Mothers Day Weekend

I had a great weekend. We have finally decided to start painting the inside of the house. We painted the kitchen a rich chocolate brown that looks amazing and the living room is like a sage, mint green. Many people say well does that even go together, actually it does, Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream doesn't discriminate so why should we....LOL!!!! I recieved breakfast in bed, got to sleep in, take a nap, had dinner cooked for me then recieved an awsome massage by my husband. Here are a few pictures of the weekend.

Noah and Maddie

Me 16 weeks pregnant
The kids and I May 3rd, swimming in our pool

Noah, who people say is looking like me, however I see a lot of Grandpa Griffen and Pooh Buddy in him

Michael Jr. AKA Madeline 8 1/2 months

For some reason my Picasa picture maker hasn't been putting pictures up so I am going to just upload a few pics until I can figure it out.

Mom's Group Petting Zoo

Well, today we went to a family's farm that has all sorts of animals. Mainly alpachas, however they did have a cat, chickens, a donkey, kittens, a dog, sometimes they have a pig but not right now...LOL (wonder what happended to that one). Noah had a good time today, he mainly just liked running around. I haven't been taking a lot of pics lately sorry, just been too lazy. Plus whatever pictures I take I have to go through and put in photo albums and that takes FOREVER, when you have 3 kids, b/c that is 3 different photo albums like plus our family one, so you can imagine how much fun that is. This picture is of Maddie about 2 weeks ago, she is crawling now, going everywhere, and cries if you leave a room and she is in there by herself. She if definetly a mama's girl, which of course I love. Noah is a beast, that boy can eat forever, I think he is going to be a future linebacker. Talan is wonderful, has really bad eczema right now, everywhere, face, arms, chest, back, behins his ears, legs, you name it he has it there. We are doing our best with creams and lotions and being sure he showers after the pool, but it seems to be getting worse. He did get tested for Pre-k, he scored really well, he only had to know 9 things and he knew 17 on one and 22 on the other. Very proud of him of that. We will see if he gets to go. I am fine, getting fatter day by day and loving getting to eat ice cream all the time. Mike is well, working at work during the week and catching up on house projects over the weekend. Pretty soon we are going to put in laminate floors and paint our room, the living room and kitchen so that will be a project.

It's a girl...It's a boy...which one?

Well most of you know my 11 1/2 U/S said that it looking like is could be a girl the way things were forming. Also I took a new urine test out there that tells you are having a boy or a girl and the test said girl. However today at my 14 week appointment today, the U/S, wasn't quite happy of course that the tech told me it was a girl, I told her that she didnt' tell me if was a girl, she said the way things were forming, it looks like it "could" be a girl. I said the urine test I took said girl. She then said well, I don't really see any defining girl parts or boy parts at this stage (in my head I was like whatever, b/c I know that the parts are already formed by the end of the 1st trimester b/c of the article I read last night). She precedes to look and I look too and I think I see something in between the legs (which at 11 1/2 weeks I thought I saw too and thought it was a boy but the lady said girl and I was like really?) and I think so does she. After the U/S she told me that she wants me to come back after my level II u/s on May 28th and tell her what they say it is, because she thinks it is a boy. So is it a girl? or is it a boy?....who knows, but all I know is that I hope IT IS ONE OR THE OTHER.....especially after reading one of Mike's medical articles in one of his magazines on ambigous genderlast night, kind of freaked me out.

IT'S A GIRL...I THINK!!!

Well most of you know that I had an ultrasound at 11 1/2 weeks, which said that it looks like it was going to be a girl. I have another ultrasound on the 23rd so we will see what that shows. However, there is a new urine test out sold at Walgreens and CVS for 29.99 called Intelligender Urine Test (www.intelligender.com). Basically you pee in a cup, then insert 20ml of your urine in a special cup, swirl around for about 10 seconds and wait 10 minutes for the results. If it is dark green it is a BOY if it is orange it is a GIRL. IT WAS ORANGE SO I GUESS IT WILL BE A GIRL!!! Her name is going to be Delaney Sue.....however we will conclude this on the 23rd when we see what the 14 week ultrasound shows too!!!

Easter Sunday

Easter was wonderful, we loved it, however with every year the Easter Bunny spends more and more of his money on the kids I think about $100, WOW they must have been good. Al of the kids had coordinating outfits...I know Sandra and Amy impressive, who would have thought. Talan got some educational computer games, some Wolverine Figurines, a card game and candy. Noah got a movie, Mater and Chick Hicks from Cars and some some wolverine figurines with candy. Maddie just got Fancy Nancy book, because of course she is fancy. My family got the kids more candy and stuffed animals so they were heaven. We went to my Aunt's and Uncle's in Brandon and the kids swam, played and hunted for eggs. Noah had no clue and didnt care, he did what I thought he would do, examine each egg he picked up and opened it and ate what was inside, hence he got about 3 eggs. Talan however, got TONS, I am suprised he was shoving to get all the eggs. I took some pictures of the kids, I did the best that I could, kids don't cooperate for pictures very well so enjoy!!!!

Day with Daddy

Well on Saturday, Mike took Maddie and Noah too the aquarium while Talan and I went to my sisters 3D/4D ultrasound. I was a little worried at first, but he seemed to manage just fine. Later on in the day we played in a blow up pool at my mothers house and then we took Talan and Noah too the movies to see Monsters Vs. Aliens. Believe or not, they both were wonderful. Granted we spent about 25 bucks on popcorn, candy and soda but it kept them still. After we went out to eat at Crazy Buffet with my parents and believe or not the kids were pretty well behaved...I think this going out to eat thing is getting easier with time.
