i love my kids!

well today was a kinda fun - but not day. We got up first thing to go to my doc apt. that is now every week. We have to drive an hour to get to the dr. office. The baby measured about 5 1/2 pounds, pretty good size for 36 weeks.
After the doc apt. we decided to take Ally and Austin to dino park since its been too cold to go for a while. We got there and played on the play ground and ate lunch first. While we were eating lunch Bill was teasing ally telling her a dinosaur kept coming and playing with her shoe and trying to eat her cookies. She wasnt going for it and kept telling bill it was him. Then bill the smartelic comes out and says that the dinosuar just came and ate his thumb.... Austin totally fell for it, but Ally looked at him like he was dumb.
So later we were walking around the park... ok running... and everytime we stopped at a dinosaur Austin would run up to it and ask the name like always. But this time after the name he said "oohh but will this one eat my thumb?" And if i answered yes, he ran away yelling "i be careful, he not eat my thumb mom". And if i said no he would say... "oohh he just eat grass?". It was the cutest thing!!
And of course on the way home we had to stop and get slurpees... can u believe they dont have one 7-11 in all of Wyoming!!! I know!! they should be shot!
Sydney came home yest with a story she wrote in school, or maybe i should say it was more of a plea bargain. She was writing it to me, like a letter. "Please mommy can u get me a bunny!! I really want one and ill buy the cage and all the food! Please Mommy i just want one all to myself, to hug and cuddle!" There were a little more words than that but u get the idea. She was standing next to me when i read it, with the cutest innocent smile.... u know what i mean.... the smile u give ur mom when u want something!! Despite her great battle, we are not gettng a bunny! She can go out in the field and watch the wild ones jump around! No more animals!!!! It was cute none the less.

a parents job is never done!

We finally decided on a name..... Zachary. Middle name still in progress. Its looking like around the weekend of fathers day is when I will have the baby.

My wonderful sisters came over this weekend to help with house work that I just couldnt handle on my own. We got a lot of painting done and even got some more flooring down. And What do u know it gave bill and I the umph we needed to keep things going! So we are tearing the carpet up in the girls room and getting the hard floor down! Im so excited! We're on the downward stretch for the flooring! It feels good to know that we were able to do it ourselves! Bill and I both have learned alot while in the process of this; that this floor better last its 25 year warranty, cuz we're not replacing it any time soon!

My poor children have done nothing but watch movies and play with littlest pet shops this whole weekend! Because we have been doing so much with the house; on the up side the girls room is 100x better than before, we painted it a light but bright green. They have all kinds of things that are purple and pink, i thought that this green would make them pop. They love it and have decided its called tinker bell green. The boys room is next.... if it happens before the baby is born i will be shocked! They're room will be.... what else SPORTS!

When all is said and done with the paint and remodeling of each room, i will post a pic! But for now they are all about half done.

Names

ok, i need some help here..... I keep coming up with names for this little baby that im carrying, but my hubby hates them all! So i need some persuation on ur part to help him out (ok to help me out). bill has been begging me since we got married to name a child after him, he wants a jr. Well im just not too crazy about the name william, nothing against it, just not really loving it. So the other night i told him i would name hime William if we call him "Liam" for short.
"NO! thats a pansy name!" is the answer i got!
Not one name does he like that i do! I like Caleb, he says no. I like Tyler..... he gives me his uggy face. Im really starting to like the Liam thing, i just need some help persuading Bill. And just a little into the feelings i get from this baby; He seems to be sweet, and gentle. So far this may be the least moving baby we have had, yes even compared to sydney, and she didnt move much! I never get these gut wrenching kicks or stretches, just calm little rolls and gentle little movements every now and then. So in my opinion, he is shy and reserved. And dont u think Liam fits that type of personality???????? Please leave comments to help me out here!!!! We only have a few more weeks left to argue!

A big Bubba!

Just a cute little story about the mind of a 2 year old! I was putting the kids to bed last night, and as usual the girls are in bed and Austin is finding any reason to not be. He walked up to his night light and says "its too bright, I turn it off". "Oh its too dark", and he turns it back on. And as he turns around he looks up at the wall and sees his shadow "AHHHHH" and the closer he gets to his bed the bigger the shadow gets. I tell him "its ok its just Bubba".... In a terrified voice he says "Ya a BIG Bubba". Then turns around very slowly, as to make sure the big bubba doesnt get him, and quickly turns the night light back off. Needless to say he slept with his light on last night!! Bill and i keep telling ourselves we are raising a big tough boy.... but its nights like that when u wonder..........

just letting u know, I went to the doctor today. He checked everything out and said that everything is good. The doc said it is probably just part of my uterus that that is more sensitive that other spots, but to watch things carefully.......so to any family reading....... im not traveling much these last few weeks..... it makes me hurt ALOT!

I actually gained weight this time!!! I have now gained about 9 pounds this pregnancy and 7 of them was this last month. Once we figured out it was my gallbladder making me sick ive been avoiding all the food that makes me sick (which is almost everything) life has been alot better..... and appariently the baby approves, he was about a week and a half behind on weight but this last month he caught up and is only 2 days different from the due date. And because im still having a hard time that its really a boy i had the doctor look again for me....... very much a boy!!!

My brain isnt working on all cylinders today, so i cant think of anything greatly funny that my kids have done....... Sydney and Ally have their last day of swimming lessons today, they are really hoping to pass to the next level. They are both doing extremely well i dont think they will have a problem passing, Ill let u know.
