Here’s are Growing up little Princess.

We are getting the house and the Easter Egg Hunt ready for Sierra’s 4th Birthday on Saturday.

I’ve been to the Gym every day this week so far! and hope to go the rest of the week.

I’m still feeling well with this pregnancy. Sometimes I get ill but It’s only becuse I havn’t eaten for a while.

I went to a really Fun RS Home, Family & Personal Enrichment Night at the church last night. First we started by going to a Members house for Appetizers really good artichoke dip, antipasto squares, brioche, stuffed mushrooms, punch and more, then we headed to the church for a dinner for the RS Birthday. We made English Muffin Pizzas, shared some new information about ourselves with eachother, and we each put in a basket a service that we could do for someone else and at the end we picked one out. I get Indian Food from a friend and gave a Coupon Potluck and couponing tips(no one cashes those in) we will see though. I also won a box of Godiva Chocolates for sitting in the right chair. There were over 50 people there and 3 chairs had a paper cupcake under them and mine was one of them. =) Then we sang Happy Birthday to US and people ate cake and Ice Cream(I chose not to).

I hate negative posts.

But. . .It was the worst Parade We have ever seen. There seemed to be 15 minute intermissions because some groups were coming so slowly. There were only 2 bands and they were 1 bagpipe 1 drum/fife. There were no school bands. It was mostly just people and their kids walking down the strees. 1-2 floats that were very bad. There were NO horses! and it took over 2 1/2 hours. No cheering no clapping =( just from me. and even the prople in it didn’t wave much.

Cutest Little Daisy Scout though! Here are the pics.

Nathan and I had fun joking about it. That was the best part.

I took Sierra to Ballet this morning and had the rest of the day off.

I went Test Driving today
I used a test Drive voucher for the Toyota Tundra in a couple months I should see my $50 to the Home Depot. I spent 2 1/4 hrs test Driving the Tundra and the Sienna van with Sierra. It was actually very fun. I really like the decked out Sienna. The Tundra was a little too big.

Then Minha and I took a trip to Target! It was fun I picked out Eater Dresses for the girls and headed back home. Sierra fell asleep on the way home she rarely does that. I plopped her on the sofa with a blanket where she stayed until about 4:45pm

Feeling a little under the wether from 3:00 on hope it goes away soon.

St Patrick’s Day

We really had a Fun Green Day!

The morning started with a look in the fridge to see that a Leprechaun had Changed the color of our milk to GREEN. Then I told the girls that he had left me a note to put our a Shamrock hunt(he didn’t have time) So I set out about 8 clues for them to go to places in the house and find a Pot of Gold at the end of the rainbow which was actually. . .A cup of Yellow Marshmallows. They Loved it!

Then I told them they would be lucky if they ate what Leprechauns ate So we ate Lucky Charms with Green milk for breakfast.

I packed Haileys Lunch with a Leprechaun note that said, “Top of the Mornin’ to ya” from Mom, Dad, and Sierra. And sent Green Juice Boxes, Green Marshmallows, and a vanilla pudding with a Green lid.

Sierra also got a bag of green Marhsmallows on her way to preschool.

I went to the Gym to Latin Rhythyms Dance class my 4th class it was fun!
Picked up Sierra, She made a shamrock and got a Lucky coin from a classmate. Took her to McDonalds to play and have lunch.

Came home made Green Jello and we both napped. I put together some papers for Primary invitations to give talks that I’d like to start a mailbox with.

Then Hailey came home from school and we headed to the grocery store. I picked up the Peas for dinner and a bunch of other things spent $68 saved $57.

Headed home the girls sqhished up green pistachio pudding while I cooked dinner
Green Mashed Potatos
Gravy
Chicken Cordon Bleu
Peas
Lime Green Jello
Green Cool Whip for the Jello
and a Green Apple

Then for dessert we ate the Pistachio pudding.

It was a bunch of fun!

I’m Not FAT!!
I may look fat the scale may tell me I’m fat but my % of body fat is awesome compared to 9 mo ago. I was 34% then in November I was 26% even though I’ve only really lost about 5 pounds in 12 mo. But it’s the body fat Percentage that is doing the best I’m now down to 23% and It feels great! Too bad my clothes and body don’t reflect that. I just have GREAT sturdy Muscles. I thought I’d get it checked before I go downhill with a pregnancy again. So when you look at me you can say That’s ALL muscle! =)

=) =) =) =)

Here’s our little Cotton Ball.

It’s one baby, One heartbeat, 6 weeks old and just as cute as can be and it’s going to have blonde to light brown hair. =)

I’ve never had an ultrasound this early in my pregnancies but it’s SOOOOO nice to see. I got to hear the little heartbeat – which you don’t normally do until 10 weeks and I got to see the little heart beating like a flapping butterfly. It was very exciting. The picture isn’t as clear as if you were there watching the screen.

I talked with a nutitionist about my childrens vitamins and she said that’s great. She also gave me some new pills from Enfamil that have DHA in them like in Fish to help the Brain and Eye Function which could also reduce our risk of Alzheimers disease. I hope I can keep them down. So far I haven’t been toooo sick. Still really like Plain Cereal, Yogurt, taco bell soft tacos, and keep wanting my Strawberry Smoothies/Raspberry Zerberts.

All is well.

First Doctor Visit.

I should have found a babysitter for this one. The girls were doted upon for their looks and hair and personality and I couldn’t get them to be quiet long enough to speack with the Dr. (who was happy to just listen to them)

I had a check up, Blood pressure, weight, urine, etc and after all that they told me I needed to get my Blood taken too. So about 1 1/14 hrs into my appointment I went in and got poked so they could fill up 6 tubes of my blood for testing. That stunk but the girls were all over it. I told them if they saw me crying then it hurt, they didn’t see me crying and we talked about what the Vampire was going to do with my blood(I didn’t call her a vampire in front of the girls) I just thought it after the fact.

So the Dr told me to come back tomorrow for an ultrasound to try to get a better due date and to take a look at my kid vitamins to see if I’m getting enough folic acid. So I get to see my baby tomorrow. We think I’m about 6 weeks pregnant right now. It already feels like 3 months! but it’s probably only 5 weeks. I guess that’s wat we will find out.

Till then!

What we woke up to this morning. . .It’s the girls ritual; they come to our bedroom about 6:30 or 7:00am and ask to play a computer game. I say yes, or go play the piano first, then when they get bored I’m never sure what they are going to come up wth next and I’m pretty sure they won’t do anything too stupid or dangerous since they kjnow the rules and what there is to play with. Here’s what I found and they has SOOO much fun making it and palying with their Chair Boat:

Sierra wanted to take a picture of me and couldn’e get something to work this is her, “I just Can’t Get It Right” Face

We made our Snowman Family Friday. . .They all fell over. No great pictures.
