Stupid Computers!!

Okay, I have been trying to upload some pictures for the last hour and it isn't working. Stupid computers! And stupid Windows Vista! Oh well, just know that SOMETIME in the near future I will hopefully get our cute November pictures up!

To Answer a Question.......

So...for the past 6 months or so I have found that I am asked the same question over and over again -- "Hannah is getting big, when is the next baby coming?!"

I am usually weary of asking people questions like this because you never know who may actually be trying to get pregnant or who is having issues in this regard.  

I am not bothered when people tease me about it.  I think it is just the Mormon culture we live in to assume that when a child reaches a year or more you can expect an announcement of another baby to arrive.

So....to answer a question that EVERYONE seems to be asking ----  YES - we are pregnant! 

 It's funny how everyone guesses things before you say something.  When we told our families we were pregnant I swear no one was shocked.  Most people we have told were expecting this announcement from us.  How funny, I guess we are very predictable.

So to answer some more questions...

1.  We are due May 18th.

2.  Hannah will be 2 years and 2 months when the next baby is born.

3.  We would love to have a boy, but we would also love to have a girl.  We really just want a healthy baby!

4.  Yes, we are super excited to welcome another child into our home!

Halloween 2008!

Can you believe it??  I am blogging again in just a matter of days!  Go me!

Ta da....here we have Hannah in her cute costume!!  She really liked getting dressed up, except for the wig.  Thanks again to our neighbor, Becca, who made the costume!

We took Hannah into my Mom's work to do a little trick or treating and she was a big fan.  I honestly think Hannah has had more candy in the last few days then she has had in her entire life!

Here is our treat spread for the evening.  We have a tradition of making homemade rootbeer and cookies.  Gotta love that!

 Hannah held her own pretty well when it came to trick-or-treating.  She walked a few streets on her own while the other kids her age were in strollers.  

This is Hannah and her counter part, Caleb.  Super cute!

Bad Blogger!!!

So, I have officially been a horrible blogger.  I have also been a horrible blog checker.  But I really am going to try and be better.  Everyone has such cute posts and fun things on their blogs, it inspires me to be better.  I really am not an artsy person.  For example, I hate scrap booking - which I must state reminds me of blogging in a way.  I am not saying I hate blogging, just that I enjoy taking a walk or reading a book better.  BUT I am going to be better!  Just you wait!

Here is  a taste of the things we have been up to the past few months:

The Garden..

Things went quite well for our first year at gardening.  We had more than enough Zucchini to share.  The green peppers were good.  Our tomatoes were REALLY small.  The rest of the things we planted didn't really turn out as we are pretty sure we didn't water enough.  Better luck next year!!

Keven's Projects.....

Keven is a superman!  Here is our new kitchen floor done by the creative Keven.  Also, the bread you see down below is Keven's latest hobby.  Sometimes his cooking skills really put me to shame.  But I am okay to admit that cooking is probably not one of my strong points.

Our Cute Hannah Banana...

What can we say, Hannah is so cute!  She is constantly making us laugh and surprising us with her expounding knowledge.  She can say anything!  Lately I have been able to get her to smile at the camera too!

Happy Halloween!!!!

Happy Halloween to everyone!  We are super excited to take Hannah treat-or-tricking!  I will post pictures of her cute costume soon - thanks to Becca!  And don't be shocked, I will probably post tomorrow or in the next few days so get excited!!

Picture-less

***The following message from Cary has a correction by Keven-the editor in chief***

It is a rare occurrence that a post needs correction, but that speaks to it's importance.  Be it known that Cary's camera is not in Keven's car but in Cary's car.  Cary will verify this fact with all who care to investigate the facts.  Thank you-  Keven (Editor-in-Chief)

I have been trying to remember to get our camera from the place that eats things:  that would be Keven's car.  Whenever an item goes in there I may not see it for a long time, and that is my story for this picture-less post.  I keep forgetting to get the camera from Keven so I can update our last couple of weeks.  So, here are some highlights without lovely pictures.

**Hannah was found ringing her fleece pants in the toilet.

**Dinner with the Romney's.  Yahoo for the never-ending pasta bowl at the Olive Garden!

**Hannah tells us that EVERYTHING is loud.  

**The Canyon Rim GNO was great!  

**Ward Volleyball - love it, love it!

**Keven finishing our kitchen floor!  

**Hannah asks me to sing all throughout the day.

**Cookie making with Grandma, aunts, and cousins.

**Hannah got tackled by our neighbor, Mitchell.  It was hilarious!

**The General Relief Society Meeting.

**Hannah saying "Hi Mommy" and "Love you Daddy".

Hannah's Fashion Tips

Lately Hannah has been super into dressing herself.  She continually pulls her clothes out of her dresser and tries to put them on.  It is now typical throughout the day to hear Hannah yell out in frustration and come into her room to find her tangled up in a shirt or struggling to put Keven's socks on.  

I thought I would give you some of the fashion statements that Hannah is pursuing quite frequently these days!

I took this a few weeks ago and had to post it because I think it is so cute!  I can never get Hannah to hold still for the camera so pictures with her smiling and looking at the camera are rare and few.

This is Keven as he is working on a little kitchen project of laying new tile.  I am hoping that this little project is done before the Canyon Rim GNO!  Hopefully giving Keven a deadline will encourage a timely finish! 

Here is another catch-up post with the latest of our activities!

We spent Labor Day weekend with the Wall Family at Payson Lake.  We had a great time, but have found that camping with kids makes you super dirty!  Hannah loved playing in the dirt, I think that really was the favorite activity for her and all the cousins!  Here is Hannah in the stroller with cousin Madison.  

Cousin Kaden was super nice to share his ball and play with Hannah.

Can you see the dirt???  It seemed the kids just rolled in the dirt!

Cute Madison!

What a super cute family!!

Grandma and Grandpa Wall

This is the parents attempt to get a picture of all the little cousins.  It was pretty funny trying to get them to hold still and look our direction for a simple picture.

Hannah and Lily playing ring around the rosies!

WELCOME TO ELLENIE MAE LESKO!!!!  She was born 5 weeks early, weighing in at 5lbs and 110zs.  Elle is a super trooper, as are her proud family - Sean, Jamie, and Maleia.  What a crazy surprise that has definitely had some ups and downs. But baby Elle is now at home and doing great!

We were able to go to Wheeler Farm with Whitney and the cousins.  I took Hannah and Maleia to see the cows and they were not big fans.  A certain cow kept mooing at them as loud as he could and they both cried.

Maleia was able to play at our house for a few days last week while Mommy was with Baby Elle.  They are such funny playmates.

And here are some family pictures from a bridal shower for my cousin, Kaydrielle.  Here are Mom, Kelly, and Aunt Cindy.

Kaydrielle, the beautiful bride!

Erin, Stacy, Baby Liliana, and Aunt Gloria

And finally, Keven and I recently celebrated our 3rd anniversary!  Crazy, it seems like we have been married forever!  Keven makes fun of me when I say this because he thinks I mean being married to him has been too much work, but that is far from the case!  It just seems so natural to be married and I have a hard time remembering differently!  Yahoo for 3 years and many more great ones to come!

We were able to make a quick getaway trip to St. George for the weekend where we also saw Les Mis at Tuacahn Ampitheater.  It was incredible!!!

Little addition by Keven:  If anybody hasn't seen Les Miserables, (or has seen it somewhere else) it is worth the trip to St. George to see it amidst the red rocks.  Besides, they did an awesome job!  I want to go back...the only bad part about the whole trip was a blocked extra point...
