HELLO! IT'S A BOY (in case you couldn't tell)

Well if you are having trouble figuring this out.... We are excited to announce we are having our 3rd BOY! We had the ultrasound this morning. I thought it would be fun for all the kiddo's to come and watch. BIG mistake. I think their sit still and patience was gone after 30 seconds. When the tech announced it was a boy the boys cheered and Breena got quiet and sad. The first thing she said is "you'll just have to have another one" HA. I was a bit worried scheduling this on her Birthday. Now I feel guilty and sad. I sort of ruined her 8th birthday. So I promised her we would go shopping and she could pick out the outfit we bring him home from the Hospital in. I don't think she understands the dynamic of their relationship. She thinks it will be similar or the same to the one she has with her brothers. I wish she could understand that it won't be so bad. He won't be picking on her, she will be picking on him. Later Ricky told me he thought it was a girl. Now for the daunting task of a name. Boys names are so much harder than Girl names. the boys want Beauford, or Cletus, Thor, Yoda, Billy Bob... I think you get the point and hopefully sympathize with what is ahead for me. They make everything impossible fun!

Happy Anniversary To US

I cannot believe it's been 12 years. I cannot tell you where half of those went. Every day I am so grateful that we stuck it out.

We both choose each other! It's so rare these days and I have truly become aware of this blessing! I have a man that still after knowing EVERYTHING not so good about me still picks me! I didn't think he even remembered. You should have seen my face. He has just asked me to go and do something, I had been servant girl all morning and it sort of set me off. When I walked back into the kitchen he had these in hand. Humility is the descriptive word of the moment! I love him so much and truly wouldn't be half the person I am without him!

3 months

I cannot believe how time flies. I am still in shock over the "I'm having a baby" thing. So here I am at 3 months. The nausea isn't as bad as it could be. But I will hope for so much more. We are defiantly finding out what we are having. Right now its 4-1 for a boy. Not that I wouldn't want a girl. I just don't feel it. Also boys are cheaper!

Announcement

So I guess now is as good as anytime to start blogging a little more! I need to do better at journaling *since this is one of many goals for my "No Regrets" motto! So what better way than to share my drama with you! (my faithful 2 viewers) So to start of this era I will announce! yes we are expecting again. Baby #4 is on it's way! we are due April 15Th Tax Day! I have been sick but not as bad as the other children thankfully to the medications which are now generic and affordable! So here is to 1 pregnancy out of 4 where I will gain weight and get BIG! So maybe I should add my due date which is April 15th. We told the kids on Ricky's birthday! Breena is so excited that she screams the news to people! Cody thinks it's pretty cool to finally be a brother. The votes are in and its 4-1 for a boy! Sorry Breena girls are just so much!

We love Fritz

It started to snow tonight and Rick was worried the dog would freeze, so he went out in his tennies and shorts and got the space heater. He held it on him for awhile to be sure he was warm. How cute is that? I wish he paid that much attention to detail when it comes to me.. Jk. He really is the best. Well after getting him warm Rick decided we needed to keep the cold air off of him, so out came the power tools and he drilled holes to put wire through so he could attach a tarp. needless to say Fritz is spoiled, and had better had a good nights sleep!

Happy Birthday Cody!

I can't believe my baby is turning 6. Where did all those year go? We are in the middle of a long spring break, so we decided to take it easy today. We water colored, colored on the paper hung on the walls, made rice crispie egg suprises, put the tent up in the basement, and has a weenie roast.

cody wanted a HALO birthday cake, that XBox game is starting to really aggrivate me. So we dismembered a few of his megablock Halo caracters and decorated his cake, I made grey icing, how silly is that. He got a scooter for his big day. He loves them!

Happy Birthday my baby boy!

Meet Fritz

We finally took the plunge and added to our family. I have been a little skeptical, ok a lot about getting a dog. I really don't want the commitment, that may sound selfish but I really don't want everything chewed and pooped on. It really is time, the kids need a play pal. So we drove to Fielding to pick up Fritz tonight. I think he will be the perfect addition to our family!

What punk!

So Cody has been obsessed with Fohawks lately. So when it came time to cut his way over grown hair he of course asked for a mowhawk. I said I would try and I got really lucky! It came out alright. I told him he could keep it for a few days but not more. He is so darn cute, it makes me want to kiss him!
