Still no pictures... but we're alive!

It's amazing how busy you can be when you stay at home, especially when both of us are at home. This week has been crazy and we've been running everywhere, but I thought I would take a second to update... Still no pictures... I've figured out my camera and put them on the computer but don't have the time to put them on yet. Lame, I know.

We have been endlessly searching for a new job but still have had no success. Kris applied to Graduate School at NAU and was accepted for Mechanical Engineering. School starts in August so at least now we have an option. So, rather than just sitting around and waiting for a job, we may be headed back to Flagstaff. Nothing is certain yet, but it's an option. That of course means we have to make some decisions: school, to rent or sale our house, where to live...

I am getting bigger and bigger with each passing day. I don't feel like I've gained a ton of weight, but I'm up to 42 pounds with 5 1/2 weeks still to go... or probably longer since I was a week over with Kaylee. If only the weight would just fall off once the baby is born... yeah right! The important thing is that the baby and I are both healthy. I only gained 24 pounds with Kaylee and I felt like I gained the weight everywhere. This time, I don't feel like it's everywhere and I can't believe I've gained that much. My doctor said it's a little high but he isn't really worried about it.

Kaylee turned 2 on the 24th of May. I can't believe how fast time goes. She is a stubborn but cute little girl that we love! We just had her pictures taken at Walmart, so in a few weeks, I will try to post them. She has so much personality. I was at the doctor today and walked in to see Kaylee cutting Kaden's hair (a little boy that I watch). Thankfully, you couldn't tell even though she took about an inch off on top in a spot. His mom just laughed! She can put on her shoes and socks, buckle herself in her carseat, open the fridge, talk, count to 10, and much more. She's just not my little baby anymore. She's excited to be a big sister and always says that she's my helper.

We've gone to: Flagstaff for NAU graduation for my sister Adrianna, to Safford for my cousin's baptism, to Queen Creek for my cousin's baby's blessing, to Mesa for my cousin's wedding, and are going to Mesa for another cousin's wedding and then to Flagstaff for the reception. We plan to go camping on the rim with my grandparents for a couple of days and camping with Kris' family for a week or two. Kris has been working on the yard and trying to get our fence finished. I go to endless doctor appointments which are only going to increase since I only have 5 1/2 weeks left, but who's counting! We've been trying to go through boxes that we haven't opened or needed for the past 2 years... just in case we move. We don't need to move them to let them sit for more years. I've still been babysitting and will probably until the end of June.

So, it doesn't seem like we're that busy but I really just can't figure out where all the time goes... I guess to running errands, our church callings, home and visiting teaching, trying to make decisions, doctor appointments, park day, story time at the library, grocery shopping, baths, meals, chores... okay, it's not so hard to see.

Anyways, we are doing well and continually thank Heavenly Father for blessing us during these hard times. We truly have so much to be thankful for... things that we often take for granted mean so much more to us now! Thank you all for your love and support.
