Trying

Hello everyone in the blog world. Long time no chat. A lot has been happening in my life and so i will try to keep it short. we had our baby girl on Jan. 4, right on schedule. everything went great and she is a joy. We named her Kaedence Bell Springer.
I quit my job with Zions Bank and have started cleaning house, so if you know anyone who is interested please let me know. Matt is working as a supervisor of the census. He works night so it has been an ajustment to have him gone all the time.
Brooklin is 5 now and is just so big and such a helper!!! She is in swim lessons and loves being the big sister. I can't believe she will be in Kindergarten this fall. where does the time go. My baby will be 6 months on Sunday. Wow!!! Here are some picutres of us on Father's Day at Snowbird. What a fun day. I am going to do my best to blog more often this summer.

31 weeks

I thought that I would post a belly shot. so here it is. about 60 days until you get to meet the newest member of our family and we are really excited! No we do not have a name for her yet but we have decided that her middle name will be Bell after Matt's grandmother. So if anyone wants to throw some names our way we are taking suggestions.


I really don't feel as big as the picture makes me look. I think that the lighting is all wrong *wink*. But this pregnancy has been very different from Brooklin's. Everyone tells you at every pregnancy is different and they are not lying! Not that I thought they were, however, I didn't really understand what they meant. I have been tired, sick, and hurting at different times this whole pregnancy. Nothing like the first. So I am really excited to have her here. I am after however that she is going to try to come right around Christmas so that I will have to be in the hospital Christmas Day. Which wouls really suck because Brooklin can't come in the hospital to see me. But I wont start that soap box. Any ways, this pregnancy has really gone by fast!

Halloween!!!

OK so here are some pictures of Halloween. Brooklin had a blast as a Southern Bell. Matt and I had a great idea to dress up as old people. I think it turned out really good. Brooklin really understood Halloween this year and we had alot of fun with the whole holiday.

State Fair

For the 3rd year we went to the State Fair this last Thursdays. We had a lot of fun! Brooklin loves the rides and this year wanted her Dad to go on them with her. She did Lil' DiamondsGlass House by herself and only ran into the walls a few times. Matt and I were laughing so hard!! I took a picture of her red forehead and cheek for the memories. She sure does make me laugh. She even got to go on the bungee tramp thing and was laughing the whole time. I can't believe how big my little girl is getting. Here is the video of her on the bungee tramp.

First day of Preschool

Well I'm a running about a week late, but better late then never. Our little girl is a big preschooler! She start at Jacque's Preschool last week and really seems to enjoy it. She go 3 days a week, Mondays, Tuesday, and Thursdays for 2 1/2 hours. I love it, because I am able to get some things done around the house. It's great! Also on Wednesdays she goes to The Little Gym to a gymnastic class for an hour. Already I have seen her grow and a little bit of an attitude cjange for the better. Here are some fun pictures of her on her first day and at gymnastic class.

Thanksgiving Point Farm

Stacy and I took the girls to the farm at Thanksgiving Point last Tuesday. Note to all, DO NOT GO ON A TUESDAY !!! They are doing $2 Tuesdays throughout the summer and people are flocking. We had a good time though, here are some pictures from our outing.

19 weeks

Wow, time flies! I can't believe that I am in the second trimester of this pregancy, that's over 4 months that I have been pregant! I'm almost half way there. It's scarey to think that there is going to be another person to take care of, another person teach things to, another person to love. That is one thing I am looking foward to is the love that each child brings to a family and the instant love that you have for that child. It's exciting and new all over again. At times I am over whelmed with the thought of another child. Starting over again. The feedings, diapers, bottles, crying. I wonder is this baby going to be as easy and good as Brooklin was, is this the one that my mom "cursed" me with. Can I do this?? I know I can.. I am a strong women and being a mom is something that I have aways wanted to be, something I dreamed about for as long as I can remember. This new chapter in my life is scarey, but exciting and fun at the same time..
