Realization

When Ty was little he was given the nick name "Ty Bear" because he was so chubby and big. I assumed that this is what they meant by big and chubby. His parents informed me however that as chubby as Hope was she still wasn't as big as her daddy was. I have to admit that I am afraid of being on the news here in a couple of weeks for being the first white women to deliver an 18 pound baby!

Update sort of

My life right now consists of every article of clothing being made of a stretchy material and I walk like a have a watermelon between my legs. I have a friend that is due just 4 days after me with her 3rd as well. At the beginning of this pregnancy she mentioned that her thoughtful husband made the comment that he thought this pregnancy was going to be the "body breaker" I didn't know that he was talking about me. My friend still looks great, she carries her babies high and doesn't have a single stretch mark. I on the other hand have felt ready to deliver for about 3 months now. I am afraid that his head is going to come out totally jacked up from being in the birth canal since 20 weeks. My pregnancy with the girls was a breeze! I never felt like this with them not even right before delivery. I have waddled for ever and I swear my hips are so jacked up I need to wear one flat shoe and one shoe that is atleast 2 inches taller. I weigh a pound more now then I did at delivery with both of them and I still have 9 weeks to go. My little sister and my sis in law had their babies about 3 weeks ago on the same day both darling healthy little boys. I have to admit that I thought I would feel very sad for myself but I really am not ready for him to come out yet. I am ready to be able to bend over and sleep without having to wake up every time I need to roll this body over. (I need one of those handles that hang from the ceiling like you see in the hospital that would really be helpful.)

I have to say that I am grateful that I can have babies. It is an amazing experience it has just never felt like this big of a sacrifice before. I am very excited to have this baby in the spring instead of the cold winter like my girls.

What the Freak to make for dinner?

I have had droughts where I don't know what to make for dinner, but this drought is not letting up. Perhaps it is being pregnant. If anyone would like to share a recipe or two or even what there favorite cook book is I would appreciate it so very much. Thank you:)

The next Lewis child is?

A baby Boy!!! Sydney was so excited to find out that it was another sister. She has been adament the whole time that is was going to be a girl. So when I sat her down and explained to her that she was going to have a baby brother her very excited face melted very quickly into sobs. She explained to me that boys aren't pretty. I told her that he could be a prince and that she could help name him. For whatever reason that did the trick and she has been happy about him coming ever since.

Happy Halloween

We were trying to decide if the costumes from last year were maybe still going to work for this year. I know kind of sad but I am pregnant and very much in to doing as little as possible. Any way this was Hope's from last year and Syd had to try it on. I was laughing so hard so thought I would share.

Cute fairy wings I was debating on trying to work with.

This was at the AF Highschool the night before. It was seriously lame (thanks Adam and Julie) The girls still had a lot of fun.

Hope at the Highschool.

Our first stop on Halloween was to our ward trunk or treat. It was the most beautiful weather I think I have ever seen on Halloween. This is the girls having to squint from the sun!

Just a couple of cute kids.

I am realizing that I didn't really get any great pics of Syd's costume. She and her best friend Tu Tu were butterflies.

This is Hope on the way to our next stop. My parents trunk or treat up in Alpine. She could not eat her candy fast enough.

The girls up in Alpine. This was a short lived trunk or treat. Notice Hope decided to take care of Sydney's Halloween bag. Syd didn't really even go up to anyone's trunk but you can bet that Hope did. It is so funny how fast they pick up on the Halloween get free candy concept.

Our final stop was our favorite Halloween Stop. Nana's!

This was one of our friends daughters. Her costume is my absolute favorite, I don't think it will ever be beat.

Hope and Syd were so excited to see cousin Chloe. I am sad that I don't have more pictures of Nana's. There was so much yummy food to eat. Hot chili along with a yummy pasta dish, doughnuts, caramel apples, soda, and lot's of yummy candy. This might be one of the reasons it is my favorite stop, and probably why I didn't really take any pictures. I was too busy eating.

At the end of the night Syd's tutu was driving her nuts, so cousin chloe gladly took it off her hands. Apparently she has worn it everyday since. It was a really fun Halloween. Hope all of yours was just as fun!

More Summertime Fun

Nothing better then playing with Charlie and eating corn dogs ymmmmmm.

Classic mascara picture

Sydney took swim lessons a couple of months ago and Hope decided that on this day she was not going to be left behind, so she got her swim stuff on all by herself.

Chloe stayed at our house from Fri to Sat and didn't know that Sat. was cougar day! Her facial expression is awesome. "Tell me again why I am wearing this?"

The best little friends in the whole world.

For swim lessons Syd was terrified to blow bubbles in the water so I thought we would start smaller. This is Hope laughing at her because she can't do it. Just kidding I have no idea what Hope is laughing at and she probably doesn't either.

I was very proud of Syd, she was able to blow bubbles in the pool after this small exercise in bravery.

Hope loves black licorice.

Can I have some more?

One day we were a little bored so we decided that it was Charlie's birthday. We made him a delicious cake that I didn't really plan on him eating, but Syd certainly planned on him eating it.

This is how we look everyday:)

Tyson counting down the days until the football season started, took the girls up to see the cougar and bought them the t-shirts they were wearing in the previous photo.

Hope put her shirt on all by herself

Our fun neighbors had some baby cows they had to feed twice a day so we got to go along one time. Syd was in heaven. Nothing like feeding cows in your princess dress.

Summertime!

Oh the blog. I have so many pictures from this summer that I thought I would just try to condense and give a summer overview.

We enjoyed a lot of sun!

Purchased some new fun scooters.

This is a common outfit for Syd these days.

Some days we got a little bored.

Had a wonderful 4th of July. We went to the Freedom Parade. Not sure why but that is what we did:)

"I thought you said they were going to throw candy at us."

Lot's of yummy food at a BBQ later that evening up Payson canyon with family and friends.

Syd and her essentials for the parade.

This summer Syd decided that she didn't my help getting dressed anymore, that has sure been a fun thing.

A lot of lawn mowing by our studly daddy:)

Can I please have another otterpop?

This is our Dog King Lewis or Lewy that we had for 3 days. I paid $400.00 for him and then sold him back to the same family I bought him for for $200.00. I am a very good business women.

We have had a really safe fun summer, hope all of you had the same.
