I don't know how it happened so fast, but I can't keep up with Tommie anymore. He still doesn't crawl normal....now it's more like a scoot on his bum while sitting up straight, but he is FAST. He climbs up on anything and everything and walks all across the furniture, and walls, and tables, and chairs, and toilets, and drawers.... he empties everything in sight SO fast and loves it. He is adorable now, and so happy to be more independent, but boy do I feel like I chase after him all day. Everyone comments on how tan he is and his huge smile. He finally just cut his first 2 bottom teeth and I was amazed that it didn't affect his sleeping through the night. He'd cry in his sleep, but never wake up fully.
Jackson has been so obedient lately, and has tried so hard to jsut be nice. For mother's day, they interviewed him in primary, and he told the primary teachers all about how I want him to say "I'll be happy too" when I ask him to clean his room, eat veggies, etc. His answer to every question about things I like, was all about him being obedient. Ha! They must think I'm obsessed, but lately, it's worked and he ahs been so sweet. I can get him to eat dinner now just by saying it'll make me happy, and he does. I hope he always wants to try so hard to make his mom happy! He started swimming on his own 2 weeks ago. He can't come up and take a breath, but he sure can go for wuite a while without breathing. We have spent every afternoon at my mom's pool and now swim lessons have started at kino. He is definitely way too advanced for his class, but he loves it.
It's really hard to be pregnant when it's so hot. Without swimming, I just can't get up energy to do anything else, and my veins in my leg just throb. But somehow, when I lay in the pool....all my problems go away! :) I had another doctor's appointment and guess everything looked perfectly normal in the ultrasound. What a blessing! I am starting to gain lots of weight, but still have sick days of lots of throwing up. So, who knows. I do what I can, but have given up daily exercise. I feel like chasing tommie around and vacuuming are pretty much my workouts! :) Lame huh?
James has been working so hard lately to not only get all his meetings done at work, but to get the house stuff caught up on. The summer lawns are coming in so green, and our tomatoes and squash are coming in from the garden all ready. The chickens have gotten so big and James calls them "his ladies". I guess he is starting to feel like his house is overrun with boys as well. Jimmer has sure been naughty lately, and both of us are back to wondering why we have a puppy. He is determine to get into the garden, and eat the tomatoes, and through the garden into the chickens. He doesn't eat the chickens, just scare them to death and still their food. Every morning at 5:30 he starts barking right by our bedroom window, because he's either stuck under the fence while trying to get in, or he has been in with the chickens and wants out. Talk about annoying because our boys sleep in till 7 still! I think we need to start breeding him. The websites say that may help the energy. HA! I love being surrounded by testosterone.
Sam is engaged to Julie Willis, and they just a took trip down from BYU to meet the family. They stayed here for 2 nights, and it was so fun to get to know her and see more of Sam. It sure made me glad i'm not in that stage of life anymore though! Made me realize how lucky I am to just be married and be past all that. It was exciting though. They will come back down in 3 weeks for the wedding, and spencer gets here in 2 weeks to stay. I'm not sure reality has set in that another boy will be in the house, but lately, I'm not really into planning or preparing for anything. I should be though since i do have lots to do!
James left for the cabin with the priests in the ward this morning. I'll miss having him around this weekend, but Becca's coming to spend the day tomorrow and have a swim and dinner party. Shaela will come back from Prescott this weekend too, so I'll have some friends next week! :)
