Nat turns 27!

My birthday was on Thursday, the 17th. Sam invited some friends over for dinner, and cooked a fantastic meal. He made beef tenderloin, asparagus, and potatoes. It was SO good! Just like a 5 star restaurant! :) We went out on Friday to dinner and a movie, and a little shopping. It was a great birthday.
Don't let the plainness fool you, this is the BEST cake EVER!!! Its an ice cream cake from Maggie's Moos made out of better batter ice cream - my favorite! Its a tradition that Sam buys me a cake every year for my brithday, and this is the only thing I ever want again!

Singing Time

The kids were singing Primary songs with Sam tonight for FHE when I got home from a meeting at work. Shaye had stopped, but I was able to catch a few minutes of Jaxson on video. He loves to sing. He remembers the words to all the songs he learns at school and at church. He will just be playing in his room or somewhere singing songs - some I haven't even heard and I have to ask the teacher how they go so I can sing with him!

Don't forget to pause the blog music at the bottom.

Pregnancy Thoughts

These pictures are from this week - 32 weeks pregnant. With 8 weeks left, I am counting down the weeks! This pregnancy has had its ups and downs. I was more sick in the first 16 weeks this time than I have been with the other two, which I thought would be better - not worse. But once that was over, I was doing okay! I have continued to teach my aerobic classes until just this week. It finally started to be too much. I was achey, and my joints were taking a beating. Its starting to be hard to go to sleep now. I always have that restless leg syndrome when I get pregnant, so I end up doing squats and stretches before bed to try and help it out. The last couple of weeks I have been having random contractions, which never happened to me before, but I suppose is normal. The doctor always has good things to say, and predicts I will have a smooth delivery as in the past. I try to look at pregnancy as a blessing, that we are able to have kids, and that I am always healthy. But with that said, lets get this done with..... :)

Just Jack

As stated in the post below, Jaxson would never let me do anything with his hair, so earlier this week I got tired of it being a mess and buzzed it off! Now even if he won't let me put some gel in it, it doesn't look so bad. I love these pictures (even if he spilled his drink on his shirt!) He is my little cutie. Right now he loves to take pictures and was happy to pose for me before school this morning. Times like these make it easier to bare when he's being a stinker!
