Fashion!

Well not a whole lot of new things have been happening here. The other day on our way down to the bus stop, Alice turned to me and said, "Mommy, you're wearing brown and gray" like I was committing some sort of fashion faux pas! I guess looking at how stylish she is nowdays she would know style.

I told her, "Alice, I wear what fits me" that seemed to make the brown and gray combination ok lol.

Peter is just as awesome as ever too. He doesn't like to sit still so he isn't a big fan of school. After school he loves though! Running around and just being all sorts of a boy!

Both kids can't wait for baby brother to come in a couple of weeks. (I say couple because it sounds shorter but really we have about 4 weeks now) I had to switch doctors because my doctor moved to Virginia. But I'm all ok with it because my new doctor has already set a date for me to be induced! This way Jacob will be able to be here for the baby coming. I told him I'd be pretty upset if he wasn't. So the big day for us will be October 28th! I can't wait. I feel so gigantic! I'm also getting more and more cranky as this pregnancy progresses. I think everyone will be happier once baby is here.

Not a whole lot of new things have been happening with Jacob either. He's just kinda living the army life and hating it. He's super excited to get done with it and moving out here to be with us! We're anxious for that too.

One other bit of news. Alice and Peter's dad moved to Alabama this week to be with his fiancee. This means that Alice and Peter will be up here pretty much all of the time now and will go spend the majority of the summer with their dad. They miss him already but they are very tough kids and will be just fine I'm sure. Especially when they start to realize they will be going to more birthday parties, primary activities, and family parties. The amount of summer time they have with me will be determined on what the summer plans turn out to be. So if you want Alice and Peter to be at your event, let me know lol.

Well hope everything is going great with everyone! I'm super excited to watch confrence this weekend! Oh and mom is giving me a baby shower on October 8th. It's going to be an open house (because I really don't like baby shower games) at our house from 1-5. Feel free to come and don't feel bad if you didn't get an invitation; I forget a lot.

SO Much Going On!

Wow there has been a lot since I last posted! Let's see if I can remember it all.

I guess the biggest thing that happened is my Grandpa Wilding passed away on August 23rd. He'd been battling cancer for many years and on August 6th found out that melanoma had coated his lungs and heart. They gave him 3-6 weeks. He was truely a great man and will be missed very much! I'm doing pretty ok with it. It was a really huge blessing to have Jacob come a few days afterwords so I could have some time to grieve. I'm sure there's more in there but it will come when I least expect it to. Anyways, how exciting for Grandpa though! Look at all the neat people he will or already has gotten to meet!

In other news, Alice and Peter started school on the 29th. Alice LOVES it and said, "This is going to be the BEST year EVER!!" Peter isn't so thrilled. What I think it is is he has a hard time actually sitting down and learning. He wants to be up and moving around. He's also disappointed in the new playground, "It's smaller than the other one! Even though it has 3 slides." Don't you love what's important to kids?

On the Sunday before school started we had a very special family home evening where Jacob was able to give us back to school preisthood blessings. I am SO grateful to have a worthy priesthood holder as a husband who can give us blessings whenever we need them. I just hope I can stay worthy enough to keep him!

My glucose test did come back positive so I have gestational diabeties. It's been an adjustment that's for sure! Breakfast is the hardest time for me because I only get 30 grams of carbohydrates. Go ahead and take a look at your favorite cereal. That plus the milk for ONE serving is already more than I can have. I've been eating a lot of eggs and ham & cheese in a taco shell for breakfast. I have a feeling that's going to get old. Other than that it hasn't been too hard to adjust.

Well that's about all for the Murphys this time!
