IT'S A........BOY!!!

So we found out today that we are having a boy! I was actually quite shocked just because everyone kept saying it was a girl. I am super excited, but unless we win the lottery, this little boy might be dressed in pink alot! HA HA. Here is his cute little face!

Kortnee is going to be a........

So I am almost 12 weeks along. Due July 26th. Kortnee will be 3 yrs old on July 21st, so hopefully it won't be that same day! We are super excited and were pretty surprised! We had to do so many fertility treatments with Kortnee, that we never thought we would be able to afford another one! But this little miracle happened on its own! You never know what's in store for you! I am very sick again, like I was with Kortnee, but am happy that I am not working right now so that I can rest when I need to and not get dressed if I don't want! :)

Kortnee's Antics

This is a conversation between Zachary (my almost 13 yr old) and Kortnee (my 26 month old) over heard from my mom and I from the backseat of the car.

Kortnee: Give me my ball

Zachary: No, it's my ball (he loves to tease her)

Kortnee: I've got a pirate.

Zachary: Ok, I will trade you, the ball for the pirate.

Kortnee: The ball first!

Then the other day she fell and bonked her mouth while getting in the carseat and started bawling, "I hurt my braces!"

A few weeks ago we were going to the drive-in to see Toy Story 3. Kortnee is kind of famous for running away whenever she gets the chance. So on the way there, Jon was telling her that she absolutely can not run away and that she better not even think about running away. So we were driving for a few minutes and all of the sudden Kortnee says, "daddy, I'm thinking about it!"

I go with my mom to Shopko whenever they have senior day (the first Wednesday of the month) just in case I want to buy something and get her 15% off for being old. Well when we go, they have crackers and cookies and juice set up in the front of the store for the seniors. So I went with my mom to Shopko, on a non-senior day and as soon as we pulled into the parking lot, Kortnee says, "yea! Crackers to shop!"

Trying to get Kortnee to come out of the car to go inside Smith's. I told her 3 times to get out of the car....finally I said it pretty roughly:
Me:Kortnee, Come on!!
Kortnee: Ooookkkkkaaaaayyyyy..... stop freaking out!


She also plays slug bug in the car with us.....don't know if she actually knows what one is or not....but randomly she will say, "slug bug, I win!"




Kortnee is absolutely hilarious! She talks so much for a 2 year old it is crazy! I love her personality and her antics. She makes me laugh so much! I will have to try to think of some more things that she says, so that she may entertain you, as well as our family!!!

Two years old!

I am a little late posting since Kortnee's birthday was July21st...but here are some pictures from her birthday. We had a family party for her the Sunday before her birthday and then on her actual birthday we took her to Jungle Jim's. Zachary was such a good big brother to go on all the rides with her so she didn't have to go alone. She is in the 97% for height and 75% for weight. She talks so much and is so smart. She knows her colors and counts to 10....she also tries to sing her ABC's...but we are still working on that one. She jumps with both feet off the ground (which she has been doing for a couple of months) and is so coordinated. She never walks, she just runs, jumps, gallops, etc. The Dr. said at her check up that she is like a 3 year old in her coordination and speech. We are so lucky to have her in our family. She brightens all of our lives.

The many faces of Kortnee

This is Kortnee and Zachary doing the scared face.
This is the kissy face
This is the just plain cute face
This is the Cheesy face
Notice that in all of these faces....she has a dirty face....however in my defense as a mother, we were at chili's eating dinner. Usually I try to get keep it relatively clean.

It's been too long!!!!

It has been WAY too long since I have posted....I guess I just figure no one really looks at this but me....But I do have some wonderfully cute pictures to share....so here it goes.
We went to Lagoon this past week and had a blast. Janene and her kids have season passes so we went with them. Sylas was getting his tonsils taken out the day after this so we kept him there a little longer with us. Janene's kids are like family to me! Here are some pictures. Oh and did I mention that it hailed on us and rained and was 75 degrees and hot in the same day! That is Utah for you!

Bryce liked that Kortnee had a "leash" so he could kart her around.

Here was Kortnee's first ride! Bryce rode most of the rides with her...but made sure that the older boys knew it was just cause he was "helping Kortnee" not because he was enjoying himself!


Here are the boys on rattlesnake rapids before the waterfall.....


Here they are after the waterfall!


This is what Kortnee calls her "cheezy" face.

Here is Kortnee on the skyride doing her "cheezy" face!
Here are all of us on the Tilt a Whirl. After Janene and Bryce left.
Two of the three stooges!
Can't forget to mention that Grandma came along for the ride and watched Kortnee most of the day only going on two rides herself. THANKS GRANDMA!

Valentines Pics!

My friend Ashley had this great idea of taking kids pictures in "yester-years" style. Kortnee was being a huge pill by the time it was her turn, but I still think they are very adorable. Thanks Ashley!!
