Oh What a Month...and a Half!

August started out well. We knew it would be a busy month from the beginning, but didn't realize quite how crazy it would be, in a good way :)
The month started out with our third trip to Utah since we moved to Colorado. Luckily it was for Jason's drill which is much brighter than a funeral. It was so nice to go and see our family. It was also very nice to have a little help with the kids for a couple days.
Less than a week after we got home we found out that we are expecting baby number three!!! Due April 23rd...that should be fun with my birthday the 21st and Ike's on the 22nd.  We were a little shocked that it actually happened and didn't really believe it until we saw the baby on the ultrasound last week. This surprise is what made things a little crazier given that I have all day sickness as opposed to morning sickness and I'm exhausted 24/7.
Then the next week Hailey had her first day of kindergarten. It was fabulous. She had the best time and LOVES her teacher, Mrs.Bury. She goes on and on about her and makes her books. Mrs.Bury has inspired a love of reading and writing in Hailey that I've never seen before. She is constantly wanting to write something or another and is always trying to read.

Ike started preschool and is loving it. They are learning about their family and their senses. He seems to have lots of fun and I am grateful for a 2 hour time out a few times a week.
At the end of the month we had our 5 year anniversary, it really doesn't feel like it's been that long. It was the first anniversary we've had that we haven't spent in Park City eating at Bandits. We made the mistake of trying a bbq place around here and ICK! I can't wait until we go back to Utah in October, so that we can go to restaurants that we already know are delicious!
September had been slower. Not really because there is a lot going on, but because I am sick and tired ALL THE TIME. This pregnancy has been the hardest by far. Maybe it's because I'm older or because I have two kids, but man it's been tough. Thank goodness for Jason who wakes up and takes care of everything before heading to work and then doing it all the next day. And for Hailey who takes care of me. She is constantly giving me kisses and bringing me things to make me feel better and letting me off the hook when I can't leave the house to take her to a birthday party. And for Ikey who cuddles me and gives me hugs and kisses to help me out. I truly have the most amazing family ever and I don't know what I'd do without them.




Now we are just anxiously awaiting the 12 week mark, so that we can all get back into our own routines, at least for the next few months.

Ready for school!
