It's a........

Girl!!!!!

I can't believe that we are having a GIRL! We are so excited but I'm the most excited! I've thought the whole time that it was a girl since there have been a few little tiny things that have been different with me this time around! It was just so wonderful to have it confirmed! Trey is super excited he really wanted a sister, Jack not so much when the guy told us that we were going to have a girl Jack looked at him all ticked off and said, "NO....it's a brother!" It's okay he will get use to the idea he was just excited that he got to see the baby on TV! Richard is excited but I also think that he is a little bit nervous. He said that at least he had some time to learn how to shoot a gun! This chick is going to have a hard time when she grows up and wants to have a boyfriend! I was honestly a little emotional when the guy told us that it was a girl! I cried tears of joy something that I thought I would never do, I'm just so excited! I think that it was because I knew that this is our last baby and it was my last shot for a little princess! Not that I don't love my boys because I do! I'm definitely a boy mom and I love every minute I spend with Jack and Trey even when they are putting me in the crazy house! It's just nice to know that I will have someone on my side from now on! Well now that you've seen her lady business here is a picture of her sweet little face!

We can't decide who she looks like but she looks a little more like Trey did we think! She didn't want to show her face very much she was curled up in a cute little ball the whole time! I am just so happy to be welcoming a little girl into this house! She is going to have to be one tough chick but if she's anything like me she'll be able to handle it! Trey had already informed us that he will not be dressing up like a princess just because there is going to be a girl in our house he so silly! Can't wait til May!
I almost forgot to put my belly shot on here! I thought that I needed to since I'm almost 20 weeks! So here she is...Enjoy!

Merry Christmas!!!!

Merry Christmas! Christmas was a little crazy at this house this year! I woke up around midnight just as Christmas Eve was beginning with the worse pain in my ear, I mean I was curled up in a ball crying! I had a horrible ear infection that kept me up all night long! It was awful I had to wait until 8am for the instacare to open and nothing was working to relieve the pain. I tried everything but nothing worked. Finally when I could go to the Dr. I did, I got an antibiotic and some ear drops but they did nothing! Pretty much I just laid around wishing someone would cut off my head. Every time I thought ok I can lay down and get some sleep (because me going 24 hours with no sleep was not pretty) either the doorbell would ring someone would call me or someone would text me. I mean honestly I was pretty popular person to contact that day of all days! Sadly because of that I missed my family Christmas Eve Party, but Richard was so great that he took the boys anyway! They had a great time me not so much because once again I was a popular person to contact! Anyway when the boys came home we continued our tradition of Christmas Jammies!

Here are the boys in theirs! Trey loves Woody and Jack is really into trains right now! They were both super excited to get them. Me and Richard also got some but I was in no mood to be taking pictures!
We left a treat out for Santa! Cookies and a Coke with a Santa on it of course! Richard had to make a special trip to the store for a Coke with a Santa on it as a request of Trey! We put the boys to bed, Trey fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow but Jack was his normal self and stayed up for far to long! After we finally got them in bed I went right to bed and my wonderful husband stayed up and did the laundry! I was suppose to do it earlier that day but just couldn't! He's so great!

When Christmas morning finally came around 7:00 am Trey climbed in our bed to tell us that Santa had come he ate 2 cookies and drank some Coke but.....He didn't leave any presents! How dare that Santa! Trey forgot to look down by the fireplace he thought that Santa just took the cookies and ran!
But when we woke up Jack and went down stairs he saw that he did come and I think that he dumped the whole sleigh at our house!

Trey got a paper jam that he just can't get enough of! He was born to rock!

Jack loved his Mr. Potato Head!

He also got this really cool train set that he has been playing with since we set it up for him! He loves trains!
Richard doesn't like to brag but he got himself a new T.V. ! To bad he's standing right in front of it so you can't see it!
Trey rockin' out! He did get other things but the paper Jam was a big hit! Richard treated me great this year also he got me a Shark steam mop that I've been wanting and can I just say that I love it! I used it today AMAZING! He also got me a Flip cam! So now we can make some great home movies! He gave it to me the day before Christmas so that I could use it Christmas morning! I tried to post it but I have zero patience to wait for it so maybe another time!

