10 WeEks tO Go!!!!

Yeah, I am on the down slope and I will have a new little baby in my arms soon. We are getting more and more excited to find out what the little thing is. I still have my bet on a boy and Tyler thinks I will be in for a big shock when it's a girl. It is totally boy season right now though. Everyone is having boys that I know of. Either way we don't care and just want to see what it looks like. Olivia and Drew look so different so it will be interesting to see what traits this baby will have. We have a little me and a little Tyler so is this one going to be a total mix? Who knows. I am crazy for not finding out but I have you know that is has definitely saved us money, I have not bought one single item for this baby yet. I am so proud of myself, by this time with the other two kids, their rooms were totally set up and the closet was full. With this one we just have to wait it out and see before I can go shopping. Anyways this picture is of my poor leg. It's kind of hard to see (on the picture, not in real life) but with this pregnancy I got tons of varicose veins on my right leg. I am so mad about it! I used to have some cute calves and now they are covered with what looks like bruises. I guess it's pretty common and alot of people say they got them with their third baby. Well if they don't go somewhat away when I have this baby and the pressure is gone, I am totally going to get them injected. The things we put our bodies through for these babies...

This is LIFE.....

I don't want to rub it in or anything but right now as a sit and blog my house is being cleaned. Yes, I am not lifting a finger, well technically I am typing but you know what I mean. I have had this house cleaner for about 4 months and I am in love. Don't get me wrong I still clean every day of my life but just to have the toilets and deep down stuff done is such a relief. Especially now with the basement finished, that's way to many toilets, yah no way. I always said I would never hire someone to clean my house because I am super Mom and can do it myself but hello my back hurts and I just don't want to do it anymore. There is so many other things I could be doing, like sitting on the computer and blogging. So if anyone is interested in my little Latin lady cleaner's just let me know. They are great and cheap....

My Tribute to Tyler

So this year me and Tyler's anniversary and Father's day happened to fall on the same day. So it was a double Tyler appreciation day. What if I never met Tyler? Before I met Tyler I thought I knew exactly where my life was heading and then bam, I was thrown a curve ball and introduced to my future Husband. He happened to enter my life at the best and hardest time we both have ever experienced. When the most important male role model left my life, Tyler conveniently filled the shoes and stepped up to take care of a heart broken little girl and her family. What I needed was a strong example to follow and that's what I got. I knew I could never marry someone who didn't go through that experience with me. Since then marriage has been so easy. When you marry someone with the same goals and so much in common life just sails. I remember right after having Olivia, Tyler had to give me suppositories, I thought this is when you know your really in love! Tyler would do absolutely anything for me and his kids. He is the hardest worker I have ever known and is driven to give us the best life possible. In 6 short years he has done such a great job. Tyler will be successful in every form of the word. He is just that kind of guy. He is such a hands on Dad too. I would like to think, I trained him well. He shares full responsibility of the child raising. Even gets up with newborns in the middle of the night. He rocks our babies to sleep every night until they are 18 months old. And without fail bathes the kids every single evening. Not to mention the endless diaper changes. Oh and he is the family vomit cleaner. If nothing else, he is the best barf cleaner. You will not hear one dry heave! There is so much Tyler does for his family and I really could go on and on for hours but I just want everyone to know I married the perfect husband for me and he has turned out to be a great Daddy too. Thanks for everything Tyler, Happy 6Th Anniversary and Father's day!!!!

Sunny St. George

So we went to St. George last weekend for a friends wedding and thought we would make it a little vacation and stay a long weekend. The kids got to swim even though it wasn't super hot it was alot warmer than here. Seriously today is freezing! Anyways we had a lot of fun and the kids loved the cockroaches. That's one thing I don't miss about St. George, those nasty things. I went outside in my grandma's backyard and the kids were playing with the 3 la cocharoachas. They were holding them as if they were ladybugs or something. That's one thing my kids are not afraid of touching, any kind of bug or spider. Sick.

Meet the new member of our Family.....

The Dabo's officially became a typical Utah Family over the weekend!!! What a busy weekend I must say. So just for a little background, I don't really like dogs. Never had one growing up. I am very sensitive to different smells. Dog's are such a huge commitment. So with all of that I bought a puppy Saturday in the Sam's Club parking lot. Why? Because my kid's absolutely adore dogs and I just couldn't say no to Miss Olivia, she's way to cute and persistant. Some would say it's a huge sacrifice on my part, but I am actually liking this puppy. She is 3 months old, she's a tiny Shih Tzu, and we named her Zoe. Let me tell you she is such a good dog. She has had a couple of accident's on my tile (thank goodness) but other than that she is pretty much potty trained. That is the benefit of getting an older puppy. Zoe is the sweetest dog. Sleeps alot and just follows me around the house all day. She doesn't like to be alone. She is the perfect lap dog. So when my kids get sick of her, Oh I give it a month, I think she will be my little companion. I am actually one of those people that has a puppy on my lap driving the car around. Who would of thought? Anyways our family has really enjoyed her so far and we are excited to have something different in our lives at this time. The other thing that pushed us to be a Utah family over the weekend is we got a van. Another thing I always said I would never get. Look at us being all spontaneous! We knew we needed to get rid of the Land Rover soon and we have been shopping around for options. The best option is a van. With our third on it's way it's just the best car to simplify my life a little. I never thought I would see the day Tyler driving a minivan. It's so cute. Mr. Cool turned into Mr. Dad real quick. I did however tell Tyler if I get a van it has to be a Honda and it has to be completely loaded. So yesterday we found our dream van. HaHa. Let me tell you though, it is really nice. Exactly what I wanted. So now when you see the Dabo family cruising around, you will be like look at that cute Utah family with the van, the 2 kids, the pregnant wife, and the dog!!! What a weekend.

Challenger's Spring Performance

Olivia had her preschool spring performance last Thursday and did great. I love her school and I love her teachers. It's amazing because I never realize how tall Olivia is for her age until she is standing next to her fellow classmates. I think she is the tallest in her class, for sure the tallest girl. It's crazy because I am so short. The pics are of her, her classmate Teagen, Drew and her teachers.

Drew's 2 yr. and Olivia's 4 1/2 yr. pictures!

So my friend Brooke so graciously dared to take my kids pictures and she did such a great job! Drew is not the funnest kid to take pics of but for the most part he did pretty well. These are just a few of my favorites, there are so many to choose from. I really like how they turned out, thanks so much Brooke!
