Pregnant With Multiples!

So just because my computer has decided that 5000 photos is all it will hold, does not mean that I can't post something!

Here is the story...

I got a cat for Addie at Christmastime. Her name is Emma. We ran out of food for Emma for about two weeks. We just sort of used free samples of cat foods and anything else we could find to feed her. It worked out pretty well because we were able to teach her to be a mouser. She caught a lot of mice and did not starve to death.

Well... we finally bought her some food about a week ago and ever since I have been wondering if she is pregnant or just eating too much!?

After researching on the internet, I have decided that Emma is pregnant. And just in time. Addie is staying with Grandma Connie and she called to inform me that she wants one of Bradlie's kittens and we could just sell Emma. Kittens really are cute, I can't blaim her except that Emma is only eight months old herself!

So after gently massaging her tummy to feel for babies I have calculated her due date to be around the 12th of July. I hid a box under the porch with a soft blanket inside in hopes that Emma will choose this secluded spot for birthing. I also am not telling my kids about this spot so the cat will feel it is safe. (As I type, I am realizing that I sound a little wacky! I think I might be a little baby hungry and this is as close as I can get. I will take it!)

Wish me luck on my new additions! I can't wait!

Spring Break Continued


This is our Spring Break in a nutshell.  A very large nutshell.  There are only about 200 photos to look at but you must remember that this is where I put all my photos and journal about our life.  So as boring as it might be to some of you, this is our life.  I take lots of pictures and delete hardly any.  Good luck getting through all of this post.



Swimming
At the Fugal condo there is an indoor and outdoor pool.  Needless to say, we swam two times almost every day.  First thing in the morning and last thing before baths and bedtime.  We had lots of friends come swimming with us from time to time.  Among these were the Johnson's, Howell's, Taylor's, Green's, Hutchinson's, Newman's, and Hillstead's.  We were lucky to have so many friends there to hang out with.

Fiesta Fun
A trip to St. George isn't complete without visiting this place.  When we arrived we saw four other cars with a Star Valley license plate.  Dave brought his boys and the Newman's kids and we had our kids.

Jase was almost tall enough to drive the car himself


Mom and Jase
Addie didn't want to at first, and then decided she had some racing blood in her after all.




Jase cheating at the games.  Is it cheating if he still got zero points?


Date Night
It seems that on vacation we are better about doing date night than when we are at home.  I was pretty frustrated with Bryce being gone biking and playing golf so much that he wasn't the most pleasant date.  It was still fun though to get out as adults.

John Green was nice enough to watch our kids while we went on a date with the Taylor's and Johnson's
Drew is so much fun to go out to eat with!

Bryce wasn't quite as into it.  Red Lobster was still good though.



Hiking
While the boys were off riding their motorcycles, again, Amanda, Rachel, and I decided to go for a little hike and picnic with the kids.

I love pictures with my kids and me
We hiked to the top of this rock and the wind was blowing like crazy!

The best part of hiking is the picnic

The kids fold-out couch was their favorite



First Motorcycle Ride
We got the kids a motorcycle for Christmas.  Hayden finally got to try it out, and he did great!  He drove away a little wobbly but he loved it.  We really wanted to make sure he had a good first experience-and it was.

Zion's National Park
This day ended up being so fun.  Just us and our imaginations.  We hiked a few spots, had a picnic, and did lots and lots of exploring.

We drove through a tunnel that was mile and a half long.  We always hold our breath when we go through tunnels and the kids thought they could do it through this one!  Too cute!



I asked Jase nicely to not play in the puddle but it didn't work


This was the view from Weeping Rock



This will quite possibly be our Christmas card this year

Check out that grin on Jase's face!
