Peyton's Kiwanis Terrific Kid Award...

I am so proud of Peyton (our son). He is doing so great in school this semester! He was recognized at Friday Assembly at school today for the Kiwanis Terrific Kid Award in 4th grade. He has shown leadership, accomplishments, reached goals and so much more. Not to mention his grades are all A's and B's this semester! He received a certificate, bumber sticker, pin and other prizes. I am so proud of my little guy!!!! Way to make your momma proud! :o) Good Job, Peyton!

5 1/2 Months Pregnant and Feeling It!

Tomorrow I am exactly 5 1/2 months pregnant. Gosh, this pregnancy has really flown by so far. I haven't really felt pregnant until now... I'm tired a lot and getting bigger by the day. Sleep... what's that?! LOL I cannot get comfortable at all. Oh how I would love just one good, full night's sleep! We are so excited about little Khloe... we cannot wait to see her adorable little face!! Only a few more months... :o) Today, I found the perfect nursery furniture at The Baby's Room in Rogers... I love that place!! Unique, high quality baby stuff... I spent hours there! LOL I also decided on the fabrics that I love so much to have all of her bedding, valances and chairs custom made. I can't wait to see her room! I love the pale pinks, chocolates, soft greens and tans. I'm choosing more modern decor for her nursery - rather than a themed nursery (yuck!). That way the colors and style will grow with her and we won't be changing it a million times as she grows older. I'm excited about seeing the finished product. I, also, opted not to do white nursery furniture... instead I'm doing an elegant espresso finish. Modern. Classy. Adorable. I'll post pictures when it comes in... won't be until April, though. :o)

It's a GIRL!!

On February 6th at 10:00am, we we went to our Ultrasound at my doctor's office. We finally found out what the gender of our baby is... it's a GIRL! We were hoping for a boy, but are happy now that we are having a precious little girl. Life is going to change so much when she arrives... afterall, I have been the only female in a house of two males for quite some time. I think a little girl will be good for all of us. LOL The only bad thing is that Kevin wanted another little boy so bad and still has not given up on the idea of having that boy. He's already trying to convince me to immediately start trying for that boy after our little girl is born. Wooow, Slow down, Jack. Ugh... we're going to have to discuss this. Not sure I want to go for round 3. Yikes! Peyton turned 10 years old in November, so this whole starting over thing is hard on me. LOL Kevin will be so thrilled that he gave me a girl... just wait! He's already trying to play the overprotective daddy to her. No boy is allowed to change her diaper when she is born... just him. He won't let me post the u/s pics of her "hoo hoo." His behavior is cracking me up... and it will only get worse! Ha ha! We have decided that we are going to name our baby girl, Khloe Elizabeth Yingst. It has been my chosen name for years! I found her name in the bible (Chloe) about 3 years ago and that was God's way of saying she will be little Khloe! :o) Our DUE DATE is July 2nd (our Anniversary week). I hope she's not born on the 4th of July... the doctor's said she will probably come early. Peyton was born right on his Due Date. Kevin thinks she will arrive on June 28th and I feel that her birthday will be June 27th. We'll see... any guesses??? I cannot believe that we are already 5 1/2 mos pregnant. Wow... time flies!

Pregnant and Unknowing on our Vacation to California in October!

It has been forever since I've updated my blog. Sorry! LOL Kevin and I found out in November that we were expecting. We had just gotten back from a long trip to Yosemite, San Francisco and Napa Valley, California in October. I had NO IDEA I was pregnant when I was on that trip. I'm sure hiking the huge mountains every day in Yosemite and then spending our last week in WINE COUNTRY was not particularly good for a growing baby. Yikes! LOL We found out that we had actually conceived in early October... our trip was October 10-20. Oops! LOL I didn't feel pregnant, so I had no way of knowing. :o) It was a great time... I'll post pics. The first part of the trip we spent with Kevin's parents and our son (he was a lucky little guy... he got to miss several days of school because of it. But, the way we saw it was that is was more educational to visit the amazing mountains and bears in Yosemite and the Golden Gate Bridge and fast life in San Francisco than to be doing math equations stuck behind a school desk. LOL They were with us the first 5 days... after they flew home, we went on to Napa Valley. It was amazing. We loved that part of the country! Very serene! We visited all the vineyards sampling their best wines and went on romantic bike rides in the smaller part of the city (country rather). We had a great time!
