I suck at blogging. I thought I'd be really good at it cause I love to write. But I go to school full time (my last final is Thursday!!!) and I have two very active little boys and I just don't find time. It's not that I can't make time, I just forget amid everything else.
In case you didn't know, I'm pregnant. I'm 9 weeks today, due July 19th. I am hoping for a girl. Not that I wouldn't be as happy with a boy, I just have two of those already. As it stands:
2 boys
0 girls
1 unknown
Kyle doesn't much care one way or the other.
I've thought I would wear pink everyday till my 20 week ultrasound to try to give the baby subliminal messages to be a girl. But since the sex is decided at conception, and there is a 50/50 chance it is a boy, I decided against it. If it is a boy, I don't want to confuse him. =D
I have been feeling very sick. I don't throw up, I just feel queasy every time I move. It is nasty. I just want to lay in bed forever. Right here I have to say, I'm so grateful for Kyle! I've gotten much worse at doing dishes/laundry/any kind of house cleaning. He keeps surprising me with a clean kitchen. It's fantastic.
So, I have a final tomorrow that I have to go to. It's kind of silly. I took a children's literature course this semester. The final is simply, bring your favorite children's book and a food that relates. Easy at least! I am taking the Eleventh Hour by Graeme Base and I think birthday cake! Yay me! I hope I get an A on the final! =D
Let's see, Anything else to tell the maybe 2 people who check my blog? Umm... Probably nothing you folks don't already know! Here's hoping I get better at blogging so that this page gets more itneresting.

HALLOWEEN!
These pictures are from the ward party the night before Halloween. Adam, Caleb and Jaden are army camo men.
Caleb is so stinking cute.
The whole platoon.
a Silly schoolgirl.
Angry Eva
I like this picture.
They are rummaging through their candy thinking they will get to eat it all.
Birthdays
Since my boys' birthdays are really close together, this blog will be both of their birthdays. Here is Caleb enjoying some spongebob.
Caleb's spongebob cake. Thanks Whitt.
Whitney and JJ at Adam's birthday party.
Here they are at Grandma and Grandpa Wilson's. They love their new train tracks.
Having a joint party in Utah
hmmm. It has been so long since I posted that I can't for the life of me remember how to turn this picture the right way!
Adam's cheesy smile
Adam's FOOTBALL CAKE!!!! Anyone who has been around Adam recently knows he has been waiting for this cake for about a month. He told everyone who would listen that he was gonna have a football cake. Thanks to Whitney, who is awesome.
I'm alive!
Despite what you may think, I have no fallen off the planet. I'm still here, feeling completely uninspired. Well, at least I can share some pictures right? Right!

Gratitude
Adam's has really gotten into praying recently. He wants to say prayers before dinner and before bed, sometimes twice. He has gotten to the point where he doesn't need help anymore. His prayers go something like this:
"Heavenly Father, thank you for this day. Thank you for our blessings. Thank you for the Sun. Thank you for the dark. Thank you for my bed. Thank you for choo-choo trains. Thank you for books. Thank you for Caleb. Thank you for whales. Name of Jesus Christ, Amen."
I think it's pretty cool that my almost three year old son dedicates all of his prayer to gratitude. Imagine all the things he could be asking for instead! It got me thinking about the things I am grateful for. Here are just a few.
1. I am grateful for Kyle. He's literally my other half; he has the talents and virtues that I lack and visa versa.
2. I am grateful for my boys. They are the just the most beautiful, loving, sweet little guys. They give the best hugs and kisses and I can't get enough of them.
3. I, too, am grateful for choo-choo trains.
4. I am grateful for second chances. If there was an award for people who screws up the most, I'd win hands down, every year. I have been blessed with more second chances than I care to count, and I am grateful for every one of them.
5. I am grateful for Kyle's new job! I feel so relieved just knowing we will have a regular income again soon. phew!
6. I am grateful for my parents and my in-laws. They give our family support and so much help. I am grateful for family that babysits the boys while I am at school and Kyle is working.
7. I am grateful for whales.
8. I am grateful for friends. I have a new friend that makes me laugh every single day and I love it!
9. I am grateful for my ward. I haven't spent much energy in the last two years getting to know my ward, but I am really trying to change that. I never knew the activities were actually a lot of fun and that people are REALLY nice. I have been missing out big time.
10. I am grateful for my nieces and nephews. I love those boogers. I'm grateful for the opportunity I had to really bond with Jaden this last year while his mom was at school. He really knows and loves me now and that is the best feeling in the world.
Well, that's the short list. I know there are a lot more things. If I forgot you, I'm grateful for you!

