Our new addition has arrived!!

Our Baby boy #4 has made his grande entrance!  He was born on Sunday and is the cutest little thing!  We love him and can tell he will be spoiled by his big brothers.  Austin LOVES being a "BIG" brother and is filling those shoes quite well.  Parker and Blake are a great big help, it's nice having older boys too!  All is well here.  Thanks to everyone for the nice gifts and food!  I am so excited to be done with pregnancy and labor, I'm finally feelin up to par and am loving this baby!  Happy Day!!!!

Court!

Basketball court that is!  :)  Parker finished his season just before Christmas.  I have been so bad at blogging lately.  He did well and made some awesome plays and scored some baskets, which earned him a big hooprah from mom and a slurpee from dad.  Blake is playing on two different basketball teams this season.  One for the rec league for the city and a competitive team with his school buddies.  He's doing extremely well and was just awarded some new b-ball shoes, so he thinks he's quite the pro.  (Mom and Dad figure they'll make good hand me downs for his brothers, win/win situation!)

Parker and Austin are his biggest fans, they even wear their jerseys, so funny!

I do love basketball and enjoy watching it, so it's good to have two different games and practices every week.  It sure keeps me busy and my mind off other things like, WHEN IS THIS BABY GOING TO GET HERE??  I do feel as big as a house and am extremeley exhausted 90 percent of the time, I honestly hope it's soon!!  I feel like a very stretched out elastic, if only a tummy were like an elastic and it would bounce right back after baby!! :)

Happy New Year!!

Can u believe it is already 2010??  Well things have been very busy and fun with family time.  Now that Blake and Austin are back in school, I have had some fun one on one time with Parker, he doesn't start back up until Monday.  I took him to Barnes and Noble yesterday and he couldn't get over that you have to pay for books there, because we always go to the library and teh books are free, it was funny.  He loved goint to the store with me and he even got the free cookie :)  He remembers doing that when he was little.  I love my Parker.  I'm thinking of taking him to the new Farrs in Clinton, has anyone been?  I wonder if it is the same as the Farr's in Ogden, anyone know???? 
I can say that in the last 2 and half weeks I have seen every bowl game on tv.  My boys are just eating it up.  It's hard now that Blake is back in school and the games go late and I have to drag him to his bed.  His precious Boise state played monday night and we had to tape the end of the game for him to watch in the morning, amazing that they won with the fake punt!  Fun times.  One of their favorite things we did over the holiday, was playing laser tag at Boondocks.  Have you checked it out yet?  Fun fun fun!  I haven't been very good about taking pictures, I just don't want to carry the camera around, so I don't have much to post but I just want to say I have loved every family moment we have had this last while, I loved having the kids home and the holiday break!  I feel like we've had our last little hooprah as a family of five, I can focus on this baby coming.  I am almost ready, I need one more thing, I can say I definately have the necesseties, given that I've had 3 boys already!!    

Merry Chistmas and a Happy NEW year!!

We did go see the lights this year, first week in December.  We went with the YM and YW from our ward.

Ever since Basketball season started my kids have been very "busy"  they practice in the garage as much as they can.  Austin loves that he gets his brothers old jerseys and can be on the same team as them.  You know we truly are building our own B-ball team.  This picture cracks me up!

So I finally hit the 30 week mark and I feel HUGE!!  I hate posting this picture, but here ya go.  This baby is definately growing!

We love the snow and I love that it is snowing today!!  The kids were building a fort, unfortunately it has snowed more since and it is buried.  They'll have to start all over. :)

I hope you all have a wonderful holiday, we wish you the very best!!

The latest

I have to post about this.  Blake went to 2 retirement homes today to perform with his "Spectropia" chimes group and loved it!  This morning before he went he was asking me what retirement and nursing homes were.  He was excited to get out of doing schoolwork all day.  Anyway, when he got home from school he had a big smile on his face and this is what he told me, "The retired people are good at bowling on the wiI Mom!"  Blake said both places they went to had bowling on wii, so much for Bingo, now we have the wii to look forward to when we get older!!  He told me that "they were good and quick for being really old!"  He cracked me up because of how surprised he was.  I must've made it sound like they were "really" old, which makes me wonder what I said exactly.....
Parker had his Basketball game on Saturday and made three baskets got a couple assists and great rebounds.  Every day all three of my boys put on their Basketball jerseys and play basketball.  I wish walls were indestructable, unfortunately for my house, they are not.

Austin still thinks the baby can hear him better if he yells into my mouth!

These boys of mine are great!  I love them!

On a bittersweet note, I was released from Young Womens on Sunday, I will miss the girls and leaders.  I am wondering what calling is in store for me next......what do you give a pregnant women with a husband in Bishopric to do, hmmmm?? I love serving and it'll be interesting to see what comes my way, I'll keep ya posted.  In the meantime I'M FREE!!!  HA Ha ha

P.S. Sorry no pics, I'll post some next time, I have tons, I'm just too lazy to walk into the kitchen and get my camera....the honest brutal truth!!  :)

Tis the season.....

To be shopping!!!!  :)  Having fun out there?  Anyone done?  I can't believe it's Christmas in 17 days!!  AHHH!  I hope all finds you well!  Things have been super crazy with Park and Blake in Basketball and Blake starting in a comp league.  Austin is keeping up with me and the holiday hub-bub.  My pregnancy seems to be going well, he is an active little guy!  I hate the heartburn and am not sleeping well aready, but I am so excited for this little guy to arrive!  Ry and I still can't decide on a name, so silly.  I love that it snowed this weekend and I am looking forward to more...Let it snow!!  Love ya all!

Parker's First

Parker had his first Basketball game on Saturday.  Parker was so excited ALL day, waiting for his game.  He played VERY well of course and had a great time, can't wait until next weekend!

Now I have to confess....Most of you know that I do not like chocolate...........Well I found a treat that I truly enjoy, infact, my mouth is watering right now because I am thinking about it.  Has anyone had V chocolates Pretzels......OOh they are HEAVEN, it's a pretzels smothered in carmel and covered in milk chocolate and sprinkled with a little salt on top, can I just say YUM!!  Well yesterday I found the V chocolates kiosk in the mall and ran over to it :)  Guess what they had, another HUGE weakness of mine..a carmel covered apple smothered in white chocolate--Needless to say I bought one and shared it with my family last night for our FHE treat and can I just say I AM IN HEAVEN!! Ha ha I love V chocolates--so funny I know, but have you seen my expanding waistline----ha haha!  :)
