Happy St. Patricks Day

Happy St. Patricks Day. We had a great day. I took the boys on their first trip this year to the zoo. I think everyone else had the same idea to take advantage of the great weather, it was crowded. The boys have also have been enjoying being able to play outside more.

I have about ten weeks left in my pregnancy. It is now going by so fast, it will be here before we know it. We have made a couple of trips to the ER nothing to big but always expensive. I got the stomach flu (AGAIN) and had to go get fluids because I got dehydrated. Then gave it to everyone else in the house. We also decided to take Beckett, he had a spot on his stomach that looked like a spider bite and found out that it was MRSA so he had to be on a antibiotic and is much better now. Luckily no one else in the house got it. I should have more pictures to post soon, we had to reschedule our trip to the Great Wolf Lodge and my brother, sister in law and niece will be here the first of April.

Griffen's 1st Birthday Party

Griffen had his first birthday party on Saturday. We tried to get all the kids together for a picture, they all sat good except for Brody and Beckett. Griffen was so tired he could hardley stay awake to eat his cake, but he must have got just enough of the icing to keep him awake to open presents. Brody was very excited to help him with his gifts.

We are having a ...

We went to the doctor today for my 20 week ultrasound and checkup. The ultrasound tech told us we are having a GIRL!!! It is still so hard for us to believe. It is very clear by the pictures but I don't think that has sunk in yet. Toby kept asking her to go back and check because we thought that something was going to pop out. She said that she looked very healthy and as of right now weighs 14oz. so right where she needs to be. When she told us it was a girl Brody looked at me and said "I wanted another boy!" I don't think he realized that if it was another boy that was just someone else that was going to steal his toys, so I think that he will be very happy when she arrives. It probably was a good thing that it was snowing and we had to come home after the appointment because I was definitely ready to go PINK shopping!

Favorite Pictures

I got a new camera for Christmas, so here are a few of my favorites that I have taken. I am hoping that I will be able to save some money and take, edit, and print my own pictures of the boys, but we will see. Also, at the end of the month we will be finding out if we are adding another boy or a baby girl to our family. I will be sure to post when we find out.

Christmas 2008

Okay, so I know I am a little behind on getting the pictures posted. Between a sore throat and head cold and the stomach flu I have had it and probably given it to everyone in my house. But, anyway we had a great christmas. The boys got way to many toys, imagine that. We are now trying to find room for everything.

Santa Clause came to see the boys on Christmas Eve and make sure that they were going to go to bed early. Beckett didn't want anything to do with him, but Brody once again told him everything that he wanted him to bring.
These were from Christmas morning. Brody informed me that he didn't get the right truck. Oops! He just said he wanted a lot of toys he never specified what he wanted so maybe "Santa" will have better luck next year.

These pictures were from Christmas Eve. We opened gifts with my parents and Toby's parents. We knew that the boys were going to get so many things we wanted to break it up a little bit so they were not opening everything all in one day.

Jump n Play

I took the boys to the Jump n Play in Avon Thursday with Tony, Meredith, Turner and Berkeley. The boys had so much fun. I highly recommend this place for any one that has young kids. Since we went during the week it wasn't busy at all and the kids really got to enjoy everything.Turner and Brody climbing up the big slide and then sliding down it together. I am so glad their is someone his age that he really enjoys to play with.

Beckett wasn't so sure about everything at first because he normally does not like these things but the first time I took him down the big slide then he couldn't stop going we eventually sent him down by himself and he thought that was so funny.

Here Comes Santa Clause

This first picture is one of many that I took trying to get a good picture for our christmas cards. This was Brody's smile for every picture.I took the boys to the clubhouse to see Santa with Jason, Kristin, Conner, Joni, Harrison, David and Madelyn. Toby had to work late so he wasn't able to go. Santa was brought in on a firetruck which Brody thought was really cool. It was so cold outside that luckily we got there at the right time to see Santa light the tree and see some fireworks. We all then went inside to see if the kids were going to sit on Santa's lap without crying. Like Beckett did the first time.

Beckett did much better this time around. You can tell how interested they were to see him, but once Santa started talking to them they got into it.

Here is my picture of all the kids, it might be a little better than Kristin's, but I don't think we will every get a good one. Those boys can't sit still long enough to get there picture taken.

I think we are now officially ready for Santa to come. We hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
