SPRING BREAK 2016

These pictures were taken on March 30, 2016. Ryder and Strayden stayed the night and the boys played out in the snow all night. Spring break has not been very warm at all! 

ROUGH PREGNANCY

This pregnancy has been the hardest of any of them. I don't know if it is my age or because it's s girl. The first few weeks I had a massive headache, all the time. Then followed by bad (all day) sickness. I was so tired and could hardly do anything. I finally started getting over being sick and a few places started itching on my body. About a week after I started itching, it had spread all over my body. It was way worse at night. I was usually awake from about 11 pm to 3 am then it seemed to ease up a little. I spoke to the doctor and he thinks I have Cholestatis, a disease you can get when your pregnant. Your body doesn't get rid of the bile right so it leaks into your blood stream and you itch really bad. He put me on medicine which has approved it about 50 percent, but still is miserable! I want to crawl out of my skin most of the time. I did more blood work today, hopefully we will find out what the problem for sure is. It just seems like it is one thing after another with this pregnancy. I'm still not sleeping good at night, normally wake at least a few hours. I've tried every detox bath, cream, vitamin, and oil you can imagine... The only thing that helps is peppermint but when it's covering your body, you actually feel really cold. But it does real over the itch for a couple hours. I've decided through all of this that I'm to old to have a baby!!! 

IT'S A GIRL

I'm On March 3rd we went to Feto Foto in Provo to find out what our baby would be. I am due in August. Dusty had bought a new (to us) semi so I took him to Heber to pick it up then Adree and I went shopping for the day then I had an appointment at 3:30. I bought cannons that would shoot either blue or pink in the air depending on the sex of the child. Nobody knew what it was until we shot the cannons off. We did it as soon as we got home. The boys stood there shocked, I think they all expected blue to come out. Finally Ridge said "It's a girl?!?!" Everyone is a little surprised, I think we really expected a boy. Rayce and Wayke kept looking in the cannon to make sure there was no blue. A girl will be a change at our house. The boys are excited, they think she'll clean! 

CALVING

One of my favorite times of the year is when we are calving. I think the babies are so cute. Dusty doesn't love it so much because he runs his guts out. But as a spectator, I really like it!
