Santa Clause came to our church last Sunday! Sky and Kayala saw him and immediately recognized him as Santa Clause. They asked where his red hat was and his reindeer. They were so excited to see him at our church and wondered why he wasn't at the north pole, lol. After church Cade talked to him and it turns out he is a professional santa clause! He told us to tell Sky and Kayala that he is on vacation and he gave us this card to give to them. It was the coolest thing! Cade is thinking about being Santa when he gets older, lol.

They talked me into letting them take a bath in my big bathtub. It's crazy to think that Kayala was born in this tub and very soon our new little one will probably be born in this tub too. It makes me even more sad to leave our home, 2 of our babies were born here!

Sky and Kayala reading books together before bed time, aren't they little cuties!!! Sometimes Sky will read to Kayala, they love the Clifford books that talk about Clifford when he was a tiny puppy. Sky has some of them memorized and he'll read them to Kayala before bed. So cute and sweet!

Kayala is such a big girl! She is out of her crib and sleeping in a big girl bed! We have been putting her on Sky's bottom bed and she loves it! Her and Sky will fall asleep reading books, they don't get out of their beds, and they don't keep each other up. I can't believe it! Kayala has grown up too fast, she isn't a baby! We were looking at pictures and videos of Sky when he was Kayala's age and he was such a baby at this stage! he hardly talked, still had his binki and blankey, diapers, and had a little baby voice. Kayala is like she is 2 going on 5! I can't believe it!

Here is cute, goofy Sky :) While Kayala naps me and Sky get to hang out and goof around and read books. Then after a while he has a quiet time while I get a little bit of time to myself before Kayala wakes up. Sometimes Sky falls asleep and sometimes he doesn't.

Rough Housing with Daddy! Sky's favorite thing to do when Daddy gets home!






Carmel Popcorn and Movie Night!!!!! The Broderick Family Tradition!

Sky and Kayala earned all their beans up to the line on their bean jar and for their reward they wanted carmel popcorn and a movie. We watched the goofy movie and danced to the music afterward.

This picture was taken at 33 weeks, Now I am 34 weeks, only 6 more weeks to go! I ordered Dr. Christopherson's 6 week formula which is a bunch of awesome herbs in a pill form to prepare pregnant woman for birth. You start taking them 6 weeks before your due, I just got them in the mail today so it will be perfect because I turn 34 weeks tomorrow :) I'm am taking tons of pills and liquids like floradix and chlorophyll and I'm hoping and praying that it will help everything to run smoothly for the birth. I have gotten into a really good pill taking habbit and hope it will continue on after this pregnancy!

I am dying to find out what we are having! Our little mystery baby! I have had dreams that it is both a boy and a girl. Last night I had this crazy dream that I just gave birth to a baby boy but he was not a new born, he was more like 4 months old! He was huge and had black hair, lol. It's fun being pregnent and having all those crazy dreams! I think that not knowing what we are having and being so anxious to find out will give me something to think about other than contractions during the whole birth process. We'll see!

Cade is taking bords tomorrow and Sunday. Pray for him! He has been working and studying soooo hard. This morning he left at 8:00, didn't get home until 6:30 and he spent the whole time studying! I don't know how you can study that long! While he was working his tail end off studying me and the kiddos had a nice relaxing day at the park :)

We went to Zachary park and feed geese, crawdads, and big orange fish. The geese came so close and I was a little nervous because I heard they can be pretty vicious but they didn't attack, so that was good.

I feel bad, I didn't get any pics of Sky, I should have got one when he climbed to the top of the giant spiderweb! He was having so much fun playing he didn't want to stop and pose for a picture.

The weather has been so nice these past few days! It has been overcast with a nice cool breeze. I am really excited for fall! It is so beautiful here during the fall with all the beautiful leaves changing colors. And there are lots of pumpkin patches and festivals to go to. Sky and Kayala are already talking about what they want to be for halloween. Today we saw pumpkins at the grociary store and we passed the holloween candy and when Sky saw all the different kinds of candy he told me his favorite part of halloween is trick or treating!

And just think, this halloween we will probably have a new little pumpkin of our own! :)

Sky built this lincoln log house all by himself! This was in January, he got these lincoln logs from his Gramy Nielsen for Christmas. I was so shocked when I saw this perfect cozy little log cabin he had built with his own hands!!!!

My Beautiful Kiddos!!!! I love them all dressed up on Sundays! Sky has been bringing his Book of Mormon to church every sunday because the primary is occasionally rewarding the children who bring their scriptures with gum for "Chewsing" to bring their scriptures.

Grants Farm!

We finally made it over to Grants Farm. It has been so nice with Cade on a little break, he starts school again on wednesday and then takes bords the next weekend. It was nice to go out together as a family and we all had a pretty good time. We got to ride a tram! On our ride we saw deer, donkeys, zebras, ostrages, ducks, swans, fish, and elk. We were able to see a really fun elephant show, a bird show and Sky and Kayala got to pet and brush the goats. They had bottles there you could feed the goats and now Sky wants to save up his money so we can go back and he can buy a bottle to feed the goats with :) He's a cute boy. I feel bad because all the other children were feeding the goats with bottles and everyone else had snow cones and pop corn and ice cream and our kiddos had nothing. But they were great! They didn't wine or fus, they were just grateful to be there and see the animals.

POTTY TRAINED!!!!!

Kayala is POTTY TRAINED!!!! I can't believe it! For a while it seemed like she was peeing all the time on the floor and then all of a sudden it clicked! The past few days we have been busy and going places so she has been in her diaper. When we got home she had no desire to pee on the potty or even wear panties. Then she saw a bag of starburst Cade got for young mens to motivate them during class to participate. Anyways, she saw them and that was the motivation she needed to pee on the potty. So right away she took off her diaper and all evening she would run to the potty all by herself every time she needed to go potty, she even pooped on the potty all by herself! Haleluia! No more having to sit there with her for hours reading her books hoping that she will pee, or having her sit on the potty at the table while she is eating, lol. I'm so glad it finally klicked! Now we'll have to see if she wakes up dry in the mornings and after naps. But the great thing is she forgot about the starburst and was happy with vitamin C's and nemo gummy vitamins for her treats, hehehe, But when she pooped she and Sky both got brownies!!!!
