*~Happy Birthday Kiel~*
This morning Kiel got up to the smell of warm cinnamon rolls. I had packed for him 4 Warm cinnamon rolls and in the frig was a brown sack (that was decorated with blue glitter, Happy Birthday) filled with an orange juice, grapes, a little box of valentines' candy, red bull and napkins. Oh and of course a cute card!! Kiel shares his birthday with his niece Cori who is turning 5 today... so later we'll all meet at Peter Piper Pizza for her Birthday "celebration" and after everyone and more friends will meet at our place to watch the UFC fight tonight!! With Kiel I try to make his favorites on his birthday... so right now I'm baking Banana muffins for him.. I love the way they make the house smell!! Well I hope he has a great day!! We love him so much!!
Connor has been so cute lately... he goes over and the shoes that are left in the kitchen he puts them on... usually the correct shoe on the right foot and tries to walk around!! (Not in this picture...) Tonight it was my shoes but he loves Kiel's big skater shoes! Even though at times he can be a trouble maker... he keeps me laughing and smiling most of the day! Oh.. Connor:)
On Tuesday mornings I've started attending an institute class with a good friend of mine. So far I've really enjoyed the class and it keeps me motivated to read my scriptures and study each day. Last Tuesday we were talking about President Uchtdorf's talk on Hope and somehow the question was brought up... If you could title the chapter of your life right now, what would it be? I quietly said to my girlfriend, "What was a I thinking." But after listening to others and thinking about it. I raised my hand and I said, "You don't have it all figured out." I explained that Kiel and I had talked about our future and how maybe 2 little ones would complete our family and we would be okay with that. But last Sunday I had the amazing experience to go with Kiel while he recieved his patriarchal blessing. It was such a spiritual awakening to me that only Heavenly Father knows our future and our abilities. But in his blessing, Kiel was blessed with "sons and daughters". It was said twice... I was immediatly scared but then overcome with the spirit that I didn't need to have it all figured out right now.. We don't need to start looking for a bigger house right now... It was just a reassuring feeling that it will all come in time. My parents have said that to me so many times that I just use their voices in my head to reconfirm that to myself. Even though having this 2nd baby at times scares me to death that I can't even talk or think about it. I know everything will be ok and I can handle whatever spirit my Heavenly Father brings to me. Even though Connor has been our "Million Dollar Baby" he's been so easy. We are extremely blessed to have him in our lives. Whatever happens I know I have Kiel and my family on my side! So we will continue to plan for our future leaving out of course the annual hospital trips and Kiel's truck/trailer blowouts but we for sure know that we can't predict the future.
Last night Connor and I met up with Michelle and her 4 kiddies and Theresa/Mark at a local small carnival. I forgot to grab my camera but I took this pic with my phone... Connor had so much fun riding all the little rides! In the picture he's sitting next to Cori who is holding him tight because I told her not to let him stand up. He loved it!! He waved and clapped! 
A little later that cute little Cori convinced me to ride the ferris wheel with her! I was seriously more nervous about it than she was.. I was comforted by a 4 year old... As we stopped at the very top of the ferris wheel she said, "Michelle, don't worry I won't move or wiggle at all!" she loved it. It was a fun night.. Connor came home and completely crashed!! A good night!
I am officially pregnant. I had my first OBGYN appointment on Wednesday... very fun stuff... but I am 9weeks and 4days pregnant today. They gave me a due date of August 11th.. Boo!! But They'll deliver the baby a couple weeks before that!! Horray to C-sections!! I hate not knowing when major things like that are going to happen. It'll be nice to get that on my schedule! I don't do well with Stress.. Thanks Hayley for telling me about Dr. Doswell.. Love him... he's been amazing already. He understands and actually listened to all my past drama with Connor and all my worries about having another little one. We are really hoping for a little girl.. due to my morning sickness and throwing up (which I didn't do with Connor) we think it might be.. then we'll probably be done with producing more babies!! Anyways.. thought I would share!!
**Oh by the way.. Kiel is definatly going along with letting me find out the sex of the baby!! WooHoo**
