The last post for April

On Tuesday I went to my Dr. appointment. It was great, it took all of 15 min total. She told me that the baby looks healthy and then she asked if I wanted to know what we were having b/c she could tell. The image was really blurry for me b/c of the way the baby was sitting so I don't know how she knew. But I told her no, we will wait to find out. Clint and I have gone back and forth on this and that's what we've decided. I'm just happy the baby looks healthy and everything is measuring right, except for it's legs, they're really long. Must be taking after the Kemp side.

I am feeling great these days, a little emotional, but I think that's normal. I was telling my Dad this morning that sometimes I just don't know what to do with myself when I'm like that. I don't do drama well or over emotional so when it's ME who's acting that way I feel really dumb.

Clint is DONE for the semester YEAH! We got the final grades back and he didn't do as well as he wanted (4.0) but he still did great (3.5). Now we will enjoy him while he is home for a month or so. Kaily has 1 month to go and then she is done also.

With Kaily it was Orange Juice, with Conner it was pasta, meat and root beer (I hate root beer), with this one, lately it's been CHOCOLATE. I can't seem to get enough of it. I don't want the milk chocolate or the candy bars, I want dark, semi-sweet chocolate with or without peanut butter. MMMMM....that is what this body wants lately. Maybe it's the hormones, but really I don't normally like chocolate that much, every now and then is great. Now though, I could eat it everyday. I think it's a good thing there isn't much of it in my house.

Movie Night

We just saw this movie and we all liked it. Both Kaily and Conner were glued to the screen. We saw it for family night tonight. The story was great and the animation was typical of Dreamworks, so it wasn't a Disney, but it was still VERY good. We didn't see it in 3D though, but I hear it's worth seeing in 3D. Kaily and Clint can't see 3D very well, so we don't spend the extra $ very often and really never when we take Kaily. If you haven't seen the movie yet, you should.

A great post by someone else

I've been thinking a lot about being a mother this weekend and I was directed to this site by a friend, While I was there I happened across another post of hers that I think should be read by all my friends and family. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. It gave me some good things to ponder and I too am grateful for my stretch marks.

A great field trip

On Tuesday, which was the last nice warm day of the week, we went to a farm called American Heritage Farms with one of Kaily's preschool classes. We had a great time and the kids got to learn about the animals as well as hold a few baby ones. Conner was of course bored within the first 10 min. He wanted to go find some rocks and just really didn't want to be sitting around. He's my get up and go kid. Kaily LOVED every minute of it. Conner did like holding the baby chicken and he took his turn to pet all the animals, except for the cows, he just yelled at them. After we saw all the animals we had a picnic lunch. I think we will go back here. It's on the way to Bear Lake for us and I think the kids would like to go back and do more things. The Farm opens offically in June.

Most of everyone who went.

Kaily and Conner liked the baby bunnies.

One of those days

There are some days that no matter how bad the kids seem to be that you find yourself looking at them in the quiet moments before they start screaming and whining again that your heart fills with love, so much that there aren't words enough to explain it. Today is one of those days for me. In the midst of all the yelling and fighting I find myself more in love with my little ones.
