Our Life

Wow!! Time has gone by fast...seeing how I haven't blogged for ages.

Well I am almost 18 weeks pregnant now. We get to find out what I am brewing next Monday!!! We are going to take the boys with us as well as Seth's mom. Rosetta has never had the chance of going to see an ultrasound so we figured it would be great. We are all pretty excited about going....well Q could care less. He has no clue what is going on.

So what's new in my world....not to much. We have been trying to enjoy the outside as much as possible, the boys love it! Ike is anxiously waiting for it to get warm enough for the pool to be dragged out. For now all he gets is the water table. Ike has begun a new obsession with Teddy his bear. Ever since Ike learned of me being pregnant he cares for Teddy like it is his son. Sometimes Teddy is a baby and wears a diaper wears a bib and uses a sippy cup. He also has begun taking Teddy on many adventures.

Q on the other hand is my little monster....literally. I am constantly having to chase after him. He thinks for some reason the front of the house is a better place to play/run away. When he is doing something naughty he turns and looks at me and gives me this grin. It is partly evil and partly the cutest thing ever. I would like the just shake that little grin off his face. It is a great thing that he is SO cute. He not only runs away from me he has also started to rip all the bedding of his bed each night, escapes out unlocked doors, and has started to bully Ike. (Not that Ike doesn't deserve it at times)

What else is going on? Well we have all of a sudden gotten very busy. Seth has softball,we are preparing to have a garage sale, been ripping out ugly shrubs, planting new plants,making a new playroom for the boys and fixing up a new room for the coming baby. We have been busy indeed. And I have a feeling we won't be slowing down until fall comes back around. If then even! But we are all enjoying our lives!

And I am not talking the band.....

I am talking about a few the things that I have seen recently.

First being something at McDonalds. I enjoy me some Mcdonalds, obviously! Who doesn't enjoy their all white chicken nuggets. But 50! That is right people 50!

On our way back from Michigan we stopped at one to get me a fountain Coke. (They in my opinion have the best Fountain Coke ever! My Mom would agree with me.) And that is when i saw it....the sign advertising that you can now get a 50 piece McNugget.

No not 6, 10 or 20. But 50! Why?!?

But it gets worse....they offered a 50 piece McNugget Meal complete with a large Fountain Coke and a large fry.

Who on earth needs all that! I almost threw up!

Seth tried to use a family as an example but I could not understand what family (unless you might have many kiddos) would need 50 McNuggets.

I share a 10 piece between my two boys and I.

I guess if I was having a party a 50 piece might work out!

Second I was walking thru my favorite store Target when something in the holiday card isle caught my eye.....An Easter Romance card!

Romance cards for your spouse/significant other on Easter?!?

I don't get it.....where's the romantic part in Easter?

Well there is romance when you think about what Christ did for us.

He died for me and rose so I can go to heaven....that is Love like none other.

So yeah I guess there is romance in Easter.

But not the way these cards where talking!

Dripping Chocolate and what not...NO!!!

Maybe I am missing something....If so please let me know?

And Soon there will be 3!

I am having another one!?!

Have I forgotten what hell it was once I brought Q home? Did I forgot how the transition to two children was really hard on me? Have I forgotten how my once really sweet listening obeying little Ike turned into a MONSTER once his new brother joined our family?

I must have!

But it is all worth it! And I am willing to do it all over again.

This time will hopefully go lots smoother. I am not holding my breath though.

I think Seth has brainwashed me into this. He always reminds me how much I love being pregnant and how I truly enjoy the whole birthing process too. If it were up to Seth I would have been pregnant with my third long ago!

It is a good think that I have a really helpful husband when it comes to the kids. Otherwise there would be NO way I would even considered having more. I am married to a great man that is a GREAT father too..

We are all really excited about our growing family.

Well all that understand anyways. Q is out of the loop.
