Maternity photoshoot by www.heatherarmstrongphotography.com

Here are the pics that I had done back in February. Heather Armstrong is an amazingly gifted photographer who mentioned to me on www.beenup2.com that she'd love to do a photo shoot of me. A month later I was in Redding having pictures taken and the outcome was amazing. Heather can make anyone look like a movie star. Thanks Heather!

Jaron is our songwriter

I love my little guy Jaron! He is such a crack up! When I was pregnant with Jaron I really felt that Jaron was going to be our little songwriter. He has always been fascinated with instruments and music and loves to shout with joy (which is actually what his name means). He is always playing with guitars, begging me to play my guitar, watching people play their guitars.....He recently rediscovered an old beat up wooden play guitar that we tried to hide from him. He is now wanting to eat with it, sleep with it, go in the bath with it (where we draw the line...haha), and also dance around and sing with it. He has now written his first "song." It's titled "Guitar Guitar." Haha! That's all that's too it too. He has a little tune and he dances around strumming the guitar singing, "Guitar..guitar...guitar...guitar." It is just precious! When we get a video I'll have to post it here. Just had to share the joy!

Zach's 3D pics

Here's Zach! We just got his pics done on Saturday. It was amazing to see his face and to see all the likenesses to his brothers. He seems to be some kind of morph of the two of them. We love this little guy so much already and are excited to meet him face to face in May.

Still sick....

I'm 11 weeks into this pregnancy now. I'm still coping with the crappy "morning" sickness, which is more like "all day" sickness. Thanks to my wonderful Mom and my awesome husband I am able to deal. My Mom has been here every day while Nathan is at work to care for the boys (and laundry!...thanks Mom!), and Nathan comes home every night from a long day at work only to have to cook dinner and take care of the kiddos (which he helps with all the time anyhow, I just usually cook). I'm blessed! I can't wait to get through this part! With the boys it was all over between 13 and 14 weeks. Maybe this one will be different and I'll get better tomorrow! Nathans Mom (the amazing Mother-in-law of the century winner), came yesterday to help. She pre-made dinner the night before, came down with all kinds of craft projects and favorite books for the boys, took them outside for some fun playtime, swept, mopped, vacuumed and cleaned my bathroom! I was spoiled. My Dad brings me my stash of Club Soda and brings dinner by too sometimes. Nathan's Dad often stops by to pray for me. It's so good to have an awesome family!

Number three is on the way!

That's right! We're expecting our third child at the end of May! At this point I am 8 weeks pregnant and feeling it. I am dealing with a ton of "morning" sickness. Thankfully, my Mom is amazing and has been helping me while Nathan is at work. We are blessed!

Susannah and Alex's Wedding

Chicken Marbella...another family favorite!

This is a recipe that Mom, A.K.A. Grandma Kaedi, makes on special occasions. We love this recipe so much that Nathan and I now have it for normal weekday dinners. It looks fancy, but it is super easy, and this chicken is amazing! Just click on the recipe and it will open up to a larger size so you can print it out. Enjoy!
