and Baby Will Make...5!!??

That's right, everyone! We are ready to spread the word! #3 is on his or her way! I am currently 15 weeks, due October 9th, 2010 (although babies arrival will likely be late September, due to my love of the scheduled c section!)

It all began in early February. MAN, I was exhausted! But being the mother of 2 kids under 5 will do that to you! Then, twice in one week, I forgot my ID at home. Its hard to get back home without your military ID when you live on a military base! UGH! Piper even commented that Im NEVER this spacey. Then I noticed I was getting nauseous really easily, especially in the car....oh, jeez! Im late!

So, on the night Piper and I were going to celebrate Valentines Day, I had Piper check the oven for me while I got ready...where I had placed a hamburger bun with a positive pregnancy test in it. Thats right. We had a "Bun in the Oven!"

Baby is growing well! We will find out what "# 3" is in about a month, and Piper is PRAYING for a penis! I think another girl might put him over the edge! ;-)


I will keep everyone posted on new developments. Not a lot of excitement to report yet, but everyone is happy and healthy and that is all that matters! :-)

Happy Birthday, Dr Seuss!

 To celebrate Dr Seuss' birthday, we decided to have a family movie night! We watched MY favorite Dr Seuss movie, "Horton Hears a Who", and I made "Speck on a Clover" cupcakes!

Even my husband, who, while always supportive of my creative endeavors, was impressed with the cupcakes. 

Ashlynn was just happy she got cupcakes! 

 

My favorite part of that movie? This quote:

A person is a person,

no matter now small!

My Favorite Pics of 2009

I had originally thought of posting a "Year in Review" blog, but that is mentally and physically exhausting, so here are my favorite pictures of the year!

More to come later this weekend! :-)

Today is the day...

I've noticed a theme in my life lately. I've been PROCRASTINATING!!! (imagine THAT!!) I have this HUGE long "to do" list, including hobbies and chores, just general everyday things I want to be doing or changing about myself. And it just keeps getting LONGER!! SO, I have decided today is the day. I will get up off my butt, and start checking things off my list!

First up, I am starting MY project 365! This is where I commit to taking a photo every day for a year, to document the life and times of the Piper family.

Next, I need to wash the windows! MAN they are gross! And the hard water stains from the sprinkler are going to be a PAIN!

And tonight when things cool down, I will play in the kitchen for awhile. Tis the season for zucchini bread, pumpkin loaf, and other yummy tasty things that make my house smell yummy and my tummy feel bloated! HA!!

Which brings me to going back to the gym...which has been missing me since MAY! (thats right, a summer of laziness!!)

In the meantime, here are some recent photos of my beautiful babes....






I think that, maybe, I don't completely suck at this photography thing!!
