Update

So the last 2 weeks I have not wanted to do one stinking thing...I think I am in a funk, but on my way out. I am hoping that the dishes get done today and that the laundry that has been folded and in the basket for the last week gets put away also. I don't know what is going on, I just don't feel like doing anything. I get like this every once in a while and then I start beating myself up over not having things done, and Justin has to remind me that I just need to take care of the important things(Jaxon and myself)and that the other things can wait. I am so glad that I married such a patient and understanding man. I don't hear one complaint about him having to go digging through the laundry basket for work clothes or having to ask if the dishes in the dishwasher are clean. He is so good to remind me to lay off myself and just relax. For some reason I feel like my house needs to be as clean as a show house sometimes. Probably cause that is the way my house was growing up. Dishes have to be done, nothing out of place, beds made, etc. I need to remember that I am only human, 11 weeks pregnant, and chasing/entertaining a 3 year old and that stuff doesn't always matter. Dr. Laura said it best one day, "as long as your house is clean enough that DCFS doesn't want to take your kids from you, thats all that matters, and that for the next 18 years your house is a toy box." She also said that "if people don't like the way your house looks then they don't need to come over." I really agree with what she said that day and have tried to remember these words when I start to get down on myself.

In other positive news Jaxon and I have both been to the dentist and are cavity free. We also went to his 3 year old well check and he is right on target and very healthy. I went in to the doc, filled out some OB paperwork and had blood drawn (yeah I am still bruised a week later) and a pregnancy test (which Justin asked me if it came back positive! lol). I go in for my first OB visit on October 14th. I am looking forward to it, mainly hoping to hear a heart beat, but could totally go with out the nasty exam part. I will be 13 weeks along by then, I can't believe that we are almost 1/3 of the way through!! I had a dream the other night that it was a girl...hope that is a good sign! I feel pretty good for the most part, not so tired anymore and not as queasy. I am happy to say though that I have only thrown up once. Knock on wood!

Speaking of throwing up, Jaxon has a touch of the flu today. So I guess we will stay in our jammies and watch movies all day. Poor kid, I hate when they are sick, they are so miserable and there isn't much you can do for them!
Anyway, that's about all that has been going on. Watch for more updates to come!!

What A Weekend!!

Justin and I had a FABULOUS weekend!! We dropped Jaxon off at Justin's sister's house and headed to Heber/Park City for the day. We ate at our favorite steakhouse, Bandit's, wondered Main Street in Park City, then headed down to West Valley for the most fun concert ever. We bought tickets to Brad Paisley way back when they first went on sale, and decided that would be our treat for our anniversary that was in July. We both have really wanted to see him and were so excited to go! We had GREAT seats, 7th row from the stage. So close you could almost reach out and touch them! It was the best concert ever, probably one of the best I have seen. So here are a few pictures for your viewing pleasure...thanks Brad for a wonderful night!! Dierks Bently...that guy has a ton of energy!!

The infamous Brad Paisley...mmmmmmm.

The coolest picture we took! We loved the movies he showed on the big screen.

He and his band singing about water. They are amazing together!

I am pretty sure he was singing to me on this one...too bad he forgot to look at me!

It was so much fun to spend some one on one time with Justin. The concert was like re-living our wedding all over again because a lot of the songs we heard we had played at our wedding reception. After the long drive home we slept in til 9:00 the next morning, had a lazy morning then decided that we missed Jaxon so we headed to Price to pick him up.
I love weekends like that!

My Brain is Gone

It's official, my brain has gone down the drain. I can't keep anything straight anymore, nor can I remember anything, not even what I had for breakfast this morning! Just kidding, it was a yummy glazed doughnut...healthy right?!

Anyway what I mean is ever since I found out I was pregnant I really can't keep anything straight. Lets take this week for example, (I know, it's only Monday!) I usually have Wednesdays off, but I am working this one so I can have Saturday off. Yeah I scheduled 2 doctor visits and a dentisit appt. all for this Wednesday! I am sure they were all thrilled with me this morning when I had to call and move them to next week!

