Big Sis!

Mikayla has had a lot of exciting things going on as well. This is the "you're getting another brother face!" She is so nonchalant about it, but says she is excited. She is such a little mommy anyway, I think she will be a big help.
Mikayla's class did a unit on animals and she got the Koala. She spent weeks learning about them and even gave a power point presentation to her class. She also did a habitat, a mosaic, and a report. Her interesting fact was that Koala means "no drink" because they hardly drink any water. She got an "A" on everything she did! We were so proud and I just loved seeing her creativity come out.
Love the ears!!
Her report--I think if you click on it you could probably read it.

This week she had her spring performance "Jonah" and she was sooooooo excited she even agreed to wear a dress. It helped that I told her that her BFF's were wearing dresses too. She picked it out all by herself and I thought she looked gorgeous!
She is always so animated during her performances, I just love to watch her!


This is the smile she gave me when she saw me in the audience, it was all I could do to not start blubbering in front of everyone. What a sweetie. She still loves to see her Mama!


Enough pictures Mom!Mikayla and her little bro--28 weeks.

Sightings...

...in our backyard.The creepy, giant woodpecker is back and he brought a friend. Seriously they are really big and wierd and spastic and can really do some damage to the trees.

They were back there playing with a bunch of Cardinals.


This was a few weeks ago when we had snow. There were about 7 deer back there eating for about an hour and then a few days later they were in our front yard.



We have been seeing a couple of Hawks lately and they have been catching "things" and then you can see feathers/fur floating thru the air as they rip whatever it is they caught to shreds.

Two crazy Thiesens finally able to play in the backyard on some nice days.


7 year old photo shoot

His shirt says, "Big Brothers Rock!"
You can really see the space from his two bottom teeth that fell out. I think I forgot to post about that 2nd lost tooth.

Please excuse the face. I have been getting over a cold and Zach took this pic. Just focus on the big belly. I think this is about 27 weeks. Lots of kicks, a little less nausea, and still no name.
