Swords, Smores, and Silly String
Between Spring Break and Ryan's 4th B-day, we have been in quite the party mode...
I got a kick out of the girls chumin' around together--breakfast as triplet gangsters!
Then they were Knights at Medieval Times. We were given green crowns and the green knight happened to be the villain. Funny thing is, Izzy couldn't stand cheering for him when she found out he was bad--too pure. So she abandoned our naughty ways and started cheering for the prince. Picture a sparkle between those pearly whites :)
Camping started 75 degrees and swimsuits by the lake. The evening was perfect jacket weather for tinfoil dinners and smores. The highlight for Lorin and Cory was that we got them (and their friends) air-soft guns--not a pop-can unholed! Then night came....duh, duh, duhhhh!! Here's the email I wrote (I remind you I'm 8 months prego) to the mom's who went home before bed that night (aka: the smart moms):
"So....at 5 a.m., laying on my mattress after about 1 total hour of sleep, I was wondering what is worse...a bladder explosion, a disjointed hip, or the soaking wet feet in the freezing cold. Then Cory says to me "come 6 a.m. this tent is going in the trizash" (translation: trash)...I got the giggles so bad that it finalized my decision...exploding bladder takes it."
And yes, at 6 a.m. the tent was sticking out of the trash and we were nowhere in site--Brooks and Matt got a kick out of it that morning and gave us a major award... "Smartest Camper Award: Costley Family for their purchase of a disposable tent."
And finally, my baby-girl turned 4 years old. Crazy! I'll be posting more about that on her blog including a Sample Ryan Prayer that is pretty funny. For her b-day she got to spray whomever could guess her favorite things with silly string...they include oranges, carrots, pink, pizza, Pretty Pretty Princess, and ice cream.

SNOW! pregnant.
This, historically (supposedly), has never happened here before...
1. 2 days off school and snow that stuck!!...
2. pink tooting (aka: fluffing, passing gas, cutting the cheese, the f#*% word (now, now)) goop stuck to our vaulted ceiling (don't be fooled by the smile)...
3. such enormity at the end of a 2nd trimester (some great lady from the 1st ward "hoped I was due any day for my sake").
Life is good with a mouth full of whipped cream :)

"Dammits," Super Fluff Bunny, and Manipulation
To see a fun update on Ryan click on her blog at the right...here's a glimpse:
...And when Super Fluff Bunny is pushing her own small cart at the grocery store and saying things like "that looks discusting...I would never eat that," people listen!...

Our Colorado Christmas and a Couple of B-days
Izzy turned 6!! And I turned .... well .... 30! You might catch a glimpse of me in my 30 year old pregnant glory if you watch the slide show long enough, but I thought this shot of Izzy is great. She really is this happy and sunny just about all of the time.
We decided to get wacky wild with our Christmas plans and drove 18 hours (an extra 4 due to the Kansas blizzard) to Colorado. We met up with my sister's family (she has 3 kids all about the same ages as mine) at a condo. Indoor hot-tub, first time skiing for all the kids, tubing, tons of games, Santa's spoilings, and a two hour nerf gun war Christmas morning pretty much sums it up. We couldn't have had a better time. Enjoy the slide show :)

That Big Announcement!
IT'S A BOY!!!
So I'm a little crazy--I realized after last post that I haven't even posted that I'm pregnant yet. After a couple of miscarriages, I was a little hesitant...and then forgot. Anyway...the fact that I'm prego isn't the big news. But today we found out the gender!!!
I wish I had time to capture the moment for y'all, but we are headed on a trip today and I've got to get moving. I'll just say there were some tears of joy--not just by the emotional pregnant lady. I'm so excited for Cory to have his boy :)
Loves!
