Bunnies, Bunnies, and More Bunnies

Happy Easter one and all. We hope you all had a good one.

Ours was great, complete with 3 egg hunts, lots of candy, good food and gorgeous weather. When the weekend had ended the kids came away with a total of 5 plush bunnies (one of them as big as Karlee). Not sure what I'm going to do with them all-- You know how I feel about bears. But maybe I should start a bunny collection. It's sort of fitting because Brock and I have a lot in common with bunnies. We not only play Easter Bunny once a year but we share another defining characteristic. No, not the ears. Not the fluffy tail. No, we're not herbivores. If you can't think of the OTHER commonality, forget it! I'm not going to explain! What I'm getting at is that we are expecting another baby!
Yes, yes. That would make 3 under 3. How, why? Well, it could be one of many reasons.
1. The obvious reason is we're crazy.
2. We try to keep up with Amy and Steve.
3. I wanted to make sure I was 8 months pregnant for my 10-year reunion.
4. I was afraid I wouldn't be hot enough this summer.
5. I like big butts and I cannot lie.
6. I was getting bored.
7. I don't know what I would do with the extra $40 a month I spend on diapers once Karlee is potty trained.
8. We wanted an excuse to skip out on the Peru trip this summer. Machu Picchu probably isn't all that special anyway.
9. 'Rhythm' isn't a good method if you can't find a beat.
10. Really, I couldn't tell you how or why I'm pregnant again. But I CAN tell you that we are ever so excited for the addition!

YEAH! I get to be the first to say CONGRATULATIONS! I sure like all your reasons for having another one. Your kids are so cute.

Chell said...

CONGRATS!! Those reasons are pretty darn funny. I hope is well with you both..

Ginnie said...

Congrats! You crack me up with all of your reasons. Who knows, maybe you'll make it to #4 before I do! How far along are you?

Val said...

AHHhhh! Congrats guys! We sure miss you! We are coming for a visit in August, we should meet up and see where exactly you live! When are you due? Wow, actually believe it or not, I am a bit jealous! Take care and keep in touch.

Hey guys...congratulations! and Good Luck...I had 3 under 3 and I loved it, but man, was it hard. But it's probably safe to say you are a lot more calm and sane and patient than I am...you'll do great. Having a an older daughter makes it so fun. So happy for you.

We were just talking about how there's a drought now that Krystal and Jenna have had their babies...glad you can keep the fertility cycle going long-distance! CONGRATS and I hope this one looks like YOU!

C Crane said...

Congrats! With kids as cute as yours you should just keep them coming! Hope to see you guys soon. Sawyer would love to play with your little guys. I wish I could hang out with you guys and see Brock as a dad. I bet he is the biggest softy!

The Skinners said...

Wow CONGRATULATIONS!!! When are you due? Your post made me laugh, all very good reasons for having a third. Im so happy for you!!!

Alexis said...

Congratulations!! We are very excited for you. We love having 3 - although they are not all under age three! I'm sure that will be crazy but fun!!

The Perry family said...

congrats!! you crazy rabbits!

Crystal said...

Wow! Mr. SS, That is great! 3 is hard, but worth the rewards!

E n D said...

How exciting! That's what happens when you start getting bored!

Jared Heather and Taegen Pete Johnstun said...

You guys are so crazy!!! I guess thats what living in Utah will do to you. By the way... are you loving the promise land?

Michelle C said...

Welcome to the world of insanity! That's so exciting. 3 under 3, doesn't get much closer than that! :) I'll let you know how it happened some other time. :)

This Idaho Girl said...

I love spending my money on diapers too. Congrats!

emily said...

Hey you guys congrats!!! Lots of kids make for lots of fun!! And a whole lot of other things! 3 is definitely crazy! But on the bright side, after 3 it really doesn't matter you'll always be out numbered!!You'll never have enough hands, always be late, and never have clean laundry! So my theory is keep havin em quick until you're done! No need to wait now!
PS...if you really don't know HOW you got pregnant this might keep happening more times than you really want!

Tyra,
Congratulations! :) Can't wait to see what a third little Williamson looks like. Have three under three is not so bad yet. I love all my kids and one more just adds to the love. It's the one year old and three year old that are hard, but they were hard before the baby came anyway, so not much as changed. Come see me!

Krystal said...

Congratulations! It's a good thing you have that big house of yours. I am so happy for you. If anyone can do it, it would be you. I mean you love being prego right? Good luck with this one, I know how hard it was for you when you were prego with Kade.

just me (Angie) said...

congratulations, I am so happy for you and Brock you are such a great mom.

Lindsey Leavitt said...

Holy Bunny!
You guys are crazy, but in a grounded, celestial way. CONGRATS!
We'll be up in Utah come July, so I wanna see your tummy then (actually, last time I saw you, you were pregnant then. Weird).

carlee said...

Wow, you crazy animals! We are so happy for you guys. Oh Tyra all I can think about is you laid up in bed for weeks and dying to play some vball. I hope this one is not as bad and your body makes it through. Congrats and can't wait to see what this little bunny looks like. Your kids are incredibly darling! 3 kids oh boy! It was a kicker for me but I'm not the bomb mom like you. Hope Brock's test went well. We sure miss you lovebirds!

Kellie said...

Why not three with kids as cute as yours?? I hope you are feeling well. Can't wait to see you eight months pregnant this summer! (I don't think I've ever seen you pregnant...) Congratulations.

somestratt said...

Tyra! I am so excited for you. I was just thinking today how much I have enjoyed my #3. #1 was hard because I am horrible with change. #2 was better, but still hard because of the aftermath of #1. #3 was hard because it meant I had 3 people to tend to, but he has been so much fun even with the added trials and pressures. Now he is a year old and we have sooo much fun. You are going to be great and your kids will absolutely adore the addition! Contrats!

Ashley said...

You crazy bunnies! J/K CONGRATS!!! You weren't kidding when you said you want them close. Can't wait for more deats.

Ashley H. said...

Congrats you guys!!! Another cute Williamson baby! Good luck!
