Car Wash Date

Well Summer is finally here! Friday night Taylor and a bussy went motorcyling riding up cascade. So it was just McGuire and me... so I decided to have him help me wash my car.. It keeps us busy and out of the house.. and it was a good way to cool down from a busy day!

He had more fun with the bubbles!

Cheese!

He's a teaser and likes to get bubbles on mom!

On Saturday we went to Derek's (Taylor's brother) reception in Sandy, we had to eat out afterwards as a reward for McGuire. In and Out Burger was our choice! So Good!!

Cheese with the coolest hat ever on!!

Great Grandpa Daggs

Derek Daggs got married in the SLC temple last week, which means family come into town! We were so excited to see old family and friends, having a time of our lives!

One we were really excited about, Great Grandpa Daggs. He recently moved to Tennessee after he wife had passed a few years ago. We got to spend last night with him, went out to dinner and had a good talk with him. McGuire hadn't ever met his Great Grandpa, so he was really excited!!!

They were at our house before we got there from work and daycare, I had to remind McGuire that he is a very old guy and needs to be respectful and quiet around him. Not gonna lie, I was really scared that he was going to be the excited terror that he usually is when he meets someone new.

He was an Angel!!!! I think he knew that Great Grandpa Daggs is a someone very special and to enjoy every moment with him.

This is McGuire sneaking up to him, figuring him out

Grandpa Daggs and McGuire were playing Angry birds on Grandma Laura's phone.

Mcguire was inseperable from Great G-pa Daggs that night from then on out!

We were so excited to have him come by and visit! We wish he didn't live so far away!

Til next time!

Its friday time for a laugh!

I was at lunch with my wonderful hubby and got a text from my sister...

I couldn't stop laughing!!!

Happy Friday everyone!

Baby Update: Week 24

16 more weeks until this little wiggle wart is coming!!!

We went to the Doc Monday for my monthly check up... she's doing great, heart beating stronger than ever and wiggling tons too! She's an active little girl, which is perfect for an active family!

I had to take a Glucose test... the lord is testing me and my will power I guess, I didn't pass...
Time to go to the Hospital and take an even longer test and with out eating also.. Not too thrilled about this. Doc said there is nothing I could have done to avoid this... These things happen and she had a hunch it was going to happen since I have had too much sugar in my urine and blood that last 3 times I've been there.

So Tuesday doing another Glucose test to see if I am Gestational Diabetic. That news was such a bummer to me. Oral meds would probably be the result of controling it and a fixed diet. If  I have Gestational Diabetes I will not know how to handle my cravings at all... No more Ice Cream, cotton candy, yummy fatty foods, well you get the idea...

My honest feelings about this whole diabetic thing is that I am failing as a mother and caretaker of the child I am caring...  I have slacked horribly on the good eating, good exercise idea. I'm going to get my butt into gear... but I still can't avoid this matter.

Taylor has been such a great support system for me thru this whole thing, he'll bend over backwards for me and make sure that I am comfortable and cravings are met (to an extent) and McGuire has been such a champ for being patient with me.

Results soon... cross your fingers, I sure am!

Just like Daddy

Ever since we've moved, gotten comfortable and McGuire realized that there really is a baby in mommy's tummy.. He's been daddy's little man, almost attached to the hip.

He would rather be with daddy now then with me... Sad for me good for Taylor! They build things together, do yard work together, watch motorcross and monsterjam together... This morning as we were heading to day care, he saw his daddy heading to work and he said quietly to himself.. "I wish I could go to work with daddy."

My heart melted, I'm so happy that they are finally getting to that relationship! :)

One night as I was making dinner, I see this figure in the corner of my eye. McGuire wanted to be just like dad and wanted to put his work boots on... He says to me, "Look mom! I'm just like dad! I'm going to work, see you ta-morrow!"

Just another crazy day with the Daggs' family

Latest obsession

So lately Mcguire and I have been really obsessed with birds! He loves to chase them away from our yard... Which is fine until he's clear across the street in the neighbors yard (not my cup of tea)

So I politely told him to not scare the birds, they just want to eat some worms.... Worked like a charm.
If you ever see us just staring at our yard, or the sky it because McGuire and I have this obsession with robins and how they work...

Well at the Clinic we have had a brve little robin put her nest right in front of the main entrance, its about level to my hip to see them. She's a brave little thing. But is was great entertainment for me to watch the transissions of the eggs, to chicks, to birds... here's the pics!

Eggs... There were 4 orginally, but the 4th must have been bad, momma let it fall out of nest

Just a doy or two old.. so ugly they are cute :)

About a week old... They thought I had food... LOL

About another week later... Momma bord was swooping at me, so I was more distant this time around.

Last day of them in the nest... 2 1/2 weeks old!

I'm absolutely amazed on how fast they changed and now they are out and about on the yard eating some worms. They stay in the group and never leave each other behind... so cute to watch!

What an amazing world we live in!

Vapor rub is a great thing

So during both pregnancies I have a severe case of restless legs, I have them all the time when I'm just normal with no human growing also. But during pregnancy it is like a million times worse.

I asked my dr. She suggested to take Unisom to help me relax at night. If you know me and drugs.. 1st off I absolutley HATE taking them unless I have to, and I'm super sensitive. 1/2 of those things and I am a walking Zombie for 2 days after...

So I looked it up on the internet, and old wives tell said to try vapor rub on the feet, in between toes and ankles. One night it got sooo bad I couldn't stand it. Taylor thought I was the craziest person alive. He couldn't believe me. I was up for anything. Guess what, almost instantly relief!!!!!

Now I am OBSESSED with Vapor rub. When we were moving, our lasat night at our parents house I had restless legs... well vapor rub was gone at the new house. I was not a happy camper!

I also have a cold right now, can't stand that I can't breathe thru my nose... yup vapor rub right under my nose.... Call me crazy but sleep with my mouth open is a no go for me, I'd rather have a sleepless night.

That's my little 2 cents on vapor rub, its a cheap miracle rub :)
Happy sleeping!!!
