Catch up time! (and an announcement!)

Tap, tap, tap...anybody still there? Oh, hi guys. It's me, I'm back. Sorry about the (almost, but not quite) 2 month hiatus.

Things have been pretty busy around here. I could give you a few excuses, but lets start with the most exciting one (to me at least).

That's right folks, baby Haymore #3 is on it's way!

I'm due November 10th (ish). So I'll be 18 weeks along on Tuesday. We're so completely overjoyed to be having another little one join our family. In fact, Rylee is so excited she announced that "My Mommy has a baby in her tummy" in the middle of primary days after we told her. Thankfully only a couple people heard her though (I wasn't very far along when she did that). Anyway, I probably won't be finding out the sex of the baby until July (although I plan on sweet-talking my doctor into letting me have an earlier ultrasound on Tuesday--I'm impatient).

So yes, that's my most exciting excuse for not blogging for almost 2 months. My other excuse is that we've just had a lot going on.

Some things we've up to the last few months are:

***We decided to have our kitchen, front living room, hallway, bathrooms and laundry room tiled (and we opted to do the demo-work ourselves, which was actually kinda fun. But also a lot of work!) And these are my only real "before and after" pictures. (which is totally pathetic because the pictures don't do it justice at all. It really has made such a huge difference in the house)

***And then we decided since we have beautiful new tile, why not replace all the old carpet with new carpet!

And again, sorry about this picture. I have no before and after, this is just an after. So if you didn't know what it looked like before, this picture means nothing. Just believe me when I say it's a HUGE difference! :)

***We took a FANTASTIC trip to Disneyland (post to follow--sometime or another...)

***My precious little Jadyn turned 2! (also a separate post to follow)

***I was a "captain of 10" (however we renamed ourselves "ninjas" because we had to wear all black for the performance) for the Temple Cultural Event for The Gila Valley Temple dedication. It was a pretty big time commitment for the months leading up to it, and then a huge time commitment for the weekend of the performance, but, it was all worth it! The youth did AMAZING and it was such an incredibly memorable and spiritual experience for them (and for me as well).

Here's some of my laurels lined up at one of the many practices. I love those girls!

And then these are from the evening dress rehearsal. (that's nearly 1,600 youth in the group shots!)

And then this is when President Monson, President Eyring and Elder Holland entered the stadium. (my dang camera's zoom is broken so I couldn't zoom in at all!)

I think that's most of the exciting things that have happened the last couple months anyway... It's been busy, but a whole lot of fun too!

And then, my last excuse for not blogging for so long is simply that I've been lazy. Sorry, no pictures to prove that. But perhaps the lack of posts is proof enough! :)

Welp, I really am sorry this post is so long. Congratulations to you if you actually read or even looked at the whole thing!