We had an amazing Christmas with lots of time spent with family! Luckily I started to feel a little bit better that day! We had a great time together and it was even better because Richard actually got to have the day off this year so we spent all of Christmas with him! It was fantastic just the way I've been wanting Christmas to be for many years! We hope that you all had a great time as well! Tomorrow we are getting a late Christmas present and I can't wait! We are finding out what flavor our baby will be! Jack is really excited to see BabyCakes on T.V. hopefully that means that he will sit and be good! Merry Christmas and we hope that the next year brings all of you much Joy and Happiness!

Car Poop a Tall Tale!!!

Back when Trey was probably about 1 1/2 Richard and myself made up this thing called car poop! What is car poop you might ask? Well car poop is mainly the snow that gets stuck on your car that is brown or basically any snow that is slushy and gross! We made up the fact that cars poop because I didn't want Trey touching it, stepping in it or splashing in it in a parking lot! Basically anything that would seem like the best time in the world for someone his age! The moment that we told him this he was totally turned off to the idea of even looking at it, because if you know Trey you know that he has a major poop-phobia! So I was one happy mom! I had the kid who would totally dodge it in the parking lot and it just became a normal thing to us! We continue to call it that to this day and even Jack has always known it as car poop! Mr. Independent (Jack) will even let us lift him into the car so that he won't get it on his pants climbing in! Well last night it snowed a pretty slushy heavy snow which resulted in a massive amount of car poop everywhere! Today after we went to go and pick up Trey from school we were getting out of the car and I said to Jack, "watch out for the car poop Jacky!" He went around the poop lumps in the garage very carefully! Trey then hopped out of the car and says to me, "Mom, I just realized something you keep telling us that this is car poop....but it's really just snow!" Oh no I've been caught! I started laughing because it never occurred to me that he didn't know at the age of 4 that it wasn't snow! I told him he was right but that we couldn't tell Jack because I didn't want him playing it. He proceeded to tell me how silly it was that we have been trying to make him think that cars poop especially only in the winter! Because, "cars don't poop MOM! You're so silly!" So the secrets out, but at least he is a good sport and will tag along with the fact that cars poop all over the place for the sake of Jack and me! Trey Baby he is one smart little guy!

Santa's Coming to Town!!!

The other night we got together with our most favorite people The Ropers! The Anniversary Inn here in Logan was having a night that you could go on a tour of all the rooms and if you brought a food donation you can book any room for any night of the year for a super low price. We hit it up almost every year. Every year they also have Santa there so we take that as our opportunity to take the kids! This year we invited The Ropers to go with us so we hit up dinner together and then headed to see the big guy! We checked out the rooms first but don't worry the kids were not bored by any means!

Here they all are (Trey, Tenzing, Oakely and Jack) crammed into a hammock that they have in one of the rooms, but I can't remember which one. We saw so many I forget what they all look like! They all had fun going into all the rooms, Oakley especially liked seeing all the huge tubs! My boys loved all the rooms that had games and the rooms that were like tree houses! Tenzing was just happy to be there!

Finally we made it to the room where Santa was! Trey got up there like a pro and told him what he wanted! Jack on the other hand didn't want to even look at Santa or have Santa look at him...hopefully Santa gets the memo that Jack whats a shoo-shoo train! Trey has been watching alot of Elf lately and told us all that when he sat on Santa's lap that he was going to say, "you don't smell like Santa...you smell like beef and cheese!" Sadly he chicken out, but I knew he would! What he really should have said was you look a little too young to be Santa and you have a creepy voice! We took the rest of the tour got some cookies and then headed over to the main house to book our most favorite room! It took a bit to book everything but don't worry Tenzing and Jack entertained themselves and the masses!
Here they are all babies gone wild, working what their mama's gave 'em! Yes folks they have their cute little bare bellies pushed up to the glass door and loving every minute of it! I just love these 2! Tenzing is just a month older than Jack and they are best buddies! Which would only make sense since me and his mama are best buddies also! We had a great time, Richard and I got a great room now we only have to wait clear til October to go and enjoy it! We had so much fun with our friends we were glad that we finally got to see them since we are sort of having Roper with drawls, us and the boys included! Trey is glad that we finally saw Santa and Jack is just glad that he didn't actually have to sit on his lap to get a Candy Cane....maybe someday!

