Fun, fun, fun. . .

This ought to be the last belly pic.  It's gotten huge in the last couple weeks.
Have to save a pic of it cuz I didn't do it much with T, and just like everyone said. . .
I wished I had.
So here ya go, me in all my beached whale glory.  Cankles and all.  38 weeks.
At my Doctor apt last week, Dr. Haskett told me he thought my body was done carrying this baby and that he wouldn't be surprised if the baby decided to come that weekend!  Holy crap, it put me in a panic.  But also got me super excited because as you know, I am ready to be done!  Well it's Sunday night and no baby yet.  So we shall see.  But just in case this was going to be our last weekend with Tay in the spotlight for a while, we definitely took advantage of our 'freedom' and did some fun things with him. Saturday we played in the yard, went on a bike ride, had hot dogs at Macey's for lunch and played in the bounce house, went to Hee Haw Farm, and then ended our day o fun at The Living Planet Aquarium!  Such a fun day!  And I think Trey was really feelin the love.  Here's the few pics I did take. . . Love you Treagan O.  So much.  You are the happiest, funniest, sweetest little boy in the world, and I couldn't be more proud to call you my son!
I love this family of mine.
Pen, Quinner, Daddy, and Tay on the swing.
Hay Ride!
Somebody was afraid of the goat.
The goat was after his sucker. . . Wouldn't leave him alone.
Uncle Jare trying to talk Ammon into feeding the animals.
He was more brave with the babies.
Going up to the top of the slide with Daddy.
And coming down. . . ALL. BY. HIMESELF!  Haha everyone couldn't
believe that such a little guy could be so brave.  It was hilarious.
And of course he wanted to go again.  And again.
He could have stayed in the corn pit the entire time and been completely happy.

Ammon putting corn in his mouth.
Now onto the Aquarium.
Checking out the otters.
"Shishy"
Petting the baby sharks.  He's more brave than Mama is.

Waiting for the shark.
The cutest Captain and Co-Captain in the world.
Just had to add this pic from today.  He loves being outside in the warm sunshine and I LOVE that he loves it.
And he's still doing SO well in his big boy bed!  Could not be more proud of him!

I think I can, I think I can. . .

Who's that person with the big belly following me everywhere these days?
Well... We are getting dangerously close to that very bright light at the end of the tunnel! We have less than 2 weeks til our little guy arrives!  Since I had Treagan at 37 weeks I totally got out of what I had no idea was SO HARD!  These last few weeks this pregnancy have been really tough for me.  I've tried to keep upbeat and positive and busy, but can feel myself slowing down big time..  I'm not sure if it's because I have a toddler to tote around this time or if it's cuz I didn't get this huge last time, but for sure my back is in much worse shape this go around. I've had really bad sciatica and if I'm not careful, my legs give out and I fall... All the time.  It's so frustrating!  And I feel so big and awkward.  But good news is... Less than 2 weeks.  I can do anything for 11 days! As excited as I am to be donezo being an oven for this child, I'm also just cherishing every second I have alone with Tay.  He has seriously grown up so much in just the last couple months, it's been incredible to watch.  He knows all of his colors, can say all of our friends and family's names, knows all of his body parts, sleeps in a big boy bed, says his prayers, and doesn't have to be held by Mama every second of the day!!!  Finally!  He's also become a huge fan of Daddy lately, which will be a huge blessing when I can't give him as much attention. I'm feeling grateful that Colston waited a couple months to come to us because I feel like we are much more ready for him now than we would have been a little bit ago!  Ready as we will ever be I guess.  Anyway, just thought I'd jot down the family's guesses on Colston's size and hair description like we did with T.... So fun.  Ahhh we are soooo excited to meet him!  Also wanted to post a couple pics of Treagan's new room.
Steamed and sterile and ready to go!
The new double stroller.  Holy crap this gives me anxiety. 
Brushing our teeth, and Treagan laughing and Colston wiggling in my tummy.
Kelly and our neighbor worked hard on this dresser for T's room, I LOVE IT!
2 is always better than 1.
The big boy bed.
Airplanes and Choo Choo's.
And Cars and Tractors.
Colston's Guesses:
Daddy: 7 lbs. 4 oz.  20".  Same hair as T.
Mama: 7 lbs. 7 oz.  20 1/2".  A little bit more hair than T, and darker.
Gigi L: 7 lbs. 3 oz.  19 1/2".  More hair and darker than Trey's.
Todd: 7 lbs. 9 oz.  20".  A little bit of light brown hair.
Brad:  7 lbs. 11 oz.  20 1/2".  Thin, dark brown hair.
Gentry:  7 lbs.  8 oz.  19 1/2".  Same hair as T.
Ryan: 7 lbs. 2 oz.  21".  Brown mop for hair.
Daniel: 7 lbs. 6 oz.  21".  Same hair as T.
Allie: 7 lbs. 8 oz.  20".  More hair and darker than T's.
Papa: 7 lbs.  19 1/2".  A lot of light brown hair.
Gigi B: 7 lbs. 7 oz. 20".  A lot of light hair.
Brandt:  pending
Amy:  pending
Jared: 7 lbs. 20".  Medium amount of brown hair.
Penny: 7 lbs. 2 oz. 20.8".  Lots of brown hair.

So funny! All of our guesses are so close! Gonna come down to the ounces :) and nobody guessed bald so we could be completely shocked if we get a sweet bald little dude that doesn't weigh 7 lbs!
He looks like he's ready to be a big brother!!!
He thinks he's big now that he can climb all the way to the top of the slide by himself!
Other big news for the fam is that my baby sis graduated from BYU this last weekend!  So proud of that girl and love her more than words could ever say!  She's DA BEST!  Congrats Baba!  Love you to the moon!
The 3 Musketeers.
We are so proud of that cute girl.
Wahoo!

St. Geezy

Sand Volleyball Babes
Lucky for us, we got invited to go to St. George last week with our good friends, the Brewers.  It seriously was the funnest little trip!  Melissa and I are only two days apart, and our little boys are only one day apart!  And... we are both prego right now.  Kinda crazy.  Maybe that's why we all get along so well!  We are twinners.
On our way down.  Had to stop half way at a park to let their wiggles out, but they mostly did great!
We spent tons of time at this park right up the road from where we were staying.
He just loved being outside all day.
Jackson is way better than Treagan is at staying in the grocery cart!
This is how we spent our days.
The pool in their backyard.
This is the park we would drive to at night before dinner.
He learned how to walk up the slide and now he thinks he's so big.
Throwing rocks in the gutter.
His bruised legs from playing outstide.  He's all boyyyyy!
Melissa and I laid out during their naps one day and lost track of time.
Apparently preggers + sun = FRIED!
The boys watchin Mickey.
Wrestling match.
Bed time movies and cuddles.
More swimmin!
Mac n Cheeeeeese!
Of course you would, Treagan.  This kid catches everything!
So of course while we were there, he somehow came down with pink eye.
BLAHHH.  Poor kid.  Luckily we were able to keep our germs to ourselves and didn't get Jacks sick too!
Already time to head back home.
Yay for worn out and sleepy babies.
Thanks Jacks and Meliss for letting us come spend your Spring Break with you!  We had the best time!  Not a day has gone by that Treagan doesn't yell for "JACKSY!!!"  Haha they were so cute together.  Love you guys!
