I know, I know....

It's been forEVER since I've updated my blog. But I have a good reason. Really, I do. And it comes in the form of an announcement. 

WE'RE PREGNANT!!!!

OK, I know most of you already know this, but some of our family and relatives did not. So instead of trying to blog and avoid talking about our excitement while we waited until we told everyone, I avoided blogging all together. That and the WRETCHED morning sickness that plagued me up until the last couple weeks kept me laid up for a while. Hoo boy, it was rough. Taking care of 2 kids and a husband while wanting to throw up 24 hours a day was NOT fun. BUT! I'm back to the living again. And getting more and more excited every day.

I'm due at the end of July and am now officially in my 2nd trimester. Two weeks from today we will find out if it's a boy or a girl. Yes, I know. We are impatient. I don't know how anyone can wait until they have the baby! Haha. Patience have never been my strong point. (Ask my sweet husband, he's received the brunt of it since the hormones kicked in.)

So I'm sure this will officially turn into a pregnancy blog for the next 6 months. Bear with me while I blog about it all. We are excited! We've wanted another baby for so long and it's finally our turn again.

So here are some pictures from the past couple months...

November 19,2008:

I almost fell over from shock when I saw 2 lines. I just sat there and laughed and cried and laughed some more.

And as soon as Rodeoman got home from work, I surprised he and the girls with a "package". I think that look on his face is pure shock. (I'll post the story of how I told him in the next post. The girls reaction was priceless.)

Our first ultrasound on 12/29/08. SO CUTE!

And of course the obligatory belly shots. Although these are mostly "bloating shots"  Heh.

I can't believe how quickly time is going by. Before I know it, we are going to have another precious baby to snuggle. We are SO grateful for this little one and can't wait to meet him/her. And now that everyone in our family knows, I promise to keep up on my blog.

Ahhhhh...still floating from meeting her ♥

I hope she comes back again soon. It was a great show for sure. I just wish my little(est) sister could have been there with us. Then it would have been perfect! Oh, and I have more pictures to post and even a video. But that will come later. I have a munchkin that needs to be tucked in and read to. :)

I got to meet her...I got to meet her....I GOT TO MEET HER!!!!

I cannot believe it. Tonight, I got to meet THE Ingrid Michaelson!!! (If you don't know who she is, first of all, SHAME on you! Scroll down and play one of her songs off my playlist and you'll know who I'm talking about) My sister and I got to go to her show in Sacramento and afterward we decided to sit for a few minutes and OUT SHE CAME! She signed my CD and we even got to take pictures with her and talk for a few! There weren't many people left in the place so we only had to share her with a handful of other girls. It was stinkin' AWESOME! (Photos to follow later as I didn't take my big ol' camera in there for fear of looking like the paparazzi so I'll post them as soon as I get them from my Sisters camera.)
Anyway, She is a DOLL and her show was phenominal! I had a great, wonderful, MUCH NEEDED night. Although, I don't think my feet have ever hurt this bad before. We stood there, in HEELS, from 8:45pm until 1:30-ish am. Yeah. Ouch.
Oh, and I learned a very valuable lesson from looking at the pictures we took on my sisters camera. Ruffles and tops that flare below the waist are NOT slimming. I've got some serious photoshopping to do before those ones are posted. *Yikes* But until then, I'll leave you all with these little teasers....

LOOK... LOOK....there it is....her signature! I so heart her!

And I know this is only funny because it's almost 3am and I'm deliriously tired, but I put the CD under my desk lamp for light to take the pictures and it looks like I put a hat on her. LOL. I know, right. Hardy har har.Alright. I am taking my seriously unfunny self to bed. My Rockstar energy drink is wearing off in a big way and I'm pooped. Nite!

Please pray for this woman and her family...

She is missing and her family are just worried sick about her. She left for work one morning in late October and never made it there. Please pray for her safe return.

There is a right way to hold a chicken...

And this definitely isn't it.

Would you look at the face on that kid??? And the look on Penny's face. (Yes, as in "Henny Penny") You can almost hear what she's thinking. "Are you kidding me with this kid?!? I've got no dignity left!" HAHAHA!

OK, Here we go. This is the right way...


My girls LOVE to hold any chickens they can get their hands on. Usually they aren't quick enough to be able to catch one but this one in particular was being rather feisty and kind of aggressive yesterday and chasing after us, so Stinkbug decided she was going to just pick her up to "teach her a lesson". What happened next was pretty funny. Penny fell asleep. She let Stinkbug drag her all over the place and just kept her eyes closed the whole time. (Although, I play possum when I want my kids to leave me alone too, so Penny may be smarter than I'm giving her credit for. ;) )

And after the hold Stinkbug had her in, I think it's safe to say Penny will leave her alone from now on.

Dad, I am still haunted by our Oregon trip.

Oh the memories of indigestion this video brings back...


Hot Pockets. Not for the weak. LOL!
