Well, that's on the bottom of a VERY long list, but if I did have one, I could update my blog more often. I could be a little more productive as I kick my feet up in bed or on the couch. As I type, right now, sitting at my desk, my feet are swelling by the second, my uterus is contracting and I have to pee. So I'll make this FAST!!!!

School started Monday. I'm slightly frazzled dropping off and picking up 3 times a day. Reagan (who started kindergarten) BAWLED for the first 20 minutes on her first day. Then came home and said she LOVED IT. She is in afternoon kindergarten (which I love... I think), and she asks me ALL MORNING "is it time for school yet??". She's so cute, and SO BIG! I still get teary every time I drop her off.

Lincoln LOVES school too. In his own words "it's way better than sitting at home". He's a TURKEY! But I'm glad he loves 2nd grade. He has enjoyed a few hunting days with his Dad in southern Utah. I'll have to post some pictures and stories a little later.
I'm still babysitting Kyra and Kenzi. Kyra (who just recently turned 2) was potty trained last Saturday and has done AMAZING all week. YEAH!!
Kenzi (3.5 year old), is very content giving my little ponies makeovers with McKinley all day long.
We haven't seen much of Zach around here. He's been busy working and working and... oh yea, working. He's really trying to get things squared away, so when we have this new baby, it wont be so insane!!!
Speaking of baby... He/She is 33 weeks along, and doing great! 2 weeks ago He/She dropped into proper position, so we are just waiting 3-4 more weeks until contractions don't let up and mother nature takes its course. My Doctor is not concerned about preterm labor, which has eased me... the anxiety queen. We'd decided it is better (for my anxiety), NOT to get "checked" until 35 weeks. All it would do is freak me out if I was dilating and then possibly put me into labor. So for now... I drink disgusting amounts of water and lay down as often as possible which seems to do the trick.
Lincoln is CONVINCED it is a boy (which has convinced me), so we all call the baby HIM/HE all the time. If it IS a girl... we are going to have a heck of a time switching gears.
We have enjoyed a VERY eventful summer. A sisters weekend... with all our kids.... to St. George. Field trips to California Pizza Kitchen and Shark Reef. A tour of a horse ranch. TONS of SWIMMING!!! Cousin sleepovers. And more!! It has been super sad for me to have my kids go to school. If we could, I'd move into the middle of nowhere and make them stay home with me all day every day.
So there it is. A quick update. I'm sure I'm missing a million important details but I can't think about anything else right now as my feet try to split open.
I can't wait to have my body back. To be able to paint my own toes. To be able to pick up toys. To be able to wash my floors EVERY DAY FOREVER (if I so choose).
And I hate to admit it... but my next post will most likely be announcing the birth of our baby! Sorry for my disappearance over the past 9 months. Life is crazy and so am I!
Stay tuned. Love and miss you all.

Al least we get a lot of good updates from you on Facebook. The blog seems like so much work now that you can quickly post something on the good ole FB.
But I love the details in a blog - so thanks for the update :)
Good luck with the baby - I didn't realize you guys were choosing to be suprised. That is so fun, especially since you already have boy and girl stuff.
So glad you updated! I'm so excited for your family and the new baby. Your kids are getting so big and look so cute on their first day of school. I can't wait to see more updates and the new baby! :) hugs!!
