Mother's Day

Mother's day... Mother's day is interesting for me because it is always fun to see what the kids make or come up with for gifts. Last year, Maddy wrapped a dr. pepper from the fridge and gave it to me. I also got little buttrflies that the twins made. Myah gave me a picture of herself that she's posing in. The kids have been so sweet at making me feel like part of the family. This year, the presents were interesting. I got self portraits from Maddy and Dawson. I am gonna have to have the other kids do one too so I can hang them up. I got a pot for planting that Myah painted and it had kisses in it. Colby gave me a card and a picture of him in his costume for the play coming up. Brady gave his to Tina, I guess one picture of a set of twins is good enough. : ) It is funny because I don't really think he was supposed to give it to me but oh well. The card is the cutest. Mason accidently put "Happy Mother's! Love you lots!" and then an inch below Myah wrote the exact same thing. We celebrated on Saturday after I got back from my massage and facial with Missy. Shout out to my friend Missy who is also pregnant after trying for 2 years! We ordered Barro's pizza and relaxed. I also went to lunch with my mom and sisters on Saturday where they told me all the bad stuff about labor : ) Dustin had told me to have my mom stop by the house after lunch because he had something for her. I had no clue what he was talking about but I did as I was instructed. Later that night I asked him what he gave her. All by himself he had gone to Costco and got a picture of the kids framed and matted and had all the kids write a message on the mat and then gave it to her. I love my husband. I want my mom to know how much I love her and I am glad that I have pretty much turned out just like her : ) I often try to ask myself how my mom would have handled situations when we were kids. I never remember disliking my mom but I always knew what was right and I hope that is the kind of mom and step-mom I can be. Happy Mother's Day to all the mother's that may be reading this!

my pregnancy pic

Here I am today. I haven't been very good at taking pictures of myself pregant but here I am.

I know it has been a while...

Sorry that I haven't updated this thing in a while. The longer I went without posting, the harder it is to come up with something because it all seems insignificant but I am gonna try to do better. One important thing is that the BABY SHOWER IS GOING TO BE ON JUNE 20TH. The TWINS BAPTISM is also going to be on that day. For all of you who don't know, Dustin and I have been trying to get clearence to get sealed. We thought it would have been March but we are hoping that it will get processed soon and we will let you know as soon as we know. We will be on vacation in San Diego from June 11th to the 19th or 20th. ALL THE KIDS EXCEPT MYAH did the Hershey track meet this last week (Pictures to come). MASON is going to be on Student Counsel next year. HAYDEN has a dance concert for the junior high this weekend (picture hopefully to come). MADISON has her last dance competition this week and will be having her recital... information to come. MADDY sold her homemade clips at the school Mercado and made 400 fake dollars (it costed 1 real dollar to get 1 fake dollar). DAWSON and MADDY are the most interested in the baby and ask me everyday how big it is. I think they are the only ones that have felt it kick. COLBY AND BRADY are really growing up... they are now doing their own laundry. MYAH has kindegarten graduation in a few weeks and she is very excited. We just bought her an outfit last night for this event. OVERALL, we are looking forward to school being out and the fun events of the summer. DUSTIN AND I HAVE SOME SURPRISES UP OUR SLEEVES.
UPDATES ON BABY...
I am 28 weeks along tomorrow. I had an ultrasound last week and I am where I should be to the day. It is still a boy. I have a dr appt tomorrow for the Glucose test and then I will be going to the doc every 2 weeks. I can't imagine that in 12 weeks we are going to have a baby. We have pretty much everything we need for the baby just have a lot going on this summer and it is gonna go by fast. Baby is very active when he is awake and kicks a lot. You can now see his kicks from the outside. My back is hurting but other than that I feel great. I have had to take my engagement ring off because my hands are swelling a little bit... I will add some pics soon! I will try to update everyday.
