update

Well we've decided to induce on the 9th, but my dr. doesn't think we'll make it till then so I'll keep you updated at some point...As of the 3rd, I'm at a 3 and 90% effaced...so you would think anytime now but who know's how the body works. I'm feeling anxious though and so is Ryan.

3 or 4 weeks???

I am back and forth trying to decide if we should induce a week early which would be 3 weeks away or wait and see what happens naturally...ahhh decisions decisions. But I have to say that I'm excited to meet little Tommy and also very excited to not be prego anymore.

Well some other new news is that I am moving salons again... De Leon is closing their doors and come Sept. 1 I have to find a new place to work. I have a couple of options but haven't decided yet where exactly I want to be. so there again, decisions decisions. So I'm going to take september off and start work again at the beginning of October.

Kate is doing awesome on the potty, I'm so proud of her. She even told her nursery leader on Sunday that she needed to go and didn't wait for us to come and take her... hooray.

Ryan and i are teaching the marriage and family relations class still, and it's been fun to be able to prepare specific lessons once a week together, I've learned some new insights from him and we've been able to kind of learn and grow together.

The other day, I asked Kate if that night she was going to take her Jammies off after I close the door to leave and she said "yes" and I asked her why she does that, and she said while rubbing her arms and tummy "it's soooooo comfy" so we just sneak in after she's asleep and re-dress her so she's not cold in the night.

Ryan starts school tomorrow :( It's been a fun summer together going to the gym and 7-peaks. Oh and he won the weight bet that he had with his brother Jay I'm so proud of him, he lost 17 pounds this summer and he definitely deserves the recognition cuz he worked hard... and I must say that he is looking good!

Belle...the Beast

We got a few tickets to the scera shell this year, one of them being the Beauty and the Beast play, we thought we would try taking Kate and see how she'd do. Well the day came and we went, and she sat on one of our laps the whole entire 2 1/2 hours mesmerized. She got all into it asking "where's Gaston?" "what's the matter with Belle, why is she sad?" she loved it... we can't call it beauty and the beast though cuz she gets confused cuz beauty is sleeping beauty so it's called Belle... the beast.

Good morning Kate

This morning Kate came into our bedroom after the second night of staying "dry" (we may even be potty trained for the night soon, who knows?) and the first thing she said was "Mom I want to smell your hair" so I let her and asked "what does it smell like?" she said "m&m's" then she wanted me to smell hers and I told her it smelled like flowers.

Then she wanted me to smell her fingernails and I told her they smelled like chocolate candy then she smelled mine and said they smelled like angels.

Summer time

Ok I guess it's been long enough, I'll start blogging again.

Here's a quick rundown of the last little while. Ryan finished school hooray! And we have since re-arranged our house getting ready for little Tommy to come. which means in a condo, that can get tricky, we managed to combine some furniture and other things to make it all fit and work but it's quite comical, our bedroom has now become furniture warehouse. We have the office set up in one corner, our bed with 2 night stands on each side, the book case, the dresser the piano and we even managed to leave a walkway so that we can live too. ahhh what the heck, it's not beautiful but it works.

We went on a trip to Panaca for memorial day and that was super fun. The whole Wells family came and joined the Free family and they even said they would go back next year so it must have left a good enough impression on them :) We hiked, swam, found trilabites, lizard, frogs, crawdads, and snakes, and even managed to see a couple of wild horses. All in all it was a great trip, and Kate keeps talking about camping and going in the tent. It's funny, whenever it's windy outside she says in a sad voice "let's go in the tent" (she's afraid of the wind, we discovered).

Potty training is coming along fine, I found a whole bunch of polly pocket dolls on KSL and bought them and every day she can go without an accident she gets a new polly pocket! And I must say she is getting quite the collection. She loves to stack them up on the piano like it's their special castle, then she climbs up and plays the piano while she sings part of your world... I will try to get it on video without her knowing, it's pretty cute.

Ryan has had a horrible toothache since school ended and sure enough we need to schedule him a root canal. If only you could plan these things and they didn't spring up on you from one week to the next. luckily he has cleared up some of the infection so he's not in pain anymore. Just in time for the WMD (Wells Male Day) they do a guy trip every year to New Mexico, and that is where he is right now.

So there you have it, the run down. Hopefully I'll stay more up to date from now on.
