Random Thoughts 2007

I was talking to Little Man E about how Auntie Mandy (Chris' wife) has a baby in her tummy that is going to come out soon, and he said to me, "Mommy get a baby in her tummy!!" LOL, maybe it's time to have another one? :)

We have been drawing our house plans for our house that we will be building in th
e late winter/early spring of 2008 (this next year). We are pretty excited about it. It is pretty neat to be able to design our own place, with the rooms and such exactly how we want them to be. And it works out very nicely, because this what Mark and his family do for a living (they have their own business) and so we will only have to pay for materials--and not for the labor, which will save us a lot of money. We are pretty excited about this!!!!! :)

Mark and I have been planning for a few months now, to go away for 3 days and 2 nights, and leave the kids with Mark’s parents (their grandparents)--and go to Crater Lake, to a Bed and Breakfast or camping or something. Because it is our fifth wedding anniversary this year, and I am almost done nursing Baby R (we are down to one feeding in the morning--), and I am not pregnant right now, it’s been since November 2003, that I have been not nursing and not pregnant, so we want to take advantage of that--this is the perfect time to go. But I am little nervous about it because we have never left the kids, I have NEVER left Baby R over night, and the only nights Little Man E has been away from us, was when I gave birth to Baby R and I cried worse than him. I think that Little Man E will be okay, and he can help Baby R, but Baby R might be having a harder time. It’s only going to be for 3 days, 2 nights, and so they should be fine.
It’s just really good for our marriage, for our relationship as a couple to spend time away to reconnect. I’m just so lucky to have such a wonderful husband, we are sooo in love, even after 5 years, our love for each other grows every day, and we love each other, even more than we did when we were married.
Some of the pictures are: Little Man E fell asleep watching Star Wars, holding his light sabor, Baby R tried on Daddy's boots, I take the kids for rides in the trailer behind my bike.

I LOVE HOW YOU BOLDED THE MUSHY STUFF! (Eldon and I have been married now for...let me think ...11 and a half years! I still think he's pretty neat.) I think it's awesome that the two of you have a great relationship. Enjoy your vacation! I can't wait to see the floor plan you have been designing. I'll bring mine to the reunion, if you will. :oD

You get the best pictures of your kids Liz!!! I love Rachel's face in the bike picture, so cute :) I'm glad you and Mark will be going for your getaway, it will be so nice to be alone for a bit. But I know what you mean about being nervous living the kids. I am having the hardest leaving Hyrum in nursery! I feel guilty leaving him alone :) But I think it's good for them, at least that's what I tell myself!!!

Also, I forgot to say how cool about your house! I'm glad you guys decided to build your own. That will be so awesome. I'm excited to see your house plan when it's done and also your house in the future!!!

I love these pictures especially the one of the kids in their towels and the one of Rachel in her Daddy's big boots.

Such cute pictures! As always! My favorite, like Mom, is the one of the kids in their towels, and like Megan, Rachel's face, in the bike/stroller picture. PS- Cute strollers!! ;)
