Baby Ultrasound #2


Well today I had my second appointment and I had another ultrasound. I love the lady I am going to, her name is Heather Johnson and she is so caring and the best part she is a girl. Anyway I could go on but she really is the best. So she couldn't find the heartbeat so she said dangit we will have to go get another ultrasound. Jesse said I was just "beaming". The cute little thing has changed so much in 4 weeks and it was sucking it's thumb and had the hiccups too. Then it turned it's back on us but it was exciting. The heartbeat was 160 and last time it was 175. Aspen's heartbeat was always high and Dalton and Cohen's were always a litle lower in the 130's to 140's, so we all know what that can mean, but I don't want to jinx anything. Well I get to find out in 4 more weeks and I can't wait. If you can't tell what the picture is the baby is on the right side with it's hand above it's head.

Look What I Found!



Finally! Not that I am happy or anything, but if you really know my sweet little daughter you would have thought she would have done this by now. Yes she finally cut her own hair. I am not proud but I will have to say she did a "great" job. She cut right at bang length and I can totally cut more to make it look meant to be, but it is hidden really well. Now I can't say that my daughter never cut her hair. Darnit!

Big "D" is 7





My first born is seven years old. I can't believe he is so old. He has started 1st grade this year. Time flies by so quickly. He is such a sweet and caring boy. I remember the day he was born and it took him a little while to come but when he finally did it was a party. He was the first grandchild on Jesse's side and the first boy on my side to be born. We love having Dalton in our family, he such a blessing and big helper.
He finally decided to have a friend birthday party and it turned out great. It was a lot of work but totally worth it for him. We had a sports themed party. They played basketball, bowling, football, and whatever else crazy boys can think of to play. We also had a basketball pinata that the boys just took care of fast. They had a lot of fun and I am glad that it is over with.

My Baby Boy Is Free (3)!






On Saturday August 23 CoCo Luke turned 3! I can't believe how fast time flies. I remember the day he was born, 10 days early he wanted out, thank goodness since he was still 9 lbs. 1 oz. I thought my curly haired CoCo would be my baby forever but according to the last post, I was wrong. He is such a mama's boy and I love it! He has been such a blessing in our lives. He is so easy going and just so loveable. So many of people have called CoCo a girl in his short 3 years of life,(because of his beautiful girl locks that I put in bows, NOT!) but I am here to tell now I am giving more of a reason, don't you love his pink shirt? He loves pink and guess what all you people with little girls out there he will be the best husband and dad ever, that is what I am shaping in him. He is my sweetheart although I don't ever know if he will leave his mommy. Hopefully he will but that day is going to be very sad for his mommy!
We celebrated his birthday down in Sterling at Jesse's mom's house. He is obsessed with watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse so Jesse and I made his a Mouskatools Cake. It was a lot of work for all the kids to dig into and destroy in less than five minutes. Yes all the cousins were literally digging in the cake with their fingers, which is normally not okay but it was so big and we would throw it away anyway since we were so far away from home so who cared, it kept them entertained.

Guess Who's Pregnant?

Yep it is official. We are having our "4th" child in the Spring! Due Date April 4, 2009, but I am pretty sure with the size of my children and how the others came early, it will be in March. Wahoo! I just can't believe that I am going to have 4 kiddos. What a SURPRISE! I will have to say that I have never really been sick, a little nauseous. This time around pretty sick. Nothing sounds good or smells good at all. At night I get really sick with a stomach ache and very nauseous. But this is okay, we will get through this.:)
