It's official, we heard and saw a heart beat and am expecting baby #4!!! We are so very excited for this to finally to be happening! Everyone so far is in agreeance to having another girl, but that just means we will have another boy if we hope too hard!!! So I am trying to stay neutral and say it doesn't matter as long as we have this one and it's healthy!
When asked by relatives or me, this is my kiddoes answers to what they want to have:
Ezra (6)--"A sister, no more brothers for me!" uh, what will she do if she does have another brother??? I did ask her that, this is what she said "I will help you mom, even if I'm sad about that." LOL
Cian (nearly 5, 6 more days people!)--"I just want what will make my mommy happy!"
what a sweet heart, nearly made me cry when I heard!
Iollan (3)-- "a girl." Why, "cause Cian and me two brudders. Ezzy and baby two sissers." lol I love his logic and agree with that one!!! :)
We are only 7 weeks along, so we have a long ways to go. Looks like it's going to be a mid May baby, this will be my first winter pregnancy, so I am looking forward to this, the summer kills me!
Hopefully all goes well with this one, the chances are a lot slimmer now that we have a heart beat and I feel really good about this one too. The last one I was not sick at all and just had a real bad feeling about it the whole time. But I am sick with this one and I love that!!! Being sick is a good sign for me, one I look forward to.
So here is to my sickness and good health that comes with it! lol
*Thanks everyone for you thoughts and prayers, I appreciate it so very much!!!

My Kids
This is some more about my children. I am just so happy to have each and everyone of them in my life. Just this morning I was looking at my little Iolly sleeping, so peacefully moaning his little moans along with his cute little sighs. I cannot imagine life without him. It made me remember when I first found out that I was having another little boy instead of a girl, how I cried and was so worried about having another boy, I thought that all boys would be like my Cian, my monster boy. But they are not, every child is different and that is what he taught me. He has always been very mild with his behaviour, so sweet and kind. He his both a momma's and dadda's boy. He is my cuddle bug every morning and I just love his smiles that he gives and his "Good morning Momma!". He started to have a slight speech problem like his sister did, but because we picked up on it sooner, we have been able to correct it. He talks very well and is favorite phrase when he wants something is"I never, ever, EVER got that before." It's so cute when he says it, he always squeaks with it too. Cian has tried this, but it just doesn't work with an older child, but I give him an A for effort. lol Iollan is growing up so much faster than the others and that makes me sad, he is my baby boy, can't he stay like that just a bit longer??? He is fully potty trained and surprisingly might be getting ready to stop using the diapers at night too, he has gone almost a week without any wet diapers at night, so I'm thinking that another 2 weeks of that and we will try diaper free at nights, that will be nice! He will be the youngest one of the three to go diaperless so young. Ezzy was out at 5 and Cian, well he still wears them, but that's ok. :)
Iollan has decided lately to be very vocal about who does or doesn't like anymore. We have a new little girl that I have started watching and when it was his turn to serve out the food, he refused to serve her because he didn't like her. That was the first time he had ever done that. I'm sure it was all because he just didn't know her, kind of funny though.
My monster boy Cian. I love him for who he is. And to be totally honest, he is turning into the sweetest little boy ever. He is the most helpful child I have, if I ask him to do something, he does it. No questions asked, he does it right then and there too. He is also very helpful with the other kids, he wants to be everyone's friend. He is always the first one to let me know when one of them is sad, he doesn't like to see anyone sad and tries to make them happy by doing silly things. He has also learned to be a good sport,he starts races, but he makes sure that everyone included is having fun, even if that means he looses. He has made me cry many times because of how proud I am of him.
He loves animals too! He is so cute about it, when we went camping one time my sister brought her pug. Whenever Cian thought that he (the pug) was lonely, he would go over and just sit there and hold him. He did that several times and for quite a while too. He just doesn't like to see anyone or anything sad and I love that about him, it shows how caring he is.
He has come along ways, he was and still sometimes is a difficult child. But I love what he is becoming and I know that through his difficulties that that is why he is who he is today. He is very high spirited and we both have to learn how to control it. I love my monster boy very much, wouldn't trade him for anything!!!
Ezra is getting so big and id drives me crazy how big she is. She still loves going to school and wakes up every morning ready to go. She is such a chatter box! We are always getting after her to quiet down cause the boys are still sleeping. She's just so excited to go to school again. We have her take cold lunches to school and she loves it when I use cookie cutters on them and finding little notes saying "I love you" inside. She has asked to purchase cold milk at school, that right there shows me how big she's getting and how independent she is and that makes me happy. Then this morning she asked if she could maybe have hot lunch instead, so I gave her some money to do so. We decided that we will look at the school menu and she can choose the days she want hot lunch and then cold lunches on the rest.
She seems to be doing pretty good with school right now and keeping up with everyone. She loves spelling, learning to read, and doing homework. She asks me daily for homework, most of the time I have to make it up for her cause she doesn't bring any home. She is always bringing drawings home and she always writes mommy on them, cause they are for me. She is getting really good with her drawing too. I love that she loves school I really hope that she continues to have that attitude and I hope that with our encouragement she will continue to do so. She is also excited cause she is looking forward to signing up for basketball. They sent home fliers and she asked if she could play. So I had her decide, bowling or basketball this year and she chose basketball. I'm so glad that she is into sports, hopefully she enjoys learning about basketball and has fun with it.
These are my kiddoes and I love them very much!!!
The reason behind this post is because I watched a movie last night and it just made me think. I watched "The boy in the striped pajamas". This is the second time I watched it, Chet bought it last night and so we watched it together. The whole story makes me mad and sad. The little boy in it though, Bruno, just reminds me so much of Cian. He is an explorer and loves to have a friend, no matter who they are. He was willing to look for the good when everyone else was saying there was none to be found. And then the horror of the mother realizing what happened, I cannot imagine going through that. Fighting so hard to get your children away from this nightmare you are in and that last minute to lose one. The father, well I'm not sure what to think about him. I really just don't even want to go there, he is one that ticks me off, just so wrong what he supported. But they brainwashed everyone, the stuff they were teaching to the children and at such young ages too, ugh!
Ok, ok, I am through with that because that just makes my blood boil, you can ask Chet, I was mad after the movie ended. Anyways, it made me think of my children and how I am so blessed to have them, I cannot imagine losing them.
I love you 3 with all my heart!!! :)

