Dear Blog

Dear Blog,
I'm so so so sorry I haven't been around!  It's been over a week since I posted last... it's been REALLY busy around here this past week!  I hate being cut off from you and unable to have our daily visits!  But now I'm back and don't see anything coming up on the calendar in the near future, that should separate us again! :)

Highlights from the week:  (And a Fridayfunny since I missed that too!!  :( sniff...)

1. I played the role as "mom of 5" this week!

My Aunt and Uncle decided to go on a cruise this week...and asked if Ryan and I would come stay at their house with their kids!  They don't go away very often, so it was so fun to do this for them!  Not to mention that their kids are AWESOME!!  They are SOOO good!  They are helpful and happy and they help take care of eachother as well!  And Kamryn LOVED being with them!

2. Playing outside.  Kamryn experienced her first jumps on a trampoline! She was hesitant at first, but quickly got the hang of it!

She still LOVES slides, though!  (too bad it is so so cold!)

3. Kamryn loves the dog!
Everyday, the kids would all go to school from 8-4ish, so Kamryn and I just hung out at home mostly.  They have a dog named Missy, who was home with us.  Missy is very good with all the kids and she is pretty laid back.  She lays around the house most of the day.  Kamryn would be playing with some toys and then get up just to go pet Missy, then clap her hands "proud of herself" and then go back to whatever she was doing!  Kamryn also quickly figured out where the doggy treats were and she wanted to feed them to Missy at any opportunity she had! :)  Funny girl!

4. Kamryn with 2 bibs!  (I don't really know how to explain this one...) :)

 

5. Kamryn "helping" Daddy with the Wii Fit!
Ryan and I have been talking about getting a Wii Fit for a bit, so we were excited when we saw that my cousins had one we could play with all week!  (We are now in the market for one because we liked it so much!) :)

Kamryn likes playing it too...with Daddy! :)  (Ryan doesn't mind a challenge!)


6. Fridayfunny!  Kamryn exploring a new bathroom... then brought us what she found! :)

7. And My belly is growing and growing every day!  The books say our little guy is now 3.2 lbs and 17 inches long!  Can't believe he'll double in size in the next 9 weeks!  :)

We survived a fun fun fun week!  I liked having a "project" outside of our normal day to day things to keep me busy and occupied enough to not think about being pregnant too much! :)  

Hmm...what should my next project be? ... that of course, won't keep me away from you?! 

We shall see!

Love,

Katrina

Wonderful weekend!

Saturday night Ryan and I went out on a date and it was WONDERFUL!

We met up with Ryan's parents at IHOP for dinner.  I was excited about their deal right now for all you can eat pancakes!  And then we found out that Kamryn could get a kids meal for free with an adult entree' purchase!  Even better!  It was a great meal for not very much money! :)

Then we took Kamryn to my sister, Krista, who willingly offered to babysit!  What a great sister I have!  She babysat while Ryan and I ran down to Provo to play games with Kelsey and Zac.  It was fun to be out and with another couple, on a date night, without Kamryn!  I love Kamryn...I do!  But I don't always get time away from her that I think I really need.  And not just because she is always demanding...but it felt SOOOOO good to just not even have to worry about her or have her and what she is doing in the back of my mind! :) (although, I will admit that I did call home and check on Krista and how it was going, a couple of times!) :) lol  We were out late but it was so much fun!  Thank you, Ryan, for our awesome date! :)

Sunday was my Dad's birthday.  We went up to their house for dinner and cake and ice cream.  Then we drove up to Salt Lake County because this week we are staying at my Aunt and Uncle's house to take care of their kids.  They don't travel much by themselves, but decided to go on a Mexico cruise this week (I'm so excited for them!) and we get to stay with their FABULOUS and CUTE cute kids!  It's going to be a fun week!

Anyway, sorry I don't have pictures or anything...just wanted to do a quick update on the weekend!
