BOY!!! Someone to Carry On the Bobo Name!
I am going to have to think of another name for this blog now because it's not just going to be the Bobo Princesses and Daddy anymore! Mark Ivan Bobo should make his appearance sometime in June!

Jesus Wants Leata For A Sunbeam! (And Taylor In Nursery)
Leata has been to Sunbeams for two weeks now. She LOVES it! I was afraid that she was going to be upset with no toys to play with because she loved playing in nursery. I guess she is just old enough now that she can sit pretty still and listen to a longer lesson and go to sharing time and enjoy herself.
She loves singing and loves to teach us what she has learned in singing time and in her class (the best she can remember, anyway). Her teachers and the primary presidency has told me that she sits still but loves to answer questions.
After her first time at Sunbeams she wanted to say the prayer for dinner (Chili of course) that evening. Well, before she could say the prayer we had to sing a song and basically have opening exercises. It was so cute. She even had to find something that she could pretend to use as a microphone. I found out later that she quickly volunteered for the opening prayer that Sunday and went up and did it all by herself! After her second week she said "Mommy, I had fun in Sunbeams but they wouldn't let me say the prayer at the microphone again today." She was kind of sad about that but it was so cute!
Now Taylor is so different from Leata. I took that sweet little girl to nursery the first week and stayed with her for 15 minutes or so and then left. She did ok but she saw me in the window when I was checking on her and got upset so I stayed a little while in the middle of church as well. She also did ok after that but she really wanted someone to hold her.
Last week (her second week, it just turns out that since her birthday is in July, she went into nursery in January and since we were traveling the first week of the year she went into nursery the same week Leata went into Sunbeams), Taylor was not so happy when I left. She wasn't crying though and did ok for about 15 minutes. Then they brought her to me with tear running down her face. Such a sad sight. She rarely cries so it was hard for me to see her that way. She did not want to sit with me in Sunday School so I took her back to nursery and stayed with her for a few minutes again. She was clinging to me for the first couple of minutes. Then Taylor played in my lap for a few minutes. Then she ventured away a little but kept her eyes on me. They were dancing and singing on foam squares and she couldn't miss out on the action so she ran over and started playing. After a minute, I left. She was fine the rest of the time. Maybe next week it will be even smoother... One can hope, right?

Family Haircut Day!
It was time for A.J. to get a haircut. He was past due for one, in fact. Saturday we decided to all go get haircuts. Taylor got her haircut first. We just trimmed some off of the back of her hair to make it more even and look less like a mullet, lol. It was her first haircut! She sat very still for the 3 minutes the girl was working on her hair. Her hair is so straight that I didn't dare trim it myself.
Leata and A.J. got their hair cut at the same time. Leata sat so still and did everything she was told to do. She was so well behaved! She decided that she wanted a hairstyle that took very little work. She had six inches cut off! It was getting pretty long. Six inches is a lot for a little girl! It's a chin length bob and very cute and requires washing, drying and brushing and that is it. I am very happy with it and so is she. She is looking and sounding so grown up these days!
I just got a trim. It was probably past due for me on that one. I got a couple of inches cut off and just long layers.
Hopefully I will get pictures soon. I have a before picture of Taylor. I still need to get an after.

Ultrasound Date...
We did get the call for our ultrasound. We will have it January 30 at 1145 am, down in Spanish Fork. We are excited to see our baby again. Still haven't decided what to do though. There are so many pluses to dong it each way and I enjoyed it both ways. It makes it harder to decide though. Looks like most people are guessing boy. That would be so exciting and different for us! Another girl would be so much fun as well though...
The baby has been very active the last week or so and the little flutters have turned into kicks and punches! I love it. That is my favorite part of being pregnant, feeling the baby move around in there. There is nothing else in the world like it!
It is after 1 in the morning here. The time stamp is correct. I have been struggling with an ear infection for close to 2.5 months now. My ear does not want to drain and it is causing me a lot of pain right now. Much too much to sleep. I did take some medicine that the doctor gave me and I am hoping that I will be able to sleep soon!

To find out, or not to find out? That is the question...
So, tomorrow I will get a call and we will set a date for our 20 weeks ultrasound so that the doctor can make sure that the baby looks healthy and normal. Now really, that is all I care about but at 20 weeks there is a very good chance we could find out if we are having a boy or another girl. Now really, I would be thrilled with either. I have never had a preference with any of my babies. I just love that Leata and Taylor are happy and healthy kids. We knew Leata was a girl from the beginning. It was just something we knew. Then we had the ultrasound and that confirmed what we knew. With Taylor, we had no clue. We didn't find out at the ultrasound and it was lots of fun to find out at delivery.
Now I don't know what to do this time. I enjoyed doing things both ways. I do feel like it would be nice to be prepared for a little boy if that is indeed what this baby is. There wouldn't be much of anything we would need for a little girl though and mentally I am set for girls right now. So I am asking your opinions. Let me know what you think. Ultimately we will make the decision on our own but I am interested in what everyone else has to say. Leata says we should wait. I thought that was interesting...

My laptop is back!
My laptop arrived today! It was covered under warranty so we just had to pay to send it in. They replaced the motherboard and did some other things so it should be good to go now. Hopefully for a long time!
Dentist
I went to the dentist. I had gone just before I was pregnant to have my cleanings and checkup done. I had one new cavity and three fillings that needed to be replaced. I had the cavity filled then but by the time I had that done I had used up my insurance for the year so since the other three were not urgent we waited until this year to do it. It's such a pain to have to keep your mouth open for so long and have the whole side (top and bottom) numb. Now that the numbness is wearing off I know something is not right with one of my teeth. Hopefully I will not need a root canal!
Leata will go this year for her first real appointment to the dentist. She has been to sit in the chair and have them take a quick peek at her teeth but she hasn't done it all yet. It will be interesting to see how she reacts!

Arizona
We went to Arizona last week to visit friends and family. We had a great trip! It really was wonderful.
We were able to see my Grandparents while we were down there. Grandma has not been doing well lately and just had a stroke before Christmas. During that time they found that her heart is starting to fail as well. Grandpa seems to be doing so well right now though! It was so fun to go and visit with them. We were even all able to go out to lunch while we were down there. We also saw my Aunt, Uncle and Cousin.
We spent part of our trip with our good friends Brad and Kae while we were down there. Their 8 year old son was baptized on Saturday and it was great to be there for his baptism. I watched him when he was just a newborn while his mom went to school. I really enjoyed the time that I got to watch him and I am so glad that we were able to get to know their family!
While we were there A.J. and Leata went swimming, outdoors, on January 3! It was crazy but the pool was a heated pool but it hadn't been heated since the day before so it was kind of cold! They had a lot of fun though. Taylor and I were smart and just watched the craziness.
While we were driving back on Sunday evening we went through an area in Utah that was 22 degrees below zero! COLD!
The trip down and back up were easier then we had anticipated. We took two days to get down there. It was not our original plan but I was feeling miserable the night before and so I went to the doctor the day we were planning on leaving. As it turned out, I have a sinus and ear infection. I had been on antibiotics early in December for them but they didn't get rid of the infection. Fortunately, the second round of antibiotics seems to be doing the trick. Because we couldn't leave as early as we would have liked, we stopped in Mesquite, NV for the night at a nice hotel that we got a good deal on. It was so nice to splint the trip up and we all felt good when we arrived in Mesa the next day. On the way back we did it all in one day and it only took us 13 hours with stops and all. Not too bad. We also found that North of Cedar City they have a test zone where the speed limit is 80 mph! That was a big surprise to us!
I will try to post more pictures soon!
