Baylee's first 2 teeth!

We have wondered for a while if this girl was ever going to get teeth! Well low and behold she gets the in sets! And boy has she been in a fowl mood!! But were glad to see the show up!!

Joys of baby number 3!

Well the reason I haven't posted in quite a while is that I am currently on bed rest! Last Sunday I started spotting and cramping. Well the spotting has went away but the cramping is still showing it's ugly head! My heating pad has became my best friend! (Side note: you can't cook your child from being on a heating pad 90% of the day can you??) The doctor is going to do an ultrasound on the 5th but unless the cramping goes away completely the bed rest is the only option. This child is definatly teaching me patience! I am all filled up with patience. Brooklyn went to my mother in laws house on Friday and I can't believe how much we miss the little turd!! Especially her sis! She has just not been the same since she left, last night she was really crabby so we gave Brooklyn a call and she talked to Baylee. You should have seen her smile just hearing her voice! It was amazing!!

4 years baby!

Andrew and I celebrated our 4 year anniversary on Monday!! Andrew keeps telling everyone that he has reached a milestone with me- he has been married longer this time then the first time!! YAY!! We have our ups and downs but overall I am so glad he has decided to stick it out with me!! On to year 5!!

Chubbuck Days

So yesterday I spent most of the day with my family at Chubbuck Days at Cotant Park. My family job was to provide the sound and music for this event. My dad downloaded a bunch of music the was played over the speakers! Can I just say I love the way my dad and uncle Doran get into the music. My dad had Baylee playing the air guitar and the drums and his favorite question to ask us is "Who sings this?" We had a lady come up to us and tell us that she enjoyed every song that was being played and the her kids did not because they didn't know any of the tunes. That is one thing I am grateful that my dad has taught us good music.
I also enjoyed spending time with my family and seeing that no matter how old you get your uncle will still buy you ice cream. I am thankful for times like this when we can get together and just hang out and also be serving the community!

Feelings GOOD or BAD?

So Friday I went to my latest doctors appointment and got to hear a faint heart beat of the latest Mortensen. Although this pregnacy has been hard for me especially not planning for it and going through post partum (SPELLING?) and still going through it with Baylee, I have not been the most excited parent to have another child, which I feel so bad about because there are those who can't have children and I never thought I would ever feel any form of regret for one of my children but I find that is what I am feeling. Although I know that it will go away and that I feeling regret only for selfish reasons. I still find it hard. Though hearing the little heartbeat made things feel a little more real. And I hope with time that this will feeling will be a thing of the past and all I will feel is joy. My aunt Amy said that happened for a reason and I may not know it now but one day I will. I just wish I knew it now!! PATIENCE I know!

Adventures in camping

This weekend we decided as a family to head to Yellowstone before Andrew gets to busy. We left Friday evening and went to Andrews parents house where we loaded up on the camping necessities. Since we kind of lack in that department. Then Saturday morning we headed up to Yellowstone. Side note, as we were leaving American Falls I realized we had forgotten Brooklyn's blanket, her most prized possesion. Anyways we got to Yellowstone and decided to go to Old Faithful first where I realized my camera was dead! GRRRRRRRRRRRR! Anyways watched good old faithful, got some ice cream and walked through the shops. We then decided to make the loop around Yellowstone which takes to Canyon Village and other places. We were able to buffalo, deer, elk (which Brooklyn called milk. Also keep in mind that each animal that we did see Brooklyn had to tell us what it was and if we tried to correct to made sure to tell you that wasn't going to happen.) and quite a few ducks and some very beautiful seanery.
By the time we made it back into west it was about 9:00 and I was sick, I had gone a litttle too long without eating. We went to a barbacue place were Andrew loves and had dinner. By the time we got back to our camp spot it was dark so Andrew and Drew enjoyed putting up the tent (ya I said tent) in the dark. They did a pretty good job, the next task was blowing up the air mattresses. We had two doubles and one single but the realized that our tent would only hold the doubles. Did I mention in the middle of the night mine went flat! GRRRRRRRRRRR! So I finally moved over by Andrew and slowly through the night the girls got cold and came by us. By morning no one was in the same spot the went to sleep in. Some how Drew got pushed onto the flat one and doesn't remember a thing. Brooklyn thought the whole camping experience was pretty cool especially sleeping in her princess sleeping bag.
The next morning we go up and went into town to walk through the shops. Drew and Andrew had been dying to get some fudge and we planning on getting it this day, but little did we know the candy shop is closed on Sunday (as it should be). So Drew decided to get a sheeps fur (GROSS), which he thought was pretty cool. Over all it was an enjoyable weekend!!

Brooklyn's 3rd Birthday

We celebrated Brooklyn's 3rd and my dads 50th birthday out at the house. Brooklyn from previous posts is all in to princesses so her birthday was pretty much based around it!! We had a barbacue and cake and ice cream and presents.
