19 Weeks 4 days 
Grandma Trace took the kids to pick out blankets, boy or girl?..... 
It's a......................... 
Now she is very excited to have a baby brother!
OK so obviously I needed to load some major pictures and get caught up a bit. So we're going to start with Riley's pine wood Derby race. Grandpa Al and Grandma Trace came to watch and Emma had to take a picture of them. She did pretty good. Uncle Curtis and Auntie Nay came to watch too but we didn't get a picture of them. oops, sorry. 
Here's Riley giving his car to the Track Master to be placed on the track for his 1st race. 
Riley's on the far left. Very intensely waiting for the race to begin. 
Here is the computer showing who won down to a millisecond. Riley took 1st! 
Waiting for the next race..... 
Riley took 1st in his den and 2nd overall! Yay bud. He also got an award for most sparkly car. 
Needless to say, he was pretty excited to qualify for districts. 
Our ward rented out Magic Mountain sledding hill for a family activity. Here goes Riley. 
Here comes Mommy and Emma. We had a blast. 
Emma was ready to go again, this time with Daddy. 
Then Riley wanted to go with Mommy. 
How cute is this picture? 
There they gooooooo. 
Riley and his buddy hooked onto each other and went down. 
OK so one day Emma came down stairs and said " Mommy I made a bed for the baby when it is born. This is what I found. So cute. And that is her most favorite horsey too. She is already sharing with the baby. I love it. 
We decided to dance in the kitchen while I was making dinner. This picture will definitely be up at Emma's Wedding! 
My Mom's Mom, Grandma Loa, came to visit so we had to grab some 4 generation pictures. 
Just the girls. 
My siblings! 
My family with Gramma. 
We decided to pull Emma out of her preschool that we were paying $80 a month for because we felt like she wasn't learning as much as she should. So a group of us started a Joy School and this was my turn to teach. So here's the gang. They are learning so much more now and guess what? It's free!!! 
Well that about catches me up for now. I will try and not be such a slacker from now on. But it should be easier now that I am feeling like a human being again. So I have missed blogging since I was in school and now that I am done I want to start up again. I don't know if anyone still blogs but I love to anyway. So life is good. I heard the baby's heartbeat today and it sounds good and healthy. Here are so pictures from our cruise with my family that would have been much more fun if it would have actually been hot in Mexico instead of cold and windy, but at least we had fun.
So today I started these weight loss drops called HCG Drops. A couple of girls at my school have been doing it with awesome results. My one friend started on Friday and already lost 10 lbs. In just 6 days. These drops are totally natural and help your body release the fat it is storing. And since I've got plenty stored up it is time to do something about it so stay tuned. Starting weight is 145 goal weight is 120. My 10 year highschool reunion is July 31st so I have to get smokin hot for that. Ü Luke has promised me when I get to my goal weight I can go on a huge shopping spree! So here goes nothing........
So I decided I needed to update my blog. I know, I know, it has been a very long time but I plead being extremely busy with school. But we are still here and we are still alive. School is going awesome. I hit my half way mark this week. YAY!! It is going by so fast I can hardly believe it. The kids are doing so good. Riley is amazing and scores 100% on all his spelling tests. Emma is as fun as ever. We have been to 3 different doctors, the last being a urologist, and finally discovered that she has bladder spasms. This explains the accidents she has been having and with a simple dose of medicine they have finally stopped. Poor thing, she was getting so frustrated because she knew she should not be having accidents but she didn't know how to stop. So thankfully this is helping. As long as it continues to work she will not have to go in for exploratory surgery, so keep your fingers crossed. Luke is doing great and fishing every chance he gets. I have so many pictures to get caught up, but we'll start with our fishing trip to Stanley. It was so much fun. The weather was awesome and it was our first time for the year to break out the camper. They caught a ton of fish. Fish fry any one?
Luke and his buddy Carl...... the fishermen!
Here is my cute honey, so happy to be fishing.
The kids were so good. They just played on the rocks all day
oh yea gotta bite......
reel it in...... 
It's a fighter.
Bringing it in...
The catch. It's a keeper!
I was enjoying the beautiful weather, laying by the river and
Baiting the hook, for another go.
Waiting for the bite.
Netting another one.
oh yea babe that's a big fish!
Carl's "catch" of the day.
Riley made his own pole and had so much fun.
Emma wanted to fish too, so we made her a pole out of a stick.
Here is one of Carl's big ones.
This was Luke's "catch" of the day! Ü
A tradition started by my Grandpa, the kids have to kiss the fish.
eeeeeew.
