Random

Friday night we were able to go on a group date night with our good friends. We went to dinner and then saw Mocking Jay.

 Us girls!

 My amazing date!

A few random pictures from my phone that I just had to put on my blog.

 My mom is the one on the right in this picture. It's a picture of her and her good friend Grace from when they were younger.

 My goofy kids showing off two scarfs I made

 Can't forget this girl alone. I love this scarf on her that I made. Mckinley just makes me laugh sometimes with her silly faces. 

Lastly I haven't posted a picture in a long time about my amazing sister in law from her mission in Taiwan. Kelsey is doing amazing. I love her and miss her tons!

In the last 6 days!

Mckinley always has an interesting hairstyle by the end of the day!

 We spent a lot of time cleaning our house and these kids were all very helpful so we took them out for a treat!

 They love playing games!

 Payton's end of the soccer season party. I didn't get a very good picture!

 These two are goofy. Sometimes Kin loves her dad other times she wants nothing to do with him and only wants me. 

 Saturday we went as a family to visit the Sacramento temple. It was a day my entire extended family decided was a good day to go and reflect upon my cousin Perry's life on this earth. Saturday was is birthday and he unexpectedly passed away a month ago. It was very heart warming to be able to go and just feel the spirit. I know my cousin is in a much better place and his happy being with our aunt and grandpa.

 We walked around the temple and then found a spot to sit and talk with the kids. Josh did an amazing job explaining  to the kids why we were there and the importance of the temple. We had a family prayer that I sad. I couldn't hold it together. I just felt so blessed and overwhelmed with the feelings of losing a cousin. It was nice to be able to say the prayer though and express my feelings. 

 I sure do love my family!

 Playing in the leaves

After the temple we did a little christmas chopping and eat some dinner then headed to the Kings basketball game. The kids were super excited to go!

Payton was super into the game like his dad. He knew everything that was going on. Scarlett watched here and there. Mckinley did not care at all.

 The Kings WON!!! It was a fun game to watch!

Payton loves leaving his pajama shirt unbuttoned. It cracks me up!

 We enjoyed our "Friendsgiving" with the Drinkwater's and the Toutai's. We are very blessed to have such great friends in our lives. They are family to us!

Sleeping pictures are just the best. Mckinley is super cute and likes to sneak into our bed sometimes. It's been a fun 6 days and we definitely stay busy!

Baby #4

Back at the end of July I ran my 2nd half marathon and we bought a car all in the same day. That next morning I decided to take a pregnancy test and it was positive. I was a little shocked, but excited all the same. I told Josh and kept it a secret for a little bit. Slowly the word went out to our family and friends. I was super sick and tired till week 13. It was really rough. I didn't do anything around the house. I didn't make dinner and I just wanted to sleep all the time. I kept telling Josh how much I don't love being pregnant for those reasons. 

This was taken at about week 7. 

We went in for the ultra sound at 20 weeks. We were very excited to find out what we were having. Payton really wanted a brother and the girls wanted either one. When we went to pick up the kids from Krista's house Mel was there waiting to hear what the baby is. The kids were very excited to be told. When we said it is a GIRL Payton asked at least 2 times if we were serious. He then kept saying lets leave. I could tell he was upset. Josh took him outside and Payton lost it. He was crying. He really wanted a brother. I felt so bad for him. He is better now that it has been a couple of days. The girls were excited and can't wait for a little sister. 

Baby Girl is due March 29th 2015. We can't wait for her to come and join or crazy family.
