Well, the baby dropped last Thursday and it was very visible. I woke up and I don't even look pregnant any more. Before I was carrying the baby so high that it was obvious that I was pregnant and that I was due soon, but now I hardly look it. This baby has decided that it likes the pelvis region and I think it is there to stay until delivery.
I know this does not mean that I am going to have the baby any time soon, but man does this baby out a lot of pressure on my pelvis. It makes getting up and down a lot harder and taking stairs is a long process. I still don't really have much to complain about because from what I hear about other women talking about their pregnancies I still have it easy, and I would agree with that! I had a Dr appointment on Tuesday and of course he said everything is fine and not to worry about the baby dropping. The baby is in the right position and it still might even move around a bit more he said. I don't think so, I think it is comfortable or is stuck there. Either way things are going great and we will have this baby in about 6 more weeks. Can you believe it?
Not much more to update on until the baby comes. We are still looking for name for both a boy or a girl. (Names that beginning with E or J)

So, I don't know why I just remembered this today, but I did not post any information on Kenya at 2 years old. At her check up she was in the 80% for height (34ish inches) and 70% for weight at 27 lbs. She talks like crazy and has been using full sentences since before we got back from China. She is a smart one! I just wanted to document this while I still remembered the specifics.

Random happenings from last week.
We had a fun filled week and did lots of activities because the weather was so nice. It sure made the week go by fast with all of the fun things we did.
I was doing laundry and then got to chatting on the phone with Kira and Kenya decided to help, which is nothing new, but then she began to put the clothes on. This was what she ended up with. I asked her several times if she wanted help getting her PJs off and she said no. Everything is on backward and the first time the shorts were on inside out too. Notice her sandals on over her footed jammies.
One morning Kenya just asked me to take a picture of her and Daddy. Here it is. SO CUTE!!
This was Kenya and my first picnic of the year. Windy, but so loved it!
This is the end of the same day. We made cupcakes for Family Home Evening and she got to help and love it!
Tuesday we went to Rexburg for a dentist and doctors appointment and then had lunch with Jena. Kenya loves visiting her! Sorry, no exciting pictures from then.
Thursday we had lunch with Daddy on the Green Belt and played with the geese and then went to the zoo with 4 other moms and kids. Here is Kenya walking with her friends. She loves having friends.
Friday we went to the Hildebrandt's house and play outside in the backyard and in Hannah's pool. These girls had so much fun! They played in the sun and pool for over 3 hours. Kenya has sun block on, but at the end of the day her face was a little burnt. I got some sun as well of course. That water was cold! I think it was only like 75 degrees at the most! This first picture is Kenya's reaction to the cold water! Oh so cute!
Last night I made lobster tails for dinner. It was yummy. This was my first time and if lobster comes on sale again like it did, I will for sure make it again.

Kite Festival 2011
Saturday, April 30,we went to the annual kite festival for the area. The first 30 minutes almost convinced to leave prematurely because there was no wind! We were feeling cheated (even though it was free or donation), eventually the wind did pick up and we had a good time watching kites of all shapes, sizes, colors, and characters dance in the air. We were treated to free hot dogs, soda, music, kite making, and ways to win prizes.
Kenya got a pinwheel, for the cause of stomping out child abuse, during a race to grab a pinwheel. The kids were to line up and at the drop of a man's hat run as fast as they could to get a pinwheel. Well, I, Robert, explained to Kenya what to do and when to go and showed her understanding by repeating what she needed to do. So once the hat dropped, instead of taking off in a sprint for the pinwheels she was so concerned about the man dropping his hat that she almost came in dead last out of at least 50 kids, many of which were smaller and younger than her. But her caring nature shone brightly. Even after she got a pinwheel she continued to worry about the man dropping his hat!
The next few pics are of Kenya flying a kite for the first time. We learned how to make it from some very helpful Boy Scouts.
When we first got there, since there wasn't any wind, Kenya went and played in the inflatable play palace. She enjoyed sliding down the entrance and bouncing on the inside.

Father's Day Weekend 2011 a Memorial for Daddy!
This is for those of you who do not have the blog address to our Pig Fest page and that might be interested in coming. For more updates and things to come on refer to the Pig Fest blog.
http://evanspigfest.blogspot.com/
Details are still very scares, but my mom has decided that Father's Day weekend is when she is going to do the memorial for my dad.
As far as I understand it, the celebrating is going to be a very much like our other Pig Fests, but without the pig in the ground. (This still might be undecided, I am not sure.) SO, bring things for camping, swimming in the creek, hiking, fishing, and having all kinds of good food and fun!
We are hoping that everyone who wants to come will come! There is not going to be a specific invite set out, so consider yourself invited.
The week before Memorial Day she is going to be traveling back from CT with Kira by car (it will take a few days). She said that she will need time to rest and prepare for the company and activities.
Lets make this the BEST one ever and try to get everyone to attend!!

Thoughts on the Latest World Event
Last night I received a text message from my sister telling me that Osama bin Laden had been killed by US forces. Of course the first thing I did was to "google" it. Sure enough many confirmed tid-bits on the matter, but no real details. Then within 30 minutes President Obama spoke on the matter live from the White House and confirmed the news with details. My reaction...
Well I know it is a good thing that he is dead. We can learn from the Book of Mormon that is better that one man die than so many others. Is this something to rejoice over? I do not feel so. Yes, we should be proud of our country and what we have accomplished, but we should not celebrate the dead of any person. (True I did not personally loose someone as a direct effect of his planned terror attacks and maybe I would think differently if I had. I hope not.) After the briefing from the president last night the news showed a crowd gathered outside the white house who were celebrating like it was the winning of a sporting event. This also makes me think of something in the Book of Mormon. People became so wicked that they delighted in the shedding of blood. I am glad to see that as I surfed the web today looking for more news and updated information and details that the topic of many major news stations had headlines leading to the same question I had about rejoicing or celebrating over his death. As I was reading on facebook this morning a friend of mine made a posted that I very much agreed with. It was by Joey Franklin,
"And Moroni was a astrong and a mighty man; he was a man of a perfect bunderstanding; yea, a man that did not delight in bloodshed; a man whose soul did joy in the liberty and the freedom of his country, and his brethren from bondage and slavery"
This fits exactly how I feel. Thanks for putting it into words for me!'
Another thought that I had was, "Wow, our intelligence agencies CAN keep a secrete." This was even before Obama announced that this mission had been in the works for 8 months. With all of the negative press and such that our government gets sometimes I begin to think that there is no one in our government or agencies that can be trusted. Well, there were no leaks in this operation and had there been it would not have been possible. I know that really there is so much that we do not know about, but there is also so much that is lost and so many complication because people cannot keep their mouths shut.
So, there you have it. A little look into what I have been thinking about about and how I have been feeling.
