Sorry...

Well, I've been terrible about posting new things lately. We haven't fallen off the face of the Earth or anything, it's just difficult coming up with the time/gumption to post. Lame excuse, I know. We have some really fun things that we have done lately so I'll make sure that I post pictures about that.
Things have been difficult over the past couple of weeks with the pregnancy. I have been having terrible hip/joint pain (no doubt because of the large baby head putting pressure there.) I haven't been able to get any housework done because of the pain it causes me. Luckily, I don't have too much longer to go. I'm due in two weeks from today and have been assured by my doctor that he will not let me go as long as I did with Cloe. Also, things have been progressing with me. I am dialated to a 1 and 80% effaced, not too bad considering I was only 25% effaced a week ago. I am still having lots of contractions too. Ben doesn't think I'll make it to my due date, but it's really just a waiting game at this point. We'll keep you updated.
Also, I'm huge! Haha! I'll get Ben to take a picture of me so I can post it. I'm even bigger than I was with Cloe!

What Cloe is Thankful For...

Lately Cloe has gotten really good at saying the prayer. She always wants her own turn to do it. She needs a little help starting, but then she just takes off. She will say " thank you for..." and then add whatever she wants (usually she is grateful for anything in her immediate area). Some of the things she has been grateful for recently are (in her own words): 2 cows, all the windows, a big ball and a little ball and another little ball, a red wall, trees that shake, etc. I love that she is learning to be thankful for everything but we really have to reign her in sometimes because she will just keep going. We have been trying to teach her to say "thank thee" but she has a hard time remembering. She catches on quick though.
A couple of Sundays ago, Ben was helping bless the sacrament. Cloe recognized his voice over the microphone and was really excited. As soon as he finished she shouted "Good job, Daddy!", Ben had to try pretty hard not to laugh, and even the bishop cracked a smile. She is so much fun and always keeps our family laughing.
