Our Growing Family

Baby B sleeping with it's back towards up. 15 1/5 weeks.
Baby A looking right at us. 15 1/2 weeks.

In September we found out we were pregnant. Yes, both Randle and I were shocked to find this out. My IUD was only out a week when this happened. I never worried about having another because of my fertility issues. But apparently I was wrong. I went for my first appt on Oct 3rd. The Dr could see one heart beat, but the fetus was so small he couldn't measure it to tell how far along I was. So we were guessing because it was so small still that I was approx 6 weeks. So we just scheduled my next appt for Novemner 7th. On November 7th I went in and took Jesse with me. He was excited to see the baby. Not only did we get to see the baby, but I was told there were TWO babies. Jesse was excited about two babies and I was in shock about it. I had to tell Randle over the phone because he was at work and was wondering how my appt went. He took it pretty well. But even if he didn't, he had 3 hours at work before he came home to mull it over. So by the time he came home he seemed alright with things. But I have my suspicions that he about had a heart attack when I told him. To bad I couldn't see his face though. On that visit I should have been 11 weeks by how my first visit went, but both babies measured 13 weeks. So my due date went from end of May to May 14th. I went for my 3rd appt on December 5th. Babies both were measuring 17 weeks, which is right where I should be. As of right now it looks like 2 sacs, but 1 placenta. We'll be able to tell if there is 2 placentas next month. It is easier to tell the bigger they get (that is what I am told anyway). The doctor did give me a guess on what the gender is, but he was not 99% sure for either baby. So I am not really saying what he said until I get a 99% sure. They are still small enough that he said he can not be for sure until next visit when I will be 22 weeks. I will post pictures later. So that is the update on our little family for now.

Our Crazy Wyoming Winter

Just some photos of our crazy weather we have had this Winter.

Seriously Slacking!! A catch up of our Summer!

October 2nd - Erik had been visiting with Virginia for a week at the end of Sept to the beginnig of October. We were able to spend Friday night and Saturday day with them. Jesse picked out a haunted gingerbread house out for Erik, him and GG to put together while we were there. This is the finished product. Then we ate it!




Labor Day Weekend around the train station in Evanston.










Labor Day Weekend Parade and Pancake Breakfast.
Jesse and I went to the parade Monday morning of Labor Day and watched the parade with our good friends Bonnie and Dustin and their family. Jesse got tons of candy and we got to see lots of things in the parade. We also went and ate at the annual pancake breakfast after the parade. Delicious!







Jesse at his first day of pre-school- I am so sad that he is old enough for pre-school. He was so happy to be there. He now asks me if he can go everyday! I am not ready for him to be gone everyday.


Uinta County Air Show - August 28th









Jesse and Danica House



Witch-A_Palooza Ocotber 22 at Garnder's Village in West Jordan
My Aunt Janine got us all tickets to go. Me, My mom, Jesse, Kylie, Amy, Desi, and Jessica all went. We had so much fun. There were witches everywhere. We did the dinner theater and watched wonderful actresses and a actor put a on a play while we ate. Jesse loved it! This was Jesse and mine's second year to go. I think it is a new tradition we will keep up.

I thought that I had more photos of what we have done this summer, but then I realized that I DID have more photos, but NO longer have them. In August, when Jesse and I was on one of our walks, we were looking at some of yarn left in the Ice pond to find chicken on them and crawdads on them. I leaned over a bit to much and my cell phone fell in the pond. Gone forever! No I did not dive in after it, the water was way too cold. By By phone, by by photos that were on it.
In July Jesse and I did lots of walks at the Bear River State Park. He loved watching for the Moose roaming around. He loves going and looking at all the buffalo and Elk they have there as well.
In August and September, Evanston had lots of activites for us to do. I took Jesse to the Uinta County Fair, we got to see lots of animals, a Extreme Canine Dog Show, which Jesse got to help with, Parades, Swimming in the River and making crafts. It has been a fun busy Summer!

