Kids!!!!

So I thought everyone might enjoy some pictures of teh kids. It has been really nice lately so the kids have been swimming like crazy. Talan will jump off of the largest hot tub step into the pool with his life jacket and "surf board" of course. Noah has only done it a few times, but he just jumps with a round tube and yes he has fallen through a few times but he just laughs when we get him from under the water. Maddie enjoys the water too she just splashes around. She is now in 6-9months clothes and I have no bathing suit for her so she has been going nude. I don't go to the mall much so I need to order one online :-) Maddie is crawling backwards and rocks back and forth, she also goes from a sitting postion to lean over to crawl but hasn't quite grasped the alternate crawl yet, she is into the catepillar crawl. She loves food, drinks only about 20oz a day but man she will eat 3 jars of baby food or more and down puffs, yogurt melts, all sorts of Gerber baby snacks, she starts screaming if she is done. I feel bad for her because she has no teeth yet but I can't wait until she can eat real food because she wants to real bad. Noah is talking up a storm, the other day he said, "no, I don't want to go for a walk"....no lie, MIke was there too and heard it. He also has been calling Mike, "daddy Mike" or "Mike" since that is what Talan says, I get a kick out of that but we always correct him and say no Daddy and he says, "why.".....LOL!!! Talan has been starting to get a wild imagination, he makes up games and he has vivid scarry dreams that he can tell you about. He says that a tickle guy comes into his room at night and he is scared. I asked him specifics about it and he said that he was young like him, dark hair and green eyes, then he told me he didn't want to talk about it anymore. Needless to say he comes in our room everynight for a little bit to snuggle. Mike is working hard and looking sexier then ever with his longer hair and beard....arrrrr good thing I am already pregnant. I am getting huge I think about food all day long and try to stuff my face as much as I can in moderation :-)

ACMG Firestation Meetup

We went to our Mom's group today at a firestation meetup, it was great. The kids got to go through the firetruck and spray a hose. The fireman dressed up in his outfit, but Talan didn't like it he stayed behind me the whole time but Noah was grabbing on to the guys pant leg. The loved spraying the hose, it was very difficult to keep Noah away from that, he wanted to play in the water so bad so that was AWFUL, talk about trying to control him with Maddie on my chest, she got beat up a few times, but she takes it like a champ and just sits there :-) Talan still didn't feel real well so he whined a lot about being hungry, but he said he liked it. After we ate lunch in the shade by the park and the kids played. We took my new friend Amanda who I met through the mom's group, in which she lives in Chiefland too which is awsome!!! She has a son Lucas who was born in August, after Noah (who is July), and her little girl Callie was born in December, after Talan (who is August). Talan and her yelled at eachother but Talan kept trying to hold her hand in the car, I think he has a crush. That is her in the pictures, trying to help me with Noah and watching Talan spray the hose.

My Precious Maddie

Well, I just had to brag about how cute Maddie is. The funniest part is her chillin in a tube that is meant for the boys and just floating around the hot tub like she knew what she was doing (she was so relaxed) at one point she had her head back like she was really relaxing. Yes, she did fall through once but Daddy was there to catch her. I had to throw in a picture of my Little Devil Noah. He weighs as much as Talan now they get into some good fights. He also is jumping into the hot tub with no life vest or nothing he just jumps in expecting someone to catch him under the water, yes we have had to jump in a few times to get him. Needless to say he has gone in with his clothes on a few times so we are getting a pool fence.....FINALLY!!! Talan is doing well loving on Maddie all the time, he is sick right now with a sinus infection and refuses to take his antibiotic, which has not been easy, we have been spit at a few times so yes he has got put in time out. Me I am getting fatter everyday, I am hungry all the time, lets just say I had a bowl of ice cream for a snack and wasn't filled so I ate a honey bun after, weight gain here I come with semi-opened arms :-)

Last Weekend in Feb

Well before we went down to see Mike's family in Parrish, we decided that it was time to cut Maddie's hair. Her bangs came past her eyes and she had about 5 strands of hair in the back that looked like a tail. Yes we cut it ourselves and yes it is a little bit off, but looks much better than before, we can actually see her eyes now. We went down to visits Mike's family since Mike's brother was in town with there new baby Grant. I took a few picutes of Grant and Westen (my other nephew) who were born a day apart. Mike had a nice little birthday party, he had a fisherman cake which of course everyone loved. The kids played really hard especially Talan, he was complaining the next day that his legs hurt and he was only up an hour and then went back to bed for 2.5 hours. As for me, I feel like crap, morning sickness galore, today I had to eat abotu 1/4 bag of pretzels and drink 1/2 of a sprite to keep myself from hurling. My Nanny (my grandmother) said she had a dream the other day that I had a boy girl twin so I am hoping this is not true, because yes people I would be freaking out.
