to walk around some. So back to the parade, we got to the corner ha ha at around 11:00 maybe a little earlier, Brittany and Lindsay and some of their friends were there. Gavin kept them entertained by doing the robot and dancing and telling jokes (that were so not funny but they laughed at.) I mostly slept the whole time, Dallas stayed awake the whole time thanks to AMP energy drink and Paisley slept through the whole night. Shari came around 5 ish and Arthur came later. Josh and Janelle camped out with her Aunt and came by to visit. All in all we had a great time, I couldn't keep myself from falling asleep though and I sure wasn't feeling good at all. There was a lot of good floats and the Prophet was also part of the parade. So there's the happy story of the 24th of July parade, oh and it lasted at least 2 hours....

Paisley and her Jumperoo

We got Paisley a jumperoo several months ago and she didn't really do anything with it besides sit in it and play with the little toys that are attatched. We have been putting her in it for a while now and the most excitement we've got was maybe a bounce and then her swaying side to side... BUT today!!! We have a bucking bronco she was bouncing like crazy on it!! YAY!! What a genius!! I just thought I'd post the video clip she is so dang cute!!

Lagoon

This is a late update for this event!! We went to Lagoon with Shari and Arthur for their stake lagoon day. Gavin was a total whimp!!! Thank goodness we werent' at Disneyland figuring this out. He got scared on practically any ride that lifted a hair off of the ground. So his favorite ride was the bumper cars. It was frustrating listening to him cry over every ride, but that's what we signed up for right...? Dallas told Gavin that we aren't going to Disneyland until he is a lot older because he didn't want his first Disneyland trip spent listening to Gavin cry. It seems strange to me that Dallas hasn't been to Disneyland yet. I guess it helps when you live in California and I got to go quite often!! I don't know how my parents did it with the 5 of us and going to any amusement park. It was SOOO boring just standing there watching Gavin cry before every ride and then watching him on the bumper cars for the 100th time. They sure are troopers!! Needless to say this was a lesson learned about not wasting money to take your kid to lagoon just to ride the dang bumper cars...!! Oh wait... if that wasn't enough torture we decided to bounce back so we got to have a re run of the whole thing, although the 2nd time my parents were heros and took Gavin to walk around Pioneer Village since he choose that over the other rides we were going on. We did get him to go on the rattlesnake rapids though and we got totally soaked, and it was nightime, so we were freezing. Oh well it was fun anyways! We camped overnight at the camp ground there and that was a lot of fun!!!

Happy 31st Birthday Dallas

Saturday Dallas turned a whopping 31. He for some reason has issues with getting older each year so I have to tease him a bit since I have SOO much younger than him!! We had his birthday party today and have a few friends over to celebrate. I had Janelle make his birthday cake again this year and she sent me a few ideas she had found and I picked this one!! I figured it was totally Dallas!! We had cake and icecream and sat around and talked for a little while. He got a wheelbarrow from my parents my dad rolled it in the house with Gavin in it singing "Happy Birthday" it was so cute!, guitar hero game and some super good smelling MEN shampoo, conditioner & styling gel from the Montoyas, and a couple shirts and a pair of pants from my Sisters, and some money from Shari & Arthur and Shane, and a wallet and shirt and shorts from me and the kids. We had a great time! Thanks to everyone who came to help up celebrate his birthday!!

4th of July

I know this is late but figured I'd still post pictures anyways!! For the 4th of July we went to Murray Park. This is a family tradition that we have been doing for at least 15 years. We get together with a bunch of friends and family and some will play Volleyball or other games. (This year Dallas and some of the others played a very "MANLY" game of crockett). Its always a lot of fun to get together. Gavin absolutely loves fireworks and has since he first saw them. This was Paisley's first 4th of July and she liked them too. It was a good day!!

Paisley's Pretties!!

Sooo... We are horrible parents! We went to the mall today to get my ring inspected and Claire's was close by... So I asked Dallas " should we get her ears pierced" he said "uhhh" and we started walking over towards the store, when I got closer I changed my mind and said forget it, the Dallas said let's just go in and see how much it costs. So we did and then we were stuck... Paisley was getting earings!! I held her, Gavin ran out of the store saying "this is my worst day ever" and she scream for a second then I gave her a bottle and she cried a little more and then was done. So her ears are officially pierced, and SO cute!! We got little pink flowers for her earings (which we found out later would have cost less at Walmart DANG) but they are cute!! We went over to my parents house afterwards and just waited for a reaction. My Mom's eyes popped open for a minute ha ha and Lindsay was screaming and jumping up and down in delight ha ha!! Brittany came home later and she was quite happy too!! My Dad said... she got her ears pierced! :) Anyways, I'm glad its over, wish I would have went to Walmart to save money, but still happy with them!!!

(she was done taking pictures at this point ha ha)

Shots for Kindergarten

Yesterday we had to take both of the kids in for their shots. Gavin had to get 3 of them for Kindergarten and Paisley also had to get 3. We got to the Dr's office. We had avoided telling Gavin what we were going there for, when we would ask what we are doing at the Dr's he would say "getting Paisley shots" sweet brother I know. Anyways we got to the Dr's. My Mom had come for support, thank goodness because we definately needed it!!

Gavin was first, he got weighed... he is still 47 pounds, (81 percentile) and they checked how tall he was getting 44" (69 percentile) then the Dr came in and checked everything else out. He was good to go. Gavin told the Dr that he didn't want to get shots, the Dr said I dont' want to give them to you either so I'm going to have someone else give it to you!! Ha ha!! Next was Paisley she is 16 pounds (37 percentile) and 26.5 inches (62 percentile) and her head is normal!! Anyways that was that... Paisley fell asleep waiting for the nurses to come back in with the shots. They took forever. In the meantime, Gavin was throwing a huge fit about not wanting shots. We were telling him how he just needed to be brave and then it would be over with and he could go to Kindergarten. This didn't help, so onto the next idea... We told him Bronson had to get shots and that didn't work either so then we started naming everyone in the United States who have also had to get shots... this didn't help either. So my Mom called my Dad so Gavin could talk to him and get some brave tips from him.... Gavin asked his grandpa "do you know how to get me out of here" ha ha!! The phone call didn't work either. It was all a lost cause. But we still had to keep up with more ideas because the dang nurses were taking forever. By this time Gavin had already kicked the table a few times, smacked his head into the back of the table, which then caused him to be more mad so he fell to the ground and was screaming I don't want shots I dont' want shots. Finally the nurses came in after what seemed like an hour of waiting. I was holding Gavin knowing that I would be the one having to try and put him up on the table because Dallas was holding Paisley sleeping. Sure enough when the nurses came in I had to try and grab him off the floor while he is kicking and screaming and put him on the table. In no less time had I put him on the table and my Mom was trying to hold him down too, he was up and running in place screaming he didn't want shots. We finally pinned him down. We were trying to tell him that if he would just hold still that they could do two of the shots at the same time and it would be over quicker. He didn't want to hear it. He was kicking his legs and squirming all over. So time for shots... I was practically laying on Gavin, my Mom was also holding him and the nurse was holding him and then shots were given one by one. He was screaming "this is my worst day ever" sad, but geez!! Then he was done. Next was Paisley's turn who didn't wake up during the whole ordeal with Gavin, she got her 3 shots, started screaming and that was the end of that... she held still so they were able to give her 2 shots at once.

WHEW.... what an adventure. My mom then took Gavin to Walmart to get him a toy, he picked the teradactyle toy to add to his dinosaur collection.

Morale of the story.... You better hope your kid isn't as bad as Gavin was for shots, if so bring back up!!!
