Where does the time go?
I sit here a see that it has been two months since I posted, shame on me. I guess I really haven't had my heart into blogging much.
Since my last post we have celebrated Kenna's 8th birthday. We took a short trip to Zion's NP for some r&r and fun with her. We went to see The Little Mermaid at Tuachan. And really just had a good time being a family. Arianna is back in school and loving it, they are doing swim therapy this year, but she has yet to go because she got a cold. She is still fighting the snot, but doing good otherwise. And the biggest news of all, we are having an BOY!!!! Kenna is so very excited, that's what she wanted. I had a feeling early on that it was a boy, just felt so different from the way I did with my girls. He is very active and growing very fast. We still have not found a good name for him, hard to find a good boy name that goes with Snell that has not already been taken. So for now we call him Ossie.
Kenna is very excited for Halloween this year, she is Tiger Lilly from Peter Pan, and Arna is a Peacock. We have been to a few Halloween parties already and their costumes are a hit. My mom made Kenna's and I found Arnas at Gymboree(on sale).
Next up is Kenna's Baptism on the 5th. She is so very excited, and so are we. She is such a wonderful example to her family. She loves going to church and makes sure mom is awake and ready on time.
My next post, which will be soon will have pics of the girls and their costumes, a pic of the boy, and maybe my profile. Thanks for keeping tabs on us even though I slack.

Random Things
Since I really don't find the energy to do much these days, lots of things have been neglected, such as this blog, the laundry, the dishes and well just about everything in the house. I do however manage to bathe, clothe and feed the kids, me on the other hand I really don't like much of anything to eat, I still struggle to get food to the baby in my belly but I keep trying.
So Kenna has been in the second grade for 4 weeks now and is really enjoying it. She has one really good friend in her class, makes her feel better. She is doing well with spelling and math, and loves art time. It really brings me back to the days when i didn't know how to read and spell, and math was a struggle, I hope I can be a good teacher to her.
Arianna will start school on the 29th, she wishes it was now, she is bored and done with summer. She needs her own time to learn and play away from home. I remember when I first put her on the bus two years ago and thought how will I get through the day with out taking care of her? How will she be without mommy there to watch over her? Now I know better. Although it is still hard to say goodbye on the first day, I know that she is in good hands and that she loves to be there. I know I can not provide everything for her everyday and I am glad there is a school that can do all that she needs.
We had our 14 week baby check last week and I am measuring at 15 weeks. Very interesting. Either my dates are off or this is a really happy and big baby. I can alreay feel little thumps and flutters. Can't wait until the end of September to find out if it is a boy or girl.
We also went camping over the weekend, Kenna had so much fun riding on her four wheeler, she even took me for a spin. On our way to our camping destination we stopped in Heber to have some dinner at Arby's. While there a gentleman walked up to our table and put his hand out to Matt and said, 'It would make me very happy to buy your dinner tonight. You have such a special family.' and gave Matt money. I of course started to cry, being that I am pregers I do that. We all said thank you and the man left. I asked Matt yesterday how much the man gave us, and he told me $50. I could not believe the heart of this man. Someone we don't know and would never meet again. All I can figure is that he must have been touched in a very personal way by someone with special needs. I will be forever grateful for his example to my family, to the gift of love he shared. I will someday pass it forward.

Big News!!!
So we have been to the doctor, and all is looking good. So I think it is time to share. We are expecting a new baby in Feb!! I can't tell you all how excited and scared I am for this new adventure. It has been 7 years since i had to care for a normal baby, don't know if I can still do it. Arna is truly easy when it come to so many things, I just hook her up and the food goes in while I go and do everything I have to get done. She is happy to just hang out and play with her toys, she doesn't like to be cuddled. I just don't know what this baby will bring.
Kenna is hoping for a brother, she thinks that would be cool. I also think it would be great to have a little copy of Matt running around.
I have been terribly sick with this baby, always nauseous, and so very tired. I don't remember it being like this with my others. but I am also a few years older too!
Life is good and always keeping us on our toes!
