It's a......

Boy!!!!!!!!!!! We are so excited to have another little man in the house, and Riley is so excited to have a little brother. We took him to the ultrasound, and he was so amazed that there was a baby in mommy's tummy. It was really sweet. Brooklyn didn't know what was going on, but she'll be all over him when he's born. I'm actually kind of nervous, because she is such a destroyer and is not very soft with anything. Anyway, everything looks fine and he's measuring big, so I might have a huge baby, even though I've only gained about 5-7 pounds, depending on the time of day! I know more will come though. I gain all my weight at the end, but I'm trying so hard to eat better this time, and exercise almost everyday, so we'll see if that makes a difference!
We're about to go to California, so I'll have some fun pictures of our trip when we come back. Our computer's been a little off lately, so posting pictures has been a nightmare, but I'll definitely post some of our trip! Hope everyone has a glorious day!!!!

Hi Y'all

Just wanted to say hi and that we're alive and well. I'm starting to feel a little better, but definitely not 100 percent. My house is always a mess, and I'm ALWAYS tired. This pregnancy is kicking my rear! I guess that's because I'm so old. Just kidding, but I feel old! We haven't really been up to anything lately because I haven't been feeling good. The kids are suffering a little from it, but we try to get out as much as possible. It's been really cold here too. I hate the cold! I need to move back to Cali, where it's warm 10 months out of the year instead of being cold 10 months out of the year here in Washington! Have a nice day!

Exciting news!!!

Well, Schyler and I are expecting another baby! It's due August 3rd, and we're really excited. I go between being really excited, to really freaking out, but mostly excited. I'm not telling my other kids just yet, or else Riley will be asking me EVERYDAY when the baby's coming, and I can't handle that just yet. I've been really sick for a few weeks, but when we went to Schyler's parents on Christmas Eve, and two days after, I felt great! Then, right after we left, I've been sick again. Crazy, but I'm so glad that I got to enjoy Christmas without throwing up! Anyway, I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, and I think I might start sharing some belly pictures, because this is our last baby, and I want to enjoy it, and be involved in it as much as I can! Happy Holidays!

10 year reunion!

I had my high school 10 year reunion a couple of weeks ago, and it was so much fun! I went with two of my best girlfriends and we just partied the night away. I got to fly down to California for it without my kids or husband, and stayed with my parents, so that was kind of weird, and really fun! I felt kind of lazy because I didn't have any responsibility. Crazy! It was a really fun four day trip, but I was ready to see my family at the end. I missed them! It was also fun hanging out with my sister Heidi and her family. Here are some pictures to enjoy!

Sorry no pictures

Of course, I can't find my camera again, so I've been holding off of posting because I want pictures included, but oh well. A little update on us. Halloween was fun. We went to my sister Jaime's house, and trick-or-treated with cousins. My newest nephew, Aidan, was born Oct. 18 and he was 8 lbs 10 oz, I think. He is adorable, of course, and he was a cow for Halloween. So cute! Riley was Hercules and Brooklyn was Tinkerbell. She was such a stinker that night and she didn't even trick-or-treat. She stayed in the stroller the whole time. She's getting her two-year molars, so she's not feeling too great right now. Anyway, other than that, we had a blast! So we FINALLY finished our kitchen floor, and put in a dishwasher (YEAAAAHHHHHH!!!!) and a new stove, so I finally have a normal kitchen. It's still hideous, but usable. Unless you have all the time in the world, I wouldn't recommend buying a fixer. It's a pain, and it takes forever! Well, happy holidays to all and to all a good night! Or something like that.

Happy Birthday Schyler!!!!

It's Schyler Birthday! Happy Birthday Schyler! I love you so much, and I appreciate all you do for our family and I'm thankful for our radical friendship. You're the best father and husband ANYONE could ever have, and I'm sure glad it's me! I love you. Here's some cute and silly pictures of our family. I realized that there are no pictures of me, so here I am in all my glory, even though I look kind of drunk in one, and just crazy in the other! He He. Thats a jellyfish that Riley drew, and just a cute picture of Brooklyn with her gap teeth. We're about to give up the binky because she cries for it all the time now, even though she knows she only gets it at nap and bed time. Both of my kids have been horribly sick this past week. Riley had a 104.4 temperature that lasted for a few days. Then one morning, it was totally gone! Brooklyn is still sick, but her temp isn't as high. I hate when my kids are sick, it's so sad.

Some house stuff

Okay, so our house was a total mess when we got here. The people that lived here were absolute pigs! I don't think they cleaned at all. I might have mentioned that already, but it has to be said again. I have some pictures of the house, mind you, this house is a fixer, so I'm kind of embarrassed to show them, but when we're all done with it, it's going to be awesome! We are almost done with the kitchen floor, our first project. It was hard work! I won't go into detail about what we did, but let me tell you, my whole body is sore! As you can tell from the pictures, we still have the edges to do, then we'll be done, and on to the next project! It's very satisfying work, and it has saved us thousands. Hopefully, we'll be done with the kitchen in the next couple of months. Yahoo! The picture of the dishwasher is disgusting, no? The people that lived here left stagnant water in it for who knows how long, but it turned to soup, and we had to ladle it out before we could move it. Thank goodness Schyler's dad was here to help, so I didn't have to experience it up close, but from afar. Still, it was funky! I'll update when we're done with the floor completely, so stay tuned! Bye Bye.
PS That spider was one of many that decided to welcome us into the neighborhood. He was the biggest, though, so we decided to capture him (or her) on film so we wouldn't forget our humble beginnings! Creepy huh?
