Here we go again!

Long story short version: I'm pregnant with #3!!!
Long version:
In the middle of September I started having gallbladder pain. It came on quickly and stronger than ever. The main problem is I dont have a gallbladder, I had it removed after Ruby was born because it causes too many problems when I am pregnant. So I was totally stressed out that I had a tumor and I was going to die, this story also has a long version but all I can say is I know I am a hypochondriac. I went to my doctor and had to get blood work to check my liver, the tests came back fine but I was still having pain so my doctor wanted to see me again. I knew the next step was an x-ray, MRI, or something like that so I decided to take a pregnancy test before I went in just in case so I didn't accidentally fry a baby. Well surprise surprise it was positive! I called Sam to explain but since I was kind of in shock and freaking out he didn't understand what I was saying and he said "Do you want me to go to the store and get a pregnancy test?" I responded by saying "No I already took one, I am pregnant!" We both were a little shocked because I had gotten my IUD out only 2 months earlier and we had been told it would take 6 month to a year.

Pretty Ruby

I found some cool actions for PhotoShop Elements and I wanted to try them out so I got Ruby all dressed up for photos this morning. She was a good model until her brother started riding the wiggle rider and she started to cry.
I think the pictures turned out pretty cool and now I have so many more options that I dont even know what to do.

First Day of Preschool

Today was first day of real preschool.

We have done joy school for two years now but I finally get to send him off to school. All of my friends have been figuring out what preschool their kids were going to since the beginning of summer. Since I like to procrastinate and I dont make decisions very well as of the middle of August I didn't have a preschool to send him to and most preschools were full. I finally got him on a waiting list and was hopeful he would get in to SUU's preschool.

Then out of nowhere a leader I work with in YW called and said there was a spot open in her class at Three Peaks, which usually has such a huge waiting list for 4 year olds, that I hadn't even tried. So Porter's going to preschool!!!!

When he got home I asked him what he did and he told me his favorite part of the day was outside time and then snack. I asked him if he made new friends and he said "yeah there was this boy with an orange shirt, and a boy with a green shirt and a boy with a monster truck shirt."

Footloose

I was invited for a girls night with my Mother-in-law, sister-in-law (Megan), and two cousins at Tuachan to see High School Musical 2. I realized later that my sister, Trisha, was coming to my house that night and I would be a total jerk if I didn't get her a ticket. I told my Mother-in-law that I was going to get an extra ticket and hope that she could sit next to us but she said he had had a migraine the night before and really didn't want to go and let my sister have her ticket.
Trisha left a few minutes late driving down from BYU and then hit construction and was way late getting to my house and we in turn were not going to make it to Tuachan on time so we were so excited when Megan called and asked if we cared if they switched the tickets and we went to Footloose instead which started an hour later and worked out way better for me!!!
We grabbed a Vanilla Bean Frapaccino with double caramel and made it on time to the show. The show was good, some dull parts mostly the Reverend, and some awesome musical numbers like "Hear It For The Boys", and "I Need A Hero".

Afterwards we were delirious because it was near midnight so we waited in line to get pictures with the cast eventhough we only had a cellphone camera because when Trisha turned on her real camera she realized she had forgotten her SD card.
The guy who plays Ren is Thayne Jacobson from season 4 of SYTYCD (So You Think You Can Dance). I am loving season 5 right now but totally missed 4 so I will have to go back and watch it.
This girl plays "Rusty" and sings "Let's Hear It For The Boys" our favorite number of the night and she recently graduated from BYU.

Fireworks

We went home after the parade and hung out until Sam's family came to visit. We went out for a nice family dinner at Pizza Factory and then went to the airport to watch the fireworks.
Now sometimes when it gets dark Ruby asks if there will be fireworks.
Ruby was really scared just thinking of what fireworks would be like so she brought her teddy bear.

We played with sparklers before the fireworks because the firework show didn't start until after 10pm.

The 4th of July

This year the 4th started off early. At 6am Sam took our chairs along with some of our friends chairs and lined them up on Main Street so we could have a good view of the parade while sitting in the shade!!! We had a lot of fun at the parade with all of our friends. We ended up with quite the crowd.


The only gripe I have about the parade is that someone had the audacity to put blankets in front of our chairs sometime between 6am and 9am when we got to the parade. Luckily we are rude and we just sat in our seats with our feet on their blankets sorry suckers but usually people have to put their feet somewhere.

Hunter was trying to get my camera with his flag.

Broken Monitor

I havent updated because our computer monitor is broken and I had to mail it in to get it fixed. All of my photo editing software is on our computer so I can't use my laptop to do anything but type. My last post was a month ago and boy have we been busy. As soon as we get the monitor back I will post more and have pictures.

This week will be another crazy busy week with preschool at my house and Ruby's 2nd birthday, not to mention both of Sam's parents birthdays and one of his sisters birthdays so we will be having a big birthday party in Mesquite this weekend. I haven't been home for more than 3 days in a row for the last three weeks and we are going out of town again this weekend thank goodness I still have our bags packed and I just keep changing the clothes out.