March of the Peguins!!!

Last night Trey had a fundraiser for his school. It was a culture festival where they did all kinds of different dances from different cultures. All the kids from the school did dances that they have been learning for the past couple of months! Trey's group did a penguin dance, the music was all sang in Spanish! Trey has been dreading doing this dance for weeks but when the actual day came he was all excited and couldn't wait to get up on the stage! Trey's teachers had him bring a white shirt and they made these cute little penguin shirts for all the kids with their names on them they were really cute!

Here is Trey and some of the kids in his class getting ready to dance!

My dancing Trey Baby! He was the best dancer there and I'm not just saying that because I'm his mom!

Here is a video of him dancing like a pro! It's not very good since I did it on our camera but it's good enough! We are so proud of him, we just love this school that we have put him in and he is really doing great in it! He is learning lots of things that you typically wouldn't learn at preschool and it's so cool to hear him talk about things that went on in his day! I'm so glad that we decided to put him in this school. He is learning lots about the environment, other cultures and countries as well as all his ABC's and 123's! He has made lots of friends and enjoys going to school everyday that he goes! His teachers are great and work so well with his silly personality! We are so proud of our little man he is growing up to be one smart little kid!

16 Weeks Down!!!

Well almost anyway! I'm about 2 days shy of 16 weeks but I thought that I would just put up the belly shot now! I was going to ask Richard to take a picture of my belly today but I totally forgot so my next best option was Trey Baby! It took a million tries but finally under the pressure of Jack screaming that he was ready for a nap he made it happen!! So here are two of his best shots!


I know what you are thinking for 16 weeks this belly looks enormous, and I would have to agree with you! I mean holy cow I look like I ate a small child! I'm a little nervous to see how big I'm going to get if this is what I'm looking like now! Things are going good I haven't been as tired during the day as I use to be but I'm still exhausted at night and ready to crash as soon as I hit the bed. It probably doesn't help that I'm trying to keep up with two crazy boys all day! The boys are getting more excited and that finally includes Jack! They are so cute every night before they go to sleep they talk to "babycakes" to wish it a good night and hope that it sleeps good and Jack always ends it with "see you soon babycakes!" It's so sweet! Trey is hoping for a sister and Jack is just hoping for a baby! Which is lucky for Jack because unless I was abducted by aliens one night I'm pretty sure he will get what he wants! I feel like I've totally lost my mind this time around. I can't remember anything and half the time I forget what I'm talking about or I just can't think of what word I'm trying to say. I feel like I'm talking in another language and just can't get the words out. I'm usually a really on the ball person, I never forget things that I have to do but now I have to write everything down or put it in my phone so I don't forget! I broke down and bought some new maternity skinny jeans the other day, but I haven't worn them that much because they are still a little big! I'm at an awkward phase because my regular jeans are long past fitting but the mommy jeans are just a little to big! I've anxiously been waiting for the baby to move and me to feel it but it hasn't happened yet! I'm ready to start feeling those things because I kind of missed out on that with Jack! My placenta was right in the front with him so feeling him kick didn't happen very often! I'm trying to take in every little moment since this is for sure our last baby! Last night however me and Richard both were able to feel where the baby was at in my belly so that was kind of cool, it just feels like a hard lump but I loved it because I know it's our cute little person in there! Anyways that is about all that is happening on the baby front so here's to 16 weeks down.... 24 weeks to go!

Goin' to the Chapel!!!

The day finally came. my Dad got married!!! I'm so excited for him he deserves it! He married a Lady or girl which ever way you look at it (she is 12 years younger than him) named Kalee! We are so excited to welcome her and her two boys Chett and Chalis into our family!

Here is my Dad and my brother his best man waiting for Kalee to come down the isle!

Her comes the Bride escorted by her two boys!

I was really kind of annoyed by the Bishop because he chose to stand right in front of my to conduct everything! But I sort of got the kiss!

Exchanging the rings!

