So much fun!





Here are just some random pictures that I thought were cute. We went up to Vegas for 3 days this past week and I forgot my camera. I took Tayton to the dinosaur museum. He was a little scared of the animated dinosaurs. They had little buttons that you could push that made them move. He was terrified of the T-rex. He loved digging for the dinosaur bones in the sand. Anyway why we were there he told me he had to go potty. We were washing his hands and then he threw up everywhere. It was all over his shirt and pants and the entire bathroom. I cleaned up as much as I could and then we left. After he threw up he said he was fine, and he was acting normal, so we stayed up in Vegas. He was doing really good until this morning. He was all dressed and ready to go to church when he threw up his breakfast. The poor kid couldn't keep anything down and all he did was sleep.

Now Tayton loves to share so he shared his sickness with me. Last night I was up all night and I couldn't even keep water down. I tried 1/2 of a toast this morning, and that came up too. Luckily I was able to keep some water down in the afternoon and I just ate dinner and I am feeling pretty good. I was starting to get shaky and dizzy and I was afraid I would have to go to the hospital to re-hydrate me but luckily I kept some water down. I love being sick, especially when your kid is sick too. Hopefully we won't share this flu bug with Levi. I don't know what I would do if all three of us were throwing up all day.

I hope everyone else is having a lot funner times than we are.

Potty Training!

I started potty training Tayton in December, and he has done a really good job. Every time I think he is totally potty trained he has an accident. But he has gone two weeks in a row without having one accident, even at night. My goal was to get him potty trained before he turned 3, his birthday is coming up in a month so I am extremely happy. (Watch he will totally pee his pants all day tomorrow just because I am posting this.)

Tayton is obsessed with trains, luckily one of the casinos down here has free train rides. So whenever Tayton is good a couple of days in a row, I take him on the train. He loves it. I have been on this train so many times and I am so bored with it but every time we go Tayton freaks out. He has so much fun, he jumps up and down whenever he sees the train coming and he has a smile on his face or he is laughing the entire time why he is riding the train. So here are just a few pictures of Tayton riding the train.

Not too much else has been going on lately. I went to the doctor today and my baby is doing good. I still have to keep getting my blood work done every month to check my thyroid levels. I hate it but what can you do. Most of the time my levels are low but still ok, but during this pregnancy they have dropped really low. The endocrinologist had me a little worried, he said if my levels get too low I can have a "really slow baby." So I hope she turns out ok. I am hoping I won't compare her to Tayton too much, he started walking at 8 months old, so even if she is normal I still might think she is slow compared to her big brother.

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone! The Easter Bunny came a little early to our family this year because dad has to work on Easter. Yesterday we had a fun Easter egg hunt at the park. Tayton loved it.



Here is our family with the Easter Bunny. Don't laugh at my enormous belly, and my hair, the wind was blowing pretty good. This will be the last picture I will put on my blog of me being pregnant. Only 2 1/2 months left, I hope I can make it that long. Did anyone get any cramps in their legs and hip when they were pregnant? I am getting them all the time now and they hurt. If anyone has any good suggestions on getting rid of them please let me know.



Here is Tayton finding all the eggs. As you can tell he had to look really hard to find the eggs.




Tayton and the Easter Bunny, sorry, this isn't the best picture.



This is before the egg hunt started. He was having such a hard time waiting. He had such a fun time, he loved it!



Tayton came running to me and said he had a surprise for me in my room. I was a little nervous because sometimes he is a bit naughty but I went in my room and this was my surprise. He is such a fun little boy. He is always doing little things like this that make me laugh so hard. He was so proud of himself.

Laughlin Townfest!

This past weekend they had the Laughlin Townfest. It was tons of fun. They had a parade and a carnival.


Here is Tayton at the parade, he loved saying hi to everybody, but his favorite was all the candy people were giving out.



Tayton loves to look at police officers, he always says hi bad boys. We are trying to teach him they are police not bad boys.



I love fire trucks!



Here is Tayton at the carnival. He loves rides. He wanted to ride the zipper, and all those other scary rides, luckily he was too little. He is not afraid of anything.



Here is Tayton with McGruff, or whatever his name is. Whoever he was, Tayton sure loved him.

We love spring!







Sorry it has been a while since I posted but we have been having too much fun. The weather has been so nice here. Right now it is in the 80's. We have been having so much fun outside. Here are just a few pictures of what we have been doing. We finally got to go fishing. Levi was so excited. We got Tayton a new fishing pole and he loves it. He had such a fun time. The other pictures are just us at the park and Tayton throwing rocks in the Colorado river. We have to enjoy this weather because in a couple of months we will have to stay inside because it will get too hot.

Not too much has been going on. I am just getting really excited for this baby girl. I finally got Levi to set up our crib. It looks so cute but I am not sure if Levi likes all this pink. It is so much fun though. Oh and I went back to the doctor and it is a girl for sure.
