What you never want to hear...

"Your belly is getting so big"

(Heard today while I was exercising.

I expect it from my kids...but not an adult)

Getting Married

Hank and Meg came out this morning and said we are getting married.

Meg said I am mommy and Hank is daddy.

Baby girl

Baby girl,

You are giving me lots of hunger pains.

But...

Then you give me gas pains and HEARTBURN.

Love, Mom

I just want to document my belly.

St. George

This past weekend we went to St. George.

We went out to the sand dunes one day.

My kids felt like they were on the beach in Hawaii.

Some of the highlights of the weekend.

Nick getting stuck in the razor.

Rod rolling the 4-wheeler with Kate.

Hank falling into a cactus.

Poor little guy he was covered with needles.

Kids got to swim in the warm hot tub.

No snow.

Watching Nick compete in dirt bike race.

It was a fun weekend.

Happy Birthday to you....

Meg

I can't believe you are 5 years old.

You were so excited for your birthday, 

but when the day came you were so embarrassed.

You kept asking why is everyone calling me.

And singing Happy Birthday to you.

You had a little friends party.

You wanted to go bowling and have pizza.

 You didn't want a birthday cake or ice-cream.

Just sugar cookies.

My kind of girl.

 Meg you have such a spunky little attitude.

You know what you want and aren't going to settle.

You love to play with your brother and sister.

But also love to tease them.

You are doing so well in school and love seeing your friends there.

You love egg rolls, Edmomae, artichokes, any type of pasta and candy.
You love all dogs, mermaids and cutting pieces of paper.

Once you found out the baby was girl, you love to talk and kiss mommy's tummy.

You are going to be a great big sister.

I love you!
