34 Years Young!

If you go back about a month, I celebrated, yet another birthday.  It's funny how they seem to come every year even when you really don't need to have another one.  This year I turned 34 years old!  EEK!!!  I can't be that old, I don't feel that old...  What does 34 suppose to feel like????  Anyways, I feel good and I have the most precious possessions in the world...  My family...  I'm thankful for them each and everyday and I know how lucky to have a wonderful husband that loves me unconditionally and two sweet kids that adore me...

 My family!  How did I get so lucky!

Scott surprised me with tickets to the Broadway play, Mary Poppins.... I LOVED it...  He even arranged for my sister, Jaime to come up and watch the kids.  It was great!  

On my birthday we decided to head down to Salt Lake and visit Temple Square.  Conference was the following weekend and we wanted Ethan to see where conference was held and visit the temple grounds.  

Boondocks!

 So we've had a Bookdocks was built 5 minutes from our house about 2 or maybe even 3 years ago and we finally went to check it out.  Ethan wanted to try bowling for his birthday...  so here we are!  We had a GREAT time!

Preschool.... ONE more year!

Ethan's last year of preschool...  Yep, this is his 3rd year.  We did a neighborhood, Joy school type preschool for the past two year, this year, he is going to Mini Explorers Preschool located a couple of streets away taught by a wonderful lady in my ward.  He is loving it and loves to eat lunch there and meet new friends!

Newman's Review

Ok, so it's been awhile and looking at my blog it has been over 2 months!  Our family has been busy and hopefully I will find the time to finally catch up with all the craziness...  Here is the going ons in the Newman's house these past 2 months...

• Ethan started preschool (his last year before kindergarten)! 
• Ethan had turned 5 years old! 
• Ethan has learned to ride his bike without training wheels!  He still has a hard time starting and stopping and needs to grow a little into his bike...  Hopefully, by spring he'll be off and riding and hopefully not getting hit by any cars :)
• Emma, after trying all summer, decided to finally learn to pedal her trike all by herself...
• Emma is doing much better in her big girl bed and will go right to sleep at night without coming out about 10-20 times...  YEAH!
• Emma still wakes up 2-3 times a week, but lately she has been doing very well with sleeping through the night.  I think she has nightmares sometimes that wakes her up, but thankfully, she goes right back to sleep!
• Scott is busy with work and is on a deadline!  He is to teach his first Beta class after Thanksgiving!  It's crunch time!
• Scott's grandmother passed away a month ago and travelled to California for the funeral.  We will miss you Grandma Shehorn!
• Me.. I celebrated, yet, another birthday... I wish I can honestly say I'm 25 again, but who am I kidding... 34 years old! 
• LOVE having Ethan into a preschool that I don't have to teach.  I love sending him off and not having to worry after 6 little munchkins!  Maybe, I'll have to try it next year with Emma... I know, she is going to be old enough for preschool next year!  Crazy!
• Finally....  April is going to be a fun month as we are going to welcome a new addition to the Newman's home...  Yes, we are expecting our 3rd little baby this spring.  I know, shocker, huh?!  I started blabbing the news to everyone when I couldn't hide the pudge anymore :)  didn't want anyone to get the wrong impression :)  We are excited and a little freaked out because it happened faster than we expected and it is the 3rd kid and we are going to be out numbered.  But... there's no going back, not that we would.  So now I'm almost 14 weeks along, but really looks like I'm 5 months along :)  but it's all good!

I'll be playing catchup with some new blog posts... stay tuned:)
