OK, holy cow, this is going to be a looooooong one. What do you expect though, I only have 3 months of catching up to do! Why do I put this off for so long?! We have had a busy, full of just "stuff" few months. And since I use my blog as my "journal" I can't not catch it up. :)
These two loooove each other! This was a day at the park in early Spring, sometime in March before it snowed like the next day.
The day we got home from Hawaii, Jason and Katie had their 4th baby, "Jude"... cutest fat little thing. That night after going to the hospital to see the new little one, we went to dinner with Brett's parents and Jason and Katie's kids.Boston and Nash in their matching Thomas pj's. I promised myself I would NEVER buy character anything. Well, Boston has Thomas pj's, Buzz light year pj's and his grandma Jo Jo just informed me she bought he and Nashy matching Toy Story flip flops. I guess there are some promises you just can't keep.
This is Easter morning. I don't think he really knew what was going on but he still thought it was pretty cool to have treats for breakfast and get some new toys.
Easter egg hunt in the FREEZING cold at Brett's parents. Some memories just have to be forced. You can't not have an Easter egg hunt just because there is snow, right??
Easter Egg hunt with Aunt Teri and Uncle Kelly at their mortuary ( I know, that sounds creepy but having get togethers at the mortuary is normal in their family?) Brett's cousin Taylor dressed up as the Easter bunny. She looked adorable and the kids loved it.
The 3 pregnants
I realized the other day that I haven't really taken many pictures of my belly this time but I do have a few. This was at 21 weeks.
23 weeks
A few months ago, we found out that Brett's dad had a cancerous growth on his thyroid. He has since had it removed and had treatment and is doing very very well. It was a little scary but we are so glad he is ok! This is Boston when we went to see him at the hospital after his thyroid removal surgery.
At the end of April, Boston and I took a road trip to Boise to stay with my brothers while my parents went to Paris. He was an angel in the car the whole way, not without movies and treats the whole time of course :) This is what he picked out at the gas station...

playing at the park in Boise
In May my friend in our ward took some pictures of Boston and I. Here are just a couple...
These are at 26 weeks
We went up to Heber with Boston's cousins and did the whole "Day out with Thomas" adventure. It was cute and they loved it. They got to ride the train, play golf, get tattoos, and play with all the Thomas toys that were out. Boston went through quite the Thomas obsession phase so he thought this was pretty cool. It's so fun to see how excited your kids get about stuff. I love it.getting his tattoo

A couple of weeks ago, we went to the farm at Thanksgiving Point with Boston's cousins. We picked a windy, chilly day but it was still fun. The obsession these days is Toy Story. When Boston got off this horse he kept saying "bye Bull-eye!" Oh and that face he's making, the not so attractive one is his "cheese" face. Whatever.
Boston's first real picture. One night we were sitting at the table and Boston wanted me to draw Spongebob, I don't know how to draw that! So I drew a square and then just kind of ignored him for a couple of minutes. When I looked over at him again, he had added all this stuff to it! I was floored since I've never shown him how to draw a "person" before. All I drew was the square and the hat and he did the rest. I thought this was pretty impressive. Maybe my little guy will be an artist?
Zoo Day! I'm so glad we got to do a few things with Boston's cousins before they left us and moved away :(Doesn't Sadie look like she is loving this ride? haha
Boston loves loves loves his Uncle Brady and is his shadow whenever he comes to visit.
Summer haircut. Made me kind of sad to buzz his head, but his daddy really wanted to see what he would look like and I have to admit it's growing on me. He looks so old! I can not believe how fast time goes. It really isn't fair.
Phew! I think I'm done for now. We do have some other interesting and exciting changes going on at our house other than the new baby on the way, but I'll save that for another post ;) The way things have been going with my blog the next post will most likely be new baby pictures! Can't believe that is already that close . I'm 32 weeks this week! So excited to have a new little tiny person in our home. Oh and if anyone has any name suggestions, we are still stuck on that. I really don't want to have to call my baby "baby". haha. So I'm open to suggestions!

Happy Birthday Boston and more
We celebrated Boston's birthday a weekend early this year because we won't be here for his real birthday :( I can not believe I almost have a 2 year old! (in 4 days) Where the heck did that time go?! I love every inch of him though, he's been so much fun to have around for the last 2 years.
We had a "Thomas" party for him since that is his OBSESSION right now. All he cares about really is his trains. So funny. We had some family and a few friends over and his party was complete with Thomas cake, and a choo-choo pinata. Then we took all of the kids to Kangaroo zoo to work out all the sugar!
Boston helping me make the cake...
Blowing out his candles

Extremely LONG catch up post ahead...
I wish I could say I haven't posted for a long while because I've been super super busy, but if we're being honest, I haven't been that busy at all. The reason for my laziness? This:We are very excited to be expecting our second little someone. I'm about 12 weeks along and the last couple months I have been completely exhausted! I don't remember being this tired and just plain worn out with Boston but I can't complain too much. At least I haven't been sick. So this little person has been my reason for sometimes staying in my pajamas, and getting nothing done at all some days including not updating my blog for 3 months.
I'll attempt to update the last few months...
This is Boston's new favorite thing to do. He brings books to my hair people and wants to sit on their laps while they're getting their hair done. I do not have a shy child.Yes, we took our SON to Disney Princess on Ice and he liked it :) If we're being honest, I was really the one that wanted to go and I liked it too.
My kid's two favorite OBSESSIONS: Bananas and Choo Choos.
Family Christmas pictures

Look at those handsome little future missionariesFirst Presidency Christmas Devotional
Boston and Kyler having a dance off in Forever 21. This was way funny. I wish I had Kyler in the video more. Boston was attempting to copy everything he was doing.
Tried to take Boston to see Santa at the mall. He didn't cry but was totally creeped out by him and refused to sit on his lap. So we got this picture instead in front of Santa's tree.Sundberg Christmas party... Again, refused to sit on Santa's lap but definitely wanted the present.
Christmas morning at Sundberg's. Boston got a remote control car that he loved.
Riding the Choo Choo at the mall. We've taken him to ride this a few times and I swear he thinks it is the best thing that's ever happened to him in his lifetime! Loves loves loves it!
I love this baby. Baby Ryne. Brett got him to sleep with his magic touch. My favorite thing though is he sucks on only one finger. So cute.
Cousins watching a movie. No idea what Halle is wearing. :) Silly girl
The kids love to get on top of the fridge at JoJo's house. They were being really funny that night.
Boston and Sadie at Cabelas
Lunch at The Blue Lemon. Boston and Nash thought they were pretty cool cause they could put their legs up on the table like Gray.
Well, That's what I've got for the last few months. Not a ton going on, but we are all healthy, happy, and excited about our little newcomer.
