first comes love,


then comes marriage. Then comes 4 babies in a baby carriage!

Yep we are expecting baby number four! We are super excited! Due in December on Christmas day!

Feeling much better lately. I still have be on my guard of things that make me vomit. (like typing the word) But yeah, much better!

The kids are super thrilled. Ben said "oh yeah! I've been wanting another baby forever!" It has been fun to hear the things they say about when the baby comes. I am going to have three very helpful children I have a feeling. :)

When Daddy comes home...

This is just one example of why Zach is the greatest dad in the world! We are ALL so glad when daddy comes home! :)
Oh, I found this video when watching videos with the kids. This is when Ben was two. :)

"Tend that for me."


Mother's day thoughts from a poem from President Monson's biography.

"Father, where shall I work today?"
And my love flowed warm and free.
Then He pointed out a tiny spot
And said, "Tend that for me."
I answered quickly, "Oh no, not that!
Why no one would ever see,
No matter how well my work was done.
Not that little place for me."
And the word He spoke, it was not stern;
He answered me tenderly:
"Ah, little one, search that heart of thine:
Art thou working for them or for me?
Nazareth was a little place,
And so was Galilee."

This makes me teary and puts things into perspective. Happy Mother's day!

I want to bottle them up!

I took these first two pictures yesterday and fell in love with my kids again. I love their randomness! I thought, "I want to bottle them up and preserve them just as they are!"

Currently Josh is so proud he can get undressed. I wasn't fast enough with this picture. Just before this he was standing facing the fridge with his pants at his ankles. :)
Sarah is as sneaky as a cat! She wakes up quite often in the night and we (using our CSI skills) attempt to figure out how long she was up by how brown the apples are or how warm the string cheese is. Most the time she puts herself back to bed. Every once in a while we find her in the hall way or some other random place.
Under this table at the end of the hall is a new favorite location for sneaking food she isn't sure if she should be eating.
Josh and Sarah both like to "help do the dishes". They both usually end up soaked. This time Sarah got creative. It was funny to turn around and see her sticking her head in the bowl. She really is random. :)
In this stash of pictures I only had this one of Ben. I thought it was funny he was so relaxed in his efforts of putting on chap stick. He usually is pretty chill when he's home. We miss him when he's gone. He is a big helper with Josh and Sarah and often helps me figure out little problems.
The most recent one being why our house smells like skunk sometimes. "Mom, I know why our house smells like skunk sometimes. It's because of Josh and his poopy diapers." :) I don't know what I'd do without him! :)
