Learning all about Blogs

Scott has been making all these entries, and I have finally asked him to teach me how to add entries. Pretty easy, I just hadn't done it yet. I like that he writes, though. I can't think of anything to write!



We are getting closer to having this baby. I have stopped taking the medication that stops my contractions, so if I start having them, and I can't stop them... there's no waiting. Then again, it may be another four weeks--who knows?



Scott conducted Sacrament Meeting for the first time--and did a GREAT job! We had a bet, I thought he would cry when he bore his testimony... he didn't think he would. I think his eyes teared up and his voice got shaky, but he doesn't think so. (He is a "Sobbing Daw"...)

A Living Prophet

Yesterday we attended Regional Conference at the conference Center. This conference was for 104 stake around the Salt Lake Valley and we were one of fourteen stakes that was invited to attend in the Conference Center. (Others watched via satellite) Presiding at the conference was President Hinckley who spoke and also President Packer. We sat about two-thirds of the way back on the main floor level. the boys were able to see the prophet in person albeit from quite a distance away. Weston later said to Beebs how glad he was that he could see the prophet and yet he probably does not grasp what an opportunity it was for him and all of us.

Getting Closer (Sometimes Too Close!!)

By too close we mean we went to the hospital last Wednesday night-Thursday Morning at 3:00 am to get the contractions stopped. as of Friday Oct 19th Beebs is 34 weeks and counting. What is nice is that she is past the "critical" stage and if the baby were born now things would likely be okay, but another couple weeks would be good for the baby. (Not so much for Beebs)

Scott has been busy with his old man calling. (Bishopric) he spends most Tuesday and Wednesday nights at the church plus a majority of the day on Sunday and sometimes on Thursdays or other weekend days. Needless to say he is busy but is doing a good job of spending every available moment with Beebs and the boys. He even takes Weston with him to activities at the church when he can.

The boys are, well just perfect (except when they are not) They are cute and are growing up so fast. They got bunk beds this week and Weston was brave and overcame his fears and climbed all the way up to the top bunk. we were quite nervous that he would not sleep on the top but he is doing great. Aidan looks so tiny laying in the big boy bed. Of course that may be because he is tiny.

Old Man

Well life is changing for our family. Last week Scott went from a young energetic stylish guy to an old tired High Priest. In other words Scott got called as the second counselor in our Bishopric. This change of course affects Scott's schedule and life but it also greatly impacts Beebs and the boys, not to mention the pregnancy. We are trying to find a "Church Nanny" (someone to sit with Beebs during Sacrament Meeting to help with the boys) during the pregnancy.

Beebs is now 29.5 weeks pregnant. Time sure goes slow when your not having fun. She is ready to get this puppy delivered (we view our children as pets) but of course not until all is well and ready.

The boys are cute. Aidan gets his cast off his arm this week which will be nice for him. It has been quite entertaining to watch him try and eat with his arm in the cast. of course he cannot bend it so he instead moves his head and wrist together. It is pretty funny to watch.

Weston is doing very well in pre-school right now. He is learning so many things and we are constantly amazed at how smart he is.

Brennan's Modeling Portfolio

So we of course think he is beautiful! These picture came from a 3D ultrasound that Beens had the second time we took her to the hospital to get the contractions stopped. All is well with Brennan. Beebs just keeps having contractions and so she has to take things easy. (No carrying things heavy, no picking up the kids, no walks around the block, no heavy cleaning)
Of course Weston and Aidan don't understand why Mommy can't don anything fun but soon enough we will have Brennan and then both Mom and Dad will be old hat to them.

Our boys are growing up

Our boys are growing up so fast. Weston is practically an adult! Well sometimes it seems that way anyway.

Well Beebs is now 24 weeks pregnant and the fun has just begun. We have been to the hospital the last 2 days in a row to have the doctors give her medicine to stop her contractions. All looks fine but it is quite stressful on her to have to keep going and the medicine they give her makes her sick so there is really no good solution. Only 16 more weeks of fun to go!!!

I think people would laugh at him if we named him Elise

Yeah so our sweet little girl that Beebs is pregnant with, well it turns out she is a he. Yep we are having another little boy (Brennan) and of course we are excited. Weston on the other hand is still getting used to the idea of another brother when he so desperately wanted Elise (Probably because we have told him it was a sister named Elise and built the whole thing up)

Not only is it Brennan but the due date has been moved from December 10 to November 30. This is nice because that is 10 fewer days of pregnancy.

For our five year anniversary we went up to Cliff Lake and West Yellowstone in Montana. Beebs used to work at the lodge at Cliff Lake and so we went back and visited the old place. It was great. We briefly went into Yellowstone and say Old Faithful and some mud pots etc. It was a quick 3 day trip but it was so relaxing and enjoyable that it felt like a full week.

Pictures will have to come later. We are just so busy with life right now. It seems like every weekend we have something going on with either family or church. It is always good to be busy but a little free time would be nice.

Aidan has been a little sick recently which has kept him up at night. Interestingly however he is quite happy, just not sleepy which creates a bit of a dilemma for us because we want to sleep but it is hard to keep our eyes off of him when he is sitting playing and singing to himself.