My Dearest Chet!!!!
I haven't been feeling my best lately and Chet has been so wonderful going above and beyond the call of duty! He has been super busy with homework and work, but he still tries to do things to help me out, I love him much!
Tonight I went to my mom's to pick something up from her and when I got home he cleaned the kitchen completely and was reorganizing the pantry. Then I noticed that he also washed a piece of ribbon for me. This ribbon is for my sisters wedding cake and it had gotten frosting on it when I practiced. Well I didn't get a chance to wash it and he did it. It was such a simple thing, but it really touched me so much that I cried. I am so happy to have such a wonderful hubby, he is the best! Thank you Chet for all that you do, you are amazing and I love you so much!!!

Just Random Stuff
Sorry that I have not gotten any pictures on here like I thought I would, but if I could find my camera I would have gotten it done! :)
Ezzy had her second day of school today and so far she loves school! The first thing Ezzy said today when she came home was:
"School is too much fun Mom, I just love it!"
I am so glad that she is loving school, she is now sad cause she has a 3 day weekend: "I hate summer break, why can't we go to school everyday?" Another thing I over heard her say today! haha
Cian and Iolly took a bath tonight and when they got done they decided to race. Well Cian was winning by a long shot and Iolly started to get sad. Cian noticed it and took off his shirt (the final piece of clothing to win the race) and then proceeded to pretend that he couldn't put it on, it kept getting stuck on his foot, that silly foot! lol Iolly was then able to win the race and Cian shouted out "Good job Iolly, you won!!!" Made me so proud when he did that, what a sweet heart Cian is!!!
Iolly is potty trained! Yeah!!! The only diapers in this house in for night time use only, what a relief that is. He had one accident in the last two weeks, but I will not count that one, it truly was not his fault. He had to go really bad and ran into the bathroom (we were at Grandma's house). Well stinky sissy decided that she needed to go too and ran into the bathroom as well and went before him, therefore he had an accident. I was pretty mad at her, there was no reason for that. What a turkey she was.
My dogs like to chase flies and try to eat them, it is hilarious!!! Our house has many flies in it and it drives me insane! But it sure is funny to see the animals going nuts too! If anyone has any good remedies to get rid of flies, please let me know. I leave the door open when the kiddoes go out to play, so that is why we have so many. Don't tell me to shut the door, cause that is a no-no. :)
I've already started on Ol' Hallows Eve costumes and am so excited!!! We are doing an Under the Sea Adventure theme, can't wait to show them off!!! I absolutely LOVE Halloween, my creativity just goes wild! :)

Ezzy is 6 Today!!!
I cannot believe that my little Ezzy May is 6 today! She is getting so big, so fast! She is all ready to go to first grade, just today she told me that she really hated the summer break! lol
I would post pictures of her, but I don't have any recent ones that I want to post, so tomorrow I will. She has a new hairdo, it's so cute, but at the same time it makes her look older, so I don't like it because of that.
She loves to do chores and is a big help anymore. One of her chores is keeping the bathroom orderly, she loves it and gets mad when somebody goes in there messes it up, it's so funny! lol
She is an animal lover and has decided that all the animals are hers, the little thief! All the animals we have gotten are because I have wanted them for my birthday or Mother's day, but she has some how managed to claim them all. Our newest addition, Buddy, loves to sleep with her, he is her "Buddy"!
She still loves to wear dresses and jewelry, very girly, but is always the first one to get into the dirt and playing with bugs. She makes more friends with boys then she does girls, it's so funny. :)
She is our little princess and I cannot imagine life without her, I love her so much! I hope and pray everyday that we get to see her grow up and enjoy a family of her own, she will be a great mother one day, I know it!

