Van, Kids and a general update!

I am so inspired to post on my blog. I had some time while M was taking a nap and so I decided to check out other blogs. Everyone is doing well at keeping it up for sure!

Many of you know that back in March Kevin and I purchased a new van from Hershey Motors in Parkesburg. We test drove an '02 Town and Country and loved it. We knew we were going to need a better vehicle with #2 on the way, and so we decided to go for it. Well, to make a very long story short (you can ask me details later), and after many trips back and forth to the dealer trying to get the van fixed, we ended up trading that van in for a better Town and Country. We now are owners of an '05 Chrysler Town and Country and loving it. No problems with it at this point like the other van. It is my little pride and joy for sure! I will post pictures soon!

Baby number 2 is well on the way. I am now 25 weeks along. Only 15 weeks to go! Yeah! We are so excited to meet the little guy that is inside of me. We do have a name picked out for him, but you will have to wait until he is here to find out. :) I am really feeling great! Still active, even more so because of Michayla. She keeps me busy busy busy! She seriously just gets cuter and cuter as time goes on. Her favorite words are Up, Bath, Baba (bottle), and ball. Those are just a few of them. The other day she started pulling on her jacket while we were out and saying "Hot, hot, mama, hot!" It was such a good feeling to know that she is really learning to communicate when she wants something.

I have been doing MUCH yardsaleing lately and have a lot of baby boy clothes. I really need to get them organized to see what I need now. We also have the crib for the little guy. We got a really good deal on one through the newspaper. Now, all we need is a double stroller. I would love to get a double jogger, because I think it would be a lot of fun to take them jogging with me when I am ready to start that again. We will see what we end up getting though!

We are still loving the house that we are living in out in the country. We have been planting flowers, mulching the flower beds and we just recently planted the garden! Yeah, I am so excited to have a garden again. I decided to scale it down A LOT from last year due to the baby on the way. I can't do everything right?! I only planted green beans, potatoes, tomatoes, green pepper, one bannana pepper plant and Kevin's request: watermelon. We will see how it does this year. Last year the garden did really well, so I am hoping for the same results.

Well, that is all for now. I hope to post more pictures soon because sometimes pictures say way more than words. I would love to get better at using the camera! :)

Random...Finally!

We are excited to have our camera back! Here are a few pictures from the last couple of weeks.





































So, our camera is having issues right now. I will post as soon as we get it back and working...hopefully sooner rather than later! :) Check back shortly for some updated pictures of our little princess, Michayla, as well as Kev and I (Of course with my little belly of the next one on the way!) Love you all!

Michayla's trip to her first movie...

So it is true, Kevin and I took Michayla to see her first movie. At first I thought when Jonathan and Janelle invited us to go along with them and Keziah that they were CRAZY! Who takes a one year old to a movie. Well...we do apparently. First of all, she didn't get a very good nap that day. Just maybe a half hour in the afternoon. On top of that she is going through a hard core teething stage again. (Yeah, we are up to six teeth!) So, I knew going into it that I probably would not really be able to watch the movie. (Oh, by the way, the movie we took her to was Horton Hears a Who) :) I was up for the challenge. We get into the theater just as the movie was starting. Of course, we had to get our popcorn first. We put Keziah and Michayla on the same seat and together they still could not keep the seat down. They were watching the movie with their feet about halfway in the air. Quite funny to see. :) So, at first we were good to go. She was sitting there with her friend Kez "watching" (I think she was more entertained by how big the screen was) and eating popcorn, like two little grown up kids. Then about fifteen minutes she decided she was done watching by herself...she wanted Mommy and Daddy. :) So, Kev and I took turns holding her for the rest of the movie and of course continuing to stuff her with popcorn. What a great time. She did great until about the last fifteen minutes. Then it was moms time to get up and walk around with her and keep her entertained. Overall, I think Kev and I had more fun watching our daughter at her first movie. Quite entertaining, and definetly worth the effort of taking a one year old to a movie!