Then, I can't remember if I gave my dog his heart worm medicine last month (pretty sure I didn't, but don't dare give it to him yet this month). I am lucky that all of my bills have been paid on time and that I remember to feed and water my son. I know they say it is normal, but it drives me CRAZY because I am usually so organized and on top of things. When I was pregnant with Jaxon I could never remember if I shut my garage door or not. Good thing my sweet neighbor understood and was always willing to go out and check for me!!

Just wondered if this has happened to anyone else?!?!

Jaxon is 3 Today

My big man turned 3 at 3:16 a.m. It is so hard to believe that he is 3 already. Time flies way too fast and it seems like he shouldn't be this old. My friend and I were talking about how they are not babies anymore, but little people. I love having this little guy follow me around all day and talk my ear off. Happy Birthday Jaxon!! We love you!!

Our Onion Days Weekend

We had so much fun at the Onion Days Celebration this last weekend. It was a full weekend with fireworks, the carnival, Jaxon's birthday party, and the parade.

It started with the fireworks on Friday night. We sit up at Springlake Elementary School. It is a great spot cause no one is ever there and they have the playground for the kids to play on while we are waiting. We grilled some yummy burgers and just hung out, watching the kids play.

This picture is kind of blurry, but this is the scooter that Jaxon 'found' at the playground. I am assuming some kid left it there after school, and so Jaxon took full advantage of it! P.S. The fireworks were lame this year, hence no pictures of them.

On Saturday they had the firemans open house. Jaxon has been really interested in fire trucks and the fire station lately, so this was right up his alley.

Sitting in the drivers seat of the ladder truck. Notice the grin...he thought he was pretty cool!

After the open house at the fire station we headed over to the carnival. We had lots of fun, and it was great cause there wasn't a ton of people there. Last year Jaxon was really only old enough to ride the merry go round, but this year he got to ride lots more...another reminder he is getting bigger.

He really liked this one, the dragon went up and down

On Sunday we had his birthday party. My family came over in the afternoon for cake and ice cream, and then Justin's family came over later for a taco dinner, which I totally forgot to take pictures of. I like to think I have a good excuse for forgetting though!

His magna doodle from Grandma & Grandpa. I know it's hard to read, but his shirt says "I'm going to be a big brother." That's how we told everyone we were expecting.

Opening more presents. Notice the pile of wrapping paper...yeah he is a spoiled kid!

His Spider Man birthday cake, which by the way tasted really good.

Thank you Walmart Bakery for making my life a little easier.

Monday was the big parade. It's not a great picture cause the sun was right in our eyes, but we had fun and Jaxon got a ton of candy.

All in all it was a great weekend. Justin and I also went to one of my BFF's wedding Saturday night which was fabulous. We got to see/catch up with old friends and had a great time.

The Big One...

I am so excited that I finally get to post this on here and start telling people our exciting news...we are pregnant with baby #2!!!!! We are so excited to be having another baby!! We are due in late April (the online calender says the 24th.). This just happens to be 5 days after my birthday. Nothing like being 9 months pregnant on your 27th birthday right?! Who cares though, we have waited a long time for this to finally happen and are so happy that it has finally happened!! I have felt pretty good (even better now that we can tell people!), just a tad nauseous and tired. Anyway, I will post more later on how we told family and all that jazz, for now just keep your fingers crossed for a girl!!

Yesterday's Project

I love Roberts Arts & Crafts! I could definitely spend a lot of money in there! I wandered through the other day and saw all their cute Fall decor and lots of cute decorating ideas. They had these wood blocks that spelled out "Give Thanks" that I really wanted, but couldn't justify spending $35.00 on them. So, fast forward to this week when I check my inbox and there was a 50% off one item coupon from Roberts. SCORE!!! Here is the end result of my shopping extravaganza!

My kitchen table

Yeah, I was pretty proud of myself!
