Cute singing little angels!

Fo Sho

It was confirmed yesterday- a girl it is! So weird saying "daughter". A lot of change to get used to this year but all of it is good!

Big News!

So I realized I have some blogger friends who do not have FB so some of you don't know our big news. Yep, you guessed it...Pregnant!! Woo hoo. And even bigger news...Girl!! I'm 15 weeks and had an U/S yesterday and though she had her hand in an inconvenient spot, the doctor was pretty certain baby was a she. We'll confirm next month but remembering my boys U/S's and how obviously boy they were, this one is definitely girl. It was so fun to see her for the first time and now our family will be complete! We're not closing the door on a possible 4th but we are for sure happy and grateful for what we have. Due 10/19/2010. Hoping for 10/10/10 (wouldn't that be so cool!!).

2010-so far...

Time to catch up a bit. We've had a few very funny moments this year and I so need to post the proof. I had a good feeling about 2010 and it's already going by too quickly but we're loving it! This is definitely going to be an awesome year-I know it! So the picture above is quite obvious. Ryker found the marker's.

This was tonight. I'm still trying to get these rugrats to put all the books back.

I'm doing the dishes and all of a sudden I hear Ryker-"mess. I spilled." No clue how he got yogurt on his head/face like that.

This was hysterical! The Lincoln Logs tube was literally stuck to his perfectly huge head. He was crying and I was laughing my butt off and snapping pictures. I'm not a very nice mother. Poor baby. I almost had to break out the Crisco but somehow we managed it off.

At the park-weather has been perfect!

Dr. Doolittle caught a couple pigeons. Gross huh? We brought bread for the ducks and all the pigeons on the planet heard about it and flew over to us. The kids loved it.

Me want more cake!

Ding dong the goats are gone! But really, they asked for it. We came home from church one day to find them in the house. For those who don't know, they are not indoor animals. If I had had a gun, they would be dead. Although, it makes me sad to see this picture. The boys just loved them.

We got a Wii for Christmas and the boys even love it. Here's Jaxon skiing. And yes, he's wearing the smallest size underwear they make. :)

Hope everyone else is having a great year as well!

Halloween and the FAIR!!!

Halloween was so perfect this year! We found the perfect costumes for the perfect price and the weather was perfect-cold so my babies weren't hot all night! Jaxon loved being a dragon and painting his face. Ryker surprisingly wore his costume and let me paint his face too!



Brian just had to get these weird contacts. He all but cried trying to get them out. :)
Jaxon and Klayton got tired at trunk or treat had rested in some bushes.
Ryker pretty much whined all of trunk or treat. He was much happier on Halloween but I sadly didn't get a better picture of him.

We didn't carve pumpkins until Sunday...we just did not have time before Halloween to do it.

So we went to the fair yesterday and had so much fun!! It was how I remembered it as a kid. Indian Fried bread, rides, and prizes.
This was our fave. Both Jaxon and Ryker went through this mirror house and both kept running into the windows. It was so funny! It looked painful but they didn't notice. They loved it and everyone watching laughed at them every time they hit a wall. :) ha ha ha! This picture was taken of Ryker seconds before hitting the window.
Jaxon wasn't quite tall enough to ride ride's alone but the fair people don't question anything so we let him and he was so proud of himself. I went on a spinning ride with him and he giggled the whole time. No sound makes a mother happier, well, besides no sound-that's nice too.I really don't like this ride but Jaxon does. Heights freak me out. Ryker went on a horse ride while Jaxon and I did some others' since he wasn't tall enough at all. He loved it though. He was a good sport.

We also did the photo booth and charactertures (sp?). If I can figure out how to scan them, I'll post because they are super cute! Can't wait to go again next year!

10 Reasons why I love Winter! & pix of the corn maze

1. Cheaper Utility bills-except for water, those hot showers are hard to break away from.
2. Can take kids out of the house and play at the park!
3. Sleep is so much better!
4. I don't have to shave my legs as often. :)
5. Cold air just smells better, right?
6. Can use my oven in the middle of the afternoon (no seriously, I am loving that!).
7. The hustle and bustle of the holiday season.
8. I like my winter clothes better than my summer ones.
9. I can leave butter on the counter and it won't melt.
10. Getting cozy by a fire with my family!

The boys liked pretending to milk the cow.

The tractor ride.

Jaxon loved to lead us through the corn maze. We couldn't find any of the hole punches. Are they even really there?

These things were so cool! We want them!

The boys really like rocks. Here is Jaxon showing Ryker a rock.

Jaxon's 3rd Birthday

Another fun Jaxon birthday. Actually, this was the first of my kids' birthdays that most of our friends were able to come to, which turned out to be a good thing because most of my side of the fam wasn't able to make it. Here's a few pix in random order. I have tons more but not the time to post them all. Maybe I will on facebook...

Jaxon sang happy birthday with us of course. He loved his Iron Man cake!
Grandma and Grandpa bought him some little frogs. What little boy doesn't love that?

Ryker's cute attempt at the pinata.

Couldn't find an Iron man one so we went with the next best thing...dinosaur!

This is their Christmas present so we pretended to rent it for the day. This bouncer turned out a lot bigger than expected and the kids had a blast!

We let Jaxon open his present from us the day before (his actual birthday anyway). Can't go wrong with a big Iron Man. He carries it everywhere! Plus we knew if we didn't give it to him then, it would be trumped by the grandparents present's at the party. :)
A chick-fil-e opened up by us and has a play thing. We sooooo needed that. We took Jax there and he had so much fun!
I took a gazillion shots to get this one. I couldn't get the kid to sit still! I just want to say how much I love this little dude! He has brought more joy to our lives than we ever imagined. It's weird to look at him and see this little boy and not the baby I like to think he is. Thank you Jaxon for being such a great son and also for being an example to me. I pray more than anything for you to continue to be the little happy ball of sunshine you are. We love you!

Thanks again to everyone who came. We have awesome friends. Also thanks to my parents for lending their empty house to us for the night. It was so nice!
