Lexi's 3rd Birthday Pics

I'm Pregnant!

For those of you who haven't heard I just found out a couple of days ago that i'm pregnant. I'm still in shock since we weren't planning on conceiving till sometime next year. We are very excited though. A baby always brings so much joy and happiness into the home. I know it will be challenging but I think having 1, 2 or how ever many you have is a challenge well maybe challenge isn't the best word but what i'm trying to say is that kids are a lot of work but they also bring something so unique and special into your life. Anyways, I think I will be due either the end of February or beginning of March. Wish me luck. I'm going to need it.

3 Years Old

Today was my little girls birthday and I can't believe she turned 3! I don't know where the time goes. Sometimes it feels like she was born just yesterday and sometimes it feels like she's been here forever. We love her so much and she brings so much joy to our family. She was born at 33 weeks and 4 days old weighing a wopping 3lbs 3.9 ounces. She is such a miracle. Besides arriving so early she has been in picture perfect health with the exception of only being sick one day in her life. When I think about all the bad things that can happen to premies I feel so blessed that she has had her health. She is the sweetest little girl anyone will ever meet although now that we are in the terrible 3's which are different than the terrible 2's you couldn't ask for a better child. Anyone that has been around her can witness to that. I love you Lexi and am so glad you chose me to be your mother. We started her birthday yesterday with a friend party at Chuckie Cheese. Today we went to Church and than celebrated the rest of her birthday going on rides and go karts. My mom flew into town to spend Lexi's birthday with us which has been awesome. Here are a few of the many pics over the past 3 years and some over the past 2 days.

Eventful day and a HIT AND RUN!

Today was Chad's day off so we decided to take the kids to the dinosaur museum. It was a nice museum but it is attached to a haunted house so while we were walking trying to tell the kids about the dinosaurs we were looking at a big loud bang or noise would hit and the kids would jump. This museum was very different from the one i'm use to going to in AZ. They built all the dinosaurs so they would resemble their natural size and the way they looked when they were alive. It was really neat. They also had a place for the kids to dig up fossels and a huge bouncy thing for the kids to jump in. After we went to the Dino Museum we went to the Grand Country Buffet just because we had not ate there before and wanted to try out a new restaurant. The food was pretty good for the most part. We headed home because we had to be there for the pest control guy to come and spray our house and since I live in the country now I wasn't about to miss that appointment. Anyways, I went to go get a pedicure while Chad stayed here to put the kids down for their naps and wait for the pest control guy. So I get home and the girl who lives across the street to whom we pay our rent to called and said someone wrecked your car! I was like WHAT and a few other choice words. So we go look what happend and Chad's car was wrecked. He parks his car in front of the house and by the look of the damage someone with a truck clearly backed into his car. So immediately I know who did it. The pest control guy had parked his TRUCK in the driveway of the girl who lives across the street. She called him and he played dumb and was clearly nervous. We called the cops and took photos and the cops just said they will investigate and get back to us. In the meantime the pest control guy is telling the cops and the girl who lives across the street a different story. Clearly he is trying to cover up what he did. I just hope he comes clean and that the cops prove he did it so the money doesn't come out of our pocket. I took a lot of pics from our eventful day sorry so dark. I only had my cell phone to take the pics with.

Father's Day

I don't think fathers are recognized as much as they should be on Father's Day. I don't write about Chad very often but those of you who know him know I'm the luckiest girl out there. He is the best father and husband anyone could ask for. I don't know why Heavenly Father has blessed me with such a great husband. Besides working hard he gets up every morning with the kids so I can get a little more sleep and have a little more time to myself. He bathes his kids and gets them dressed and fed before I even get up. He never yells or gets angry. Sometimes I wander if he's human because I have such a bad temper and he puts up with a lot from me. One time I even asked him Don't you ever yell or want to get really angry? Anyways, I married not only the best man out there for me but a man who would be the best father and perfect example to my children. Chad I love you and hope this is a great father's day for you even though you have to work. We love you so much. Thanks for everything you do. Thank you for being a great father to our children. I love you!
