7 Years of Marital ... ummmmm ... Bliss :)

Thank you honey. These years have flown by and it's so fun to be married to you.

You know all those years you spent day dreaming about your wedding and how perfect and wonderful it would be but you know what? 7 years later the only thing out of the whole ordeal that matters is the one you picked! I sure must be a good picker :)

Sweet Baby Three...

This is the little bundle that has been causing so much commotion. I've been having ultrasounds every month because my doctor is concerned about all of my medicines affecting the way he is growing - so far so good however, he's doing great. The upside has definitely been seeing him grow all along the way. Oh man it's so cool. If you ever have the opportunity to get an ultrasound at about 30 weeks - do it! It was so amazing. Every detail is there and perfect! He is 2 lbs 2 oz and 16 inches long. He is cute already but a little too skinny :) My dad says he has my grandpa's nose - poor kid, he should have let Papo keep it :) I keep looking at this picture over and over, I can't wait to compare it to the real deal!!! I keep wondering how accurate it is, is this really my baby? He's in there kicking me day and night and night and night and night - he's a night owl if you aren't catching my drift... and you know, it's this big mystery - who's features he'll have and what he'll be like. I feel like I cheated somehow - seeing him, I feel like I know him already seeing his little face in 3D - it's crazy!

Two more months little guy, then you can meet your brother and sister, who are DYING to meet you (although they are in for BIG disappointment - I think they are under the impression you'll come out ready to play...) and you can meet your big crazy dad - don't worry if he's scared of you at first, babies are kind of like aliens to him, he thinks he'll break you, just wait until you can crawl - then he will be your favorite person in the entire world :) You already know me. I'm the one who keeps patting your bum when you stick it in my rib cage and pushing you when you sit on my bladder. There are so many people that love you and you haven't even stepped out of the amniotic fluid yet :) We can't wait to see the real you little boy - now if you could just tell me what you would like your name to be?!?!?!

Did You Know Some People BUY Worms???

This is my little garden. I miss having a house. It was so fun, while it lasted. Now it'll be years before I can call a place my own. BUT for now I can still have my friends - the pretend garden :)

The biggest pot is my pride and joy, BLUEBERRIES!!! I know they don't look like much but they will. I'll post a picture of them next year - they'll have happy little blue deliciousness attached to them - if I don't kill it :) Then there are some pepper plants, cucumbers, peas and strawberries - well, the strawberries are in a hanging basket so this pic doesn't show them - move to the next one...

If it turns out as pretty as it is in my imagination there will be vines of strawberries draping over the edges of the basket, there's a little bud and there have been more but the stupid birds think I am growing them to them to eat...

This is what entertains my children while they play outside... Look closely - not at the green pepper plant but at the dirt at the bottom of the picture... They used to dig up worms and make 'castles' for them - until I told them that worms FAVORITE thing is to be in pots. Every one of my pots is the happy owner of ... hmmmm, I'd estimate 20-100 worms :) Everyday they find a handful more and dump them into their new 'castle.' I love it :)

Isn't that the happiest little face - orange popsicle lips and all! Oh man I love 'em. Dillon does the digging but for some reason he doesn't pick up the worms - that's Kenzie's job. She sits next to him waiting until he says there is a worm then she jumps up and gathers up all the worms he uncovered. Some sort of plan they must have worked out...

Random side note - I switched to Picasa and now my pictures don't rotate when I upload them - solution from my Picasa using friends???