7 YEARS TODAY!!!
Today Chet and I celebrated 7 years together! I am so thankful for him everyday, I'm such a lucky woman to have him! He is an amazing father to our children and they love him very much!
This year Chet planned our anniversary (we switch every year, I am the even years, he is the odd ones). Anyways, he decided that we could go to The Grand Tetons and hike to Table Rock. Never being there before, I accepted the challenge. Oh boy, what a mistake that was! We hiked for 11 hours that day, I barely survived!!! I seriously cried on the way down, my feet hurt so bad, I lost track of how many times I fell (we went down the face of the mountain), it was grueling!!!
I am not a hiker, I have never really gone on one in my life! I would like to, but I need to work on it. I am so out of shape right now, but my goal is to be in better shape for next year, I would like to go again, but this time with limits. Chet was so excited for me to see Table Rock that he kept pushing, no matter how hard I pulled. We did not make it to Table Rock, but we did get up to the ridge. It nearly KILLED me though!
On the way up I saw all kinds of people pass us going up or down. There was two that stood out to me. One was a pregnant lady coming down the trail, I could not believe it! She was pregnant and enjoying the hike and here I was having a hard time with it. The second one I saw was a great grandma coming down and passing us. She was so cute! She had her hiking boots on and all decked out for the hike. She was hiking with her kids, grand kids and some great grandkids, how cool is that!!! I hope that I can change my lifestyle so that I can be that kind of great grandma, I just loved seeing her there and wished that I could have had a picture.
Oh ya, I forgot to mention the camp out. When we arrived we immediately put our tent up and then it poured on us! We ate our dinner under the huge umbrella we have and then went to bed (we arrived up there around 7/8 that night). We were getting ready to turn the lights out when we noticed that the tent had leaks in it and they were creating some pretty big puddles. Lucky for us that at the last minute I decided to grab an extra large blanket and it was perfect to soak it all up and kept it from getting on us.
Later that night I woke up and it had stopped raining so I woke Chet up to walk with me to the rest rooms and the sky was so clear! It was beautiful, I wish that I had my camera on me to take a picture of it! Chet saw two shooting stars that night, it was just breath taking. I would love to take my kids up there to stay the night, so that I could wake them up and see the stars so bright, they would just love it!
Anyways, this was our adventure this year to celebrate 7 years together. It was probably the least romantic and one I will never let him live down, but it will probably be one of the ones I remember most!
I hope and pray that we have many more years together and that we can watch our children grow. I love Chet with all my heart, even when I am angry with him and cursing him for the awful hike he took us on. :)
*I should probably mention that he did make it up to me by taking me to dinner and then to the movies, so he's not all that bad huh?? ;)

Quick Updates
Chet-working hard as usual and going to school, on top of that got a new calling and is now the ward clerk assistant for the financial part, he's excited for this new calling and I know that he will do great!
Me-still learning to keep my house cleaner and learning how to survive with little to no sleep at times. I watch kiddoes from 8:30 am to 11:30sh pm throughout the week. I have assigned chores to all 3 kiddoes and they love earning their smileys for allowances, this has helped me out tremendously!!! :)
Ezzy-getting ready to go to 1st grade, I cannot believe it! She is so excited! She loves doing her chores and earning her money and loves paying Jesus her tithing, she's so cute about it! We have started to talk to her about modest clothing and she has discovered she has modesty freckles to help her out. She earned some stars (a chart for behavior) and gets to have her hair highlighted for school, when she earned them she told me she was going blond! lol I had to explain to her what she could get, silly girl!
Cian-we have discovered that he can write with both hands and very well too! He loves telling stories and is very imaginative! His favorite subject is hot lava right now, we always have to watch were we are stepping or what we are eating, red is the cool color right now! lol
Iollan-loves books and carries one around with him where ever we go. He is also very artistic for being so young! His favorite past time is drawing and I use it to encourage him to get things done. He loves to draw bugs and drew a ski boat that actually resembled one too. Too bad I had no camera on me and it was done on a magna doodle, so it didn't last long, but I did have an eye witness to it, my sister Fran, it was amazing! He is also almost done potty training, so all we have diapers is for night time use,nice huh! :)
