Alright, my camera is missing it's charger, but I have ordered a new one, so I should get back to posting soon. I did want to clarify that I did not make those cookies that said "I'm Pregnant"... haha I just found the photo online and assumed everybody would know that I could not produce cookies that were that pretty. I'd like to take the credit... but I can't! haha but thank you to those of you who assumed I had, it made me feel good! haha

Also, I just quickly wanted to ask what is up with this morning? Both of my children are having like a whining festival! Neither are totally unhappy, but both are fairly constantly whining! This needs to stop ASAP or I may start whining too... like I just did on my blog... haha

Pre/Post Canada

So, a few people have caught on now, but not many that I know of! So I'll just come out and say it! We are (unexpectedly) expecting again! We are just over 2 months along with our 3rd baby! I found out a couple of days before I left with the kids for Canada, and told Jeremy the day before we left. We were both mostly in shock at first, but I am getting more excited now, and I'm grateful that it happened on it's own and so easily. A lot of young mom's I know have a hard time getting/staying/having healthy pregnancies, and the more I heard the more grateful I was that, although not totally prepared/planned, we are having another baby!

I am feeling a little bit of girl feelings, but we'd like a boy to be close to Mason. Either way I will be so excited and can't wait to find out so I can get busy on new baby things! I haven't been as sick as I was with the first two, which is a huge blessing, but on the down side, the thing that helps me to feel less nauseous is eating, so unlike the first two, I have gained a little weight already (only like 2/3 lbs, but man I sure feel like I'm sticking out more and my pants aren't fitting like I'd like them to!), but I think I'll take that over daily barfing!

It doesn't help that both of my parents agreed before I was even two months that I was "showing" (love you guys anyways! haha) and that I told a friend when I got home (while I was wearing a very loose fitting dress) and she said "I was going to ask, but then I thought you just ate a ton while you were in Canada". NEedless to say loose clothes are my friend right now and in the future I'd like to avoid comments like that until I'm fairly obviously showing.. haha

We are due March 12th -ish... any buddies out there that need to announce? ;)

Canada Conclusion

I need to finish off about our trip so I can move on to other things! I was just going to forget about it, but who likes unfinished endings! So here are a few more pictures and info about our trip!

Mason boy sure loves the camera! He was always bringing me the camera and saying "Cheese!" until I took about 10 pictures.. who can resist a face like this!

Brenna got to go fishing with Grandpa which she had been talking about for days and days leading up to our trip! A big thank you to Grandpa for taking the time out to do this... even though we didn't get any bites, and Brenna did have to pee of the side of the boat once... haha it was fun, and she was excited to go!

We went to Calaway Park one day which is an amusement park in Calgary. It was seriously the best day of Brenna's life. I was feeling really queasy and had thrown up in the car on the way there (migraine, motion sickness... and possibly another reason for throwing up in the morning.... we'll see who actually reads every word now! haha) so my awesome sisters took the kids on rides all day! Brenna was having so much fun and Mason had fun too, although he only really loved one ride...
This one! He could not get enough of this ride! It was so funny, when he passed us we would wave and he would start bouncing up and down in his seat like crazy and steering the wheel and giggling. It was too much fun to watch!

My sister rescued some bunnies who were abandoned (at least she was pretty sure they were.. haha) and they were so stinkin cute! The kids couldn't get enough of them, but we had to limit their time with them since the bunnies were so young and scared easily! There were two.. I just realized Mason's bunny wasn't in this picture.

So a sad thing did happen during our family reunion... well first, our family reunion was so much fun! We loved every minute of family and eating and games and fun. It was so nice to spend so much time with loved ones that I don't get to see often anymore. Some highlights were: all of the food, the Minute to Win it competition (which my team won! Go blue!), of coarse the talent show, and church on Sunday.. especially my talk. haha Just kidding about the last one.. but I did give a talk and I blubbered through the whole thing! I was surprised, but couldn't help it at all! Women! haha

Ok, so Sunday evening we had a sort of family fireside, it was a little later in the evening, and my kids were past ready for bed, so Jeremy took them out. Just before the end, there is a thud, and then Mason's piercing scream... not just a normal one.. I ran out and Mason had tripped and fell, but he hit his forehead on the edge of the metal window sill... poor boy. He had a scrape across his forehead that was bleeding a bit, and an instant goose egg and bruise... it took me a long time to calm him down! But it wasn't serious and he was fine and it healed really fast. It did scare his mommy though! I forgot to take a picture until a couple of days later, so the above picture is the best I have, and the below is another Mason photo shoot!

This is my wonderful family as we're leaving our fun-filled week in Fairmont. We really had a good time playing outside, tennis, swimming, golfing, ultimate frisbee and park playing were basically our week!

This is our drive through the mountains on the way home... it was breathtaking, but my pictures sort of stunk!

And lastly, a picture of our best efforts to keep Mason's head from bobbing during his nap while we were driving... it lasted like 30 seconds, but he looked cozy for those seconds!
