Test week...ugh!!!

The dreaded test week is here, and we have made it through 3 of the 5 days of rigorous studying/testing. Well, I really haven't done much as far as studying or testing, but I'm definitely there for moral support. I cheer when Lance gets home and tells me he's done with one more test. Us wives have actually figured out that if we get together a lot during the week, it helps us survive much better. This is one of our get-togethers that happened on Saturday to welcome test week (thanks, Kaitlin). The girls chased each other around and around, then decided to hide under the table. From left to right are: Jaycee, Natalie, Myleigh, and Katelyn.
Jaycee's large head totally hides Natalie in this picture, but this shows Katelyn's face.
We also had an ice cream party on Tuesday night (thanks, Byrdie), and of course I couldn't pass up ice cream. I just didn't get any pictures. This next one is just of Jaycee being silly. I was getting her ready for bed and she ran off. It was really funny because it smashed her eyes and she looked like a puppy dog, but this picture doesn't show it very good.
One night Jaycee went into my room and decided to take her clothes off and try my pants on. She takes her clothes off frequently, and it is so exasperating finding her in her birthday suit at any time of day. She has to take her clothes off to get warm in her blanket. I try to explain that leaving her clothes on would only help her get warmer, but reasoning is of no use to a two-year-old. As you can see, the pants are rather large. It kind of looks like a strapless shirt (or whatever), and she gave a weird smile for the picture.
Just FYI--On Feb. 9th I will find out if I'm having a girl or boy and will post the results as soon as possible. I guess I carry my babies very compact because everyone tells me I'm not showing. I can tell a difference, but can hide my belly pretty easily also. When I get a baby bump (and don't just look "thick" as Lance has put it so dearly) I might post a picture of my belly, but don't count on it.

hey chemene, this jill rabe from the ward, you know family history. anyway, i didn't know that you were pregnant!! that is so fun! and you are so far along. i haven't been to church in a long time. i bet there are a lot of girls pregnant. this ward seems to have them come in groups. but congrats on the exciting news!!
oh, and test week is crappy. i think it's great how all of you girls get together. it really does help to have support from friends. just an fyi, you should enjoy test week because second year they don't have that so they have tests all the time and have to study all the time. not cool! funny how the grass is always greener.
well, i hope you are doing well and aren't sick. you will be adorable pregnant!

Last day of tests! I'm excited to celebrate with a party.
I love all of those pictures you got. Especially the ones with all of the kids under the table. So cute.