Cousins - July 24, 2010

Toby was trying to get Jesse, Camryn and Cheyanne out of his pool. The would hop out and he would hop in. When they would hop in with him, he would hop out and bark at them. See, Toby know that the pool is his and he didn't want to share. Toby doesn't usually like to share. But it was funny watching them go back and fourth, especially when more kids started getting in besides these three.

Uinta County Fair 2010 - EVANSTON

Jesse and I went to the Uinta County Fair on August 5th. He finished using his tickets for the carnival rides that we bought the day before when we went with Hannah. But a storm blew in and it started raining and lightning, so we left. On the 5th, after the carnival rides Jesse wanted to check out the animals. He got his picture taken with a couple of them. I will also post the videos of him with some of them. He was so funny. We then watched the Stunt Dog Show at 6pm. He was waiting to see that all day. He had so much fun. He yelled and yelled when they asked for volunteers, and they picked him and two other girls. Hope you enjoy the photos and the videos.

July 24, 2010 - Fiesta Days last day of celebrations

A fun day was ahead of us for sure. Parade, carnival, visit with GG, more family, yard care and things to do in Santaquin, more carnival to finish using tickets for rides and home. Here are some photos to show you our fabulous 24th!


Jesse and Cheyanne on a kiddie ride at the carnival. Now Jesse thought it'd be funny to rub his hand on the tire while the ride was going. He is lucky it goes slow, or it probably would have ripped his arm off. Yes, he is my "Dennis The Mennis!" If it moves or can be pushed, he'll touch it, he can't resist.


Camryn and Jesse on yet another kiddie ride. At least this one he couldn't get dirty on.


This ride he went on after the car ride with the tire rubbing and black hands as a result. After he had the tire rub his hand, which made it BLACK, he started patting his mouth making noises. So then he had a black ring around his mouth and nose. So this ride bring on water, Janine, my aunt, told him to stick his hand in the water and rub his face to get some of the black off. Ya, that didn't work. He used the same black hand to rub his face with water, which made the black go all over his face instead of just the mouth and nose. So this picture shows him in the process of wiping his own face off.


Okay, I got him off the water ride and helped him wipe his face off. Still dirty but no where near as bad as when he tried to do it. I got his whole face and head wet. It was super hot, so he didn't mind at all. He is definitely ALL boy!


And lastly, after we did the big parade, family lunch, carnival rides, to which was a little to hot and the seats to the rides burned the poor kids' legs, we took a break and headed to Santaquin to get the yard work done on the house. Jesse ran through the sprinklers while I mowed the lawn and took care of some things. Jesse watered the tomato plants, to which he found our first cherry tomato for the season. I can't believe how the 6 plants are doing for me only watering them once a week. Of course, Jesse begged to eat the first one and I let him. He was so excited. He does call it his garden. Jesse was so puckered out that when we got done with the yard work, he asked if he could sleep on our way to GG's house, a whopping 20 minute drive, but he was tired! We stayed and played with her for a couple hours then headed back to Spanish Fork to finish using the carnival tickets so we could go home. We were going to go to the rodeo with my friend Jessica, but Jesse decided he'd rather go home. Which I am glad, Jessica said a poor little calf got killed. Jesse wouldn't have liked to see that. He cries when I kill grass hoppers or spiders.
We had a fun busy weekend, but we both were so glad to be back to our Wyoming home.

First day of Fiesta Days!

My mom decided she wanted to come pick Jesse up from me in Evanston and take him back to Spanish Fork so that her and my dad could take the grandkids to the first day of the Fiesta Days Carnival for $1 a ride night, family night. He was so excited that she was going to drive the two hours to come get him. Now he gets to stay with her until Friday night when I head down for the celebrations. I don't want to miss the parade on Saturday. Here are some of the picture my mom sent me tonight of him having a great time at the carnival. You can tell he is having a blast with Camryn and Cheyanne.
