Ultrasound

We had the ultrasound today. Everything appeared to be fine and the baby measured right on according to my due date of Oct 20th. At first the little one wasn't wanting to cooperate, keeping feet in between the legs, but then we got a spread eagle shot!

Yup another little girl for us! Tyler and Matt were a little bummed out at first because they obviously wanted another little hunting buddy to tag along, but they are over it! We are all excited to welcome another little girl into our home! We figure it will be nice for Karissa to have a little sister close in age and since Brandon and Amber just had the twin girls they will have a little girl cousin to play with! I plan to have a 3D ultrasound done around 30 weeks or so and get some more fun pictures. This little girl was very active today, moving all over! Waving, flexing, kicking, thumb sucking, rolling, etc! I wish I owned one of those machines to watch my baby whenever I wanted! LOL The tech told us the machine he had was the top of the line and cost over 300K! WOWIE! I guess we need to get into that profession! LOL

The Butter Dish

Earlier today I thought to myself, where is Karissa?! She had been quiet for a little too long. I got up off the couch and went to the kitchen and found her sitting in her little chair with the butter dish in her lap. She managed to get it off the counter and was taking gobs of butter and slathering it in her hair. It looked like she was using it as lotion or gel or something. My mom-in-law says she thinks that Karissa was using it as conditioner because she saw Kylie putting conditioner in her hair this morning and that sure would make sense. Anyway, we found it pretty darn funny and I think Karissa did too! Here are some pics!

Nothing Special

I don't really have much to blog about. Matt is gone to Missouri for a business trip until late tonight. He had to get out of bed last night at the hotel becasue of a tornado warning and head to the stairwell! Pretty crazy, but the tornado didn't come through thankfully!
Kylie just got back late last night from a little mini trip to Las Vegas! Her grammie and papa drove out to visit Jared while he was there for a short time for some interviews. They invited both kids, but Tyler decided to stay behind and I took him and Karissa to the valley Monday night to go swimming. So far I guess the summer has started out pretty good for our family.
Oh we are moving once again tho! Yup....gonna move back into our very first home, our mobile home! We decided it just doesn't make sense to be paying the money for rent when we could technically live somewhere for free. So this will be I think the 5th or 6th move in the last year! WOW! I feel like a professional mover lol!
I had my 20 week check up today. Everything was fine, I measure right on, baby's heartbeat was around 148bpm and was moving quite a bit while we were trying to listen. We scheduled my ultrasound for Friday the 13th so hopefully by then we'll know what we are having. In the mean time why don't you go play this little game for us!

Oh and finally here is a pic of me today half way thru!

Kindergarten Graduation

Kylie's teacher put on a little graduation ceremony for her class last week. It was pretty short and simple and to the point. I must admit thats always nice when you are trying to watch a couple other kids in a small area! They sang us a couple songs and received their diplomas which ended it all. Kylie is moving onto the 1st grade and is very excited about it. She seems to be doing well with school especially the socializing aspect of it...i'm assuming she got that from me! Here are a few pictures from her graduation. Next week she has her final dance recital so be watching for a new post about that soon!

Mothers Day

I hope all the moms that are reading this had a great Mothers Day yesterday, I know I did. We went to church, visited both our moms and relaxed at home. It was a nice quiet day which is all I can ask for! The kids each made me a cute card and Kylie brought home a little craft from school for me as well. Not really much else to say other than hope you had a great day! A few pictures too...

San Diego..May 3-4

Last weekend Matt and I had a chance to go to San Diego to watch the Red Bull Air Race. It was a lot of fun! It was a really quick trip, but still a nice little get away for the two of us. We left early Saturday morning and drove to the airport to catch our flight. We were in group B to board and as we were walking down the hall to board they made us turn around! The plane was broke! Needless, to say we ended up getting into SD about an hour later then planned, but it wasn't that big a deal. We used Saturday to just mill around San Diego, eat some good food, check out the beach and relax!!! Oh we also watched Made of Honor which was really cute!! Sunday morning we got up, had breakfast and headed down to the bay which was where the airshow was. We were there all day until it was time to leave to come home. It was really neat watching some of the demonstrations prior to the show such as a coast guard rescue. The race plans were flying like 230 mph!! It was a lot of fun to see. However, i did suffer a small sunburn. I totally spaced using any sunscreen because it was cool and overcast, ya worst conditions. I am blistering on my chest which is where I got it the worst. OUCH...but all in all we had a great time!!! I'm posting some pics of a couple race planes, some randoms of Matt and I and the one I really love of the statue at the Naval Pier!

Girls Day

So last weekend my girlfriend and I got a chance to leave our kids and go to a spa for the day! We drove down to Phoenix on Friay evening and got checked into our hotel and then went out to dinner at Red Lobster!!! YUM! Afterwards we came back to our hotel and sat in the hot tub for a short time before heading off to bed. It's so strange when you sleep away from your kids, I woke up a couple times throughout the night wondering why Karissa hadn't woke up yet! LOL We woke up Saturday morning and drove over to a day spa in Scottsdale where we spent about 4 hours having a massage, facial and pedicure. It was wonderful! I hadn't felt so relaxed in quite some time. Naturally after that we were famished, so we went and had a big lunch at The Cheesecake Factory. I would have been ok with just eating a whole cheesecake, but I settled for single slice. LOL Once our lunch was over it was time to head back up the mountain. It was a great little relaxing 24 hours away from home thanks to the help from my sis and mom in law watching the kiddies! Here are a few pictures that speak for themselves!
