Last night my husband really wanted to get out of the house and take a drive on his new toy, a golf cart, I'll post about that later, so he tried to bribe me with ice cream to get me off the couch. I said no thanks I'm good I don't really feel good. His comment to me was you MUST be really sick to deny ice cream twice in one night. I hope that he gets it a little more that I'm not just trying to get out of house work, I really don't feel good some days.
Blogging is hard to keep up with. I don't feel like I'm ever doing anything blog worthy, and we NEVER take the camera anywhere. Braxten has come and gone this summer. I had so much fun with him this year. He is growing up so fast and it makes me a little sad. He doesn't just miss his mom anymore when he comes out he is starting to miss his friends, which just makes me think he is getting to old. Braxten has such an imagination, and loves to build. He builds legos and makes new worlds and skate parks and his mind just keeps going, he is so smart. We got to spend a lot of time together this summer. The first two weeks he was here, his cousin came out with him from Utah, and his grandparents and aunt. It was so much fun having everyone here, and playing and I think Braxten really liked having his cousin on his turf for a change. They were XBOX junkies anytime they weren't in the pool or on the lake, so I thought that it was going to be a long summer, because I'm to old to watch them play because it makes me sick. But after he went home Braxten did a lot more lego building and so forth. Justin had to work A LOT this summer because about two weeks into Braxten being here his lead guy quit so he had to go install lights everyday, instead of just line the guys out. So there was a lot of time with just B and I, but I loved it, except shower time and teeth brushing time!! Braxten's new love this summer was Six Flags, he loves roller coasters. Last time we went he wouldn't ride anything and this summer he went twice and all he rode was the adult rides, no kiddie rides this year. I think his dad going with him helped him be a little tougher this year, but he still loved it. Justin on the other hand gets motion sickness on them and it hurts his back. I told B next time I would go and we would leave the old man at home. Which brings me to our next exciting news of the summer. After six and half long years of trying to get pregnant our prayers have been answered and we are having TWINS!!!!!!!!!!!! We are so happy and a little overwhelmed, but can't wait to welcome our new members to the family. I can't wait to find out what we are having. My due date is Feb.3rd but we will most likely have them the first of the year. So if you've just done the math in your head I'm 3 months along and counting down until they come. Everything is going good, but there was a little bit of a scare at first so the is why I have waited to long to post. I'm so thankful to be able to have had the journey that we've been on to have children. I don't wish it upon anyone, but it brings you closer as a family and that I wouldn't trade for anything.
Baby A was in a much better spot than B but in both videos you can see the heart beats!!! It's so cool, I can't get over the fact that TWO are coming. We of course want healthy babies and that's all we ask for, but I'm also hoping that it's one of each!!!!! We'll see!
So I'm so behind on my blogging I don't even know when this happened, but it was a fun filled evening. Justin's cousin called and asked us to come help him to get out of the mud. Justin hesitated because he didn't want to drive across town and by the time we got there, they would be unstuck. Well let me tell you that was NOT the problem. We arrived on scene to this...
Or should I say MADE of Ice. We have a hotel around here that every year for Christmas season they put together an exhibit of everything made of ice sculptures. It is so cool. Justin's grandma was here in Texas for about a month and a half so I wanted to take her to do a few things. For this outing we invited everyone to come. We had such a good time, although we had a rather late start, it was still a great time and the kids really enjoyed it.
Bundling up for the extreme cold, it's -9 degrees inside the tent, they give every one these blue parkas to stay warm. They are so big on the kids that they look like a bunch of penguins waddling around, it's so cute.
Grandma Mary, Haley, and the Grinch. This is ALL ice behind them, it's so cool to me, I love it!
Not only do they have sculptures, but they make a slide of ice. This is Olivia sliding down, her and Haley were the only kids that would go, but they have a bigger slide for the adults that we all went down, it was so much fun.
The Lee's with grandma Mary, and the Grinch is back there too!
This is my kind of cake, no calories!!!!!
Turkey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These two were so cold! They tried to warm up with the fire candles, but it didn't work out as planned.
