Tomorrow, I'm having a baby.

No more heartburn. No more skin tearing. No more "broken" pelvis. No more nausea. No more bloody nose. No more leg cramps. No more suffocating. No more "broken" ribs. No more back pain. No more "taste". I realize that having a baby will bring on a WHOLE new list of complications to my life. BUT...I can't wait for those complications. We can't wait to bring our baby Nixon home!!!

The Dresses!

My girls have been asking me to make them dresses for a while now. Last week, I decided sewing might help the time pass faster while I wait for this baby to arrive. So here they are! Next time, I'll stick to pillow case dresses...I didn't realize how complex this pattern was until I got started. I never want to forget these dresses, I love them. I'll have to take more pictures next time they wear them

Juice!

The weather was FABULOUS last week! This week....not so much. Anyway, my girls have had a blast "selling" eachother juice, candy and water... and jumping on the tramp while they're digesting :) If anyone wants the other lemonade stand, we've got another one in the garage; for a price of course :)

Preschool Field Trips

My girls have LOVED preschool at Flips this year! They're "graduating" on the 26th, so perhaps I'll talk more about their school experience then. But for now, I thought I'd post a few pictures of the field trips they've taken lately.

Here they are at Wheeler Farm. Kendyl gets to go on the field trips too. All the teachers know her by name and are good about including her during the field trip. It's cute. She was feeling left out because she didn't have a special "spray shirt" (spray painted shirt) that all the other kids wear on field trips. She kept wondering where hers was. It melted my heart when Brooklyn decided to take hers off (she had clothes underneath), and let Kendyl wear it. Later, Miss Shanna gave Kendyl her own spray shirt- apparantly there were a couple extras from kids that had given up on preschool.





They went to a lady's house to see baby ducks a few days ago. They loved it.

All in a Day!!!

Nic's had this crazy dream for a while now. It had to happen on the PERFECT weather day. Well Saturday, his dream came true. After we got home from Race for the Cure, we set out to spend the rest of the day snowmobiling and boating.

Nic pulled the snowmobiles and I pulled the boat. We found a safe place in Salt Lake to ditch the SUV/boat while we went into the mountains. There was PLENTY of snow up by Solitude. We started off in coats and ended up in t-shirts. The girls had a BLAST on the snomobiles! I've never seen such big smiles. We pulled a little sled behind one of the snowmobiles and they had tons of fun being pulled behind it...especially Brooklyn. Their favorite part was hopping on Daddy's snowmobile and going fast.









Once we were loaded up, we drove down the mountain, swapped SUVs/trailers, and headed to Utah Lake. My parents met us at the lake and we enjoyed a couple hours on the water. It wasn't even that cold....at least that's what Nic claims. He wasn't about to waste a day at the lake so he hopped in and went wakeboarding!


Only in Utah!! Here's Nic's video! (youtube video "all in one day")

Dear Mom, 10 Years!!!!! XOXO

We got to celebrate my beautiful mom yesterday at Race for the Cure. 10 years ago, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. It was a horrible time, but she beat it and kicked cancer's butt! I LOVE my mom to pieces and don't know how I could survive without her in my life. It's nice to have a weekend to celebrate our moms. Aren't they wonderful! Nic and I are so blessed to have two amazing mothers in our lives that would do ANYTHING to make our lives good. I just pray I can make life just as good for my kiddos!

Another Bedroom Makeover!

Remember this room?

It's Kendyl's room. Unfortunately, we've got a bedroom shortage on our hands with a new baby coming. I suppose we have a bedroom in the basement, but we've converted it into a playroom and there's no way I could disband that. So Kendyl's about to get a new roommate.

Anyway, it all started with putting Kendyl in the dreaded "big girl bed". I tried to put it off as long as I could, but it was time. I'm happy to report, she's been in the bed for a couple weeks so far and hasn't dared get out of it ONCE! Naps and all! What a relief. To top off all this big girl stuff, she's now wearing panties to bed also. She's not about to let her big sisters leave her in the dust :)

Obviously a remodel was in order. Nic's view was "who cares, the baby won't care if he's in a pink bed". but.....he wasn't too hard to convince otherwise. So here it is, the gender-neutral hippo bedroom. The twin bed frame is probably 30 years old and each of the Sellers children had their turn with it. I called dibs on it a while back :) The paint job was a joint effort (obviously Nic did a bit more then I did). And for the record, I almost cried when we painted over her cute pink walls and the cute little flowers with white paint. My mom and I created the valance together. I will miss the cute little neapolitan bedroom, but this one is super cute too...very different! I'm glad it's all done. I'm ready to be project-free and just relax for the next couple weeks. Ya right, who am I kidding with these 3 maniacs running around :)
