Last day of school

Kaleb had his last day of school a couple weeks ago, and his class spent it at the local park, with lunch and goodies.

Kaleb has learned so much at school and has made good friends. He loves his teacher Grandma K, and we are so grateful for her love and patience with all the kids. Kaleb can now write his name, recognize the alphabet and their sounds. He has experienced so much with Grandma K, at the beginning of school he was the only one not potty trained, they have watch caterpillars grow into butterflies, and gone on many behind the scenes field trips. We cannot wait till the next year to see what else he can learn.

False Alarm

I am 37 weeks pregnant (9months) and have been getting more and more uncomfortable, with my C-section date coming up(July 7) I am also getting anxious. So having what seemed like severe lower back pain to me last Saturday I was getting fed up. If I would stand to long back pain, sit for too long back pain! I have never really experienced this with my other pregnancies. I decided to turn in early to bed that night. Woke up as usual tossing and turning of being uncomfortable. It was 3am and I was moaning because of cramping/ tightening of my stomach. It wasn't too bad but something I haven't gone through before. I though oh no! WHAT IF i WAS IN LABOR! It didn't last long, but then again it was happening again and again and again! It would only last for no longer than a minute. I got out of bed because i just could not sleep, and went online to research Labor contractions, I was up for at least an hour and a half. Figured out they were not the "Real" ones. phew! I thought oh no! if I was having the real one's then we would have to wake everyone up and go to the hospital , plus i wasn't ready and didn't have my bag packed. Guess I have to be prepared now.

Went to church the next day Father's Day and was pretty exhausted yet happy.

Monday I had a doctor's appointment and told her about my false alarm. She said to take it easy. No more lifting heavy things (Jazelle). She checked his heartbeat and everything was good, she was really happy with my weight gain 5 lbs in 2 weeks! yikes and i feel it too. Now I am at the point where I go in every week! well I only have 2 left! I am excited yet nervous at the same time. I hope that our baby boy is healthy and strong.

Girl's Utah Trip

Last month Jazelle and I got to fly to Utah for a Girl's trip, what a fun experience. It was Jazelle's 1st airplane ride and my 1st time alone going through the airport. Jason and Kaleb helped us check in inside and we were on our way. Jazelle was so excited to see all the planes.

I had picked the window seat ahead of time so that Jazelle wouldn't be tempted to walk in the isles. Being 7 months pregnant I did not want to be chasing her. We were lucky everyone had boarded the plane and no one sat in the middle of us! it was supposed to be a full flight, so Jazelle got some much needed space.

The whole flight to Salt lake she did not sit still, the tray table was a big hit.

We arrived in Salt Lake, My father in law picked us up and we headed home. right when we got there Jazelle made herself comfortable in the house and was not shy at all.

It has been awhile since she had seen Papa G and Nona, but fell in love with them as soon as she walked in the door.

We had a great time while visiting, we met up with my sister in law and her kids and went to a children's interactive museum. It was so much fun.

They had a "music room"

The president's office where you could sit at the desk.

an Art section,

A "Tea Party" room, and a room for building blocks. There were many more different rooms i have not named but it was so fun to spend time with family.

My Inlaws have moved to a beautiful place in Midvale Utah.

This is a stream they have running through the back of their neighborhood.

It was also a beautiful day.

Later that day we had a Lunch date with Jason's Aunt. I had been talking with her through Facebook but have never met her before. It was so nice to finally meet her.

She is beautiful and has a wonderful spirit.

We met at the mall and she brought along 2 beautiful girls. Her granddaughters, I still can't believe she is a grandma.

Us and Aunt Cindy.

Beautiful Utah mountains.

Jazelle loves her Papa G.

We got to attend church and had to leave that evening.

My mother in law helped us again check into the airport and sent us on our way. We arrived early so I decided to hang out in the gift shop. Once we were kicked out I decided to head down to the gate, good thing because as we were walking to it they had a last call for boarding! We almost missed our plane! Apparently they were boarding early, so we got on everyone is in their seats and we have to squeeze into our window seat. As the plane is getting ready to leave the gate Jazelle vomits. I mean it was projectile too, I tried to catch as much as it as i could. The poor lady in the middle was frantically pushing the attendant button. Jazelle finally stopped and was feeling better as for me I was covered and so was the area where we were sitting. They brought us tons of towels and napkins, poured coffee grounds to mask the smell. Luckly I had an extra shirt for Jazelle in my bag. That was an experience, the lady in the middle had moved to another seat so yay for us again more room. It was so nice to get back home and see Jason and Kaleb.

Made with Love

My wonderful Homemade Mother's Day gift's.

My Mother's Day

My Mother's day weekend was so fun. It started with us going down to The Grove Farmers Market for Breakfast, at the Crepe shop. I have never had a crepe before and wanted to try it, and it was tasty :) Kaleb and Jazelle shared a huge waffle. After finishing up breakfast we walked around for a bit and watched the dancing fountain. It was a beautiful day.

After leaving the Grove we decided to go see the La Brea Tar Pits. A place I haven't been to since I was a kid.

These are real Tar Pits, the scientist are still finding bones in.

And phew did it smell.

And here is my surprise present.

A new rocking chair! Kaleb made a home made card for me as well.

Natural History Museum

We have museum free days the 1st Tuesday or Thursday of the month. I couldn't pass up something that was free! So I decided to take Jazelle and Kaleb to The Natural History Museum. Kaleb had school that day so after school we drove to LA. I love to get out and do things with the kids. It was a beautiful sunny California day as usual.

They had an outside Butterfly Garden, the kids were free but I had to pay a couple dollars, and it was worth it. There were tons of Butterflies flying around and landing right in front of you! We weren't allowed to touch them, but were very tempted. Jazelle was destined to pick one up, but they flew away so fast and startled her. :)

There were tons of different kind of butterflies. We learned that if they land and you shade them they will fly away because they are trying to warm up in the sun. It was a great experiment.

Inside the Museum we saw the Dinosaur bones, ate lunch, and visited they children's section.

They had a show and tell show where there were some interesting insects, Kaleb was not afraid to touch.

Kaleb and Jazelle got to dig for Dinosaur bones as well.

This was a new exhibit.

The Finned Whale.

Sneaky

Jazelle likes to go off on her own sometimes, closing the door behind her in bedrooms, and unrolling the toilet paper in the bathroom.

Well one day I saw her go into the bathroom and didn't think much of it, thought she was doing her usual thing. I called out for her minutes later, no answer. So I decided to get up and check on her. This is what I found....

She was in the sink trying to brush her teeth! She loves to climb and is very good at it apparently! I will need to keep my eye out for her, I love the look on her face.

Father/Son Camping

Jason had the opportunity to take Kaleb on the Father/son camp out with our ward. Kaleb was so excited to sleep in the tent and play with all his friends. They went on hikes, sat around the campfire and made smores. They had a dutch oven dinner.

The next day was full of games for the boys, water balloons, and a rocket launcher.

Kaleb was upset when it was time to take the tent down and go home. I am grateful for the memories Kaleb will have of him and Jason.

It's Spring!

Spring is my favorite time of year, the weather is cool, the sun is shining, and the flowers have bloom. I have decided I wanted pictures of our kids because it has been awhile. So we headed to the local park.

Here are the beautiful flowers behind our house.

The kids had fun finding lady bugs in the grass.
