Legos

My boys love to play with their Legos. All of them do. Hyrum has been playing with Legos for a couple of years now and he is really getting good. He comes up with the coolest things all on his own.

Hyrum made these two all by himself and I was so amazed that I told him I would post them on my blog so everyone could see how talented he is. He reminded me this morning that I needed to take a picture of his Legos so I could show everyone.

So what do you all think. Pretty good for a 5 year old. Although I have to say I'm not so sure I could ever come up with something like this. I have a pretty awesome kid.

Pregnancy

What was I thinking. Apparently before I decided to get pregnant for a third time I had to forget what it was like the first two times. Once that happened I got pregnant, fast. Now I'm wondering, What was I thinking? Morning sickness my butt. How about all day, all night forever sickness. I don't remember waking up in the middle of the night being pregnant with the first two because I had to make a visit to the bathroom to make sure my head still fit. I'm pretty sure before I could at least sleep through the night and then wake up at a decent time to start with the visit to the bathroom. So not only am I sick and every little smell makes my stomach churn, but I am exhausted all the time except when it's time to go to sleep. That's when all of a sudden I'm not even the least bit tired. So I toss and turn trying to fall asleep with no success.

Last night was one of the worst. I tried reading, listening to Instrumental music and even watching a little TV. Finally 1 am rolls around and I think man I really need to get to sleep so I can get up in the morning to get Hyrum to school on time and spend some quality time with Noah. So I finally fall asleep sometime after 1 am and what's this I'm awake and it's still very dark outside. Oh no I have to go to the bathroom right now. After about 10 minutes of visiting with the toilet and letting it know what I had for dinner I go back to lay down. It's 4:40 am. That's nice. So I try to sleep some more. Wait no, I'm not done yet. Still not done. Well I guess maybe I should read or something until this passes. 6 am Chris is awake. Well guess I'm not going back to bed anytime soon. Good thing I got a book to keep me busy.

Oh the joys of being pregnant. Let's hope this is a girl otherwise I don't know if I will ever have a daughter because I'm not going through this again. Or am I? At least I know in the end I will have a beautiful baby who I will love unconditionally. Worth it, right!?!?! Right!

Being Productive

Today I finished reading "Twilight" for the third time and decided that I should probably do something a little more productive. So I ran over to Joanne Fabric's and picked up some fabric. I just finished the quilt and thought I would see what everyone thinks. I love it, it is so warm!

New Truck

This is Chris's new truck. Well it's new to him. He bought this truck for the company so help save money. It gets way better gas mileage than the Dodge Ram so he uses it to run errands when picking up supplies or checking on jobs and other things like that.

The boys love the new truck. Especially Noah. It's just the right size for them. Noah likes to climb in himself and pretend like he is driving it. Here are some pictures of him just having a ball.

First day of school

Hyrum started school last Thursday, Aug. 28th. He was so excited that he woke up on his own at 7 O'clock and came into my room to tell me that I needed to wake up and so I could take him to school. "Don't you remember mom, I have school today?" It was so sweet. He ate breakfast, took a shower, brushed his teeth and got dressed. I had to do his hair all nice for him so he would look good for his first day. Doesn't he look handsome?

After school I asked him how his day went and he said, "Good, we played games and went outside on the playground. I met all my new friends, but I don't remember their names." That's was all he had to say about that. He couldn't wait to go back the next day. My little boy is growing up.
