~I Love to see the Temple~

I have been lucky enough to go to the temple a lot this week (thanks to a husband who will watch the munchkin) and I cannot even express how thankful I am for a Heavenly Father who knows me so well and knows just how to touch my heart.

I am at "that" point of pregnancy where you are so close that you begin to think of how hard it will be to do all of the everyday things afterwards, and so I waddle my way there and really love every little second. I am so thankful for all the sweet women who love to help this round woman :) and for a beautiful temple right down the street!

P.S. the Rexburg Temple is beautiful but these are the BEAUTIFUL pictures my talented husband took while we were in Utah last weekend. WAY TO GO LOG!!

GOOF MONSTER!!

Kai is full of energy, attitude, laughs, spunk, curiosity and much much more!!! He is more BOY than I could have ever asked for and I LOVE IT!!

Thanks Kai AKA Kai-stopher, bubba and monster for bringing so much happiness into our lives!! We love you times Eternity!

YEP...Thats what I saw when I checked on him...poor doggy needed to go see the Dr!!

Throwing in action..

This is a true guilty face!

Funny BOY!

WE LOVE U BUBBA!

These r a few of my favorite things....

I love my patient husband! Not only can he smile through moments like this, but he can take care of a whiny wife as well. We love you Dad!

I love my little comedian. My Mom calls Kai the little parrot because he will literally mimic anything you say...which helps us to be EXTRA careful! He is growing up each day, and it makes me sad, but I'm loving that he understands more what I am saying....UNFORTUNATELY that does not mean he listens :)

I have loved the weather lately...I heard we have storms to come so we are trying to take in EVERY beautiful moment we can!

I love Girly things!! Not only have I been a hair flower making freak, but I just recently made Avery her carseat cover...it's one of my favorite projects because it is SO easy but you feel so productive once you're done :)

Oh and of course I couldn't forget about my favorite foods. PIZZA, Goldfish crackers, cake, cookies, fruit, juice....pretty much if it is food I am TOTALLY all over it...which is a huge difference from Kai's pregnancy! I LOVE TO EAT!!!

I am sure there r more favorites...but thats it for now...how in the world can I top pizza? I don't think I can...so I'm not gonna try!!

" UR LOOKIN LARGE!"

Oh gosh you guys...I have been completely avoiding pregnancy pics these last few weeks because I just feel so dang big and don't exactly feel picture ready. And to make matters worse, everyone around me feels the same. Logan's comment to me today says it all, "Man Ash, you're looking LARGE!!" Yep thats right...I am officially at the stage where everyone and their dog asks me when I am due or comments on how low I am getting :)

So here I am...31 weeks and feeling like a LARGE playground! Now that I can no longer work out I am getting better control of those scary contractions, but I'm darn sure that is not helping my BIG status :)

Thank you Kai, for directing eyes towards your sweet face! And thank you Avery for making others feel good about their tummy's :)

Back to the Blog World!

I don't know what it is, but lately the LAST thing I want to do is blog...which is such a weird thing because I usually take pictures and have blogged the whole story that day... Well here is my attempt to catch up and get the blogging fever again :)

Last weekend we were able to go to Utah for a day to help my cute little brother Chase get all his mission "stuff"...and Kai couldn't have been more excited. During that 4 hour drive we heard Kai scream "CHASE!!" pretty much a million times!

Kai would not leave Chase's arms...even to get in the car!

Chase thinks its weird that #1 There is a baby inside me and #2 she kicks him....he says it freaks him out...hahahaha!

Uncle Jordan gave the GREAT idea to go to the museum on campus and Kai LOVED it...way to go uncle J.

BOYS WILL BE BOYS!

Kai pretty much screamed whenever I touched him this weekend because ALL he wanted was UNCLE CHASE!

Logan and Chase teamwork at the park...its gotta be a two on one with this child!

The weather in Utah was perfect and Kai LOVED the time outdoors!

I don't think i will EVER let him move up to the big boy swing...it is so nice having him confined and safe :)

And even though this little stink wouldn't pose for me...I wanted to give a shout out to our ChASEy boy! We are so excited for his mission and will be cheering him on every step of the way! Love you Chase, thanks for a great day!
