I'M ALIVE!

Just wanted to let everyone know that I am alive and kicking and everything is fine.....just really really really really (did I say really enough?) busy.....and tired :) Soccer and baseball and the end of school activities are sucking up all my time and energy, and I have put blogging on the backburner.....BUT school finally ends on Friday and I am hoping things will slow down a bit...HA~who am I kidding..but I am planning an update with pictures etc. about what we have been up to lately.....

Thanks to everyone who has been worried about me and for all your well wishes and prayers....

Alex playing soccer last spring in Elkhorn, Nebraska.

I can't remember if he scored a goal or not, but it sure looks like he was going to!

I'm always amazed at how much difference a year makes....Alex is so much taller and bigger now....and is face looks so much older! Ugh! Time sure flies...

Wordless Wednesday-Nick and Brian Sing "The Itsy Bitsy Spider"

Boy oh Boy!

IT'S A GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Apparently I am in the 5% of women who's blood test to determine the sex of the baby was wrong!!! The ultrasound tech said everything looks perfect and that she's a she! Wow! I can't even express the shock I feel right now!!! Nathan said we needed to name her Sissy Sassy....we'll see!

ohhhh that teeny little baby! Brian was 2 months old in this picture taken last February. I watch him walking around, kicking and throwing balls and saying a few words and I can't believe just a short time ago he was this small cuddly guy! How time flies! Just because I can't help it, I have to add a few other photos of my precious boy from that session.... He wasn't quite as happy for the other photos taken that day! :)

Doctor appointments and baseball games

16 weeks......I had a doctor's appt. today...everything is looking good....Heart rate in the 150's, size of my uterus is accurate, etc. I set up an ultrasound for a couple of weeks from now and I am excited to see this baby again ~ face to face~...

Nathan #4

Astros
3 1/2 years old

3 ft 2 inches

28 lbs

Position: outfielder

Batting average 1.00

On base percentage: 100%

errors: several :)

Is this little boy not the smallest most precious little baseball player you have ever seen? We've been playing for close to a month now (with all three big boys), but this is our first time to take pictures. It has been too darn cold, windy and rainy to pull out the camera....it wasn't much better tonight (FREEZING), but Prince Charming felt it was time to document our little guy's baseball prowess.....

It totally cracks us up that he rides to baseball games in a 5 point harness car seat, kicking his little cleats together with his baseball cap on backwards and wad of gum in his mouth..... can't ya just picture it????

He is the smallest (and youngest) kid on our team....He was a foot shorter than a couple of the guys on the other team....(His team is playing 5 and under t-ball)~ but these sweet little 3 and 4 year olds are definitely holding there own with the 5 year olds!

Alex has a baseball tournament this weekend and I am hoping to get some good pics of him~supposed to be better weather....and I'll have to wait til next week to document Nick's dominance.... :)

Is there anything cuter than a little boy in a baseball uniform???

How cute is that face???

Run Nathan, run!Smack!
I'm ready coach!
catch the ball, throw the ball
ahhh, missed....

Brian trying to keep warm at the game....
Nathan's three amigo's bundled up at the game.......man it was so cold!

Zoo Trip and some other stuff

We took a little field trip to the OKC Zoo over spring break....it was FREEZING, but we still enjoyed our time there...They had a new dinosaur exhibit that the boys thought was really cool...and I really loved it because it was inside and a little warmer...here are some photos from that day... Alex wanted me to take a picture of EVERY animal we saw....so I added a couple animal pics in honor of him. :) It's a good thing my camera hold a lot of photos...I had about 100 random animal pics on my camera! ☺

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm really starting to nest....I've been making curtains and picking out paint colors for every room in the house.....everyone just loves it when I nest because they all get to participate! HA! My mom has been making curtains for me too and I can't wait for Prince Charming's ankle to be well enough to do some painting for me....aren't they lucky????? ☺

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here are some pictures of the goofball playing in his tent....I couldn't capture how funny it was with these photos (probably because I was cracking up)...He kept sticking his head out of the tent and then laughing hysterically at himself and rolling back into the tent in one of those cute baby belly laughs. I just love this boy!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've got a doc appt. this week where I assume I will schedule the BIG ultrasound.....I'll keep y'all updated! Getting excited! Have a great day!

1st picture with the color BROWN

This was Thanksgiving 2 years ago...the boys were breaking the wishbone, but they wouldn't let us dry it out and it was all rubbery....I don't think it actually ever split it in two....

Ultrasound 13 weeks...looking like a baby now!

I'm a Flybaby and some random stuff

I have offically become obsessed with http://www.flylady.net/ ...I am what she calls a flybaby.... Check it out if you need someone to help you to take control of your home.....and so that you can have people over to your house at any time!---this is not an advertisement...I am just really enjoying this obesession. :)

I have also offically entered my second trimester...and thus I have more energy and I might be nesting just a little bit. :)

These two things have contributed to where I am these days....cleaning cleaning cleaning! I'd rather be decorating, but cleaning will do for now.

It's spring break here where we live. My two big boys have gone to Colorado with their cousins to ski/snowboard. Prince Charming and I ski---well I ski, he snowboards...but with his injury and my obvious growing belly, the boys had to be adopted by their aunt and uncle for the week. It's really strange being a family of 4....the little boys are loving all the attention.

♥

Prince Charming worked in the yard most of the day preparing the flower beds for planting...which we will do in a couple of weeks...our yard is pretty barren since we just moved in last August...we are really excited about putting some of our personality into the yard and enjoying it this spring and summer.

♥

Here are a few photos of my little walker...he's been walking for a little while now, but he is finally getting good at it and choosing to walk all the time now....he's just so cute...don't ya think?

Kicking a ball....Future soccer Star!
Throwing and walking...

Where are you going sweet boy?

♥

And finally....here are a few photos of my little chicken....Alex's school had their first grade program a couple of weeks ago....It was called "A Barnyard Moosical"...His class was a bunch of chickens....all of the first graders sang a bunch of songs and each class went on stage and did a dance.....he was HILARIOUS and really got into it.....

Boogie down Bro!
