A little about Kate

I just have to say that I love to listen to little Kate play, she plays and plays and plays all day long with her "pee pockets" (polly pockets). She lives in a whole fantasy world and they all talk to each other, it's funny to listen to the conversations that they have. most of the conversations involve someone yelling "help I'm falling" and another "friend" coming to the rescue, or they talk about their ooowwwies, and the "friend" tells them that they're sorry. It's pretty cute.

The last of the good weather

So I probably shouldn't get this ambitious right after having a baby but I had to take advantage of the good weather so I went running the other day and I must say, it felt sooooo good! The next day I was definitely sore but it was nice to feel like myself for a minute. I've found that getting out even if it's just for a drive, it a good cure for the baby blues. Something about the sunshine is very theraputic.

Look who's 3

Tommy boy

I got the computer to work long enough to upload these little cuties

He's here!

Our computer is struggling so I can't get our pictures up, but Tommy is here! He was born on
9-9-09 and yes we were induced...it went really well from start to finish it took 3 hours so it was pretty smooth. We've been home now for almost 3 weeks and it's been a whirlwind but I think we are finally leveling out, and I think maybe we will survive :) He was 7 lbs 3 oz and 20 inches long, and he has a ton of dark hair. I'll put pictures up when we get this computer functioning.

Oh I got a new calling yesterday, activities co-chair in our ward. So I guess I'm off and running giddyup.

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!
