Swim Lessons

Jace and his teacher AnnaMarie Jace and Tate started swim lessons on Monday and are having a blast. Shauna and I get to be in the water with them. The only way we were able to get a picture with them standing together without being distracted was by having them hold hands...ahhh how cute! Jace is loving starting his day off in the water....and so am I! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VIDEOS

Well, I have been really lazy about updating our blog...I am blaming it on the pregnancy. But to update everyone, we have been busy.
I did end up going to visit family...both sets of grandparents. We had a wonderful time and would have stayed much longer, but I needed to get back for my lamaze class. Luckily, since LaVon is in boot camp, Joy decided to come back with me for a couple of weeks...needless to say we had a blast. We playe games, got pedicures, went to the park (alot), made hooter hiders - mine needs alot of help...it was the trial run, and ate lots of good food. It was great to have her and Cyle here...it gave us a slight glimpse of what it will be like with an infant around...Jace learned a ton about babies.
I had a doctors appointment last week and I am measuring about 2 weeks smaller, which the doctor is totally okay with...he wants me to have a much smaller baby than Jace. My hernia will have to wait until 6 week at least post delivery, but I think I am okay with that. I am having some numbness in my right hand but only at night, the doctor says it should go away after delivery. I just keep thinking it is so hard to go through pregnancy, but so worth it. I see Jace and think he was worth every hard thing I had to go through.
Monday Jace will start swim lessons and is really excited about that. I get to be in the water with him and I think it will just be so fun. He continues to potty train and number 1 is becoming alot easier. He does better on days that I am diligent about it...if I could just be better about it everyday.
Brett still is working on his class...but just the lab part (only a couple of more weeks) and he continues to move forward on his thesis. YAHOO!!!
Jace and I spent a day with GG (great grandma Nelson) since she has been having some health issues. Jace just loves her...he is so lucky to know his great grandmas.
I think that about updates our family...again I apologize for my laziness and can't promise it will get better :)

What we have been up to!

Sorry no pics this time...but will soon come...we have just been having a few more computer problems, but will hopefully be fixed in the next two weeks. So, now that I got that out of the way I will fill you in on what has been happening with us.

We found Jace a new twin bedroom set, complete with dresser, nightstand and matresses for a great deal. We made the change a few days ago, and he has done wonderful....NO sleepless nights, and he hasn't fallen off. I am sure that it helped that the new sheets we got him are all tractors and trucks. The other morning one of the first things he said to me was "I am a tractoraholic". It was so cute because he normally says he is a chocaholic...so tractors have moved up in the world. He is absolutely adorable and I am loving staying at home with him.

We continue to work on the potty training thing and he is opposite than most kids. #2 is really easy for him and he is doing it 3 or 4 times a week in the big boy toilet, but #1is just trouble....so many accidents, it is frustrating. But we will continue to work with him....I am hoping to have it done before little sister is here.

Our weather is gorgeous, except for the snow today. We have finally had more warm days than cold days and I am loving it. We go for bike rides, walks, play outside (all the time), and have broken out the BBQ...one of my favorites. I would have to say spring is finally here!

I am doing great with the pregnancy...only 16 more weeks to go! I am totally nesting!!!! Brett thinks it is hilarious. I may have pushed myself though...I am pretty sure I have a hernia...I have had them before and am more prone to getting them. I go to see the doctor this week and we will see what he says...he better not tell me to take it easy...spring just got here...j/k!

Jace is really excited and walks around the house with his blanket (as the baby) rocking and snuggling the baby...boy does he have a rude awakening coming! It really is so sweet though that he loves the baby!

This coming week, Brett and I get to go stay at the Anniversary Inn. I have always wanted to spend a night there, but have been too cheap to do it, but since some friends gave us a gift certificate, my dream is coming true! If you aren't familiar with what it is...go google it and look at the amazing rooms. We decided to stay in "Rich's Drive In". It will be so fun, but I am a little nervous to leave the little guy (Jace) for one night....this is a first...but well needed.

So, definitely pictures to come...but I didn't want everyone thinking we fell off the face of the earth....we are actually doing great and are loving life! Who wouldn't love life with a family like mine...I love them so MUCH!!!
