beach and part 2

My little miss bug is in love with the beach.  Everyday when we wake up she asks to go to the beach.  She loves to build sand castles, and sometimes play in the water.  She loves to ride her "boat" (boogie board).  She is quick to let us know when the tide is coming in by yelling...HURRY the tide is coming in!  She loves to find seashells.  She loves to pick out her swimming suit for the day and flip flops to match.  Mom and Dad LOVE the after nap!

 

Grace, Kendyl and Deklan all playing at the beach

Part 2 of this post....Were headed to Utah for 7 weeks!  Jase will be so busy the whole month of June so him and everybody else talked us into going to utah the beginning of June.  Then he will fly out end of June for seminar to meet us then we will all come home together!  While we are in Utah we want to do so much now that Kendyl is a little older to take it all in.  First up, Swimming Lessons!  She informed me the other morning she wants to learn how to swim like a gator.  If that doesnt scream we live in Florida i dont know what else does.  She is so excited to see her grandmas and grandpas and all the animals.  Were excited to go and lay in the grass and not worry about fire ants.  Jumping on the tramp.  And the food!  I have missed those little restaurants I grew up eating.  I don't know if I want in n out, costa vida, Kneaders, red robin, taco time, ahhh.  I guess its the little things that I miss most. 
So, ready or not, here we come!  Time to start packing right!?

22 weeks

22 weeks

is not flying by

 

 

 

On my birthday we got to go into the Dr and find out what we were having.  Jases guess was he didn't know.  Kendyl was adamant I had a boy in my belly and she had a girl in hers.  I didn't know, but deep down I KNEW for sure it was a girl. 

KENDYL WINS!!

To say I wasnt in shock was an understatement because I so was in shock. 

At 22 weeks I have gained 6 pounds.  So much less then I was at with Kendyl, but Im so much bigger already. 

Im still on my anti nausea medicine everyday.  i am feeling better though if I stay on top of it.   I crave blue raspberry dum dum suckers and lemon heads.  Not to mention hamburgers and french fries.  Im not digging the cookies, cake and ice cream so thats a plus right?

Jase is so excited for the camo and sports and guns with his little guy.  Can I put it out there that I hate camo? I am so excited for a little baseball player though.  Kendyl loves little babies and is always helping other kids out.  She is also very good at taking care of her toys, making sure they are warm and fed.  She is going to be an amazing big sister and I am so excited for her to get to have a chance at this! 

Now to get through this already hot summer.  Bring on the swollen feet, sweaty pits, afternoon naps and 2nd breakfasts!  ugh, I hate being pregnant!

Im Losing It

ok folks, Im honestly losing it!  Can we call it pregnancy brain or is my brain just going through a sneeze?  I have a few stories....and Im sure I will have many many more to add!

For starters my number one thing i ALWAYS forget is to turn off my straightner.  I cannot count the amount of times I have had to turn around and come home because I honestly have no recollection of turning it off.  Since my family is cursed with things burning down, I have driven 45 miles to go back to check.  9 times out of 10 it is off though in my defense!
To follow with this story I have been working really hard on remembering to tunr it off before I leave.  Yesterday I was finished with it, TURNED IT OFF (i actually remembered) and left.  Then i started to psyche myself out if i had or not.  I was a house away for only a few minutes so the second I got home I checked and sure enough it was off.  Woo Hoo!  Anyway we were meeting some friends in town to go to dinner and so when Jase got home he hurried and jumped in the shower.  As soon as he got out he screamed and said you trying to fry your straightner?  *Side note, our sink drains beyond slow*  Somehow, The water was on, sink was full and my straightner was on...fully emerged in water!  I HAVE NO RECOLLECTION OF HOW THIS HAPPENED!  For freaking real?  It is now sitting in rice and Im praying it still works!

Second story, I was driving to town today switching through all my radio stations trying to find a song to sing with Kendyl.  Which then got me thinking, I need to bring my little  cds into here so I can sing songs I love!  I was looking and looking for where cds actually go in my car.  i was shocked that i didn't have one!  I called my mom and we were shocked and figured well, new cars are turning to Ipod docks etc.  Full on conversation!  I pull into my parking spot, go to get out and behold, there it is, I DO have a cd player in my car.  I felt so dumb calling her back to tell her.  I think she is worried about me, 3000 miles away, driving her grand daughter around.  I assure you she has been safe!

