Oops!

We borrowed Chuck Seasons 1-3 from Joe's brother a few weeks ago and apparently someone was in the room watching more often than we thought.

Look at that face! What happened to my little boy?

Surprise!

Joe took Jay out to run some errands today and when they came back Jay had a new haircut!

I guess Joe decided that I was too busy to cut it and took him to the barber.

The barber said he was the best 2 year old she'd ever cut hair for. I was shocked at this until Joe told me that they brought his tiger (named Tiger) in and Jay hugged him the whole time. What a big boy!

Halfway There

Here is your official belly shot, Janelle. Finally 20 weeks! I thought it would never come.

Jayisms

(Jay "helping" me pick weeds)

Joe, Jay, and I were all riding on the bench seat of Joe's carpet cleaning van with Jay in the middle. Jay grabbed both of our arms and made Joe and I hold hands. Then he started playing with my wedding ring.

Jay: "Mommy, take off your ring."
Me: "Jay, I can't take off my ring. Do you know what this ring means?"
Jay: "No."
Me: "It means Mommy and Daddy are married and we'll be together forever. And you will be ours forever too."
Jay: "Oh... Where's my ring?"

Today, I was lazy and wore my hair in pig tails.

Me: "Jay, do you like Mommy's pig tails?"
Jay (grabbing both pig tails): "No... this one's an elephant tail and this one's a monkey tail."

I'm trying to not take the elephant tail comment as a reference to my growing belly. But it's hard not to when more than once lately Jay has referred to me as his "Big Mommy".

"Sisters, Sisters"

My sister, Amy, finally came to visit St. George! It was a blast. She brought her four adorable little boys... And her husband of course. Unfortunately, I only got a few pictures of the adults in the background with no real proof that we were actually having fun. So you'll have to take my word for it. But I got plenty of the kids.

We did a ton of fun stuff...

We went hiking in Zion's.

Had an Easter Egg Hunt.

And went to a super cool park in Colorado City.

The best part about the park... and probably my sister's visit... was a huge slide that ran down the side of a hill.

If you slide on a blanket, you go really fast.

Those polygamists know how to party.

We also hit a splash park on Saturday while the husbands went to Las Vegas, but I didn't bring my camera. We had fun at the park but not as much fun as the guys who went to three or four buffets in a 10 hour period of time! Apparently, they both got sick but somehow still loved it.

Oh well, it was so awesome to have my sister's family here. Come again anytime Amy!

It's A...

Boy!!!

We are so excited!

Now if only I had an excuse to go buy more cute baby clothes... too bad I have enough boy stuff to outfit septuplets through the age of four.

Released!

I was released from Nursery yesterday!.. After a whole year! I pretty much feel like I haven't been to church in that long. Yesterday, I went to Sunday School and Relief Society for the first time since we moved here. So that's what the Spirit feels like. Just kidding. Hehe.

I have to say... and this will probably come back to bite me... I hope that I don't get that calling again until my kids are out of the house. Does that make me a selfish, toddler-hating human? Cuz I really do love my own toddler.
