Slacker

While vacationing, I seemed to have forgotten about Internet. It was actually kind of a nice break...not worrying about e mail or blogging or whats going on with who on facebook. I actually got a lot done a had lots of fun visits. Now, we are home and life is seeping back into normal. We are cleaning up the mess that vacation often leaves behind...and the millions of clothes we got dirty during our two weeks in Texas. There was never a second to rest there really. There were a billion projects to do, tons of dinners to attend, reunions to plan.....NEVER a dull moment there really. My feet and legs looked like an elephant's. I was ALWAYS on my feet and Brett had to tell me constantly to sit down, which I didn't listen very well. It was a busy and fun filled break and Iwill give you the details of it soon -- I promise. For now, my house looks like a tornado has run through it and my kids are slowly coming down from their sugar highs from Grandma and Grandpa's.

I hope everyone had a GREAT Christmas and a Wonderful New Year!!

Don't Worry

We are enjoying Christmas Vacation....I promise we will be back to blogging soon. We are busy busy busy!! BUT we LOVE you all and wish you a Very Merry Christmas!!!

Lately

It's crunch time here. We are Texas bound in just a few days and Cason has strep.. Awwweeeesooommmmeeee. Dr even mentioned walking pneumonia just to raise my stress and anxiety levels even higher. I seriously could've gone without her mentioning it. He is on antibiotics and is hopefully showing signs of improvement in the next two days or we might have to postpone our trip.

Wednesday I took that nasty glucose test for gestational diabetes and I PASSED!! Woot Woot!! Now I don't have to sneak behind Brett's back to enjoy all the Christmas goodies =) Since Brett has however just finished his nutrition class, come January we are a healthy, no trans fats, brown rice eating kind of people. Gunna be fuuuuunnnnn.

Today we took Brett to work a the golf course where he is a parking valet. We normally do not have to do this, but today was a hard day to own only one car. Anywho, kids were in the car and Adalie asked what this place was were Daddy was going.. Me:"Its were daddy does his valet." Adalie: "Daddy goes here to do Ballet huh? I didn't know Daddy was a dancer!!" Brett said he's not surprised, she has seen him dance and he has obvious natural talent =)

Adalie is going to miss her Christmas Program next week for preschool and she has been practicing extremely hard for it. She has been singing us the songs every night before bed and doing the dances at least twice a day. She is going to be absolutely devastated and I still have not figured out a way to break it to her. I am so worried about telling her and breaking her little heart!!

Tonight

Tonight my children practically crawled into bed themselves. They were both extremely tired and asleep by seven....well Cason chatted to himself unti about 7:20. Bedtime is normally seven thirty -- with Adalie usually protesting until 8 sometimes 8:30, so 7:00 for her at least is a BIG deal. Hope this doesn't mean they are getting sick though. And I also hope this doesn't mean they will be up at 6 am. Eewww.

It is snowing now. This isn't the first snow fall, but it looks like it will definitely make an impact on the day tomorrow. It might be sticking around for a bit. Very pretty to look at but dreadful to step foot in. Kids will be excited about it and it looks like its time to pull out the snow tube.

I keep going back and forth on names for this baby boy. Porter is our first choice, but I want to make SURE it fits. I am glad we have some time to think about it. There is also Baylen, Neldon, or Reed. I don't remember fighting with names so much with Adalie or Cason, but this time seems a little more difficult for me. I have 11 weeks to figure things out, so that's good.

Anywho, there really isn't much news or interesting things going on in this post but I am passing the time until my hubby comes home.

I really, really want a doughnut right now.

A Wicked Weekend =)

So, I have finally taken a prego picture. 27 Weeks. This time around I have gotten big....fast. knowing that there is still 10 plus weeks of growth coming from this thing makes me extremely nervous. I am swelling ALL over...this is new for me. Somehow my feet and hands and face got somewhat spared the first two times. NOT this time apparently.I have been putting my bra on like my mother....(you know, bending over to stuff them all in) and even undershirts don't seem to solve the cleavage problems I have been having. I might have to start wearing turtle necks. Yesterday while talking to Brett I said "Man I feel like I have doubled in size this last week alone!! I already weigh *censored* and I don't think I have ever been this big pregnant." Then my wonderful husband reminded me "No you went into the hospital at like 192 when you had Cason. You were big" Awww thanks honey!!!

On a happier note though =), Brett took me to go see Wicked yesterday and it was SO amazingly wonderful! I cried of course and had chills all over. Brett loved it as well. I am so happy I have a very balanced husband who enjoys both sports and his espn and also shares my love of Broadway. I Always bring the camera when we go to things like this and end up taking like one picture because I always forget I have it in my coat pocket. But, here it is- somewhat documented. It really was wonderful...so magical even =)
This is where we were sitting. Awesome seats, smack dab in the middle, and NO zoom required for the picture. We were THAT close. Very, very awesome. Thank You honey for taking me. It was SUCH a blast!!

Weird Kids

So wired things I have caught my kids doing lately.

Cason talking to the wall. Quite frequently.
Adalie licking the carpet. Wow
Cason wearing Adalie's Princess dress while reading books.
Adalie eating cauliflower.


All of these things I sort of treated with a don't ask don't tell kind of attitude.
