Nope, no baby yet...

Still here, still pregnant!  We are two days past our due date as of today.  :(  I am being induced tomorrow morning and can't wait to meet this little girl!!  I have been having a ton of contractions, they just aren't kicking into high gear, so we will get a little help tomorrow. :)

Almost done!

We are still here, I am still pregnant. I have gotten so bad at updating this, oops! We had a fun Easter, we kept things pretty low key as I just didn't have the energy to deal with any major holiday cleanup. I am currently 38 1/2 weeks along, we are ready and waiting for little miss Gwen to make her appearance. I'm doing this oh my phone, so not sure where the writing will appear in relation to the pictures but I attached two pics from my phone, one is me just last Sunday, feeling pretty huge, and the other is the kids on Easter morning.

Caleb is 8!!!

In our church, when you turn 8, you get baptized!  It is a really big deal so we were super excited for him.  It was a great day and we were happy so many of our family members were able to come out to support him in his decision. 

Caleb and the other two girls from our ward that were baptized that day.

My side of the family.

Everyone from both sides. :)

The Saunders' side of the family.

Caleb got something else for his 8th birthday if you didn't notice, GLASSES!!!  He is so happy now, he can read all the store signs, see the hymn numbers at church, turns out he was quite blind without them, sorry Caleb!  But glad we got it figured out.  :)

New Family Pictures!

We finally got some new, updated family pictures taken last December.  Thanks to my cousin Julie over at Pics by Presley, she did a GREAT job!

Christmas 2011

I know, I'm way behind. Here are a few pictures from Christmas this year. Since it was on a Sunday, we did stockings and Santa presents int he morning and then did the rest after we came home from church. :)

Happy New Years!

Hope everyone has a fun, safe time tonight. We are enjoying the nice weather after a week filled with the stomach flu. :-(  Each day someone new was sick, no fun at all! Not how we planned to spend daddy's week off with us, but I guess that is life. One more fun week off then it will be back to school. Hoping for healthy, fun-filled days ahead of us.

Testing from the phone..

Hoping I linked this right, testing it out! And just to test another part, I'm including a picture of our tumbleweed man!

Let's see if this works... Testing, testing,1,2,3...

It's a....

GIRL!!!!!

Yay! We went for our ultrasound last week and though she tried to hide her goods in the beginning, eventually she moved around and gave us a nice clear view of her bits. Most definitely girl #3 is joining our family! She weighed in right on track at 11 oz, no change in the due date, so guessing from my track record we will be meeting little miss the last week of April, probably in the early 20's (due the 29th). I felt a little bad for Caleb, he was REALLY rooting for a boy, but I pretty much knew it was a girl, that mommy gut feeling, so I had tried really hard to prepare him, point out the good points to staying the only boy (he still gets his own room, privacy!!). He is over it now and even came home from school yesterday with a little paper bracelet he made for her. :) We are 20 weeks along now and I can't believe we are halfway there! It is just flying by.

Oak Glen!

It's not fall without a trip up to Oak Glen! We decided spur of the moment this morning that we needed to go today and boy were we glad we did, the place was empty! I'm used to seeing huge crowds in September, but I guess we were just late enough in the season, not many people were up there early, although lots of people were arriving by the time we were heading out after lunch.

The parking lot at Riley's. We got there at 8:50 and they officially opened at 9. We couldn't believe how empty it was and it was so nice!

Isabelle thought it smelled when we first got there, lol.

Pretty harvest corn. I love all the different colors.

My attempt at a pretty picture of the raspberries.

Didn't quite work. :)

Hello pretty Rory-girl!

Jared was trying to get her to smell the flowers.

The kids thought the handcart was pretty cool.

Trying to get a picture of them, Rory wants mommy to come over with them too.

So many pumpkins to choose from!

The fields were perfect, so many pretty pumpkins to choose from! They weren't all trampled over yet or anything.

At Los Rios, trying to get a picture of my kids in their pumpkin spot.

It was so fun! We went to Snowline too, but my camera battery died before we got there. :( We ate lots of donuts and came home loaded with pumpkins, harvest corn, apples and cider. My pumpkins are all cleaned and lined up in front of my fireplace, I am so ready for fall!!!

Baby #4???

Yep!!! Baby #4 is on the way!!! We are super excited! I went to my first appt last Friday and got to check up on little baby and see how things are progressing. When Jared gets home tonight we'll hook the scanner up so I can scan the ultrasound image. Heart was beating away, everything is measuring right on track, so we are happy to share our news! I am 9 weeks today, baby will be joining our family at the end of April, just in time for all of the end of the school year craziness, lol. :)

Happy Birthday to Aurora!

Happy First Birthday to my Rory!!! Such a big girl, she is now walking more and more, loves to eat and is trying so hard to talk. She is in LOVE with Bubble Guppies, its the only show she'll watch, but of course nothing exists in stores yet, so all she got was a super cute outfit a wonderful woman in our ward made for her. We loved having family and a couple friends over to celebrate her day with us last Sunday! Thanks to all who came. :)

School time!!!

Yay!!! School is back in session!! We have been counting down the days, Isabelle got to start Kindergarten and Caleb was soooo ready to get back to his routine. We loved summer, but we definitely hit that point about 2 weeks ago where we were DONE!!! I'm so glad it's just a 2 month summer break, not the 3 month one I had growing up. :)

My handsome Caleb!

He's so big!

Watch out second grade, here he comes!!

My pretty, pretty Belle

Love this girl! Her hair is slowly growing out. She said that she doesn't want to cut her hair again until high school, so it can be like "Tangled" hair. Thank goodness!!

Don't they look so nice!

I LOVE my kids and I LOVE this picture!!

Walking into the kindergarten area

Got her nametag and ready to go!

Rory's striking a pose. She was happy to be there, really. :)

Looking at a picture of herself on Daddy's camera.

Such a big girl already!

Isabelle saying hi to her new teacher, Mrs. Ruiz (the woman in the black pants).

Bye Belle!!! Have a good day!!

Time to take Mr. Stud to his class!

All lined up and ready to go!

We are soooo excited for this upcoming year!!
