6 months!

Holy cow, I can't believe it has actually been about 6 months since I have blogged! BUT...it HAS been a very busy & eventful last 6 months!!!
Where do I start? Well, in August of this year we found out that I am pregnant! We are expecting baby #4! We were actually quite surprised, but it's def a good surprise! I am due April 21st, 2011. (wow that seems weird to tyoe out 2011 already?!) So, that puts me at 16 weeks along this Friday! It feels like I have been pregnant forever, but prob just because I have been sooo sick! I guess I am just one of those lucky girls that gets the worst of the morning sickness. Although mine is more like 24/7 sickness! lol! There have been a couple complications, but the baby remains healthy & well! We get to find out the gender next month, Dec. 8th!!! We are super excited! Obviously we are hoping for a girl after 3 boys in a row, but if it is another boy, it'll be another geat addition to the cute 3 little Musketeers! Boys are wonderful!
Then, in the month of Auguest as well, we MOVED! Long story short, we were basically forced out of our wonderful house by campus (of which we had only lived in for 4 months!) because the Landlords didnt know that it was not "approved" for family housing, because of city zoning & whatnot. It was a very unexpected move, & hectic, but we finally found an INCREDIBLE home in Smithfield, which is only about 8min north of Logan. It was def a blessing from the Lord the way THIS house worked out. I will post pictures soon, but it's a 6 bedroom 3 bath home,3 car garage, built in 2002, 3,000 sq foot home, on the Golf Course! It is just way too huge& beautiful to be true, BUT we live here & we love it! This is also the friendliest neighborhood & ward we have EVER lived in! I honestly can't say enough about the wonderful people here! While i have been so sick, perfect strangers from the ward have brought over several meals, offered so much help, & have just been so kind! It is amazing! We are very blessed!
Austen is still a full time student at USU & is super dad by doing that & working for 2 companies full time! I don't know how he manages it all, especially while I have been so sick. With the mama down like this, his load has been doubled (if not more!) & I am soo grateful for such a loving & patient man! Being raised in the huge family of his sure pays off here at home! (thanks again to his parents Farren & Jolene!) I will always be grateful to them for the incredible son they raised :)
Brendan is getting so big! He will be 5 this month!!! AHH! How can I have a 5 year old already?! But he is so excited! He is mama's big boy helper & has been such a little hero while I have been down & sick when his daddy is gone! He is definatley the oldest :)
Liamm turned 3 in July. He is getting SO tall! I think he might be our tallest boy! I can't seem to keep in in the same jeans & shoes more than a few months! He almost looks funny in the Nursery at church because he towers over all his friends!! He has really come out of his "shy shell" these past few months! He talks like crazy & about every thing! He has also become quite a mama's boy, always making sure he gave mommy a hug & kiss b4 bed!
Eli....well, where do i start with that little character!!! He turned 1 in July as well! He is SUCH a cute little doll, but also a fiesty little guy at times as well! He REALLY knows what he wants & when! He has really become a bog boy these past few months. He loves to tag around his big brothers & act like them! It's so cute! He walks runs all over & is starting to talk now too! Waaay to cute, that kid is!
As for me, well, preganant & sick about says it all right now! lol! But I think I am nearing the "being done with morning sickness" part, so I will start getting more energy in this 2nd trimester & be "Mommy" again! Austen has said several times he cant wait til I'm well again, cuz he can't take much more of my job! :) Its really good for us to see what we each do & appreciate each other more! It's funny. I sure love my men, all 4 of them!
