First off (because it happened first), I'm pregnant. I'm 10 week along now, meaning I haven't gotten this far in a pregnancy since I had Hadley. The baby looks good in ultrasounds, I'm sick as a dog (alway a "good" sign) and the doctor doesn't seem worried at all anymore. We're all hoping this one will stick around. Yay. My only complain (so far :) ) is that the Zofran doesn't seem to be the miracle cure it once was. I've been told it's probably because my nausea is even worse this time around. I didn't realize it COULD get worse! Oh well, I'll live. No pictures of that just yet - I just look fat right now anyway.
Second, Curtis plays indoor soccer every Saturday with a couple of his cousins and some of their friends. Last Saturday he came home injured. His ankle was swollen beyond recognition and he couldn't walk on it. (but he did, however, drive home in our stick shift car with it - that had to be good for it) So we got him some crutches and when Monday came around, he headed to the doctor to see what was wrong. It was sprained on both sides (which the doctor said is more painful than breaking it), but it should heal relatively quickly. Curtis is even hoping he can still play again THIS Saturday. Crazy boy, he's still limping.
We tried taking pictures of it the first night, but they weren't very impressive. Now the bruises are much more pronounced.
Oh, and all the pictures in this post were taken by Curtis' camera, so that's why they're not top quality, but they're better than my camera's pictures (remember the broken chair post?).
Next up, the kids. Adelyn loves to help out. Here she is trying to help Curtis chop wood. You can barely see it but she's holding an old shovel handle (straight up in the air) and trying to hit the piece of wood on the stump. Cute.
She's also becoming quite devious. She wanted Hadley's drink. I reminded her a couple of times that it was his and that she had already drank hers. The Curtis came up, and asked Hadley if he wanted his drink. She said "actually, it's mine, dad." Punk!
Most of the time they really like each other and play really well together.
Hadley's favorite phrase right now is "what's this?" Even when he knows the answer. Sometimes, if he thinks you're not paying enough attention, he'll turn your head for you, to look directly at him. He's way cute and fun right now.
The kids love to "read" the comics on Sunday. They also both love to laugh and make others laugh. Adelyn especially, will even tell you to take a picture of her if she thinks she's really being funny or cute.
Yesterday morning I came upstairs to hear Adelyn and Hadley playing in my room. Adelyn was telling Hadley in a rather strict voice, "you just have to trust me" over and over again. Now this immediately brought up images of Mysti and I saying something very similar to that to Krysta right before she broke her arm. I don't want to deal with a kid with a broken arm any time soon (or ever, if I can do it), so I ran in there to see what was going on. Whatever Adelyn wanted Hadley to do, he didn't seem very interested. They weren't even next to each other, so I still have no idea what she was thinking.
We ran out of milk a few days ago and I never got around to going to get more. So for the last few mornings we've had Cream of Wheat. The kids don't like it, but I thought they'd get used to it and eat it. Instead they just got used to starving. They even stopped asking for snacks between breakfast and lunch (knowing that they don't get them when they don't eat the previous meal). Crazy kids.
Curtis bought milk last night and we had cold cereal for breakfast this morning (their absolute favorite). Hadley clapped and said "yum, yum!" when he saw it and Adelyn announced that "we LOVE cereal, mom!" As if trying to teach me to never give them "the other stuff" again! They each had seconds.And last, but not least (even though I don't have any pictures for it), my brother Bryce is going on a mission very soon to Africa. His farewell is this Sunday. Fun stuff. I'm so excited for him. We were even able to go to the temple with him last night as a family.

I hated cream of wheat as a kid. My mom made it for dinner once and I wouldn't eat it. It was waiting for me the next morning. Reheated C-O-W, even more disgusting. I love the pics of your kids, they are so cute.
Yay for an update! When we were kids, we always got to put food coloring in our cream of wheat so we loved it! Every day, I would choose a different color or mixture of colors :)
I love the "you just have to trust me" moment. Uh oh, never thought about that with siblings! Also, is it just me or has Adelyn's hair gotten a lot darker???
I also can't believe Bryce is going on a mission. Uhhh when did these little kids grow up?!
OUCH! That ankle looks terrible. He's nuts if he thinks he'll be back at it in a week! Sounds like Curtis though! Your kids are so cute...getting big too! Congrats on the new pregnancy...hope you're up for three, it's a duesy! Good Luck!
Congrats! I hope everything goes well. Also, a double sprained ankle is no big deal! I'm surprised he even needed crutches (extreme sarcasm).
Your kids are huge girl! Yikes, that ankle looks sick!!!!! Ouch!!!
