I am slowly going crazy.....

Does anybody remember the song...." I am slowly going crazy, 123456 switch, crazy going am I slowly, 654321 switch?" My sister used to sing it alot when we were growing up. Today has been a crazy day. I went to my "job" this morning helping my neighbor. I guess it's a job since I do recieve payment.....anyway. I left early to go to Scott's class party. Went back to work and then left for McKenna's class party. Both of them enjoyed me being there, and I loved it. Cody came along with me and was worn out by the time McKenna's party was over. Then we went to a friends house for a few minutes and McKenna was eating a candy corn and her tooth practically fell out. Yes, there was drama that went along with that too. Ever heard the saying "Go big, or go home?" Well she did both!!:) The kids are excited for Halloween tomarrow and this year it the year that I have been the least ready. Yes, the kids are prepared, but nothing else really is. I think I might go as a convict again this year, for the possibly 3rd year in a row!! Atleast I know it will fit!:) Things have been going pretty well pregnancy wise.....other than the moody days and sleepless nights. Poor Mike, I wonder how he even survives with me some days. I'm sure being busy with callings and military duties helps a bit. I have a doctors appointment on Monday and I am excited for that. Then only 4 weeks after that to find out if our baby looks human!!:) All my dreams point to our baby being a girl, but it will be fun to see if I am right or not. Mike has chosen to say it's a boy, I think to keep things competitive!! I love that man!! Well, I'll keep you posted and should have pictures next time around.

2 posts in 1 day?!


I know you're all shocked. But I found the pictures from last Halloween and I decided that since I don't have any to post for this year yet, I'd post last years. My brother Nick, was a man being carried in a box....it was the funniest thing ever!! My brother Hunter was Batman, McKenna was a mermaid, Scott was Spiderman and Cody was a Lion. This year McKenna plans to be dressed up as Barbie from Swan Lake, Scott will be a baseball player ( that's what he wants to be when he grows up too), and Cody will be Batman. I tried Cody's costume on him and he didn't mind it except for the cape.....hopefully with him getting some candy he'll forget all about the cape. This year I think I might be a scarecrow. We'll have to see how creative I can get!!

Expecting

No, sorry there is no picture for this post. I guess there could be, but we all know that at this point all we can make out of the picture is an alien baby. Yes, that's what we currently have growing inside me....an alien! No matter, our kids are as excited as ever. This is our last time around (4 is a good number) since my body can't do another pregnancy anyway. We are due April 26, 2010. We also found out this last week that my brother-in-law and his wife are expecting too. Funny, I have to tell you the story. I saw I missed a call from him so I called him back with seeing what was up and letting them know we were pregnant. He told me they were pregnant and I just started laughing. Who knew we were calling to tell eachother the same thing?!! I am super excited for them since this is their first and they will be amazing parents. Anyway, they are due 3 days after us. Talk about close cousins!! You almost can't get any closer than that!!:) Since we have to have C-Sections everytime I told them to let me know when they go into labor and I'll do my best to make sure we don't have it on the same day. Honestly, I'd be fine if they were born on the same day, but it's their first and that's special. I am glad to be pregnant at the same time as them!!! McKenna is set on having a sister so we'll see what happens. I mentioned to her that if we have a girl she will have to share her room. She wasn't thrilled about that, but said she still wanted a sister anyway. I wish in a way there wasn't such a gap between these two if we end up having a girl. McKenna will be 7 by the time we have our baby. Anyway, we are excited and wanted to let you know. We will find out if we are having a boy or a girl on December 7th, so we'll keep you all posted.