Here is a picture that is rare! Kalee and my Dad my dads parents! My Grandpa hates to get his picture taken and will avoid it at all costs!

Kalee and her boys!

Kalee strutting her stuff on the dance floor with her family!

And as if I didn't have enough men in my life here is a pic with me and all my brothers! I'm so excited for my dad and the new chapter in his life that he is starting! Kalee is great and so are Chett and Chalis! They fit right into our family and it's always great to have them around! Congrats!!!

Baby It's Cold Outside!!!

This week has been a crazy snow filled week! On Monday we woke up to a small amount of snow which was no big deal until it was time to take Trey to school! It literally took us 30 minutes to get off our hill that morning! They were basically only letting one car down the hill at a time! I would have just bagged Trey going to school that day but he was practicing for a dance that his class is going to be doing for a fundraiser and I didn't want him miss it! Yesterday was suppose to be the big day, the day that we would have the biggest blizzard of the decade! ( that is what I read somewhere) We waited around all day for it to get here and it didn't disappoint!

Here is a picture, not a great one since I took it on my phone but whatever! All these pictures are out of order so sorry but I don't want to fix them!

This is a Trey Baby helping Richard clean up the mess as Jack likes to say!

We decorated the tree after Trey got home from school on Monday! Jack didn't want anything to do with this decorating crap so me and Trey did it while he had a nap!
The finished product! I always love when the tree is up it makes our house so cozy! And yes I do need to get a tree skirt! We put another tree up in our family room and I donated the Tree skirt to that cause since it's been up for weeks! It didn't really go with this tree anyways it needs something more fancy!

Here is more of Trey working hard!

Here he is relieved that our wonderful neighbor came to help with his "Snow mower" That is what Jack calls it! Jack is not loving the cold weather he even made me carry him into walmart all snugly this morning! Which if you know Jack he doesn't like to be caught dead with me carrying him like a baby into stores! He's a man he can walk! He sits in the chair and just stares out the window with his Baby bear and just likes to look at it! He's precious! Maybe next year he will be into it! In baby news I went to the Dr. yesterday... Trey took me! We didn't have anyone to watch the boys so Richard was going to watch them while I just went but Trey decided to go with me! It was funny he was super nervous for me he thought I was going to get a needle! But he was trying really hard to be tough and kept telling me that I needed to hold his hand and that it would be OK he would take care of me! Oh Trey Baby you are going to make a fine husband someday! Babycakes is sounding good and it was super uneventful which is how I like it! We find our what we are having on December 28, it should be exciting! We can't wait to know the flavor we have a girl name picked out but no boy names so we shall see!

Putting up Christmas Lights is Hail!!!

Richard is all about hanging Christmas lights on our house! Every year he plans it out and tries to see how he can get away with getting more lights on our house! This usually involves many trips to the store because he hooks to many strings together causing some strings to completely quit working! This year we decided that we were going to change up our lights from the plain old icicle lights to some fancy blue LEDs! We are planning on trading in our old light and hoping that these last us alot longer! Richard got on the roof a few days ago and measured everything out to see how many were were going to need. Then last night we head to not one but two walmarts to stock up! Today is literally the only day that he can put them up! He is about to get really busy with Harry Potter so it had to be today! When we got up this morning it was windy and a little bit rainy but that was not going to stop him!

Here he is working so hard!

Soon after it started to hail and here he was hiding in this little corner hoping it would pass!

I decided to brave the hail just to get a picture of him on the roof! It wasn't my best idea since the moment that I went out there it really started hailing hard and the it was rather big! He is still on the roof right now and luckily the hail has stopped! Oh the things that he will do to have his house look all festive!

Massacre...I Mean Disney On Ice!!!

On Sunday Richard was able to get us and some of our friends Disney on Ice tickets! We were all excited to go because we do our best family activities on Sundays!

Here is Richard with his boys!

We had amazing seats about 18 rows up!

All was going good while we enjoyed the Lion King!

