Thanksgiving/birthdays














Well it has been a while since I last posted and it seems like everything has gotten way to BUSY! So I will back up to Thanksgiving.......
We went to Twin for the great Turkey Day and got to enjoy some great delicious food!!! Thanks to my mom and Dad for making the day so yummy and fun! We enjoyed getting to see all the family that was there and had a nice time with everyone. The day after Thanksgiving my poor sister Meagon woke up with the flu....not fun for her, I'm so sorry Meagon. Then that night Brooklyn got the flu too. I have never seen a little girl that turns into an angel when she is sick. She was caressing my face and talking ever so sweetly right after she would puke. She would give me tons of kisses pulling my face so close to hers. I kept wanting to pull away as I didn't want to get it too...but I couldn't possibly turn down sweet hugs and kissing from such a cute sick girl. She kept throwing up stomach bial and it was so hard on her little body, my heart just ached for her. The only thing she wanted to do was to give kisses to Brent and I and even Carter. Brent and I couldn't believe how sweet she was while she was so sick. By the next day she was feeling lots better just no appetite. With all the craziness we decided to even make it more crazy and on Saturday we celebrated Carter's birthday with all his cousins. We took all the kids to "Hop 2 It" in Twin. It used to be Sage Gym when I lived there. It has now changed into a big place full of big blow up slides and jumping things. It's  a great way to let the kids have fun and to get them worn out.  
After hop-2-it we went home and had birthday cake and presents. Carter enjoyed having all his friends (cousins) with him to celebrate his birthday. Thanks to everyone for the great gifts! They have been keeping him busy! I owe you all lots! 
So that pretty much sums up the Thanksgiving weekend. And I want all of you to know that I am thankful for you all!!! I seem to always get so sappy around this time of year (and it doesn't help that I am pregnant...yes you heard right) as I look at my life and realize how much I have and am so thankful for everything. We went to the Forgotten Carols before Thanksgiving and it always puts things in perspective for the Holiday Season! So I am finally letting you all know that I am pregnant with baby #3 and have been extremely sick for the past 11 weeks. And that is how far along I am. Seems like I have been sick from DAY 1. This is going to be a long pregnancy, but oh so fun! :) So more to come! Love to all!

Congrats on baby #3 - I was so nervous to have that third baby, everyone said how hard #3 was. But it's been so much fun, and not hard at all! So congrats and have fun! Have a merry Christmas!

Congratulations on baby #3! Hope you get feeling better soon.

I thoroughly enjoyed having my third baby. I knew what to expect and things went better than before.

Eventhough I felt a bit overwhelmed - he was my best and happiest baby of all. It was nice to just take a step back and do just the "Mom" thing with three kids under three.

Poor Brooklyn - being sick is hard enough on adults but little toddlers...

Merry Christmas!
