Tony Gets What He Deserves!

I am glad to say that Tony finally got his promotion at work.  He is now officially the Assistant Manager at the Ogden Cannery.  He got a pretty good raise with this promotion.  This is really good for us now that we are in the market for a van.  I am just so proud of Tony for his patience in waiting for this promotion and for working so hard for over a year with the responsibilities of the assistant manager without the title or the pay.  He is a great worker and this promotion sets him up nicely to become a manager some day.  He's just such a great guy!

Happy Birthday To Me

Yesterday I turned 33 years old and boy am I feeling it...just kidding.  It was a really good day.  Tony had the day off and the kids didn't have school so we were able to spend a lot of family time together.  On Thursday night Tony brought home my favorite pie from Marie Callendar's and it was a really nice (yummy) surprise.  After he got home that night we went and picked up some dinner from Dickey's and took it over to his parents house where his Nana and Papa were visiting.  It was nice having dinner all together and spending time with them before they went back to St. George the next day.
On Friday my parents took me to lunch for my birthday.  I chose Texas Roadhouse (surprising, I know) and it was so good.  It was nice just hanging out with them for a while.  Tony was so nice to stay home with the kids.  Megan and Josh started coughing the night before so we didn't want to take them out and spreading their germs.
Poor Megan's cough is a croupy cough.  Super low and sad.  Max has come over a few times to check her breathing and so far it hasn't been too bad.  It is so nice having the help of Max and knowing that our little Megan is in good hands.  She didn't feel feverish tonight, so I am hoping that she is on the mend.  That would be great.
Tony was super sweet to me all day on my birthday (not that he usually isn't).  He took care of the cooking and cleaning and most of the kids stuff, it was nice.  He really is a super guy and I am so lucky to have him.  He also bought me a DVD of Saturday's Warriors.  Brings me back to my childhood.
Tomorrow we are going to go to my parents house for dinner and cake and ice cream.  Should be fun to hang out with the family and who doesn't like feeling extra special from your family!

Baby #4

Well I guess we're going to have another baby.  I found out on New Years Day that I was pregnant.  I had my first appointment on Friday and I was able to hear the heart beat without too much problem.  So I am 10 weeks along.  I figured that now that I have heard the heart beat I am good to start telling people and my blog.
We are excited about this baby.  We were surprised at first since we weren't planning on having another baby, but we are mostly excited now.  I have been pretty sick most days since about 6 weeks.  I was really sick right before I went to Portland, but since then I have been a little better.  I throw up about every third day or so, so it could be a lot worse.  My due date is September 5th.  It's so crazy that all my kids will be 2 1/2 years apart.  So here's to a new chapter in the Steenblik house.