And then this is where things started to take a turn for the worst! Do you see that look on Trey's face he is meaning business! Jack was just being himself and decided that he would take a little rest on Trey's lap! Trey didn't like this idea and literally pushed his brother off his lap face/mouth first into the chair in front of him!
Which brought on this! Jack ended up almost biting his tongue off. There was blood everywhere! It was so bad that when Richard ran him up to the bathroom 3 security guards ran in after him to see what happened! Jack was not a happy camper and me and Richard ended up taking turns sitting outside with him, so we both only saw about half of the show! Poor little Jacky Bair!

Some of us also got to see Lilo and Stitch

Peter Pan!

And here is the big ending! The Little Mermaid was there too but I didn't get any pics of that! It was not one of our best family outings since it was basically a bloody massacre but it's one of our memories! We debated about whether he needed to go and get stitches but we decided that it would be ok...and it had been! After we got home he got some food in his belly and put on some basketball shorts and watched the Grinch (his favorite show of the moment) and all was better! It's looking alot better today! We will always remember this time as the time Trey pushed Jack off the chair!

The Belly at 12 Weeks!!!

So, I decided that I needed to do a better job at documenting this pregnancy! Since this is our last and final baby (Yes, We know that we said that after the birth of Jack, but this is really it!) I thought that I needed to take more pictures and remember this time in my life because I'm certain that I will forgot what I looked like and how I felt! That all seems to go away once you hold your precious little baby in your arms! So here it is the Belly shot....
Can you believe that my belly is already this big!!! We took this picture on Sunday when I was at 12 weeks and 2 days! Holy Cow....It's amazing how much bigger you get with everyone! I can't believe that this is what I already look like, but it has no where else to go! I'm still trying to convince myself that I can fit into my regular pants, but lets be honest with ourselves I'm walking around with my pants completely undo all the time! Unfortunately it's probably time for me to just give in and get some "Stretchy Pants"! I would probably be alot more comfortable! My grandma keeps telling me that since it is winter time that I can just get away with wearing sweats and sweat shirts, but seriously I would be depressed if I dressed like that all the time! So I'm going to have to cave! I've been feeling really good just tired but that is probably because I'm running around after 2 crazy boys all day! Nothing exciting is happening which is a good thing! I feel like this one is going alot faster then the other two! It seems like we just barely found out that we were pregnant and before we know it we will be finding out what we are having! I don't feel as anxious to find out what it is going to be this time around I am feeling alot more patient about it! Jack is starting to warm up to the idea of having a baby and Trey is constantly trying to name it, which is a little scary sometimes! He likes some crazy names! So there you have it, a 12 week update!

Halloween!!!

Our Halloween was great this year and in the words of Trey it was the best Halloween of his life! All my pictures are out of order and I don't feel like fixing them so this is all going to be backwards! We had our BFF's the Ropers over this year for the Halloween festivities and it was so much fun. We started the night off with Chili made by me and Super yummy cinnamon rolls made by Kelly! We got our bellies full and then headed off from Trick or Treating!

My camera was really sucking at taking pictures at this time but here are all the kids dressed in there best getting treats!

At first Jack and Tenzing weren't really sure about this whole thing but as soon as they saw the candy they couldn't get to the door fast enough! Sadly Trick or treating didn't last that long since it started to rain but they all still made out with alot of candy! We headed back to our house where all the kids had a even greater time handing out candy! It made my job alot easier. I just got to sit and visit with my peeps while the kids did all the work! It was great!

Earlier that day we hit up Grandpa Studs and Grandma Princesses for some Trick or Treating! The boys were really excited to see them! Well I don't know about Jack he was having one of his possessed moments but Trey had fun seeing Grandpa and getting his picture taken with him!

We also hit up Grandpa Bair's Jack was actually friendly for a minute and got a picture with Grandpa!

Grandpa spoiled them as usual and pretty much let them take his whole bowl of candy!

We had a great time Trick or Treating to see family and a wonderful time with our great friends! We didn't have as many trick or treaters as we usually do this year so Richard was pretty glad about the stash of candy that we have left over! He wouldn't allow anything to be given away that was good so we have tons of great treats if you are into tons of chocolate! Which at this time I'm not so yay for Richard! We had a great Halloween but now we are looking forward to Christmas! How early is to early to put up your Christmas Tree ;)
