Peace and Quiet

Well Joshua had his first day of preschool yesterday =) and although I enjoy the peace and quiet it seems kinda lonely without him. He loves school though and he was so excited and more than ready to go. He came home telling me about everyone there except he couldn't remember their names so he would tell me the color they were wearing instead for example he told me..."I didn't get to be the line leader today the person in the orange shirt did" Mary is loving school I think that her excitment for school has made it a little easier on me. I was worried that she was going to hate being there all day especially since sometimes they don't get all the recesses that they are supposed to but it doesn't seem to phase her. She has beening mainly working on math at school and reading at home. On another note Mary was asked yesterday at her dance class if we could move her up to the advanced dance class because she was at the top of her dance class=) Sorry i just wanted to brag about her a little bit=) She was so excited that as soon as we had service on our cellphone she had to call Nana =) Anyway thats about all that is going on with us for right now.

HERE'S...WILL!

So Aly and Spencer and spencers mom Jamie came down for a quick visit today, actualy Spencer came down to take a test, which test i can't remember. but I got to visit with Aly and hold Will, who by the way is adorable=) David took his lunch once i called him to tell him that Aly and Spencer were here because he wanted to see the baby also=) Joshua was also able to hold and visit with Will. Will also likes to make faces at the camera just like his mommy and daddy=) and don't tell anyone but....I think i'm his favorite Aunt Laura=) Joshua loved the baby and is getting even more excited for our little one to get here. Joshua watched Aly change Wills diaper and all of a sudden Joshua said "Wow he has a big pee pee"needless to say Spencer, Aly, Jamie and I started laughing. Mary was a little sad when we told her that Aly and spencer had already left but she cheered up a bit after looking at all the pictures we took of the baby and when we told her we would be able to see the baby in a little more than a week.

Busy, Busy, busy

Well i guess i haven't done a blog for two weeks..oops. anyway on the 8th of August mary had her summer dance showcase and she was AWESOME! she had a blast they were able to have the showcase in the cedar high auditorium so they danced on a stage=)

she was front and center which i think boosted her self esteem=) then on the 14 of August she started 1st grade=) =( she loves it so much and joshua loves the mommy joshua time but still having her gone all day just seems weird=) also on the 14th we got to meet with joshuas preschool teachers=) they were both very nice and they couldn't believe how smart joshua was when they tested him to see what he would need to work on once school starts(which is the 25 of August=( )and where he is learning wise. He needed to at least at the max score an 18, he scored a 21 =) so in other words he passed with flying colors. He is so excited to go to school also....that will be really weird. Mary also gets to ride the bus this year which she loves, i honestly thought it might be a little scary for her but she informs me that i am wrong and that it is soooooo much fun. On thursday also David felt the baby kick for the first time which made him very happy....me i have had a horrible cold all week long which our friend chansen gave me just by bumping into me=( it got bad enough that when i went in for my doctors appointment for the baby on thursday the doctor gave me antibiotics which have helped so very much because now i can actually talk and breath=) i guess not being able to breath and coughing up yucky green stuff isn't normal...anyway today(17 of Aug.) joshua was talking to my belly and when he laid his head on my belly and told the baby who he was she kicked him=) his head popped up and his eyes were huge and he was so excited that she kicked him=) anyway thats about all thats happened in the last little bit. Take Care.

BABY UPDATE!!!!!

Well my ultrasound was moved up to today (Aug. 5th) instead of having it on the 12th. So we know what we're having now =) would you all like to know?......IT'S A GIRL!!!!!!! mary and joshua were so cute while we were in there they were very observant=) the ultrasound tech was very impressed with their knowledge of the different body parts they saw, like the head the legs the belly and the arms and what they didn't recognize they asked questions about they were both really excited when the tech announced that it was a girl all joshua could say for a bit there was "See I told you it was a girl =)" they also told me i was 21 weeks instead of 20 weeks along like i thought i was...she is one long baby though=)i don't know if i was imagining things but i swear this ultrasound was sooooo incredibly clear we could see all the bones and everything,we are all very excited=) now onto last week. We had a busy week trying to clean house and declutter but for some strange reason my house looks just as bad as it did before we started to clean=( we then headed up north to take mom her mexi van =) and we kept hoping Aly would have the baby but unfortunatly she still hasn't popped, But i did have a great time on saturday with suzi, aly and mom. We had lunch at kneaders and then we went walking around the mall (trying to help aly along=) ). David the kids and i then travled home on sunday and on monday i started and finished "Breaking Dawn" which was really really good=) well thats about all for now.
