I'm back (Again)

Well it's been almost 6 months since I last posted anything.  Wow how time flies and things change.

I just thought I'd take a minute to post an update in case anyone is even checking this blog anymore.

School is over for the year, which means that Hannah is done with 1st grade & Parker is done with 3rd grade.  They both did really well in school this year.  Parker did well enough on his end of level testing that he was awarded a medal with 2 stars showing significant improvement over last year.  We are so proud of both of them.  Trevor has kept us all busy these past 6 months.  He has sure grown up to be quite the little toddler.  He is talking WAY more than our other kids did at this age.  His vocabulary & memory surprise us daily.  He is so much fun.  In other news We are expecting Baby Girl Mackey in less than 8 weeks.  This was a TOTAL surprise and shock to us.  We have come to terms with having another child and are getting excited for August to get here so we can meet her.  After this one the Mackey Baby making factory will be Closed down for business.  

Travis was just released from being the 2nd counselor in our Bishopric & was just called to be the 2nd counselor in our Young Men's presidency.  He has enjoyed his new calling & we have all enjoyed having him sit with us on Sundays again.  

I am just hanging out (indoors) these days.  It is getting hotter and I am feeling more pregnant each day.  August seems FOREVER away.  I did work at Lagoon again this year (5th year in a row)  for 9 days in May.  We have only used our season passes 1 time so far, but hope to use them many more times this summer.

Here are some fun pics from the last little while:
Hannah & Parker just participated in radKIDS self defense classes.  They both had so much fun.  This is them with the police officer (wearing all the padding) on the last day.  
They got to put their new skills to use & attack him back.  It was a cool program!

We went up to Boise the 1st weekend in June for our nephews Baptism here are a few from our travels and the hotel we stayed at.

 Hannah lost her 2 front teeth over Memorial Day weekend.  (I actually pulled both of them out)  They were loose from a fall that happened at school a few months back. She looks so cute all toothless.

 Back in April we went down to see the opening of City Creek center.  The kids favorite part was the cool bridge over Main Street.
Hannah won a bike at school in January.

Well that is all for now.  I really do want to start blogging again.  I think it will help be take more pictures.  
I love reading other peoples blogs and keeping up on their families so I really need to get better at this.

Expressing my feelings.

So this post has taken me a long time to write. I never thought I was the kind of person that kept things inside, and didn't know how to express my feelings. Usually I confront things before they become an issue, but over the past 2 weeks I haven't known how to express my feelings on a particular situation. So since I think of the whole blogging thing as a form of Journal I thought no better way to get a few things off my mind. In November of 2007 I had a miscarriage, when I was 10 weeks pregnant. I didn't want anyone to know that I had a miscarriage so I just kept it inside. (I told family of course) Since then I have been unsuccessful in getting pregnant, so two weeks ago I finally went to talk to my Dr. When I was there he did the routine yearly exam and felt that I had a lump (Nodule) on my thyroid. He informed me that this could have been the cause of the miscarriage & why I haven't been able to get pregnant. He suggested that I go the hospital to have a ultr...

Nervous!!

So I am getting really nervous for my surgery tomorrow. I haven't been sleeping very well this past week. Those that know me know that I am not a morning person & I love my sleep. Well I've been up since 5:30 this morning. So far I've changed my blog background 5-6 times and looked at anyone & everyone's blogs. I've looked at blogs of people that I don't even know. So I find out this afternoon what time my surgery will be. Now the key is to keep myself busy until tomorrow. I have a ton of things to do today so hopefully I will be successful at forgetting about being nervous. Well wish me luck! I'll update when I get home from the hospital, which could be as late as next Tuesday or Wednesday.

November

Hannah is such a good big sister.   She loves to hold Olivia & play with her.  One day she got really quiet & I went in to check on her & she had fallen asleep with Olivia on her.  Tooo cute!!  Olivia 3 months old!  Trying to catch a smile on camera.  So Cute!!! Trevor wanted a picture of him. Parker turned "10" in November.   I can't believe we have a 10 year old.  We love him so much!!! Here is a picture of his cake.  I didn't get one of him blowing out the candles.
