First Week of School

So I did it, I made it through my first week of school at a new school in a new grade. I really like my new school and I really like my new grade. My class seems really smart, and very sweet! Hallelujah after my class last year. I am so thankful to finally get some smart kids who know how to behave. I have one boy who I can tell will be a challenge but that is way better then the 6 I had last year. I think I am really going to enjoy teaching 3rd at Ellison Park.
I am still dealing with morning sickness but I just have to make sure to keep snacks in my class for recesses. Tomorrow I will be 10 weeks, so hopefully when I hit my second trimester in 3 weeks I will feel better. That is what happened with Weston so we will see. I have been lucky so far to not gain weight in fact I have lost a few pounds even though I am eating small meals every 2-3 hours. I am so worried I will get huge with this baby since I am starting out at the same weight I ended my last pregnancy at. Oh the joys of weight!!!!!
Have an awesome LABOR DAY!!!!

Drum roll please.......

Many of you know about my obsession about getting pregnant this summer......... Jon and I wanted to get pregnant this summer so I could have all of next summer off for maternity leave...... Well!!!!!! I AM PREGNANT!!!!!! I am 8 weeks along. Our baby is due March 29, 2009. We are so super excited. I am hopeing for a girl but I will be happy with a boy just as long as it is healthy. Those of you that know me well know that took a lot for me. LOL!!!! I went to my first prenatal visit today all is looking good. Here is my ultrasound picture. Its hard to see her (I will be referring to her until we know) because she is only the size of a kidney bean. Her heartbeat was 174. It was amazing to here.

Last Day of Summer

Check out the hand in his back pocket. He loved petting the baby goats. They were so cute if only Jon would let us get one. LOL!

Today was my last day of summer as I am to go back to work on Monday. This made me think I didn't just want to hang around at home so I decided to go to the Davis county fair. Jon met up with my mom, and Weston and I for lunch. Then we let Weston go on a ride which he was not happy about at first. He was crying and stretching for my until the ride started. I don't think he was still thrilled but he endured it. Then we went to the petting zoo. That was fun. Weston loved petting the goats. They were really soft. All in all it was a great end to summer vacation.

Roy Aquatic Center

Mymom and I took Weston swimming at the Roy Aquatic Center today. And all I can say is that kid is a waterbug! He played from 1-5 stopping only to eat a whole piece of pizza and only did we leave when he came to me and snuggled in my arms to sleep. We left then and he was asleep before we left the parking lot. He was cautious of course at first and then it was on. He had so much fun. Climbing out of the pool then jumping back in. It was great. The water was like a beach and gradually got deeper up to 1 foot 6 inches. He was so fun to watch. If he got splashed in the face he didn't care one bit. He would walk around then drop like he feel and say "Uh oh, spagetti o!" So cute. I didn't have my camera for a first so here is him playing in the sun a few months back.

New projects

So I have wanted to get new furniture for our formal living room but we just don't have the money right now so I decided hey why not recover the pillows I already have. This is what my couches and the pillows used to look like.
And here is the finished product. My mom did all the sewing and I did the cutting out. I think they turned otu nicely. Jon doesn't think they match but i do. Oh well let me know what you think.



So I was looking at my friend Ali's mom's blog Joy and she had this super cute table she and her husband had made. So I decided to make one myself with Jon's cutting skills. I don't think it turned out to bad. One of the legs is crooked but I can live with it.
So there you have what I have been doing the last few weeks. Jon tells me I need to get back to work and quit buying stuff. I must agree I did go over board last month which put me on a strict budget of $100 for the whole month. So far I have $30 to go. Man am I in trouble. LOL!!!!

Kangaroo Zoo

Today we had so much fun. To start the day out we went to lunch at Robintoes with my mom, my Aunt Kim and Sean even Jon could come along. Then everyone except for Jon who had to go back to work. Poor Jon went to Kangaroo Zoo. Its in West Bountiful and its a big play area with huge inflatable toys. After first my ever cautious son Weston was a little hesitate. But after hanging out with Auntie Kim for awhile and getting used to everything he had a blast. He loved climbing up the ladders then sliding back down them. He was so brave going off the high slides. What trooper. We had so much fun. All of us played even Grandma! It was a wonderful day thanks Kim and Sean! Here is a video of Weston having a blast.
