Computer Crashed!

I just sent my computer off this morning. For now, I'm checking email and blogs at the library. So, it will be awhile before I make regular posts. Take care!

Lakyn has a new DO

Ok, so I know it isn't that different. Lakyn has enough hair now to pull back in little piggies. Cute!

Little Road Trip

I took the kids to the zoo, out to eat, swimming, Chucky Cheese, and to Target (that was for me). Lakyn's favorite part of the zoo seemed to be the ducks. Of course, all birds are ducks! Jayce's favorite part was the train ride, of course. We thought we would get rained out (weird because it rarely rains here), but it ended up just being a little on the chilly side. A light jacket was all we needed. The next day was 80 degrees!

They both chowed down at Chuy's on the best cheese dip ever. Lakyn kept asking to go "fwimmy." They spent most of the time in the hot tub which was more like really warm bath water. The indoor pool was on the chilly side. However, that didn't stop Jayce from doing canon balls. Chucky Cheese was a big hit. Lakyn was more interested in putting the coins in the slots than actually playing. Jayce enjoyed many of the games. They both enjoyed climbing through the tunnels and going down the slide. Lakyn did fine as long as Jayce stayed near. Once, I heard her screaming because she lost Jayce.

Oh, we also hit Schlotsky's for lunch...love, love, love this place. We couldn't leave without hitting Target. We really didn't buy much. I managed to pick up a few maternity shirts. Yes, I started wearing a few maternity things last week. Oh, and we can't forget how much fun we had riding the elevator. It is the small things in life!

Lakyn's B-day shirt

Isn't this shirt precious! I bought it for Lakyn to wear for her 2nd birthday which is just around the corner. I'm loving www.etsy.com where everything is handmade. This shirt came from bellaclairebaby. I also ordered her Easter dress from another vendor on Etsy. I'll show it to you when it comes in.

Uh-Ohhhh!

Lakyn just became interested in the TV. She will bring the remote to me and say, "Babies." This means I need to put Tinkerbell on. Other than Tinkerbell, she also likes Mickey Mouse Playhouse. In a way it is kind of good that she is interested in TV because it gives me a small (I mean small because she doesn't watch for long) break from filling sippy cups, putting diapers on all her dolls, putting her hair back up in pigtails for the 5th time in an hour, taking her to the park to "fwing," making lunch and snacks, mopping up a foot of water everytime she takes a bath because she is 'fwimming," changing her diapers, putting her clothes and shoes back on for the 3rd time, folding all the clothes on her floor and putting them back in the dresser for the second time.....I wouldn't change a thing. I love being home to play and take care of my little butter bean!

Snug in their Beds

Lakyn is sleeping in her big girl bed!!!! At first, she just wasn't having it. She would cry and scream. Of course, I stayed by her side until she fell asleep. We did that for a couple of nights. The next step was to tuck her in and walk away. She cried, and kept getting out of the bed to find me. She got up several times per night the first week to find me. I just kept putting her back in the bed. Now, I can tuck her in with just a tiny fuss. She doesn't get out the bed until she wakes up sometime in the wee hours of the morning. I'm proud of my little girl. Of course, it is a little sad. My babies are growing up too fast. Just look at my big boy! He loves to sleep! He likes to go to bed around the same time every night. If you don't put him to bed on time, he will come and get you. Of course, we always have to read a book before bed. Lakyn and Jayce both like, Ping right now. Sweet dreams my precious babies (they will always be my babies)!

Happy Birthday, Valarie!

Happy Birthday, Valarie! Love ya lots!

My New Love

I have been craving sour candy....here is my new love. There is also a candy like a sour, chewy Sweet Tart. I have searched all over South Texas. If you know what these candies are called and know where they can be purchased, give me the heads up. Hey, when I was expecting Lakyn, we searched Arkansas, Missouri and Nebraska for Tom's Hot Fries. When I was expecting Jayce, I lived off of Snickers Ice Cream Bars, but those were too easy to find, What did you crave?

Just One!

Ok, so the doctor says there is only one baby. Brad says I just create big houses for my babies! I had another sonogram today, and all looked good. Even at 10 weeks, the baby was moving his/her arms and legs all around. The heartbeat was around 160bpm. In the sonogram picture, the baby's head is to the left. Those little dots are the arms and legs.

Holy Cow!!!

Can you believe this? Yes, I'm 2 1/2 month pregnant and not 4 months pregnant. I really pooched out early this time. I just can't believe it. It is almost embarassing when folks ask me how far along I am. I've never shown this early. I've also already gained about 6 pounds (most of those due to the pigging out during the holidays)! With Lakyn, I only gained 1 pound during the first trimester! I guess all pregnancies are different! Oh, Jayce took this picture. I think he did pretty good for a six year old. He sure was proud of himself.

Mess Maker!

Here is the biggest mess maker ever! Lakyn decided to get into the Desitin while I was on the phone. Also notice that she has a pull up on. Yep, she came up with that idea on her own. We have purchased the potty, but we are just talking about it right now.
