All smiles

No ladies, you are not seeing double, so don't worry about having your eyes checked again! I just couldn't make up my mind as to which one I liked the best. So you get two for the price of one. These pictures were just so cute that I had to post them for my family and friends. It is so amazing to me that even in the womb they are happy! So HE/SHE is waving in the top right picture and in the bottom left picture, HE/SHE is really relaxed with the hands behind the head and one of HIS/HER legs is propped up on the other. That is some serious slackin' chillaxin!

So I went in for my ultrasound today and they did their normal check on the baby to make sure that the due date was still the same and to measure the baby to see if HE/SHE is growing properly and growing according to the guessed due date. The baby measures about 3 days less than what my due date is, so maybe if I am REALLY lucky, maybe HE/SHE will be born three days later on my birthday!!!! I already share my birthday with my sister, so why not have the opportunity to share it with my own child. We will just have to wait and see!!!!

Curious Minds Want To Know

So I am guessing by all the "How are you doings?" that have been made and all the strange looks that I have been given recently, by now many of you have already figured out that the rat got out of the bag!!!! Plus, since I can't seem to hide it any longer, YES we are expecting baby number 5. This was completely planned, no accidents and no unexpectedness. We don't have many details other than we are beginning our 4th month this coming week. For those who wish to know, I am due August 8. In the beginning, there was a few tears shed by me, mostly of being scared! We are very excited, but nervous as anyone with 5 children should be, but we know that we are doing what the Lord has asked of us and surely we will be blessed, sooner or later!

By the way, anyone looking to sell a huge van, we may need it! LOL

Feeling Under Pressure??? Not at all.

Well I have to say that I know that it isn't completely over yet, but for the most part, we have graduated from diapers to big boy under wear!!!! Weee haaaawwww!~ Now, the test is, can we go potty outside of the home bathroom? We will wait and see tomorrow at church~

Oops, I spoke too soon~ But made progress, Dylan just had a poopy accident cause he couldn't get his underpants off. But at least he made the connection! So this is the 3 bath he has had today due to the first two getting ice cream all over his body. That is his reward for going poop and pee in the potty.

Louis is at work today and so I am here taking care of the house today, except I haven't done anything because I have been having to run Dylan to the bathroom and changing Cameron's diapers. Now, here is the funny or not so funny part. Cameron has had non-solid diapers for about a week now, we are still trying to figure out why. So as I am cleaning up Dylan from his mess, here comes Cameron down the hallway with his diaper, leaving a trail all the way down the hall. So here I am cleaning up the hallway with a bleach water in one hand and the can of Lysol in the other to get the stench of the poop out of my house.

At this point, I am thinking, "What am I doing?" I am so frustrated at this point that all I can do is write about it on this silly blog so that I can just read about it and laugh when I calm down from all this craziness. I was doing good until Cam woke up from his morning nap! Not that it was his fault by any means, but I am feeling the pressure at this point as you can imagine! But none the less, one is half way to being potty trained and one is well, still a baby!

Ah the things children do!

This morning was a late start for us at our house. We were trying to get everyone ready to go for school this morning and when the boys were all done, some how they were able to get my set of kitchen tongs and chase the cat with them. My poor kitty was so afraid, "MEOW" she said. The next thing I know, poor Pepper is caught in the grasp of my kitchen tongs and my 4 year old son, who by the way was laughing the whole time. Need less to say, we had a discussion about being kind to animals. Is this really how my day is going to go today?

Like Father, Like Son

Louis is notorious for thanking me about dinner being made when he sees that I am working hard on dinner. Today we decided (ok, I decided) that for lunch we would have leftover spaghetti and salad. So I am heating it up in the microwave, then proceed to dish out the spaghetti and this is what cute little Logan says:

Logan:"Thanks for making dinner honey"
me: "Why you are welcome dear"
Logan: "I am not a deer, I'm a Logan."

Car Blues

Anyone who owns a vehicle must have gone through this at one point in there life. Turn key, engine doesn't start. Yep, that is us! We have been stuck at our home since Saturday with no way to get out. I just am waiting patiently or impatiently, however you look at it, until we can figure out what is that has our van sick! Louis has always been really good at diagnosing the problem, but for some reason, this time we are stumped. So we will be using the little car until we can find out what is wrong with the van.

HURRAY!!!!!! Another Successful Attempt

Go Dylan Go!

As many of you may already know, I started several months ago at potty training and had one successful potty day. Ever since then, well, it was unsuccessful, so during the holidays, I didn't even try. Some may say that I was dumb for giving up, but I didn't want to add to the stress of the holiday season anyway.

Now that the holiday season is over, I have been, this last week, trying again. No success~ UNTIL TODAY!!! Little Dylan was so upset today and afraid to poop in his Car Pull-ups. So we asked him if he wanted to go potty in the big boy potty. Of course I was quite skeptical because there was no success this week, not even with pee. To my surprise he ran to the potty and grabbed the potty seat and put it on the toilet, climbed up and with a little patience, he began to poop in the potty! We were so excited that we did the potty dance and gave stickers and M&M's.
