My Belly

I have finally taken some pictures of my growing tummy. Zeke is showing you where mommy's baby is. If you just ask him where the baby is he will point to his own tummy. :)

Elephants, elephants...

We went to the circus last night and Zeke really enjoyed himself. His favorite things were the tigers and the elephants.

This video is of the main elephant and if you listen you can here Zeke in the background.

Pictures!!!

Here is a bunch of random pictures of mostly Zeke. Hope you enjoy!

Most things can become a hat if you are creative enough.

Just trying to lick out every last bit.

This is how much I enjoyed it!

Such a big smile!

Climb and slide, climb and slide, climb and ...........

Zeke peeking out of a toy at the park.

Zeke was a big help in makeing daddy's fathers day gift. The frame ended up saying "Super Dads have Super Kids" then we put a picture of Zeke with superheros at 6flags

I tried to be a seamstress and make pioneer outfits for Zeke and I for the 24th. Since I didn't have any patterns I think it went well and it could also work for a pirate costume too.

Here is all of us dressed in our pioneer costumes. The stake 24th activity was fun but it was outside and it was over 100 so to say the least we didn't stay the whole time.

Zeke loves his pudding especially chocolate!

Pheobe became jelouse when Zeke and his puppy took over her crate, luckily I had washed and vacumed out the crate and bed earlier in the day.

Week 30... this is going so fast!

That's right I am in my 30th week of pregnancy, only 10 weeks (or less) till we have a new baby in the house. I have washed all of the newborn and 0-3 months clothes and made room for them in Zeke's dresser. Most of them I think will work with the weather since both boys are fall babies even though it doesn't get near as cold here it feels cold with the humidity. We bought a bassinet off craigs list and its set up in our bedroom. Mom is making bedding for the crib and it should be here in the next few weeks. The new double stroller is sitting in the garage and Zeke can't wait to use it. I have a few things to get out of storage like the car seat, bouncer, swing, ect but I think we are about ready for Corban to come. Well one think I really need to start working on is his blessing outfit, who knows how long it will take for me to finish that.
We went to the OB yesterday for the start of the every two week appointments and she said that if we wanted she is willing to induce me around a week early as to prevent a 9lb baby. This is comforting in two ways; first Corban will hopefully be smaller then Zeke was, and he will be here in time for his baby blessing. Everything at the appointment looked good. I was scheduled to take the glucose test to check for gestational diabeties but as I got 3/4 of the drink down it all came right back up. My doctor isn't worried about me having it so we are just going to skip the test. If you are wondering yes I am still having problems with nausea and morning sickness but only throw up around once a week.
Zeke has started to take gymnastics once a week on fridays (just like Jonah). He has had 2 classes and really enjoys them. It is actually one on one with the coach right now for around 1 hour. We are looking for a friend to join him but no luck yet. Anyway it is a mommy and me class but since Matt is still on break he comes too. On the ranch I work on they built a small gym for the owners boys and hired a coach to work it. No we don't get a discount but it is very reasonably priced.
Zeke's new interest seems to be trains, we saw Thomas the Tank Engine last saturday on TV and ever since then he goes around the house saying "choo choo" well and there is also dinosaur train on every morning. He has also discovered there is a train in a few of the books we read and they are now the ones he asks for at bed time. Maybe we can get him a train for his birthday.
I have taken pics and video to put on here but the laptop is in the shop and the desktop doesn't like to upload from the camera so once I get the laptop back I will load some pictures. Zeke is getting sooo big as well as my tummy.

Wonder Pheobe!!!

Long story short she alerted us this morning around 5AM of someone trying to get in our back door (that was left unlocked) by barking which she rarely ever does at night while in her crate. Matt went down saw someone out the back door and we called 911. The barking must have scared them off because by the time the police came there was no sign of anyone or any damage. We think it was a teenager up to no good. Yeah for Pheobe!!!

Welcome to the Boys Club

It is official I will be out numbered 3 to 1 come October. Congrats for those who guessed correctly. We had thought it would be a girl but are very excited for a boy. We are starting to decide on a name and I think we have one but when we decide for sure I will let you all know.

Thanks Morgan and Tanya for telling me about the Half Tee's I will be hosting a party for them around the 24th of this month. You can order from my party it is a little cheaper then online but the shipping would be the same. Also if you already have one I want to know what you think.

Zeke has been sick recently with a high temperature (the thermometer wouldn't work and by the time I got to the store to get another one the fever was gone) I am guessing around 101 or 102. He was miserable and developed what I believe to be a heat rash ( he gets those easy here) he also has the worse diarrhea ever. Well the fever left and a rash came and he acts normal now. Roseola has been going around here so that is what we believe it is. Now that the fever is gone he isn't contagious so we can go out again.

Zeke has discovered morning cartoons and loves them!!! We have started getting up at 7AM for the summer so he gets to see some he has never seen like Super Why. It is funny to watch him laugh at things he thinks are funny or if someone on the tv laughs he joins in too. When a show or commercial has music in it a lot of times he will jump up and start dancing to it. He is becoming quite the dancer, especially now that we watch so you think you can dance. He tends to pick up some of the moves he sees.

Matt has started teaching summer school and is really enjoying himself. He has a wider range of deaf children to work with and his hours are 8-12:30. He wishes that every school day was like that. He will be teaching for this week and next week Mon.-Thurs.

I am starting to work more hours at the ranch and being the "bread winner" for the summer as Matt puts it. They are being really probably overly careful with me cause of the pregnancy but its nice not to be bombarded with a ton of stuff. I officially have a tummy big enough that people are starting to ask what I am having. Thanks to a very generous birthday gift form my boss I was able to buy some new maternity clothes that better fit this hot weather as well as a double stroller for the boys. Thanks Grady!!!

Any Guesses?

We have an appointment for an ultra sound on Thurs the 10th, if the baby cooperates we shouild find out if it is a boy or a girl. I am interested to see what you all think.

PS. Please tell Grandma Selman that we will find out on Thursday and I will call her. I have told her this a few times but I don't think she remembers cause she wrote in my birthday card about how I already know and need to call and tell her. Thanks!
