Weak Attempt at Updating

(Rylon, Jax, Broden, and Eyrlin)

I have always loved spending time at home with my children. I am the happiest when I am home with them and I love the funny things they say and do.

Jax (7) is growing up so fast he recently turned 7 and he keeps talking about the day he turns 8. We are reading The Book of Mormon as a family and he decided he wanted to read it on his own. I find that he is more of an example to me then I will ever be to him. This year he was in a play and he started piano lessons. Next year he really wants to play soccer and maybe learn the trumpet. We will see!

Rylon (5) is something funny. His silliness and humor is very much like his dad. I really hoped to avoid my kids learning sarcasm but guess what, Rylon and John find themselves in perfect harmony with their punch lines. Rylon also has the most sensitive side to him that melts his moms heart. The whole time I was sick I received daily notes from my Rylon. Rylon had a lot of questions about why I was throwing up and in bed all the time, he was just so concerned.

Eyrlin (3) around here is known as Sweet Sweet Sweetrlin. Eyrlin is very honest with what she thinks and feels. "Mom, that lady has weird hair." or "Rylon, you need to brush your teeth." or "Mom, why aren't you wearing your makeup?" Eyrlin loves to talk and wants a REAL cell phone for Christmas, I told her no. She has since moved on to a REAL ring with jewels. She will get a ring but not anything REAL, I don't think she'll notice.

Broden (1) is our most active child ever. Broden at home is super mellow but at church or the store he is out of control. Broden's favorite things to play with are balls, cars, and his dad. John wins as the favorite parent with Broden, I am ok with that. Broden is also the cutest thing.

Baby Tober (20 weeks in the oven) we find out on the 23rd what we are having. We all want a girl for Eyrlin but I NEVER guess it right so we are most likely having a boy. To Be Continued..

I can't imagine life without such a wonderful husband who supports and cares for me. John has had a rough couple months without me playing mom. He just kept saying, "I don't know how you do this." I just laughed and then threw up. I know it has added so much to our relationship. He saw me at my worst and he still loved me, funny how that worked.

I am over my morning sickness. Some things still make me sick but nothing worth throwing up over. All in all, we are doing pretty well.

I love the tobers! I am glad you are feeling better and I think I will take a little tober boy, they are cute. I would take a tober girl too but I already have 3 howe girls. maybe someday I'll get a howe boy, then I don't have to steal one of yours. :)

Way cute picture! I love how you laugh and then throw up and he still thinks your hot.=) Aren't husbands great? Especially when they are scared of a hormonal pregnant woman??=) Spencer is just like Broden!! He is a total beast at the store but at home he is so happy to just play with cars and read books and stuff. Anyway, that's my shpeel.

Such a fun family surprise on the 23rd. I'll hope for a girl so there can be sisters but 4 boys would be so much fun and just think about how great it could be in the store with another little wild man:) Good to have you back in the land of the living. Yay, for less throwing up!

Holy Crap I can't believe you are prego again! What the....You are stellar! I love how it ain't no thang to you....you're wonderwoman :) Three kids is kicking my trash. My kids dominate 4 days out of the week. I get some Betty Crocker moments here and there, but it's pretty crazy around my house. I wouldn't have it any other way, though. Glad I finally checked out my peeps blogs to see your cute kiddos and congrats on the new one! I can't wait to find out.
