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.

A Shout out toThe InLaws

I consider myself one of the lucky few in the world to have married into a GREAT family!! Especially my overly cute and wonderful in laws =) They came to visit all Thanksgiving week and it was SO great! They spoiled us immensely with delicious food, awesome company, presents, fun game time, cleaning, doing laundry, and even babysitting. It was absolutely beyond wonderful to have them here and I love it every time we get to see them. I have been a little embarrassed lately though because my not so good side comes out when I am pregnant. So, they got to see a lot of grumpy, nauseated, and mean Lydia yelling at her kiddos, but I am assuming they still love me anyway. I might of, however, gone down a few notches with my father-in-law when he found out I actually hate John Wayne and Clint Eastwood.....(he is a ginormous western fan). Sorry about that one dad...BUT I do absolutely adore Sam Elliot and I can say that Lonesome Dove is one of my favorites.

My mother in law got a wonderful new camera, so we took all of the pictures of their visit with hers. Of course, I forgot to get them on the computer before she left so I am MIA on Thanksgiving pictures and even us celebrating a little early Christmas together since we won't get to see them this year. I DID however get pictures of Adalie's beautiful room that my mother in law decked out for her!! I LOVE it SO much!! She made these gorgeous valances for both Adalie's room and Cason's and it is BEYOND fun to actually have a little girl room and a boy room!! Seriously, I love love love it so much! I make Brett go in and look at it at least 2 or 3 times a day since it was all put together. Just a few more things to go in Cason's room (hint, hint to brett for some sports bedding)All in all it was such a wonderful visit and we miss them so much already. Dad- Cason keeps asking for coke and keeps wanting us to put pretzels in his pocket. Mom- Adalie was covering up with her new blanket and said "I love this blanket. It is so soft and smells so good....is smells just like Grandma."

Thanks mom and dad. We miss you and it was so awesome to have you here. We love you

A few pictures I got....
