Zane is all ready for Kindergarten!

Last week I took Zane to his Kindergarten doctor visit. I didn't tell him about it until about an hour before we went so he wouldn't be freaking out about all day. When I told him, I thought he'd ask if he needed shots. But instead he asked if they were going to swab his throat! He ahtes when they have to that! Thankfully, I didn't have to lie and told him no. He was so excited to have a little date with me. It was kinda breaking my heart though because he didn't know about the shots and I didn't want to tell him until we were there. They checked his weight and height, 42 inches tall, 42 pounds. Perfect. Eyes, good. He cried when they had to poke his finger to check his iron. The Doctor came in and did the physical exam. Great. Then I had to break the news to Zane that he needed to get 4 shots. He started bawling. I tried to get his mind off of it, but it didn't work. When the nurse came in and we tried to get his pants off, he freaked out. Then he said, right before she was about to do the first shot, "wait a minute! Wait a minute! I have to tell you something! I need to go to the bathroom!" He was trying to get out of it, but he'd just gone to the bathroom. Poor kid. So she hurried and did all 4 in less than 10 seconds and he was done! He got a bag full of goodies then I took him to get an ice cream cone. I was so glad to have that done. Phew!

Then yesterday we got him registered at the school. It's so weird to think that in September, we'll have a 1st grader, Kindergartener, Preschooler and a new baby! What an exciting year!!!!

6th Picture Tag

I suck at following through with tags, but this one was easy. I had to go to my 6th folder and pick the 6th picture. Here it is. Me and Gavin at Laguna Beach. This is when he had his curls before we shaved them off. Cute little stink! Feel free to do this tag if you'd like!

My week in review

Last Monday Dan headed off to Colorado for work. No big deal, except the morning he left I woke up with a burning in my chest like I was getting sick. Dan had a cold and cough the week before and Lindsay had gotten it too, so I was guess it was my turn. On Tuesday, I woke up to go teach dance and I didn't have a voice. I went anyway and after dance I started getting achy and cold. By Tuesday night, my nose was stuffy and I was coughing. I didn't sleep well that night and when I woke up Wednesday, still very achy and cold. I decided to drink some apple juice, then drank a cup a of water with some medicine to take the aches. Within one minute I was in the bathroom throwing up (the first time in this pregnancy). I felt like crap and was supposed to go teach dance again. I just couldn't do it. My mother-in-law came and got all 3 of my kids (Lindsay was staying home from school all week because she was still coughing) and took them to her house all day! Thanks Ma! It helped a ton so I could just rest. I was starting to feel better on Thursday and Dan got home that night. What a relief to have him home.

On Friday, my cute cousin, Katie, married Robby in the Salt Lake temple. They are such a cute, crazy couple. The day was really nice. I was feeling a lot better too. They had their reception at in a little building at the Gallivan Center. It was beautiful.

My other cousin, Emily (Katie's sister) caught the bouquet and her boyfriend, Randy, caught the garter. They were so excited!

This was taken outside the temple. Here's 6 of the 7 girls in my family (Amy will be home from her mission in April!). Jenny and Missy are on the end pretending to be sad they are not pregnant. Us 4 in the middle are the preggers. We are in order of when we're due. Laurel is due April 2nd, Heidi is due April 12th, Karen is due April 23rd and I'm due June 5th. April is going to be a CRAZY month for our family.

My sister Jenny, her hubby Ben and their son, Carter came from Arizona for the wedding so on Saturday, me, Karen, Jenny, Beans (aka Melissa Smith) and her sissy, Shauna, went to breakfast and to see the movie "He's Just Not That Into You". We loved the movie. It was very entertaining and true to life. We laughed a lot when they talked about drive-by's past guys houses that we liked, etc...

The kids with Carter

When I woke up on Saturday before going to the movie, my cough had gotten worse and it hurt really bad when I coughed. It also tasted a little like blood when I coughed (I know, gross!). After the movie, we hung out at my mom's to spend time with Jenny and Ben before they went back to AZ. I started getting really achy and cold. I got a sudden fever and noticed I was having a hard time breathing. After a couple of hours, Dan took me to Instacare where they said I had Pneumonia. What the heck! So I've been on an antibiotic all week and I'm feeling so much better! I rested for 2 days and my mom brought dinner on Monday for us. Thanks Mom! I'm just glad I'm feeling better.

Love is in the air

Last week Zane came home from Preschool and he kept walking around sighing really loudly and rolling his eyes around. I finally asked him why he was doing that and here's what he said:
Z-"I'm in love"
M-"You are? With who?"
Z-"Annie, at school."
M-"You are huh?"
Z-"Yes and there's something I have to tell you that's kinda weird." He got all shy.
M-"What?"
Z-"I told her I loved her and she said she loved me too." He had the cutest smile on his face.
Z-"Then there's something else that's kinda weird but I don't want to tell you."
M-"Just tell me in my ear then."
Z-"She kissed me!" He whispered it.
M-"She did!!!! Where?"
Z-"At school!"
M-"No, where? On the lips or cheek?"
Z-"Right here." He pointed to his cheek.
PHEW! It was very cute the way he told me. Then we got in the car and Lindsay was in the back seat with 50 questions like "Did she kiss you during playtime?" "Did she do it then so no one would hear?" "What's her last name?" It was hilarious! So our 4 year old is in love. He picked her Valentine out special and even wrote her name on it. I'm not worried he's growing up too fast. I think it's pretty dang sweet!

Gavin-ism

Last night after we had put Gavin to bed, we were reading scriptures with Lindsay and Zane. Gavin kept calling me back into his room for any reason he could think of. Finally I told him I was not coming back in anymore and to go to sleep. Within a couple of minutes, he was calling me again. I just ignored him at first, then I yelled, "What do you need?" Then he said, "open my door," which it was already open a little. He kept telling for me to open his door and I just kept ignoring him, then he got mad and started yelling, "Mom! Open my DANG door!" We almost died from laughter. Then after a few times of yelling that, he heard us laughing and kept doing it to be funny. This kid sure knows how to keep us in stitches!
