Yesterday was Mothers Day. It rained all day but otherwise, it was still a good day. Haylee and Ethan couldn't wait to give me their gifts. They had made some things at school and also colored some pictures for me here at home. Isaac even scribbled on paper for me :o)
Mike got me a huge tomato plant and some Mrs Millers pepper mustard dip! Yay!! The man apparently knows I like to eat!
I went to my Moms church that morning and then picked up pizza and mothers day cupcakes and we all went back to her house for dinner.
Mike took Ethan and Brandon home later that evening and I took Haylee and Isaac and went with my Mom to a church where our old Pastor (Rudy) was preaching. We loved him sooo much and I was pretty upset when they announced their resignation from the church. We hadn't seen him or Sharon since they left about 4 years ago, so it was nice to see/hear them again. I really miss those days....and I miss my Mom going to church with me too. She left my church a year ago to go somewhere else. I know she has to go where she feels led to be....but that doesn't make me miss her any less :o(
Anyways, it was a good day overall!

Busy Day!
Today was Mike's 39th birthday. Next year is the big 40!!
I took Haylee to the Red Cross this morning for a class to earn her first aid badge. Good job Haylee-girl! Now we know who to run to if we choke on a chicken bone or something ;o) Just kidding - I am really glad she learned those things. Mike and I were actually discussing taking the adult class. We both learned those things in high school but geez, that was like....5 years ago....heeheehee
After we picked her up, we all went out to lunch for Daddys birthday, then we were off to the big Art show! Haylee and Ethan both got their artwork picked to be on display. Poor little Ethan hates art class but he was so proud of his caterpillar today. Haylee had two things, a sunflower picture and a self portrait. Sooo proud of them both!!

Will you have me?
This is Isaac's new way of asking someone to hold him or pick him up - "Will you have me"? It's soooo stinkin' cute!! I love to hear him say it. You just can't say no to that sweet little face.
I went to a garage sale this morning with Rachel (the preggo Aunt). She found some gender neutral things and I got 2 outfits for our baby and a few cute onesies. I can't wait until garage sale season is in full swing!! Today was only the beginning :o)
We went to visit my Gramma today and Isaac 'helped' Papa Ray outside in the greenhouse. They shoveled some dirt, checked the plants and walked around the yard. Papa always comes in and says "That boy wears me out". Yeah, Isaac has a way of doing that.
Brandon had a zoo trip for school today. He said it was boring because most of the exhibits were under construction. He also didn't like it because they gave them some worksheets to do while they were there ;o)
Ethan and Haylee will both have their artwork displayed at an art show on Saturday. That is exciting, especially for Ethan since he really dislikes art class for some odd reason.
Tomorrow is another OB/GYN appointment....Yippeee....can you sense my sarcasm? They are pretty boring and pointless at this stage. But I'll be the good patient and spend $10 in gas to go pee in a cup, tell the doc that I feel fine, and then drive back home. LOL

Pregnant!!
No, not me....well, I am too but this post isn't about me :o)
My Aunt found out this morning that she is pregnant with her first baby! She is 35 and they only tried for one month. I am beyond excited because we grew up like sisters and I always thought it would be so great to be pregnant together. Finally, we get to do that - even though I only have 3 months left.
This morning I woke up to my alarm and then dozed off for a few minutes and in that time, I dreamed that she came to me with a PG test and told me it was negative. So I held it up near a window and said "No, it's POSITIVE!! It's just very light!!". I woke up sad when I realized it was a dream but about 10 minutes later she called me crying and said "Trace, I think I see a line!"....I said "I think you see one too because I just dreamed it a few minutes ago!" LOL
Of course I had to rush to her house to see the line for myself :o)
She will be due January 6th according to the online due date calculators. Our babies will only be 5 months apart, yay!!!
Congrats Rachel & Josh!!

Sunny Days
It was a beautiful week here! Mike was out of work due to some back pain so he was home all week too and we spent alot of time outside. I think we ate outside on the picnic table at least once every day. I LOVE Spring! Too bad next week's weather doesn't look so great. Upper 40's for the high's - what is that about??
Anyways, we did some yard work and some power washing. I love the smell of cut grass! I also lined the flower garden with rocks that we found in the field next to us. I overdid it and had a couple of painful days after that. Of course I got alot of "I told you so's" from Mike, and my Mom says I need to "act like I'm pregnant" LOL....but hey, my yard looks good right now :o)
Isaac is taller this year and he has taken over Ethan's power wheels 4-wheeler. He just turned 2 in January but he can steer it perfectly and he knows how/when to reverse and back up. I think we'll need to invest in another one or hopefully find one at a garage sale. When Ethan gets on it, Isaac runs behind him the whole time, crying "my ride, my ride!!"
Isaac is definitely the out-door-sy one. Is that a word? From the moment he wakes up he is asking to go 'outlide'. I can hardly get him to stop playing long enough to eat and if we have to go in for awhile it's a dramatic crying scene. He has been more difficult about laying down for a nap too. I am not ready for him to stop napping yet!! LOL But honestly, he still NEEDS a nap. If he doesn't take one around 1pm then he wants to fall asleep around 6-7pm and that's not going to work out well.
Our next big step is potty training. It would be nice to have him out of diapers by August when the baby arrives. But, we'll see how it goes.

The Baby Girl
A few weeks ago I was worried because I was hardly feeling any movement from this baby. She is still a light kicker and during the day when Im moving around I don't really notice anything going on. Mike and the kids have not been able to feel anything on the outside yet....but this morning I woke up at 4:30am and there was a party going on in there! I could feel her rolling and kicking and some small lumpy body parts pushing outward on my belly. Quite shocking compared to her usual light taps and thumps! Of course, I stayed awake to enjoy the moment. It went on for probably 20 minutes before she settled down again. Now I am wondering if she just sleeps all day and parties all night :o) A sign of things to come? Let's hope not!!This picture is from last week at 22 weeks. I am now 23 1/2 weeks. We're getting there, but August still seems like so far away!!
