Ok, first of all, thanks to all of you for voting on my poll and even more thanks for picking Landon over Ammon! I think I have convinced Jason that Ammon is a not what we should name this child, but it wasn't easy!
He has now come up with a new name that I must admit I don't hate, but I think I still like Landon better. The name is Jordan...now I like the name Jordan, but my fear is that it has become more popular for girls in the last little while. I'm not sure why this a big deal, but it's my only argument against Jordan and for Landon.
So, if you would, take a couple of seconds and vote in my poll for which name you like better, or leave a comment and let me know...Thanks!

Look at My Grass!
So, if any of you have moved into a new house and have had to finish the backyard, you know how happy I am right now! We have grass in our backyard, yay! Jason has been working on this darn yard for a month and a half now and we are finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.
You may look at it and think, "why is it taking him so long?" Well, if you had seen this yard when we moved in, you would know why. He had to do a ton of work. He had to level it out a ton because there was such a steep grade, that took a while, then it was terrible dirt, so we had to get some topsoil and he had to bring it back one wheelbarrow full at a time and let me tell you, we have a long driveway! He had to put in all the sprinklers and attatch them to the pipe in the front yard. On top of this, he has been working on the front and side yards laying bark and planting flowers. What a man, right?!
Obviously, there is still some work to be done, we are going to plant some flowers and trees and stuff, but I am just exicted about the grass! We hung out back there last night and the kids thought it was great! Thanks Jason for working so hard, you're the best!

Tagged (Sort of)
Ok, so I wasn't officially tagged, but sort or, Michelle put in her blog whoever else wants to do it, and since I've noticed most of my blog is about my cute kids, I figured it might not be a bad thing to post something about me, so here we go!
3 Joys:
Hearing my kids laugh really hard
Just spending time with my family
Sleeping well and sleeping in (this hasn't happened for a long time!)
3 Fears:
Something happening to me and not being able to raise my kids with Jason (not that he wouldn't do a good job, but...you know what I mean!)
Anything bad happening to my children
Hurting other people without realizing it
3 Goals:
Being able to adjust to three kids without too much trouble (only ten weeks to go!)
Looking like I did in college after I have this baby (I can dream right? Lia I might need some advice on this one!)
Spend more quality time with Jason and let him know how important he is to me
3 Current Obsessions:
Trying to keep my house clean most of the time (I'm doing pretty good!)
Decorating this house (You would think we have been in for a month and a half now that it would be done, but I still have a lot to hang on the walls!)
Reading/working out (I do these at the same time, so I figured they could go together!)
3 Surprising/Random Facts
I have never had any debt except for a car when we first got married that we paid off in three or four month and houses of course!
I am a little obsessive compulsive when it comes to cleaning and Jason has a love hate relationship with that quality of me!
Jason and I are never going to agree on a name for this baby, he wants Ammon :( and I want Landon :) I guess I shouldn't say never, we didn't agree on a name for Brynn until she was two and a half days old so there's hope, hope that I will win that is!
Ok, now I am supposed to tag other people so...I tag whoever wants to do this!

Put the Kitty Back in the Zoo
After church today we went to the community garden to pick all of our ripe tomatoes. While we were there we noticed for the first time about six apple trees by the garden, so Jason picked one for Jaxon thinking they would still be sour, but I tasted the apple and it was delicious. So, tonight after dinner, we took a walk to the apple trees to get a couple more apples.
There is a nice grassy area by the garden, so we sat for a while and ate our apples. Well, Jaxon decided to climb the hill by where we were which has tall grass and flowers covering the hill. Well, we got about 3/4 of the way up the hill when he froze in his tracks and started shouting, "An animal! An animal!" Jason jumped up as fast as he could because he was thinking it was something bad like a snake or something. Jaxon came down the hill and explained to us that it was a kitty cat.
By this point I was laughing so hard that I almost peed my pants (pregnancy bladder!). So, Jason decided to go up the hill to see what it really was that was up there and sure enough, it was a cat. After Jason came back down the hill Jaxon looked at us and said, "You need to call someone to come take the cat back to the zoo!"
I'm not sure if this story will be as funny to all of you as it is to me, but maybe you just had to be there because it was hilarious!
