Okay I am so embarrassed! I cried in front of other people last night. To make matters worse it wasn't the pretty kind (if there is such a thing)...no it was the shoulders heaving can't catch your breath kind of cry.
I really am not an emotional person and I can't remember the last time I cried like that. Oh sure I cry when I hear a sad news story or a really heartwrenching movie but apparently I ALSO cry when I'm extremely frustrated as well. Usually I vent to my husband but I guess when telling my plight to other women the frustration got to me and I let the waterworks loose.
So now I feel really ridiculous and am hoping the people who saw don't think I am a crazylunatic.
I'll blame it on the hormones.
Have any of you had this experience?

Quite the Weekend
Our weekend held some promise as we made plans to attend the Aquarium while Dad attended the auto show. Kylie had complained of a headache early in the morning but the sometimes happens after mom does her hair!
Kylie and Tessa both loved seeing all the fish but then it became apparent that Kylie just did not feel good. She didn't want to see or eat anything after about a half hour and grandma just held her.
She threw up in the bathroom of Burger King and then fell asleep in the car on the way home. The evening was filled with more throwing up, headaches, and fevers. She hadn't eaten anything all day and didn't fall asleep until midnight. So I worried that it might be a rough day or two. The last fever was pretty high so I kept checking on her every hour until it broke.
As I finally got to bed I thought how blessed I was that my children were generally healthy. I don't know how I would do it if my child had an illness or ailment like cancer. I was doubly blessed when Kylie woke up feeling better. I don't know if it was because we all got flu shots this year or if it was just a 24 hour bug but, again, a blessing!

Answer
Okay so here is the answer to my little riddle. Bea + Aaay + Bee + Why = BABY!
That's right! We are expecting baby #3 on July 15th. I am 13 weeks along and I have been so nauseated and tire, but now that I am into my 2nd trimester I am feeling better. So hopefully this explains my "slackerness" in many areas. The baby looks healthy and we will find out the sex at my next appointment on February 19th.

A Little New Years Riddles
Here's a little riddle to help you guess what good news our family received this year. Take the answers from questions 1-4 and put them together for the answer:
1.)The name of the Aunt on the Andy Griffith Show?
2.)Commom phrase uttered by Arthur Fonzarelli (aka "the Fonz") on the show Happy Days?
3.)What insect "according to all the known laws of aviation" should not be able to fly (it's wings are too small to get it's fat little body of the ground)?
4.)The question you hear most as a mom from children from ages 3-18?
Answer to be posted tomorrow!

What Surfing?
After Christmas we had our annual cousins party. Grandma DaDean (LaDean) babysat Kylie and several other cousins. One of the many activities included MATRESS SURFING! In case you aren’t familiar with this event you take an old mattress and lay it down a steep flight of stairs. Then you slide down it over and over again while trying to contain your laughter. You haven't lived until you've been matress surfing!
Kylie loved it!
A year ago my mom also had a sleepover in which she helped the little girls freeze their underwear. Funny... but not that enjoyable slipping on frozen underwear. We must admit that we have the coolest, funnest grandma ever, but when word gets out sororities and fraternities around the country are going to be calling asking her to be their house mother!

Christmas
Christmas was great! I had a friend observe that even with the tough economy everybody she talked to had a great Christmas. We attributed it to the fact the people are starting to focus on what is really important, like family, and instead of making wish lists they are counting their blessings. This was the case for our family.
We had a fairly calm Christmas Eve. We invited some of my family down for a small party. We all enjoyed the food and watching Elf before heading to bed. The highlight of the evening watching my sisters trying to give each other “airplane rides.”
Our girls are wonderful sleepers so Kylie woke us up at 8:00 to open presents. Tessa wasn’t so happy to be woken up but once she saw their were toys involved she cheered up.
Kylie loved her pink dress and hand-made blanket from Grandma Nelson, as well as her grown up doll, ballerina music box, and new books. Tessa was excited when she received a blanket and pink dress as well, but her favorite item was her Disney Princess cell phone!
After we had Christmas at our house we headed up to my mom’s house in Ogden. More presents including brightly colored dollar store dress ups and polly pockets from Aunt Aly. Kylie and Tessa loved their hats. Kylie calls hers a “cowboy hat” but I think she looks more like a “pimp.” Tessa pulls the hat down over eyes and walks around laughing until she runs into something.
Finally we head up to the ward building to celebrate with my mom’s extended side of the family. I am very close to my aunts, uncles, and cousins. It’s fun to socialize, eat homemade soups and rolls, and help the great grandchildren put on the Nativity.