Maybe I just need a nap!

Change my groove

Ok I have no idea how to change the size of these pictures.  So just enjoy!


Our lives have been super busy but I have yet to leave my house.  Last week jase was at work by 6 am then he wouldn't get home until 9:30 or 10 each night. My nausea was back full force and Kendyl has about had it watching tv.  I'm so glad she has a good imagination because she became a pirate, fairy, baby, chef, a kangaroo, you name it she imagined she was that.  As cute as they all were, her pirate spiff was my favorite.  She was captain Kendyl and went around saying ahoy and aye aye mateys!
She is trying to give up naps and I can't decide if I am a fan or not. Come bed time she goes right to sleep and climbs in bed like she owns the place.  Come 5 or 6 she is so sleep deprived she gets a good time out.   Either way, she is a good kid and my little partner in crime. She takes good care of me and makes sure I'm happy and not sick.
We are so ready for jase to have a day off. It seems that on his days off it is either really windy or rainy. I'm ready to get out of our house and enjoy Florida. I'm far too pale to be living in this tropical weather.  We're ready for the swimming hole to open!  I miss sea world. I'm dying to feel well enough to go.
While sitting around feeling ill I've become VERY Utah sick. Don't get me wrong, I love it here!  I love those amazing people taking care of me.  I guess I just need my moms help and johns unlimited supply of Popsicles! My friends are having babies that who knows when I will get to meet them and my BFF is getting married.
Ok I'm over my pity party, I'm going to go put on my shorts, flip flops, and head to town. Maybe read a book outside and catch some rays :)

surprise.....

Well, the cats out of the bag! Little Kendyl bug is going to be a BIG SISTER!  I would love to say she is beyond excited but in all honesty, I don't think she really knows.  Plus when this baby does come, I think it might rock her world, even though her world is being rocked right now! 

So, Im 13 weeks along now and due September 12, 2013.  Like I was with Kendyl, Im BEYOND sick.  I would dare say Im sicker this time then I was with her, and she was bad.  I have gone in 7 times now to get IV fluids for rehydration.  SEVEN!!  I am beyond thankful for those here on the ranch that have bent over backward to help me out.  From pretty much raising Kendyl, to sitting with me during infusions, to making me food and picking up my few groceries since I havent been in weeks.  Poor Jase and Kendyl are starting to get creative on what to eat.  Jase always says im lucky the fish are free to catch.  I always say Im lucky we have a camp chef and he can cook them outside!

Kendyl has been a trooper with a sick sick mom.  She is always quick to ask if im feeling ok. She says, you happy now?  Then when I am barfing up everything including my intestines, gizzards etc, she is quick to come check on me, hug me, wipe my tears and say "Be Brave Mom."  This in turn makes me cry a whole lot harder with how sweet she truly is.  She has watched every movie we own multiple times and even lets me pick a few shows.  As long as it is Big Bang Theory, Duck Dynasty or Ellen.  We love to laugh together, because in that little moment, all is well. 

At 13 weeks I have lost 9 pounds.  My pants fit great, but I think Im tired of losing weight!  The only thing I think I have craved is water with lemon in it and blue raspberry dum dum suckers.  I have adversions to EVERYTHING, even doing the dishes, so dont come visit me anytime soon.  I secretly despise those who "LOVE to be pregnant" and "feel like they are glowing" and "concerned they havent had morning sickness yet."  For real....for freaking real?

Until next time....Ill be in the bathroom!  

December

Merry Christmas!  I'm glad this is all coming at the end of Jan!  Better late than never right?  Again, we cannot say it enough, Florida is BEAUTIFUL!  This Christmas season was everything I ever dreamed of.  No snow, wearing t shirts, Disney, and getting spoiled.  We did however miss our family and friends ever so much. 

