Jog-A-Thon 2009!

Holy Majoley! We knew he was a natural runner, but wow! He sprinted way out in front of his whole class and ran as fast as he could until he got about half way around the track.Then he stopped for some water.

Saying hi to the Chick-Fil-A cow. I think there is an HCS parent that owns a Chick-Fil-A restaurant, so he is at a lot of HCS events.
Everytime he would get near me he would put his head down and run as fast as he could. Never once even waved to me.=( But I think he was really trying to impress me and knew I was also video taping for Daddy.
He did such a great job and could barely even walk the next day because he also had baseball that night.
His goal is to be taller than his teacher by the end of the year. She is actually also preggo.
They only got popsicles since they didn't reach their goal, but they still had fun and enjoyed the day!



Mikayla saw me and ran as fast as she could to come and say hi and give me a high five. This year I stayed in the stands. I thought she would have been the one to ignore me, but she waved to me a lot.=)

She and her friends didn't run very much but they did stop at every water table!


Getting ice cream was her favorite part! She gets swirl every year!


Thank you to everyone who supported the kids this year!

All About Baby!

Well it has taken me a month to post about it but here it is finally! We got to do another ultrasound because baby wasn't in a very good position at the 20 week ultrsound. So this was around 27 weeks. At the 20 week one they couldn't see the heart from every angle. There was no cause for concern, but I had the option of another one and I took it. It was so wonderful to see baby's chubby little face. We got some very good shots. The kids got to come with again. He weighed about 2lbs. 6 oz. then, a very normal size compared to the 10 week ultrasound so that was a relief.Now that I am in my third trimester I am finally feeling pretty good. Nausea is gone, thankfully. I did find out at around 26 weeks that I have developed an allergy to dairy products during this pregnancy. I am not sure when it happened, but once I stopped eating them the lingering nausea I had went away and I have never felt better! I am pretty consistent in my pregnancies with not having that great 2nd trimester everyone talks about. So now I am finally getting to focus on the fun of pregnancy and do some shopping and picking out names. I know it sounds weird, but I do love being pregnant! I love every kick and movement, and seeing the growing belly, and having a precious life growing inside of me. The miracle of it never gets old. We are doing lots to get ready now. We got a car seat, picked a paint color for baby's room, bought a bunch of stuff at Babies RUs, and have a couple of names we really like. We will definitely wait until he is born to reveal the name. This picture is the day I took a pregnancy test and it was positive. I was about 6 weeks along. I can't believe how much I have grown since October and how much he has already changed our lives. We are all very excited to meet this little guy!

This was last Friday at 32 weeks.
I have really felt God's hand on me and baby through this whole pregnancy and I keep going back to the same verse, "The Lord has made everything for His own purposes."-Proverbs16:4a

Happy Easter!

We had a lot of Easter fun this past week!Coloring Easter eggs!
My handsome boy! You can see one of his front teeth is hanging on by a thread. He looks much different today, stay tuned.
Baby just sat back and watched, but he did kick a lot. (A whole post just about Baby coming soon!)
My beautiful girl!
The Easter bunny brought lots of fun crafty things and even some flip flops for baby!

It was a mad dash to find all the eggs.
Yummy chocolate!

Mikayla drew in her fashion design book all day! She kept saying, "This book is so cool, I love it!!"Two handsome men ready for Church!
I can't even remember what was so funny!
He thinks he is so cool in his suit and he is!
Mikayla suddenly decided she did not like her new dress and had a little meltdown before Church, so that's why there are no pics of her. She said she is never wearing a dress again!31 weeks!
Wishing everyone a Blessed Easter!

Tooth #2~

This was actually February 28th, 2009. Zach was begging Daddy for a week to pull it out, but it really wasn't ready. So he wiggled it for days trying to loosen it. Daddy finally agreed to give it a try.

I just noticed he is holding Mikayla's Koala webkin for moral support.
By the time he said ow! it was out!
He was only sad for a second and then it was all smiles!He got that hat at school and I am not sure why, but he wore it the whole day.

This has nothing to do with the tooth, I just wanted to remember. Last week he asked me, " Mommy what is that thing that measures air pressure again?" Me kind of puzzled, "You mean a barometer?" Zach," Yes, that's it!" He has been learning about weather in Explorers.
