I am 20 weeks today!! That means I'm half way there and only another 20 more weeks to go. Which mean only 20 more weeks to get my house where I want it to, to buy the things that we need, and to get myself mentally prepared. I've been doing and feeling good lately, with the exception of last night. It was the first time I threw up in this pregnancy and only the second time to have thrown up within all my pregnancies. I'm sure you wanted to know. The other day I went shedding with Kurt and I had to have walked around two miles, something I don't even do not pregnant, and last night we went swimming at the pool. I haven't been to the doctor since we moved so I have no stats to share but the baby moves and kicks a ton! That's one thing I know I'll miss when we're done having babies. The only maternity clothes I'm wearing are church skirts because the regular skirts that fit are too breezy for winter. My sister Nikki and I have been pregnant every other year so we've combined maternity clothes and hand them back to each other after each pregnancy. With only one or two more years of that Breana and Cherie will have a nice collection by the time they're ready to have kids. That's all for now. Hopefully by the next update I'd have visited the doctor and will have more to share!

Catching up BIG time!
I was looking like crazy for my camera cord and although I didn't find it I found another cord that would work. YAY!! So here a pictures from the flight over till now.
Our layover in Portland. The kids did so good!! Can you see that Brody doesn't have any shoes on?
The weekend after we got to Cedar City we went to Cedar High's homecoming. They sadly lost but they had a fun firework show.
The day after the game we went up into the mountains with Kurt's family and chopped down trees for firewood. It was gorgeous up there!
The infamous puke green trailer.
Our backyard
Our front yard. At leas this is what it looked like when we got here. Now that it's freezing all the trees are bare and everything is dull.
This is the kid's room. Can you find Brody?
When Kurt's sister had lived in our trailer they bought chickens and built a chicken coop. The coop was still in really good condition when we moved in. Kurt thought it would be fun for the kids if we got chickens. Some kids have fish, other's have dogs or cats, we get our kids chickens.
They're called Silkies. Kinda funny looking huh?
And... the chickens came with pigeon's. It's disgusting to me that people actually eat these birds. These are the same nasty diseased scavenger birds we have in Hawaii. We kinds don't know what to do with them because we defiantly won't eat them!
The inside of the coop.
Brody was Master Chief from Halo for Halloween this year. He LOVED having his helmet on.
Drew was a scary witch. She specifically did not want to be a nice witch but a scary one. She told us, "When I put on my costume and my makeup I'm not going to be Drew B Drew any more."
After Halloween we drove up to Draper to visit my sister Nikki and meet her new baby boy Collin.
When we got there the grass was nice and green and this is what it looked like when we left. Before it had snowed it was the first time I'd seen my sister's grass.
I went up to Draper with the kids and we left Kurt at home. I wasn't sure how much help I would be for Nikki bringing my kids with me but the kids played really well together! Davis standing in the back is four, Drew is three, Tess is two and Brody is one, then Collin a couple weeks old and the next one due April 1st!!
So while I was gone this is what Kurtis was doing with his brother Jon. They were Elk hunting. Disclaimer: Jon shot this Elk on the last day of the hunt in practically the last hour and it may have even been the only one that they saw hence it being only a spike. I think for ego purposes I may have to take a picture of the elk that Jon has mounted in his house from last year. Better yet I'll make Kurt post it on his blog later.
A little after we got back Kurt and Brody had a father son outing. They went hunting for deer sheds. Every year deer and elk shed their horns and grow a whole new set with another point on it. So they went treasure hunting for horns that deer had shed. Some guy comes every once in a while and will buy deer sheds for $15 a pound. This was Kurt's first time going and he's already addicted. So now that we've fully caught up and now that I have a camera cord and battery I tend to stay caught up!

Scatterbrained
So... I'm still here. I've had my camera battery charger for a while now but guess what? Now I can't find my cord to upload my pictures to my computer. I specifically remember putting my cord some place that I wouldn't lose it. A lot of good that did.
On another note my friend Julia just had her first baby boy, Zeke, a month ago. On her blog she set up an online baby pool where you guess the weight, length, estimated time of arrival and in my case gender, because we're not going to find out till it comes. Can you guess who won her pool? YUP! None other than yours truly! So I thought it would be fun to set one up for myself since those baby tickers scare me. Who knows, maybe I'll even have a prize for the winner!
