I'm pregnant! I've been wanting another baby, but Bob didn't really. I thought I'd be able to talk him into it by the end of the year. But it surprised us both. I thought I had ovarian cysts again and my cycle had been a little odd. But I never would have thought I'd get pregnant when I did. This baby must be meant to be! Bob was a little shocked, but he's coming around. He says this is definitely the last one. I think I'm ok with that. I don't know if I could handle six or being pregnant six times. I'm really hoping this'll be a girl and I can name her Ruby. But I love our boys and I'd be fine with another one. My pregnancy with Seth was really hard, I'm hoping this one won't be quite as bad. I'm in better shape now and I couldn't exercise that much because of my back last time, but this time I have swimming, so I'm hoping that'll help. And I have an appointment with my doctor this week. I already had one scheduled for the cysts. So I'm hoping by going in early, I can get some Zofran early and that'll help with the sickness. I think I'm due in mid November. Time seems like it goes so fast now, so November doesn't really feel that far away. I hope it goes as fast as it seems like it will.
Yesterday Bob and I went to Sandy, our next door neighbor's, 70th birthday party. We have such great neighbors. We love Sandy and May.
We went camping at Red Rock on Friday night. It wasn't our best campout. Red Rock isn't nearly as fun as Valley of Fire, especially in the campsites. And then it got really cold at night and it was spring break so there were college students driving in and out for most of the night. But the kids still had fun and we cooked hot dogs and smores. We'll go to Valley of Fire next time.

March 14
Bob had an exciting birthday this year. He's been on a lucky streak lately. He listens to talk radio all the time and a couple of weeks ago they were giving away tickets to Nascar weekend. Bob called in and won. I didn't know people really win those things. The prize Bob really wanted was tickets to the MountainWest Basketball tournament. So they started giving them away last week. He called in and won two tickets to the championship game. He was happy about that, but he'd like to go to more than just one game. So there was another giveaway and he called in and won again! He won 2 tickets to the whole thing. Jackpot! He was so proud of himself. And to make it even better, his good friend, Kenton, decided to come out from Chicago to go to all the games together. They even wore matching Cougar shirts (sadly we forgot to take pictures). The night before Kenton came in and the games started, Bob could hardly sleep he was so excited. They spent three days at the basketball games and had a great time! Even when they spent 3 1/2 hours at the DMV together. And Mark was able to join them for a couple of hours on his way through town.
On Bob's actual birthday, we had pizza and sprite and chocolate cake from costco--all Bob's favorites. He got a double glasses case that Rachel made for him in her sewing class; so he can carry his regular glasses and perscription sunglasses at the same time. Danny got him a sudoku book, Aaron got him a baseball tee so they can practice together. And he got new tennis shoes for his upcoming triathlon.
Danny got contacts this week. He realized that it was going to be hard to see the ball in baseball, but didn't want to wear his glasses. My eye dr said he's given contacts to lots of responsible 8-year-olds. And Danny is very responsible. He was so excited. He's been a little less excited the last couple of days as he's realized it's going to take a little while to get good at getting them in, but he'll get the hang of it soon.
Seth is walking really well. He loves it, it makes him so happy to walk all day.
Rachel's sewing lesson was fun this week. She was able to make Bob's present. I think it's going to be really fun to do this with her. It'll be nice to do easy projects like pillows and things where it doesn't matter if you get it just right or not--that's usually the frustrating part of sewing for me. And she loves it.
I'm really loving swimming. I'm still going to my swim class at the gym every wednesday (Seth still doesn't like going to the childcare). I'm getting so much better at swimming. And I go on Mondays by myself and swim a mile.

March 7
Seth has been sick all week. Last Sunday after church his fever went up to 104.5 and he kept throwing up. So I took him in to urgent care. They said it was just a virus. So he was really sick for the next couple of days and wasn't getting better. I took him back to the doctor on Wednesday morning. He said Seth had an ear infection and he was worried Seth had pneumonia too. So I spent all morning getting blood work and a chest x-ray and medicine. And then it turned out it wasn't pneumonia, just a virus in his lung with inflamation. But he's been on antibiotics for his ear infection and he's been doing much better. Last night was the first night he's slept through the night in a week. Bob is such a great dad. He slept on Seth's floor almost all week. Seth's also been getting his last molar this week. His walking is getting much better--he's more brave with it. It's fun to watch.
I've been working on two new websites this week. One of them is a newsroom site for United Way and the other is a down syndrome org site for a guy in my ward. I'm using wordpress for both of them. It's been good to learn and the sites are starting to come together.
Bob has been on a lucky streak. Last weekend he won tickets to the Nascar race. He won them by calling in to a radio show. The tickets were worth about $500. We went with Seth and Aaron on Friday. It felt like the movie Cars. It was fun to see. And then Bob and Danny went on Saturday and Bob gave the tickets for Sunday to our neighbor. Then this week Bob has really been wanting to go to the Mountainwest Championship. So he called in to a tv channel earlier this week and won 2 tickets to the final game. And then yesterday he called in to another radio station and won tickets to all the sessions. That was also worth a couple hundred dollars. He's pretty excited. His birthday also falls on the day of the final game, so that worked out really well.
We got together with the Deans this week and had a little olympics. We were supposed to do it last week while the real olympics were going on, but it was Maeli's birthday so we went to her party instead. So Kata made a torch and I made some medals with the button maker. The kids were most interested in playing, but they had fun running some races and having a throwing contest.
The boys started baseball this week. I think they'll both really like it. It's just going to be really time consuming. And Danny finished up basketball. He played really well at his last game. It seems like that happens a lot where he just starts really getting into a rhythm with his sport at the end of the season. But he really liked it and says he wants to do summer basketball too.
Rachel and I started doing a sewing class this week. I didn't want her to feel bad that the boys all have things we're going to, and she didn't have anything. She is doing really well at piano, though. But we started a sewing class for her on wednesdays. We got some fabric and she's been practicing on the sewing machine with scrap fabric. This week, we're going to attempt a pillow. She's really excited about it.
