how about an update.

holy cow. it has been quite the few months here. lets just start at the main reason for the absence of goodness around here: i am pregnant! that's right. another little babe coming to our family. i am 16 weeks this week.. and we will find out what were having in the beginning of may. i am due the end of september.
i have been super sick, again, this this pregnancy. it's been pretty miserable all around for everyone. lynley has taken care of me... and i will never forget her sweet kisses on the forehead, all the help with callie, getting her drinks, reading her books, making them both sandwhiches.. she just really did take care of us while i was down for the count. thank you lyn! i can't wait to take care of you someday when youre pregnant! :)

update on tyler: he is doing good. he is busy busy with his church callings with the scouts and young men, he is also doing great at work. he loves his job and evergreen has been a great company to work for. he is selling lots of tractors and just enjoys the people that he interacts with everyday. he loves his toy helicopters, and enjoys chasing us around the house with them. every night when he gets home the girls wait to wrestle with him! adn they both demand multiple kisses every morning when he leaves.

update on Lynley: she is getting really really big, i can't even take it. she loves loves loves her tire swing that dad put up for her, and spends lots of time everyday swinging and singing and playing pretend. she likes those weird pony's from that TV show. she still carries around her soft DD and charlie and marley around. she dislikes the meal dinner right now. not the food, just the actual meal DINNER! ahhh! haha she likes to play with callie and can make her laugh so hard. she likes her dog pixie and is great at bossing her around ha she has mixed feelings about going to school next year, she's excited, but nervous about leaving mom. i'm trying not to create more anxiety around that.. even though i am on anxiety level 10 about her leaving me!! She loves primary and she's learning the articles of faith! (we all are ha) she has 1-3 down perfect, and is almost done memorizing number 4. i am amazed how well she picks them up and how they get stuck in her head. makes me proud. she says the most sincere prayers right now.. she closes her eyes and folds her arms so tight and she thinks about what to say, about who needs prayers, about what is going on in her or others lives right then. her prayers are never the same. and often times i am brought to tears by her innocent, perfect faith in the power of prayer. the other night she was very sick, and tyler gave her a blessing. it was so sweet.. she knew that that blessing was the reason she didn't throw up that night. her and tyler have become very close over the past few months.. she will stay outside in the cold with him for hours and hours. she worships him, and its just so, amazing to watch them develop such a sweet deep relationship. they are two peas in a pod, and i am so greatful for that. she says taht she wants the new baby to be a girl, because she doesnt want to see any weiners! hahaha she says the funniest things lately. for instance, shes in love with her friend cutter, becasue "he has good hair, and i like his face too.." haha so funny. i am going to be better at recording her things she says. shes very excited for her birthday and invites everyone i mean EVERYONE to her bday party. young or old friend or stranger haha.

update on Callie: callie girl is almost 18 months. she likes to be outside with lyn, well she actually likes to do anything with lynley. she loves books still, and likes to play with toys. she can say lots of words and knows what we are saying lots of the times. she can say book, please, thank you, up, no, yes, dad, mom, bath, blankie, done, ma-ma (grandma), poopoo, diap (diaper) night night, baby and if you tell her to  say someething shes getting pretty good at trying to make the same noise as you. she likes to climb! she just learned how to get up on the couch and ktichen chairs. she's pretty impressed with herself. whenever i get her into trouble, she makes this big pouty lip and says "k..k..k" it's so cute i just want to kiss her face off. shes a very good baby, and we love her lots. she's just getting so much personality and opinions its so funny. still only 5 teeth! haha! i love them! they crack me up. she's still in 12 mo jammies.. just our little petite callie girl.

well, thats a pretty good update id say! now for a major amount of iphone photos to call this catch up complete:
