Wednesday, February 27th, 2008

OMG !!! I cant believe that Paul & Brandye still havent been told the news yet.. OK, Let me back -up on Monday morning I told Mark that we will go over there around 5pm.. and let them know we are pregnant- then he calls me on the way home and tells me they are having a problem and are going to be working late.. ( He is on duty.. ) so anyways he got home around 4 in the morning.. yep 4 AM..So we didnt get to go and I told him that we have to go on Tuesday- and because of what happened the night before he came home around noon to catch up on sleep before he had to go back to work.. so yep you guessed it.. he didnt make it home again on time !!! and so here we are WEDNESDAY.... I was so upset that they havent been told, I called there house at lunch time and just told them on the phone.. I have to be honest - I thought right after I left the message. OMG !! Why did I do that- I should have just told them to call me back.. Ugggg so I called Mark and told him that I just left a message.. and he started to laugh, so by the end of the day Paul called me and I think I just started rambling to him how I was so sorry that they found out so late.. on and on and on... Thank God they have a good sence of humor.. anyways- the news is out !!! so no more to continue.. sorry for all the rambling I just did in the last week.. I will stop now..

The "Baby #3" Announcement to Mom's & Dad...

Saturday, February 23rd, 2008

Ok, So I had this grat, cute plan of telling everyone together as a group on "Easter" that we were pregnant, went to the store got 6 "Golden Egg's" and everyone was going to find out at the same time.. well to be honest I have been sick three times a day and I was lying down or going to bed around 8pm.. and everytime the phone would ring I would have to act normal and happy as if I wasnt lying there dying praying to get off the phone just so I could close my eyes.. so needless to say, Nana Darlene came over today to show me how to make this chicken noodle dish that Drew loved at her house

Here is our Baby... Boy or Girl.... What do you think...

So when she walked in I handed Drew & Brody there baskets.. and they walked up to Nana with the eggs.. and then...
Had Nana open one up for them...

Surprise.....Nana !!!
So then the same day, before I had a chance to pack the kids up and head off to Nana Claire & Papa Jim's they surprised me.. So again.. They walked up with there baskets.. gave Nana & Papa a "Golden Egg".. and... Brody was helping Papa out by giving him what he needed to look at...

and "Finally" after looking at it for a little bit.. she got it !!! A New Baby Is On The Way.... then my mom quickly asked " We ARE finding out what we are having this time.. RIGHT??? and Yes we are...
Drew and Nana Claire.... And Brody & Papa Jim...

After this after we got the kids down I ran over to Auntie Jamie's & Uncle Mike's to give them the great news and ALL of them are excited for the new baby.. Skyler wants a girl and Dylan wants another boy... it was too late after this stop to run over to my brothers .. so tomorrow we are going to let Uncle James & Auntie Chandra and Uncle Paul & Auntie Brandye & Stop by for some Kaden play time and see Uncle Ben & Auntie Billie Jo...So the exciting news will continue tomorrow....

Party America.. Just Out Having Fun....

Friday, February 22nd, 2008

Today was Mark's day off and we went out to breakfast with the kids to IHOP.. and had a yummy breakfast, than afterwards we went to the Party store so I can get the stuff to announce the new Baby with.. I am going to give everyone a "Golden Egg" and put a copy of the Ultrasound picture in it... I was going to wait until Easter to announce it.. but it is just to far away, plus I am getting sick and feeling horrible everyday and it is getting hard to explain why I cant talk or why I am sleeping at 8pm.. Anyways.. when we were walking down the Easter area Drew spotted the ears and she LOVES wearing these things.. it is so funny.. and once Brody saw her wearing them well he wanted a pair also.. Then after getting our stuff we walked by the party side and then Drew saw "Elmo" and he sings of course, she wouldnt let go of him, Mark was worried that we wouldnt get out of the store now without buying it... I had to explain to him that it goes to the cashier lady the moment we are done checking out..

Drew & Brody with the Bunny Ears on... I didnt get them.. but I am thinking I should have..
Then Mark found these "Sunglasses".. They had so many of them.. Here are the random shots that I took of them...






That's All.. Happy Friday Everyone..

First Doctor Appointment for the "Baby"...

Wednesday, February 20th, 2008

Today is the day we got to see the baby.. we had a 10:00 am appointment and I was so prepared for it .. meaning the kids, I had it planned out to were they will get there bottle and relax while we were in the room.. well lets just say that they were running behind like an hour behind.. I was so bummed, the kids started to get cranky after 45 minutes of just sitting there in the stroller so we had to take them out and right after that they called us back which ment that Mark had two kids out of the stroller... So I had to push the stroller and Mark held the kids while I did all the little things they wanted me to do.. blood pressure, ect.. and finally it was our turn to go in.. I was so nervous that she was going to say its "Twins" !!! I love my twins but I only want one set of them anyways- Its only "One" Baby.. she did state that she was only 99.9% sure of that.. but I will take it and then I got my picture...

There it is... OMG !!! I still cant believe it sometimes... I am so Thankful that I am getting my third baby... I cant wait to watch this one grow and I cant wait to find out if its a Boy ?? or Girl ??

Happy "Valentine's Day ".....2008

Thursday, February 14th, 2008

Well yesterday was exciting and today is going to be busy.. I am going to make every effort in visting all of the cousin's.. today and give them there Valentine's Day gift from Drew & Brody... So first stop is going to be the furthest Nana Darlene's house.. by the time I got everything packed into the car I was already 30 minutes late, not to mention that I had to go to the party store and get balloons for Chase.. so I ran into the store and gave her the balloons to blow up and OMG!!! she took forever, I was like hello I have kids waiting in the car- Dont worry they were right in front of me.. anyways, this girl was Slow, finally after I got the balloons off to see Kaden and Nana... We pulled up and I look behind me to get them out and they are both asleep... I couldnt believe it.. So I handed Drew to Darlene and grabbed Brody, the minute Drew saw Dice.. she woke right up...

Kaden, Drew & Brody are so difficult to get a picture of them together....

but I got the boys together, I gave them these lips things that make a loud noise when you blow in them.. it seemed like a good idea..

and here is a shot of Nana Darlene with the kids and Dice...again a really hard shot to get...
Then we all had lunch together.. and then I realized they are all together looking in the same direction.. so here they are..

After that we went to see our newest cousin.. Chase Irons and helped him celebrate his first "Valentines Day".. They are re- doing the hospital and what a nightmare it is to get in there.. It was raining, cold and I had to walk so far with the kids carry two balloons, cookies, and cards.. I couldnt believe it.. but we made it..

They re-did the hospital rooms.. Wow- they are so nice..

First "Valentine's Day"....I got to hold him today... he is so little..

Then after the hospital I went to Nana Claire and Papa Jim's for the biggest group of cousins... I also gave them the big lips to blow into..and we did the grab and drop with them and hoped for the best with the picture..

Drew, Brody, Skyler, Sophia, Dylan and Talon..

Drew, Sophia and Talon didnt want the lips at first until they realized they made noises... I couldnt decied which picture I wanted to put in ..

Sophia got it.....She looked so cute with the lips..

Then I gave them there V-Day gifts, I took the candy out of the stem of these and put Cheerios in them instead... hehehehe, but then out of nowhere the boys started to use them like swords and started hitting each other with them- in a very playful, funny way...

Sophia and Drew didnt like it though...

But Brody and Talon loved it...

and Skyler and Dylan did too...

Drew wasnt in the mood and over tired so of course not wanting her picture taken.. but here is Nana Claire and Papa Jim with them...

and then when daddy came home we gave them there V-Day gifts from us... They got these cute bubble blowers and each got a HUGE ball..

Drew holding onto her HUGE ball..

Brody kicked his into the kitchen and rolled over the top of it...

But our night wasnt over.. we had one more stop to make.. the Iverson's house.. to see Hanna and Cody, and Uncle Paul & Auntie Brandye..They were getting ready to leave for a camping trip for the weekend..

Drew, Hanna, Cody and Brody...This is by far the easiest picture to take.. I always feel bad that they take such great shots that I only need to put in one picture so this time... I am putting in two pictures of them..

They are so cute !!!

Finally on our way home.. Drew got it.. the lips that is.. and has loved it ever since..
I couldnt believe it though.. after I got them to bed I realized something.. this is the first time since they have been born.. that I didnt get a family shot of all four of us.. :o(
