Valentines Day

(She made these valentines for her grandmas, grandpa, uncles & aunt. She insisted we hang them up on the fire place.)
(My valentine)

(cute little valentines Addaly made for her little school friends!)

(This was honestly 100% her idea. We laughed so hard. She made everyone in our family! I think this one was me! I would say a spitting image of me?)

I must say that Valentines has been one of my least favorite holidays, but this year we had so much fun! Addaly and I made her valentines for her little friends at school. And I must say she did a fabulous job! I just cut all the paper and put all the stickers on them. They turned out adorable!
She had a blast at her school party and was so excited to bring home her valentines she got from her friends!

(Teresa I didn't forget to do a pregnancy update. I'm just working up the courage to put a maternity pic up!)

Crazy Hair Day

Addaly had crazy hair day at school. No matter what this girl wears or how her hair is done, she is the cutest ever! She loved it if you can't tell! She hammed it up for sure!

Big Sister!

We are so excited to announce that Addaly is going to be a big sister to a little brother and sister! We found out last Thursday and couldn't be more excited! Addaly was right the whole time! From the very beginning of my pregnancy she knew she was going to have a brother and a sister! We would tease her saying that she was going to have 2 sisters or 2 brothers, and she never caved!

We had a little get together with our family and friends to announce the fabulous news! I made a little shirt for Addaly that said big sister on the front, and baby brother & baby sister on the back. She wore a little cardigan over her shirt and as soon as everybody got here she took it off to reveal the news! It was a fun night and were so thankful for everybody that came, seeing that it was just a couple of days before Christmas! (the stupid cameras batteries died, hence the reason for no pics!)

So baby A is a boy and baby B is a girl! Everything is going good and the babies are measuring where they are supposed to. We now will go into the doctor every 2 weeks for the rest of the pregnancy. Which I don't have a problem with! We'll get to see these sweet little babies and hear their little heart beats!

3 to 5 In 9 months!

So it has finally happened! We are preggers with these 2 little guys and due June 13, 2011! It has not been an easy road getting here, but we are so grateful, excited and still trying to grasp the fact we will have 3 kids!
This pregnancy has been so different then my first one so far. I have been nauseated 24/7 and have absolutely been exhausted! We had a little scare this week and weren't sure that the babies would still be there! I woke up early on Tuesday morning with blood everywhere! Doug rushed me to the ER where they checked everything out. They did my physical exam and then sent us down to ultrasound. We thought we were going to hear bad news. I think the ultra sound tech even thought so because she asked if I wanted her to turn the monitor away. She started the ultrasound and almost instantly I saw our two little babies moving around like crazy and could see their little hearts beating! I don't think there has been a time when I have ever been so thankful! After the ultrasound we met with the doctor again who told us this could be the beginning of a miscarriage or it would resolve it's self and we could continue on with a healthy pregnancy. I was sent home on strict bed rest and to follow up with my doctor on Friday. Those next 3 days were emotionally exhausting! Not knowing what was going to happen! I went to my appointment on Friday and saw our 2 little babies again, moving around with fluttering little heart beats! My doctor said we were in the clear. That the clot had pretty much resolved itself and the babies will be fine! Phew it was such a relief! I am not on strict bed rest anymore, but am having to take it easy! I've had such a great support system and my family has been awesome taking care of me, and helping with Addaly!
So with that little scare out of the way and almost hitting my 12th week I'm feeling a little more at ease! Addaly is so excited and is convinced one is a boy and the other a girl! I think she may be right!She asked me the other day "are the babies going to get so big they pop out?!" Oh that girl seriously cracks me up! She is going to be the best big sister and little mother!

Happy Halloween!

(Trick or treat!)


Halloween this year was a blast! It is my absolute favorite holiday! Although I was a little bummed that Doug and I didn't dress up this year! I had all of our stuff for our costumes, but could only get around to making Addaly's! Addaly's chicken costume turned out pretty awesome! I was a little worried she wouldn't want to wear it because just about every little girl she saw was a princess! She was pumped about it! We put it on and she would just start clucking! She was able to wear it a couple of times. She attended a few parties, her school parade and of course trick or treating! She was so funny trick or treating, every time she would hit a house she would think she needed to empty her bucket in the wagon. So each house she went to she had nothing in her bucket! Which I think she really knew what she was doing! Everybody felt bad for her thinking she didn't have any candy and would give her handfuls! We only hit a few houses, but because of her smart thinking it looked like she hit a ton of neighborhoods! She had a blast and is really excited for going again next year!

The Dually-ett!

So this lovely truck belongs to my Dad, and it happens to be sitting in my drive way right now! I know that everyone is so jealous about this lovely beauty! We are getting ready to move so we borrowed this from my dad to make a few trips to the DI and to the dump, and I wish we could just leave it there! Doug loves to borrow this truck anytime he can! I swear the hill-billy comes out in him! He rolls up his sleeves, rolls down the window and will honk and wave at anyone! Well apparently this has carried down to Addaly! She wanted to ride home with Doug. The 10 minute ride wasn't long enough for her, so we dropped my car off and went on another 20 minute ride! Addaly was smiling from ear to ear and said "the dually-ette is the best car ever!"

One Nation Under God, Indivisble

My Mom and I were driving on the freeway, looked up and noticed this adorable picture of Addaly and Andrew! We knew that they were going to put this up, but just not sure when it was going to be put up! I will say that I did get a little teary eyed! I'm a very patriotic person anyways! Then to see these adorable kids looking up at the huge flag was amazing! So if your driving on I-15 and 90th you'll be able to see this awesome picture!
