My beautiful oldest daughter

Ok so I am "almost" caught up with all the blogging that I have been wanting to do. Hopefully this summer will be a great chance to keep it going. haha...
Anyways Bella has had glasses for a few months now. And I have been meaning to post some pictures of her "new look"
I took this picture this morning as she was getting ready to go to her last day of school.

Trek fashion show

So Bella is going on a Handcart trek with the youth from our ward this summer. This week they had a "fashion show" to show off all their outfits. It was pretty funny to watch some of these kids model their outfits. I have never been on a Trek like this but I am sure it will be a experience that she will never forget.












My Mom helped Bella sew the skirt and the apron that she has on in the other picture below.

Cousin Sleepover

A while back Mckay came to visit for a couple days. So we had a cousin sleepover with the 4 older girls. We had a good time. I dont think they slept much between watching movies and talking to boys on their cell phones... But I think they had fun.

Bella and Jason trying to stay out of trouble

Well I had my first doctors appointment on Monday. That was "fun" ... I had made myself an appointment for the first ultra sound on next Monday. But yesterday they called me and told me they really felt due to my past pregnancy troubles, they wanted me to come in this week for the ultra sound (not next week) SO I am going in tomorrow morning. When they called me back it was kinda hard because it was like my own little wake up call that I am not "out of the water yet" just because I have announced it (way earlier than I did with past pregnancy's) doesn't mean I am "safe" So it kinda made me stop and think and wonder if I could handle it if something was wrong? Could my kids? I know the answer is yes. But I still haven't slept very good since this realization hit me. I am sure it will all be fine and all this worrying will have been for nothing. But either way I cant wait till tomorrow.

Spring Break

We are counting down the days till Spring Break. We are really looking forward to going to Idaho for Spring Break. We cant wait to see Jason and our families. 12 days left!

Dentist

This morning I took the girls in to get their teeth cleaned and check for cavities. It was Lindsay's first dentist appointment, they had explained to me that when the dentist comes in to look at her teeth that I will need to hold her on my lap facing me and then have her lean back and hold her arms while the dentist looks. About the same time that the assistant was explaining all this to me, Lindsay crawled out of my lap and climbed up and plopped down in the big chair and gave us a big smile... I still planned on holding her in my lap when the dentist did come in, But it ended up I didnt need too, they reclined the chair and the whole time she just had a huge smile on her face and opened right up for the dentist. I warned the dentist that she bites my fingers while I am trying to brush her teeth all the time. But OF COURSE she didnt even try to bite the dentist (dont get me wrong I was relieved but what a stinker....) When she was all done she got to go pick out a book.
Oh yeah and No Cavities for any of my kiddos wahoo!

I videoed this yesterday for my parents. Feel free to watch it if you want.