A little overview.  Jessica  Bird my BFF came to visit and we kicked off the Christmas season by celebrating with Mickey!  No lie, one of the top 5 favorite times of my life.  We got to go in "after hours" where there were no lines, characters, free cookies and cocoa, and it even snowed on Main Street.  We got home at about 2 am to turn around and take Bird to the airport at like 5 ish in the morning.  Again, so worth it! 

We then had so many parties.  The Relief Society Christmas Dinner, the ever famous Ranch Party and the Ward Christmas party, then our friends Christmas party!  We were busy.  The Ranch party was so much fun.  We literally ate like ten steaks.  I totally lie, but between Kate and I, we had like 3 plates of food.  This is the night Kendyl got to meet Santa.  I think she liked him, what do you think?  That face was a blood curdling scream that literally was heard for miles!

 My pictures are in a very very random order and Im not fixing them right now, so sorry!
Jase finally had his dream come true on I think new years eve eve?  He got me to go deer hunting with him.  Not gonna lie, I spotted this buck, told him to shoot and he was ever so happy.  He however will think twice to ever take me in a deer stand to sit quietly for hours.  That was pretty boring!  Im proud of his deer tho, so Good job Jase!

 This next pic is of course of the Mickeys very Merry Christmas Party.  We got to meet Ariel and we were star struck.  Go figure, were 23 and 25 years old!  We stuffed ourselves on the best funnel cake and a giant coke!  Im literally counting down the days til next year!

 This next pic is of me and my buggy..... its a picture of a picture, sorry for the glare!  just have to show off my December tan! 

 So, since Jase was working on the calving unit he got to meet all the babies first hand.  Its my favorite time of year.  Friends, meet sunny, a blind calf that Kendyl named.  She was so sweet. 

 Next comes our first ever Christmas tree.  jase requested a real tree for the smell...gotta be honest, didn't smell it once.  It was still fun though. Kendyl got to decorate most of it.  Then she got 2 special ornaments this year.  She got a Minnie Mouse and a Sea World Whale.  Speaking of whales.  She is always looking at size and names them baby, mommy and daddy.  Well she knows was a baby and a momma dolphin are...and a daddy dolphin is a whale my friends.  She claims she dreams about them every night.  I'm so happy my parents got us a Sea World pass for the year.  We will be spending much time there!

 Here are all our gifts, spoiled as can be.  But poor Jase just got that gun and his boots.  He has expensive taste.  I also learned if I don't ask for anything all I will get is cash.  I spent it on an Ipad and a treadmill.

 Kendyl got so spoiled with Minnie Mouse stuff.  This little outfit is from her Uncle Trevor.  She loves it.

 Here she is with her minnie toys, minnie hat, minnie watch, minnie dress, minnie bath toys and minnie slippers...... oh minnie! 

We hope you all had a Wonderful Christmas this year.  We sure did!  Thank you to everyone who sent gifts, cards texts and calls!  We loved them so so so much! 

A little November

We are LOVING living in Florida.  Not to brag, but it was 82 degrees the other day!  November was such a fun month and FLEW by!  Kendyl turned the big 2! I cannot believe she is 2 already.  She is so full of sass and spazz and is so smart.  She loves all her new friends down on the ranch.  She loves to sing songs, dance, count, make funny faces, eat only hot dogs, play in her new kitchen, anything Minnie Mouse, and make us laugh all day long. 

We also had Jases parents come to visit for a few days, and had my BF Jessica come and visit as well.  I got food poisoning, and a cold twice, and had the Relief Society Christmas Dinner.  Thanks to my amazing counselors, I hardly did a thing and they did such an amazing job!

Here are a few pics of the month...

 

 

 Kendyl LOVES her new swing she got for her birthday!  We cannnot keep her off of it!

 While Jases parents were here we went on an Airboat ride!  Not gonna lie, I was super sick, but Jase said I can either be sick in bed or sick looking at nature, so here I am, pain and all!

 We went to Cocoa Beach and got to pick up some seashells.  Kendyl LOVES seashells!

 For Christmas my mom got us Sea World season passes!  Best gift ever!  We even got them early so we could go while Jases parents were here.....Im going to LOVE this year!

 Here we are in front of the fun sign!...

 We even got to feed the dolphins!  Ah seriously, I want one as a pet!  I will hands down build a tank myself