First Day of School
So, school is finally here. Yesterday was the first day and boy was it gross. I don't know if I was anxious or what, but I woke up at 3 the night before and never did regain unconsciousness. I watched the time tick and waited for when I had to get up.
Longest Night Ever.
I finally made peace with the fact that I was done sleeping and pulled myself out of bed at 5. yucgh!
Besides that it was a pretty good day. I start at 7:30 and have 5 classes. I get out at 3:20 and then have to pick the boys up from my parents' house. Long day. I didn't get home until 4:30. The first day of school is never interesting either. We just go over the syllabus and play games. Ice breaker games are stupid. I'm an adult and I think I can decide for myself if I want to make friends in the class. (For those of you wondering, the answer is no. I would rather just get my work done and go home.)
Wow, I just read this back. What a negative post. I have been so excited for school and this is how I show it? I'm just exhausted. I will come back when I have something happier to write.

FHE
So, we're having family home evening on prayer last night. They boys are pretty good about listening and the lesson is only about 5 minutes. Anyway, Kyle is teaching and he asks Adam, "Do you know why we pray?" and Adam says "To go to bed".
haha. That was pretty funny. We usually remember to pray at meals too, but I guess he just hasn't caught on. Then Kyle asked him "And who do we pray to?" Adam replied, without a second's hesitation, "Caleb". =) I hope you enjoyed this as much as I did!

Random....
This is a poem about life sucking. Don't think I mean it seriously, please. Well, sure life does suck sometimes... but we all float on!
Sometimes when it starts to rain it really freaking pours.
The rains come down, the floods come up and beat down at your doors.
You start to feel that life just sucks and can't get any worse.
Then a mighty hurricane shows this is just the first.
I like to think of good old Job on his spacious heap;
I wonder if he'd scooch a bit so I could have a seat.

Swings
On Monday the boys and I met Kyle for lunch. We grabbed Taco Bell and went to the park. Always a hit, we got some cute pictures of the boys enjoying the swings.

Tagged
I'm not sure exactly how this works. Ashley tagged me doing some 5 things I hate about today... I think that means I just write what I hate right? Well, that's what I'm assuming.
1. I hate the zit under my nose
2. I hate that I lost nearly 30 pounds and half came out of my boobs. It's very sad.
3. I hate that my boys poop so freaking much! It's just not normal!
4. I hate that I had to get up early cause we have church at 9 now.
5. I hate that just when you want time to fly it moves like molasses. Then when you're ready to savor moments they fly by in a whirl of colors!
And that's it. I don't know enough people who blog to tag them! So. um. yeah. =)

Grades
Okay... so totally self-centered braggadocious blog. I figured if there is any appropriate place to be proud of myself it would be here. After all, anyone who reads my blog already knows that I'm a stuck up snot. (Just ask my in-laws. hehe)
I just wanted to say that I got a 3.7 GPA for my last semester. It brings my total GPA to 2.8. I know you are probably thinking I am a little overly proud for such meager grades. To put it in perspective know this: BYU kicked me out after 3 semesters under 2.0. Yes, you read right. 3 semesters under 2.0. It's a sad place to be coming from, but the only way from here is up! It's my best semester ever. WOOHOOO for my 2 As and 1 B!
