It's a.....

GIRL!!!!!!!

Hello!! I cannot even begin to tell you how much I miss blogging. I miss it like crazy!!

I don't really have a whole lot to say. I have more pictures then anything. But alas...I can't upload them. :(

I am counting down the days till my next ultrasound which is next wed. Hopefully we can find out what it is. I have been looking forward to this for quite a while now. There is just something about seeing your unborn baby on that little black and white screen. It is pretty fantastic.

We are at the half way point now. Yah!!

Sorry this is so short. But I just wanted to say hello to everyone!!

I miss blogging!! We are having internet issues here at our house. ;) which is cutting down on my blogging capabilities.

We are doing well. We had our 1st ultrasound last week which was pretty cool. With time you kinda forget how cool ultrasounds are. Especially when it is your baby you are looking at. I cried during the ultrasound. It was just so cool to see the little tiny baby moving all around, kicking its arms and legs. So amazing. I can't wait now to feel it moving.

The kids are doing well also. They are enjoying their summer. So far I haven't heard to many...I'm bored's... Yet. If I hear it I give them a chore to do and that kinda changes their mind. ;) we were finally able to get to the pool this past week. What a relaxing afternoon.

Dada has already been on vacation. She went to Missouri with Grandma and Grandpa and had a week of pure spoiling. Brother will be going to Missouri in July to get his turn of spoiling. He kinda can't wait.

Jonathan and Melanie had their baby. Jonas Daniel was born June 8th. My parents were able to fly out and meet their new grandson.

That's the news that I have for now. I hope you(...my 1 reader?!?!) Is having a good summer.

Ye-Ha

Dada is in the middle of her 3rd production with her children's theater group. She is having so much fun playing Buzz the outlaw.






Dada's friend Victoria joined the theater group this year. Her excitement is so catching. She had so much fun on stage and did a great job! She was an Indian. The Indians had a cute little dance.
So fun to watch!



I remember talking to Dada the night before the play and it was the 1st time she has admitted being nervous about messing up her lines. She said that she confuses 2 lines. But she did a wonderful job!

I love this picture of Uncle Jeff and Dada....

Mike, Joanna and the kids all came as well, but I didn't grab a picture of them before they left.

Proud Momma and Daddy......(Don't I look tired??)

My favorite!!! This flower I think has to be my all time favorite flower smell!!



Brother has been perfecting his BB gun shot. He likes to do this almost every day. Or every day that Daddy will let him.



Why yes, the kids have already talked me into letting them play in the sprinkler. To bad the weather won't stay consistent. It fluctuates from the 80's to the 60's.



The neighbor boys came over as well and it was boys against girl. I have to say that Girl was sadly outnumbered. She ended up running off pouting. She needs another girl in the neighborhood!



But....summer is coming. We only have 1 week left of school. I have the summer itch like crazy!!! 1 more week. I can do this!

Go-Carts, Funerals, and Mother's Day......

Remember that Go-Cart we got from the neighbors last year? Yep, Hunny got it working. He and the kids have been zooming all over the neighborhood with it as of late.

Brother did think that he was quite old enough to drive it all by himself.

That is until he got scared and Daddy had to "rescue" him. ;)

He now keeps the driving to Daddy......for now.

My tulips are in full bloom. They make me happy every time I look at them. This particular one was used at Princess's funeral. Remember Princess the Hamster? Let's just say we had a dramatic evening one evening which ended in a funeral service complete with tulips marking the grave.

Mother's Day came and went. I was sick over Mother's Day. Not much fun. But I think my body needed the rest. I had been pushing myself these past months working 2 jobs and all the other responsibilities that come with being a wife and mother. Oh and that little thing about being pregnant.

But Hunny.....I mean the kids, ;) did good on Mother's Day. He spoiled me and then let me rest the whole day.

Well, you may or may not have heard....but yes, it's true.....we are expecting. We are due Dec 17th.

I wish I had more to add to this. I wish that I could figure out a cute little way to post it on here....but alas I am just to tired.

And sick.

I haven't mentioned the sickness.

This "morning" sickness which should be called all stinken day sickness has just not been fun. Yesterday I think has been the worst of it. I really wanted to crawl into a hole and be buried there. But today is a new day. I keep telling myself when I start to get overwhelmed with how I am feeling, that the sickness really IS a good thing. To me it's a sign that all is well and as it should be. If I wasn't sick, then I don't think I would "feel" pregnant. The sickness is a comfort to me. As weird as that sounds.

The kids are on cloud 9. We told them Friday night and at 1st they didn't believe us. They thought we were joking with them. (Like we would EVER joke!!) But when they finally believed us, Dada could barely contain herself. She said she was going to put me on the prayer list. Hunny and I looked at each other and knew that a visit with our parents were in order....that night!! So away to our parents house we went. My parents were excited. Surprised. But excited. Grandma S is for sure that we have to have a girl. Her and Dada are on the same page about the sex of the baby. Daddy and Brother are already for sure it's a boy. I don't care what we have. I just pray that it is healthy.

The next day Brother and Daddy were on their way to get haircuts and Brother asked Daddy when we will find out if it is going to be black or white. :) I thought is was sweet the innocence of children. Brother also said that he thought this was going to be 1 long year. I had to agree with him wholeheartedly!! December seems so far away! Right now I just pray that I can fit into my school clothes for the last 5 weeks of school!! SOMEONE said that there is no way for that to happen that I will be huge in no time. I of course am paraphrasing what that SOMEONE said. ;)
