It's not official until it's on the blog

We are having a baby!  I think currently I am 25 weeks along.  Baby is due sometime around August 10th.  We are not finding out the gender of baby number 4 but my bet is boy.  Ryan says girl.  I don't know if he is saying that just to disagree with me or if he really believes it.  Either way one of us will be right!

Here is a picture of baby at 14 weeks.  A little alien looking I know but still kind of cute.  These pictures are just taken with my phone because I was too lazy to scan them in, thats why you can see my thumb in the corner.

This is a picture at 24 weeks.  This time baby is a little less alien looking and more cute.  When we had the ultrasound we could see baby sticking its tongue out and putting fingers in.  Already a thumb sucker!

I don't have any profile baby bump pictures.  We are really bad at documenting that.  I always feel weird telling Ryan to take a picture of me.  Anyway this is pretty much the only picture I have to show that I  really am pregnant.  This was taken Christmas afternoon right in the middle of the first (so sick I want to die) trimester.

I am much much better. Baby is growing big and healthy.  We are excited to have another child and feel very grateful for this blessing.  Life is good.

Things that make me smile

Olivia started sleeping in her big kid bed... sort of.

Blinking and smiling competitions.

More Vacation Pictures

So here are some perfect moments we had while visiting family.

Ice cream eating

Kite Flying

Coloring

Wearing Daddy's shoes

Cooking lessons (we all know she doesn't get those at home!)

Moving watching in Green Lantern glasses

Piggy back riding

Book shopping

Drinking fountain attempts

Picture posing

It was a great trip.  We were sad to leave but are happy to be home.

Easter and some fun

For Easter this year Ryan had a little time off so we used it as an excuse to drive to Utah.  We might have considered flying but Olivia turned two only a few weeks earlier.  Meaning, we now have to pay for her ticket.   A family of five on a holiday weekend wasn't in our student budget.  Hopefully we will be able to afford such luxuries when Ryan gets rich and famous!

I couldn't get a decent picture of all three of them and was getting kind of frustrated with them at the time. Now looking back at this picture I wouldn't change a thing.  I love those goofs.

Here is our decent picture I guess.  See the first one really is better and more true to life.

All of the Hylton family together.  This is the first time since my youngest brother James left on his mission.  

After doing an easter egg hunt at my parents we had another with Ryan's family.  This is all the Bartholomew cousins.  We kind of have the monopoly in this department.  

Olivia and Papa

Some eggs had better treats than others!

Though it kind of depends on your preference!  Olivia was happy to trade her dollars for nerds.

Later on in the week we went up to Temple Square.

I was going to post a picture of our wedding day standing on this step, next to this picture of our kids playing on the step but it turned out to be effort to try and find the picture.  And I really hate effort! So just imagine Ryan and me 7 years younger and smiles about as big as these kiddos.

It wouldn't be a trip to the Bartholomews without some bowling.  Kaitlynn has decided she is too big for the kid ramp.  She was really funny to watch, her form wasn't the best but she did score higher than anyone else on that lane!

Jacks thing lately is dinosaurs.  We had to make a trip out to the Dinosaur museum while we were out there. He was in heaven

Ryan, his dad and his younger brother Cameran were just big kids when it came to the erosion room.  They were the only adults playing in the dirt.

Ryans parents, Ann and Ray with their grandkids.

All of the Bartholomew clan minus Jordan.  He is on a mission in California and will be coming home in August.
