A Big Year!!

Well 2011 has turned out to be a heck of a year so far. Right around the new year we found out we would be having another baby this summer and not a week after that I was called as Primary President in our ward. Not something I was expecting at all. My initial thought was, "No, I just found out I am pregnant and I am throwing up everyday and there is no way I can give this calling what it deserves." But I sat there, smiled and excepted at which point Bishop releases Ryan from his calling and then makes up some ward sports cordinator position for him. Nice huh!
I am now a couple months into it all, still throwing up but chugging along. I have been twice as sick this time and ten times as lazy. I have resulted to a maid once a month, and my house ends up daily as the picture above. If anything positive has come out of all this, I have learned things, housework, can wait. I don't care how big a mess the kids make, as long as they are playing nice. TV is a great source of entertainment and it is ok for them to "snack" all day. I have hit new lows these last few months and am totally okay with it. The five hours I work each day are about all you will get out of me. Also, T has been an amazing helper. He helps with C so much and I don't know what I would do without him.
My calling is going well too. I have great councelors who are picking up my slack and I feel we are starting to feel good about this all. I am happy to serve with the kids, they are the best. So sweet and innocent.
Enjoying Papa Burt's Ranger. Thank goodness Papa comes by daily to make sure the kids are fed and given a little attention!!
My monkey. She is still everywhere and starting to talk a ton more. We recently realized that when she says frog it sounds a bit more like another four letter word that starts with f. Funny but embarrassing.

She has my cleaning gene. She will ask for wipes and then start wiping down the whole house. Love her!!

These two are becoming great friends. I hope they only continue to enjoy each other like they do now.

Holy cow!! Congratulations! I hope Clay didn't know about this news and keep it from me.

You are such a trooper and an excellent mom, even if you don't feel like it some days. I could never do all that you do! Congrats again. That is so exciting!

CONGRATS Jess and Ry! I doubt you are as ever as lazy as you think you are. Maybe just normal for the average person! Hope all is well.
