St George

My SIL blessed her twins and they live down in St. George so the whole Christensen side of the family went down (well almost, we missed Lisa:( ) We had tons of fun and unfortunately I suck at taking pics so I got one activity that we did and that was pretty much it! The boys LOVED their time; Shane went through serious withdrawals when we got home from all the constant fun he had. Brock had quite a few potty adventures and let's just say he ended up in pull-ups after the first few hours of being there! I will save his dignity but it wasn't too much fun for anyone!

When we got there we went to a place called (shoot I don't remember) but anyways it was a lot of fun! Shane went through this really thin slot a bunch of times and loved it. Thank goodness for good cousins cause I was too freaked out to do it. It is a TIGHT squeeze and I was a little claustrophobic!

Than we went to the sand dunes and let the kids play and help Uncle Brad dig a huge hole aka bunker. The boys were all taking off their shirts so Shane did too, than Brock had to take off his shirt, than his pants and started to take off the undies when I convinced him not to streak the sand dunes!!!

After we had a great dinner at Mara's condo/hotel room. The next days was probably the best! Dave called us so went and saw him, Lei and the kiddos (man how they have grown just after a few month of being gone!) and we all tanked up to Mara's again and swam all day. Brad and Kim came a little late and Cami and Shawn came too with Miss Mia. It was a ton of fun!!! The kids crashed so hard that night!

The next day was the blessing, it was so sweet! Those babies are so cute! We had A HUGE Hawaiian dinner after that was absolutely amazing! Those Hawaiians sure now how to cook and eat! Thanks Cami and Shawn!

Zoo Fun

So I was really bored and decided to take the kids to the zoo. Brock was in heaven. He was especialy excited to see the animals that were on Madagascar and so the zebras were Marty, ect. He was so funny, Shane on the other hand was dying to go play on the play ground and that was all I heard. Are we done yet...can I go play now.... it made the whole event loads of fun! Pictures coming soon...computer is freaking out!

Updates

I am so bad at updating and namimg my blog topics! It was super depressing to add the baby count down, I am so ready (yes I know ALREADY?) to be done with pregnancy! I HATE being pregnant. It is like being on an emotional roller coaster that someone else gets to steer. Dan called and said he was going to be home a little later one night, I was picking Shane up from his friends house and embarassingly enough, I broke down into tears over it. I don't know why but I did. I am 9 weeks pregnant and am already really showing and it is just way too much fun to watch the reaction of people and see on their face how they are trying so hard to be nice. I don't know why I get so big and this round why I am getting so big so fast (yes it is only one) so naturally I am just terrified that by the end of this my stomache will just split wide open. I don't know how much further it will be able to be pushed! So here is my onery complaint about being pregnant! I know I should be more grateful for my experiences and getting this opportunity, maybe I will be once it is all over!

Shane is SUPER excited for the baby to come. He talks about it constantly which is really fun. He is very wishwashy about the gender, one day he is SURE it's gonna be a girl than the next day he is SURE it is going to be a boy. He picks out quite silly names for it all the time also. He excitement is very contagious!

We are still struggling with Brock and potty training. We put him back into pull-ups and it made things worse so we have gone back to underwear. I am a week away from just putting him back into diapers and saying screw it! I just don't want to take such a huge step back, it seems to be better to move forward but what do I know??? One more week is my goal, I hope we can meet it!

Dan is looking for work so if anyone knows of anything let us know!!! His business didn't line up the way it was suppossed to making it impossible to work. So he is working construction with a friend adn searching for jobs. I hate being in this situation AGAIN, but are trying our best so what can you do?

Well thanks for letting me ramble, I partly don't update this very much because my life seems to be pretty depressing. I have my first baby appointment next Tuesday so that will be something fun!!!
