It's a girl!!!

That pretty much sums it up, right? :) I'll post pictures and details later.

David makes me laugh!

When I went to get David from his nap today, his jammies were lumpy. Apparently he had unzipped his pjs, stuffed in his kitty kak, penguin, and duck, and then zipped his pjs back up. I'm not sure why, but it made me laugh so hard. I was letting Erik sleep a few extra minutes, and I could barely hold the laughter in as I got David out of their room.

Lumpy, stuffed jammies. I wonder if this is what I look like to him? Perhaps I should feel flattered that he is imitating me? Perhaps not.

I tried to take a picture of what was inside, but David quickly stopped me.

And then gave me this look.



And then said "Kitty kak stay in jammies!" Okay David. Whatever makes you happy. :)

3 more sleeps!!!!!!

Only 3 more sleeps until we find out if our new baby is a boy or a girl. We thought it would be fun to see what others think we are having, so if you'd like, go ahead and vote in the poll on the side of our blog. We'll be sure to let everyone know on Friday!

J was for Jellybeans...

As part of the home school preschool program we are following, the boys have been making a letter of the week. A is for alligator, e is for elephant, j is for jellybeans, etc. They really love it, and I've been putting each page in a sheet protector and then in a three ring binder to make a book. They just love their ABC books.

Apparently, they love them a little too much. They were reading them during blanket time a few days ago, and when I came back to check on them, they were eating the J page! Yep, they just bit right through the sheet protectors to get to the jelly beans. Yum! I guess we need a new J page. Perhaps some jellybean stickers this time.

Their poor J pages.

Super good news!!!

So it has been so long since I blogged (again), but this time, I have a really good excuse! We're expecting again!!! Our little baby (yep, just one this time) is growing strong, and I just heard the heartbeat again last week. I'm about 13.5 weeks along, so my morning sickness (which actually happens in the evenings) is starting to let up. My estimated date of delivery is July 25th, so we're having another summer baby.

I have so many super cute things to blog about (despite my feeling crappy, the boys have been just as cute, funny, and delightful as ever), and I promise to get back in the swing of things soon. Just as soon as I get my rather messy home under control. :)

Here's a picture of new baby at about 7 weeks. We can't wait to find out if he is a he or she is a she. :)

Halloween 2010 (a little, okay, a lot late)

Wow. I can't believe I haven't blogged in over a month. I wish I had a good excuse... I don't though.

Anyway, here are some darling pictures from Halloween this year. And yes, I made their costumes. It was so much fun that I can't wait to make them something for next year!

The whole family at our trunk-or-treat.

David ready to go home. I promise he enjoyed himself. But it doesn't look like it in any of the pictures. :)

Pumpkin Patch

A few weeks ago, we went on a family outing to the pumpkin patch. The Flower Mound pumpkin patch in Flower Mound, Texas is awesome. They have a train (weekends only), hay rides, slides, bounce houses, a jail (hehe), and tons of character cutouts. And of course, a lot of pumpkins. The best part? Everything (except the pumpkins) is free!!! We had so much fun, and we might make another trip if we have the time. Here are a few of the many awesome moments we captured. There is nothing better than watching your children have fun.

Pumpkins!

David about to go down...

A really big slide!!!



Erik's turn!

Erik trying to get the "cheese." That's what they call the camera.

David having a great time. Yay!

Daddy was sad that we didn't take any pictures of him. So we took this one while driving home. :)
