Update

Sorry that I haven't updated our blog for so long. I've gone to a couple times with pictures and stuff and got distracted by kids and never finished. I guess it is ok to post something without pictures, so here it goes.
We have been really busy here. Russell finished Student Teaching in May and through May and June he had an evening class on Tuesdays and Thursdays and Young Men's on Wednesdays, so he was really busy then. He finished that up and has now completed everything needed to graduate, but they only process them at the end of the semester, so he won't be official until sometime in August. It feels good to have all the work done though. He has applied for a couple of jobs but didn't get them, so he is still at home with the kids and I am still working.
I enjoy working, especially since I've started to do more engineering and design work. We have been really busy and I'm surprised how much it wears me out, but I guess I am 8 months pregnant.
An update on the pregnancy. I started my contractions quite a bit earlier than I expected. I was expecting them to start about now, which is 6 weeks to go, but no they started June 13th. I'm so grateful for Ambien, otherwise I wouldn't get any sleep. For those of you that might not know my background, with Kaylee the contractions started 5 weeks before she was born and for Kenyon it was 4 weeks. They are not too painful, just uncomfortable and about 10 minutes apart no matter what I do. I guess it is a good thing that they don't progress me any, just wear me out and make me uncomfortable. I guess it isn't too bad, because I have not yet said this is the last pregnancy I will do. It is the last one I will do while working full time, but not for sure the last one ever. I've also had several infections, so I am on antibiotics until Evelyn is born. I'm still hoping for her to be born around the 13th of August, which is about two weeks early. Kyler was 8 days early, Kaylee was 11 days early, and Kenyon was 14 days early. If Evelyn follows suit she will be 17 days early, which will be the 13th. I guess we will have to wait and see.
That is all for now. I will try to get some pictures on soon, but no guarantees.
