Real Food?

I took the kids out for a walk this evening. The mosquito's were eating us up. Abbey was getting a few, and quite bothered by them, as was I.
Abbey asked me: "How many mosquito bites do you have mom?"
Me: "I have a few on my arms."
Abbey: "stupid mosquito's!" .............. "Why can't they learn to eat real food?" ................ "All they eat is BLOOD, BONES and MILK!!" ............ "Oh my gosh!"

Today's Funnies

Today in the car Abbey was talking about my sister's friend who is deaf. Abbey said "Lindsey's friend speaks deaf...........Not Spanish"

At the dinner table tonight Abbey said "If we didn't have bones, we would get all soggy."

We ate our tomatoes out of our garden. Abbey tried them and said "These taste JUST right!"

Abbey loves the movie Toy Story. She likes to repeat lines from the movie. One line is "you saved our lives, we are eternally grateful"
After I made dinner Abbey said " You made us dinner, I am eternally grateful."

At the parade

Abbey was in the Farmington Parade for her dance class. She road on a decorated trailer pulled by a pick up. She got to wave pom poms and throw candy.
Jaden loved the parade! He still talks about it, and wants to go again. He loved seeing Abbey and talks about how Abbey was in the parade.

Baby and mom update

Today I went to my doctor appt.
-I am 31 weeks and a couple days along, but Brigham is measuring about 34 weeks along.
-I have lost 8 pounds, so I have only gained 6 pounds this whole pregnancy! I am very happy about that!!
-I am now taking meds for my diabetes
-Because of my diabetes and taking insulin I am considered high risk the doctor wants me to come once a week now, and when I do go, I will do a non stress test every time. A Non stress test, test your babies movement and heart rate. you lay down for about a half hour with a belly monitor on.
-I have been feeling TONS of pressure lately, and cramps. But my doctor checked me and I haven't dilated yet. Thank goodness!

Update on the Wyatt's

Robby:
*Is busy like always, he is always doing something.
*He has a fight (competition) coming up July 17th in Provo. This is will be his first fight in like 2 or so years. This is not a pro fight. Kinda too bad it's not a pro fight, but maybe a good thing, since he is kinda rusty and old.
*I am hopping that Robby will finish our floor (that we started 5 months ago) will get finished soon.

Me:
*I am 30 1/2 weeks along now! 10 weeks or less to go.
*I was diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes. I was put on a strict diet. But, I haven't been as strict as my doc wants me to be. If I only ate what she wants me to eat, I would eat the same food every day, and it would be so hard! I haven't got my meter yet, so I am not too sure how my blood sugar is going. I should get it today. Hopefully!
*I am a little nervous that this baby will get big! I mean, I already have big babies, I don't want them to get any bigger.
*The good news, being on this diet, I have lost 4 pounds in the past week and a half.

Abbey:
*Is 3 going on 14. She is getting this attitude, and reminds me of a teenager. She is still my little helper/mommy.
*She is still in dance and loves it! This Saturday she will be riding a float in the Farmington Parade. (for her dance class)
*She loves to color, draw, play with her babies and ride her bike.
*She is always singing and telling stories.
*Oh and she loves practicing her cartwheels, back bends, and hand stands.

Jaden:
*Is in his terrible 2's. He isn't so terrible. He is very rambunctious! I swear he has ADD. He is non stop, Go, Go, Go!
*He loves gymnastics!
*He loves cars, trains, planes, trucks, balls and sprinklers. He is a water baby and always wants to be in it.
*He likes bugs, dirt, and rocks. He is all boy!
*The other day he picked up a dragon fly (dead) and was showing every one. He was holding it out to every one at Robby's work saying "BUG! AHHH!"
*Then the other day he ate a chip full of ants. when he finished it, he came to me and said "BUGS! MMMM!"
*Yesterday he came inside and opened his mouth and he was eating grass. He looked at me and rubbed his belly and and made the "aaaahhhh!" like yum!
*In the past Month and a half Jaden has had 4 unexplained fevers, ear infection, sinus infections, and bronchitis. He has had 2 different antibiotics and he just seemed not to kick these sicknesses. His bronchitis was getting into his lungs and they were worried it would turn to pneumonia. They had to give him a different stronger antibiotic. Then he has had swollen lymph nodes around his neck and back of his neck. The ones on the back of his neck have been there at least 4 months. They were concerned about the lymphs and him not being able to fight these infections and getting sick all the time. They wanted him to see the ENT doctor so they could look at the lymps, because they looked kinda worrisome, and they said it could be nothing, or chronic infections or cancer. When I heard that, I was a horrible wreck with fear!
Jaden had a blessing, but I was still in doubt, I thought for sure he had cancer. But today he went to the doctor and every thing came back good. His enlarged tonsils are causing bacteria to sit trapped and that is why he gets sick easy, and cant fight off the sicknesses.
If his lymph nodes don't' go down in a month or he is still getting sick, they will take out his tonsils, but they would like to wait until he is 3. But I am so relieved!

Brigham:
*yes, we finally decided on Brigham.
*When ever I tell any one what we are naming him, they get silent after, and just nod their head. But we like it, so we will stick with it.
*so far he is good. He moves like crazy all the time! (another wild boy)

We had a great long 4th of July weekend. We saw Toy story 3, had 2 BBQ's, saw and did fireworks, spent the night at my parents and just had a good ole time! I didn't take one single picture. Dang it.
Jaden was a hoot at the fire works! He loved them. He talked non stop "BOOM" "More" "Again" "Lights" "hot" laughing through the whole thing. I loved watching him.

family reunion

We had our Granger family reunion at Hidden canyon ranch Near Great Basin National Park and Lehman caves in Nevada. It was a long drive in the complete desert, but once we got there, it was a lot of fun. I just put up a bunch of pictures of the reunion. They are out of order, but oh well. (I stole some pictures from my cousin Ashlie)
This the the place we stayed.
Abbey and cousin Cole danced the night away. They were so cute! Thanks to Ashlie, she got some great pictures.

Jaden wanted to ride the 4 wheeler all day.
