Summer Adventures!

Josi and Jace at the Cabin
My Dad built a way awesome fire pit at the Cabin!
This is him placing all the rocks into place!
It has stairs that lead down to it, and huge boulders to sit on!
He is so cute, he got it all done so it would be perfect
for girls camp for my ward!
What a wonderful Dad I have!


I think Josi would swing all day if someone would
push her! My mom pushed her for me at the cabin to
give this preggo gal a break! She is such a cute Grandma
to all the grand kids!


Not that my Dad isn't busy enough but he came out and
tilled my garden all up for me! He also brought us trees that day
that he has grown and fixed a few sprinklers!
Caleb has been so slammed with homework that my cute
dad came out to help! I love him!



Here are the trees and mulch he brought out for us!

Josi is super lucky, she has these aunts and uncles that

fight over her! She had so much fun swimming with Nate, Kathy, Natalie

and Andy. They are so cute with her!

She would come over and snuggle up by me for a few

and then back to the fun people!

Caleb is so good about taking her to the pool!

She loves swimming with him, and

he has been teaching her to swim a little 2!

He is so funny, he puts floaties and a life jacket on her!

Some of my friends at the pool were saying how cute it is that

he is so concerned! He is a very good Daddy!

We have had a great summer, we swim a lot and have spent lots of

time at the Cabin. Its so fun to go up there! We have been enjoying all the warm weather

finally!

Catching up again!!!

Well its been forever since I have caught up the good old blog! Things are good around the Richardson house these days. Josi is so dang cute, I just really love her sooo much! She is getting so big, we just moved her into a big bed that she is so thrilled about! It is her Cinderella bed as she calls it. She has done great and loves sitting in her bed and reading books! I just went in to check her for the night and found her laying on top of 3 books! She is so funny, she is about 90% potty trained. She loves princess stickers and gets so excited to get more and more stickers to share with everyone around her. She is getting excited about the baby, she keeps telling me she has a baby in her tummy too. She said something so funny, we were watching Dumbo and at the beginning when the Stork was carrying all the white bags in with the baby animals Josi says "O look Mom, that birds been to Walmart" She loves walmart and loves making friends anywhere we go! She is a smart little cookie, and is so sweet! She always says mom I love you.... your my best friend. I really don't know how I got so lucky to have such an angel in our home!
The pregnancy is going well now, I am finally done throwing up and I feel better. I am due October 15th and it cant come soon enough. I am decorating the nursery and I cant wait to get it all done. I am doing a transportation room, i will posts some pictures when I get it all done! I have had some crazy things happen with this pregnancy, I am on my 5th ultrasound. I had to go to primary children's hospital to have an echo cardiogram on the babies heart. They found a very healthy heart in the end, but it totally had me worried. Also I have low line placenta so they are just watching it real close and we will see if we need to take the baby Cesarean in the end. He is an active little guy. He is pretty hyper actually, sometimes I feel like he is having a crazy game of soccer in my belly! I was nervous because I totally fell down the stairs last week on my bum! It is all sorts of bruised but the Doctor said that he is totally fine. Its just me that was hurt, and I'm totally cool with that! I'm getting excited for this baby boy, I love looking for clothes and cute things!
Caleb is a crazy school maniac, he is on his second semester of just summer school. He has got straight A's in every single class since starting our little adventure! He will be applying for the nursing program next fall and that's so exciting! This has been the best semester for me so far only because I have got to see him more. He is such a hard worker, and stays so busy and so motivated! He is such a good dad and even with being so busy takes so much time to make sure Josi gets his love and attention! He is so excited for a boy and has had some great ideas for the nursery as well.
As for me, I am doing good. I am just starting to feel huge and I still have 3 months to go! That's OK..... it will all be worth it. I am a little nervous because of our schedule these days, but I know its gonna work out. I am scared to have 2 kids and have Caleb gone so much, but I am just lucky to have Josi and she really is such a dream! I'm still doing hair like a mad woman and its getting a little harder cuz my belly is getting in the way! I have been enjoying my yard this year and have planted lots of stuff! That's my update, we spent the 4th at the cabin and girls camp as well. They were both so fantastic, and we are so lucky to get to spend time up there! We hope you are all doing well!

We are having a BOY!

I have been such a slacker about blogging latley, but we are so excited to be adding this new addition to our family! He will be born in October and I cant wait to get started on the nursery! This pregnancy has been so much better than it was with Josi, however I still get pretty sick. It is really hit and miss this time around but when it hits, I am miserable. Today is one of those days, I cant stop throwing up and Josi was so sweet today. She kept saying "mommy whats that matter, your my best friend" She is such a sweet little girl. It makes me sad because I dont like her to be in the bathroom when I am throwing up, but she has been pretending to throw up and it makes me feel sicker to hear her try. She told me this morning if I did it again I would have to go to time out! She is so funny and says the cutest funniest things ever! When we ask her if she is excited for a brother she quickly tells us its a princess! She may be a little surprised when he is not a little girl! Caleb just started summer semester and I am happy and sad, the long days are getting a little old. He works a grave yard shift and wakes up at 10am and is out the door by 10:20am and we dont see him again till the next morning at 10am when he wakes up. He gets home when we are asleep already. We go see him a lot for lunch and stuff, but honestly I dont know how people do this for medical school. All those poor wives, and husbands. We figure we have about 7 years left till he is all done with nursing school with a masters so yipee, here we go! We are doing good however, I just got some beautifull cabinets made for my salon and painted an accent wall! I will post pics when its all back in its place, I hope the warm weather comes and stays soon. Hope you are all doing great!

Our Update!

Well I know that most of you already know this, but we are having another baby in October! My due date is October 17th! I have been more leery to announce because with Josi I got sooooooo sick that I was on IV therapy and all sorts of craziness and this one I am sick but nothing like my last pregnancy! I am so happy that this one is easier! My doctors got me right on all my special meds I take during pregnancy and I think that it has helped me leaps and bounds! I got to hear the heartbeat yesterday loud, clear, and strong! We are thrilled to get to have another bundle of happiness in our family! Josi also thinks she has a baby in her tummy and she has been so excited about her new brother or sister! We are not hopeful for one more than the other, but I will be completely shocked if its not a boy! I keep saying in my prayers... please bless him and I'm not trying to or meaning to! We are thrilled and so excited to have another baby!

Stay tuned for our families latest update!
