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!
