Well, I'm not sure how long it's been for me not to notice, but I just realized that on my baby time ticker that the last baby is highlighted now which makes me even more excited/scared for our little baby to come. I'm going through so many mixed emotions right now. Moments of where you just feel like you can't go on anymore and you wish the baby would just be born RIGHT NOW and then an hour later when it's just me and I'm finally sitting down relaxing and feeling the baby move around that I just wish I could always remember that feeling and enjoy having another LIFE inside me. This pregnancy has by far been the most difficult as far as the way my body feels. Lately, it's all I can do to get out of bed in the morning and with this week being above 100 degrees is sure can wear a person down. It makes me appreciate feeling well when I do and I'm looking forward to feeling normal again. By the way, the photo above was taken by my wonderful sister-n-law Cody who worked so hard to make this photo shoot turn out great. Thanks Cody so much for capturing this time in my life.
I'm ashamed to say, but I guess my patience has been wearing thin with the kids because for awhile when Cameron would say his prayers he would pray that I could be nicer. (which always breaks my heart) But, on Sunday Cameron prayed at the dinner table for everyone else to be nicer and for me to be pretty. :) I couldn't help but giggle out loud. I guess I'm looking like I need some help in the makeover department. But hey, that's better than being mean right! :) Then, tonight he just prayed that I could get a good nights sleep. So, by Cameron's prayers I guess I can judge at how well I'm mothering him. ha ha. I love being a mother and know that it has and will continue to refine me into a better person if I work hard and do the things that Heavenly Father would want me to do. I've realized that by taking the easy way out isn't always the best way when it comes to parenting. I'm thankful for Jesse and love it when he comes home and the kids just swarm him. They love him so much and I appreciate what a good husband he is. Life is good.

Joyce, you sure don't look almost 9 months pregnant! You really look good and have always looked good pregnant, compared to most people. I am excited for you to have your baby because that means I'm next! That's cute that Cameron puts so much thought into his prayers. We are all praying for you!
Joyce the picture looks great. I bet you and Cody had fun taking them. Kids are so sweet and thruthful aren't they?! We're praying for you too.
ps I had to delete the last entry cause there was a MAJOR typo. Loves!
What a sweet picture. I also thought that was so cute that Cameron prayed that you could be pretty. Im sure he meant that he thinks that you are pretty. Well it won't be much longer til birth. I think that a woman comes closest to God at the birth of a new child and unfortunately, you are right, suffering for a righteous cause make us deeper and more worthy of the true blessings.
I have missed blogging for a little while and sure have missed it. You are looking great and we are excited for you. Even though those days are so far behind me I still remember as if yesterday and cherish the memories. Our best to you and all the family. I love you, Aunt Jan
Hello, my name is Gladiz. You and I were elementary school friends in NM until I moved to TX. I recall crying for days when we moved because you wouldn't be there! Anyway, I was able to find your married name off of classmates.com. I am also LDS so please don't freak out! I'd like to send you more information on how I got to your blog and possibly send pictures of our first or second grade class. If you would like my email address is pangizi@yahoo.com. I know this is strange but you made a great impression when we were little. I hope to hear from you.
Respectfully, Gladiz
Pregnancy does look good on you. You are beautiful even in this last month.
Wow! We just beat you to the fourth kid! And, our 7th anniversary is this December. Finally, something I can beat Jesse at! Ha! Joyce, you look fabulous. I guess Jesse does take good care of you. We miss you guys. Any chance you want to RV it to Memphis? I know what big Elvis fans you both are. Check out our webpage at web.mac.com/aketcher and you'll see some of the pics of the kids and our newest, Caleb. I'm pretty sure we emailed you, but I can't remember. Take care, hopefully we'll see you sooner than later. The Ketchers
