Our up and coming BMX star.

This last weekend our ward had a Primary Talent Show. We knew about this talent show for weeks and Rylan and I couldn't decide what he should do for his talent. Then last week when Rylan was riding his bike in the nice spring weather, the idea came to me that he should ride his bike. Rylan likes to do tricks on his bike. This video is him doing his tricks at the talent show. He came up with all these tricks on his own. He had no help from me or Luke. I was worried that he was going to get nervous and not perform but he loved it and wanted to keep on going until I told him that maybe he had done enough. I thought he was kind of cute and thought you might enjoy it. Don't mind the video footage, it is not the greatest.

It's another boy!

Yes, Most of you already know that we are having our third boy. Ah! What am I going to do? I must be honest and say that I was a little disappointed but have come to terms with it. It will be fun for Mason to have a brother who will be close in age with him. I won't have to buy any new clothes and I won't have to change the nursery. Luke is pretty excited that he is rapidly growing his basketball team and his four-wheeling/camping buddies. Wish Me Luck!

I have an awesome friend who has a really great mommy blog called supermom central. She writes daily on array of mommy topics from art/craft projects to do with your little ones to keeping your kids safe and healthy, or informing the readers on the current baby fashions. I have gone to her blog several times to get creative activities to do with my boys. Right now she is having a giveway for a Bumbleride Stroller. The post tells you all that you need to do to enter the drawing. Pretty Easy. Check It Out.

The kitchen

My Brother Ed got us a killer deal at the Four Seasons Resort in Carlsbad, California (just outside of San Diego.) This place was incredible. We almost felt uncomfortable staying there, like we didn't belong at all. The kids had there very own suite with a king bed, couch, table, balcony, bathroom. Then there was a family room connected to the kitchen and dining room as you can see from the pictures. Luke and I's room was down the hall and included a master bathroom with a huge tub and separate shower. The place was decorated to the hilt. When we went to the pool someone would come up to us and ask us if we wanted them to set up our chairs. They would place a large fitted towel on the lounger and equip us with several other towels. We didn't want to come home.

We took the kids to Lego Land and Sea World.

Sea World was

fun, the kids loved seeing Shamu and the other animals. They had a whole new Sesame Street Section, that had Sesame Street rides and a huge play land with bridges and climbing ropes.

Lego Land wasn't so much fun. I don't recommend it. The rides were pretty dumb. It was like all of the rides that you get at Lagoon's kiddie land with the exception of a two rollercoasters. I was also pretty upset that they wouldn't let Mason go on any rides. They are really strict on the Height requirement.

We had fun just hanging out. Going to the pool and hot tub. Watching movies at night. Sleeping in, and taking many naps.

I want to go back.

Exciting News!!

Sleeping Better!

I am happy to report that for the past four nights, I have been sleeping better. A good nights sleep is something that I took for granted. Those four nights that I couldn't get to sleep were pure misery and I know that it was totally a mental thing. I would start to drift off to sleep and then I would wake myself back up because I was thinking about how I was going to sleep. Sounds weird I know. I had to watch TV or listen to a book on my ipod so that I wouldn't think about going to sleep and so I would think about something different. But now I am back to my normal sleeping self. YEAH!!

Can't Sleep

So It is 1:30 in the morning and I writing this post because for the past couple of days I have had trouble falling asleep. I have had like 6 hours of sleep in the past two days. I know it is because I get so worked up and anxious that I am not going to fall asleep that I don't. I even took a unisom tonight. I feel tired but I can't sleep.
Does any one have some tips for me to help me get to sleep. I need some help!
