5 more weeks to go YIPEE!!!!!!!

I finally decided that it would be good for my family to see my budda belly since I am away from home. So far since the last time I saw the DR which was a few weeks ago I have only gained 15 pounds, I have no facial or body swelling. So far I have been very blessed. The only thing I can complain about is that I am getting bigger, but not as big as I was with the other two. I can't sleep and have to pee like 3 times a night. I have heartburn so I have to sleep pretty much sitting up. But I think all together this last few weeks havn't been that bad!!! I was WAY sick at first but I got over that at about 7 months. We are so excited for this little one to come and I think we are down to two names which are Braden and Jacob so I guess we will see what happens. I am so excited for my mom to fly out in a few weeks so she can be here with us, I just hope that I don't go early. But at least if I do go early there will be a baby boy waiting here for her. We also get Lances mom for a week and that will be exciting also. It is nice to have family to count on especially when we live so far away. I love you all!!!!!

Pumpkin Carving Time!!!!

Brinlee and her smilee face pumpkin, she didn't want hers to scary.
Dad helping Braxton with his pumpkin. Lance loves this stuff which I am so glad because it is all a little gross and slimy for me. He is such a good Daddy.

Braxton and his Pirate Pumpkin. Lance did a dang good job on this one. I started and then I got mad so he took over.

It was so fun to have Big Mike over (that is what the kids call him). He is so good with the kids and so much fun to have around!!! Come over more often Mike it sure is nice to have you over!!!! By the way his pumpkin was Michael Myers from the Halloween movies you can't really tell here but in the dark it was pretty awesome!!

Braxton also brought home a pumpkin from school today. We let him carve it himself he did a great job!!!

My little computer nerd

I love it that my kids are so into the computer. Brinlee learns so much from it and all the cute games on Playhouse Disney are so educational. I was so excited also that I finally have some hair on her head that I can curl, she looks so big!!!!

Sunday afternoon

Yesturday after church on the nice 1 hour ride home Braxton asked me what we could do that afternoon. I told him whatever you want. So he then told me that he just wanted to lay on the couch and watch a movie with Brinlee. So here they are watching a movie together.

Grammie and Papa come to Visit

We had Grammie and Papa here this last week and the kids loved every minute of it!!! The Sunday they were here Kevy and Binny and the Girls came over for dinner it was so nice to visit together and just to hang out!!!!

One night after Brinlee's bath she told Papa how to play hide and seek just in case he didn't already know. Then she wanted to play go fish but with 12 cards (that were not go fish cards) Papa was having a hard time going fish. So she just put her entire hand down and said there we go Papa!!!!She loves her papa!!!

Lizzy got a Leapster from Grammie and Papa for her birthday and Brinlee already had one so they were just so content to lay on Brinlee's bed and play thier leapsters.

Nellie just wanted to stay right on the Princess scooter she looks soo big!!!!


So the girls thought it was cool to ride Brinlee's bike down the hill at the school and then they would help each other pull it back up, it was the cutest thing ever. They get along so well I am so glad that they have each other!!!! It is nice to have Kevy and Binny here with us I love it!!!!

My little Dunker

So Brinlee loves to dunk everything into milk!!! Cookies especially the double stuff oreos, graham crackers and my favorite the golden oreos. Just like Papa she is going to dunk it all!!!! She also washes her hands 50 times a day another trait I think she got from her Papa!! Gotta love them!!!!

Big Brother and Little Sis

Braxton loves to read to his little sister I think it is the cutest thing ever!!! I mostly think he does it so he can stay up later but I know he loves her!!!

Thanks!!!!

Thanks so much for all the input on the Baby's name it has been helpful!! I think we are down to Braden and Jacob. Lance brought up the name Jacob the other day and he really likes it!!! So we will see maybe when he comes out what he looks like. I hate to do that I love to be all planned, but until I get a definate from Lance I have to be patient. After all he is the one that will bless it and can change it. But all I know is that if it is Jacob I will want another just to even out the different name, I always wanted 4 anyhow!!! But this pregnancy has been harder than the other two so we will have to see!!! I just found out also that I have a tiny bit of Diabetes but not too bad so that made me feel better. I just have to watch a little of what I eat. But only 2 months to go and then it goes away YEAH!!!! The baby had the hiccups for the first time yesturday that I could feel which was really neat!!! I am getting way excited for him to get here!!!!

Any ideas?????

So Lance and I are having the hardest time deciding on a name for this little baby boy!!! I think it is part our fault because I don't want him the odd man out so it has to be a name that starts with BR. Brax Brin that was soooo our fault!!!!! Anyhow if you have heard any cute BR names I am open to suggestions I have looked online and in books I am at a total loss!!! The only name Lance will give me is CHUCK!!!!! YEAH RIGHT!!!!! Anyhow let me know what you think!!!!!

Funny things my kids say

One day Braxton came home and said Mom I HATE kickball some of the kids throw so hard see my ear it has blood on it. So I told him that is how the game is played sorry. A couple days later he came home and told me how he got one of his classmates out by throwing the ball at her. She was bugged at him and I guess got upset, so he tells me that he just wanted to say to her "Welcome to my World!!!!"

The other day I was getting Brinlee ready. She goes to put her pants on and says, "Mom these pants are so marvelous!!!"

All the kids at Braxtons school drink caffine and one day Braxton asked well why can't I. So I explained how we have been asked not to by the church and he said well Dad does. I said I know we need to keep bugging Dad so that he won't do it anymore. So the kids have been really good at keeping Dad on track. The other day we were at Sams and Lance went to get some Red bull or something and Brinlee says to him "Daddy you don't need Caffine!!!!!" I am glad they harass him now!!!!!!

I am so happy to have such fun kids!! They say the funniest things sometimes and no better way to share them than over my blog!!!!!

If I had pictures to update with Trust me I would!!!!

I am being harassed for not updating but I am telling you we live the simple life remember we are out here in a simple little town!!!!!! I guess I can tell you what goes on each day out here in our little town of Tipton!!!!! Lance works at the school everyday and loves every minute of it. He tells me everyday that he comes home how much he loves his job, I tell you the boys love him also. He is also the Ward Financial/Membership clerk which he does a fantastic job at. He loves to read and I think since we have been out here he has burned through like 20 books!!!!! I am just a stay at home mom. I do some insurance billing for a billing company but mostly I take care of the kids. I am the Relief Society 1st counselor, I also teach Seminary once a week which has been a HUGE challenge but I am sure I am being blessed in return. I have to drive one hour to teach so that has been a struggle also. But I know the Lord watches out for me. I know I am where I am suppose to be right now if my life. The baby boy inside of me is growing healthy and strong I am the smallest with him unlike my other two. I am being induced if he doesn't come early on December 8th I live about 1 1/2 hours from the hospital. We are so excited for him and we are pretty well ready with the things that we need, now all we have to do according to Brinlee is go the "hostible" and get him out!!!!!! Braxton is doing soooo well in school and I am very proud of him he loves to play basketball but most of all play the playstation 3. Brinlee is the sweetest thing ever most of the time I don't know she is there because she is so good at playing by herself. She loves school and is also doing really well. Our days are pretty simple but most of all we get to spend alot of time together, and I know that it has helped our family a ton. I really believe that being here and slowing down has brought us closer together. I am thankful for the opportunity to be here and I know that my kids have grown from it also!!!! So that is the day and the life of the Leavitt Family in the little town of Tipton Kansas!!!!!!
