Snow, snow, snow!!!

I was so excited to see the rain a few days ago. I thought, Wow! This is awesome, I love the rain! Yeah, that did not last long. The snow came that night and though it was not too much this time...I am getting really sick of it! I think it must be a girl thing or something but I am ready for spring, the rain, the flowers...The works! Ohwell, wishing isn't going to get me anywhere so I guess we'll just play in it right?


Here are just a few pics of stuff that takes up the Winter days!
We had to build our annual snowman. Compliments to MaryAnn who gave us that cute set to decorate him with! The kids really love going outside, I need to be better about getting the energy to get them dressed and undressed after these activities! Whooh, sometimes it's a workout!






My parents gave us kids a snowmobiling trip this year for Christmas. What a gereat gift. we all went together a couple Saturdays ago up to Strawberry Resevoire. It's so pretty up there. I wish I would have snapped more picture but my hands were freezing. I'm lucky I got these. They're kind of goofy but I'll take what I get!
Thanks mom and dad for the great day! You are amazing and we love you!

Cancun!

Our trip was a blast!

Anyone who has ever been to Cancun I'm sure has a hard time explaining how beautiful it is in words! I will try. We stayed in a beautiful Resort with all inclusive benefits which means...all the Daquiries and Pina coladas I wanted! We met some great friends there and had so much fun with them.

We went 4-wheeling through the jungle & onto the beach. It was amazing & really bumpy! Okay is it just me or is everyone's bladder hard to control when pregnant??? I probably shouldn't have gone but we tried to be really careful.It had rained quite a bit so the water puddles were huge. We were soaked!



On to Cancun city. We took a taxi into the city to hit some flea markets and shopping. Jon found something he wanted while I had my shopping! He was obsessed with the Luchador masks they sold there. He got one for him & Hunter. I'll have to post a picture of them wrestling together...it's hilarious!


We had so much fun with our friends Jill & Adam & Eunice & George. What a fun group of friends, we really lucked out to have people we had so much in common with, forced to hang out with us...poor them!
It was pretty chilly there most of the time so we want to go back real soon when it's nice & warm!
It was such a blast & we weren't away from the kiddos for too long. I find I'm so much a better mom when I have little breaks like this. Everyone is like that right???

Happy News!

Hello everyone, it has been a while!
We have some happy news. The best Christmas present ever!
We're expecting baby #3!!!
We're telling people really early which we haven't done with any of our little ones, but we couldn't hold it in any longer! We're pretty excited so we hope it still comes quickly and the pregnancy part (at least the first trimester) goes fast!
We were able to hear the heart beat yesterday and that is always the most reassuring appointment just to know it's all okay in there! I am a little over 8 weeks now so our projected due date is Aug. 18th! I am all for inducing so the doctor says as long as I'm ready, he doesn't mind taking me a week early!
We're hoping for the beginning of August!
Next week we do get to go to Cancun though! Jon's work is forcing us to go...what do you do? That will hopefully break up this cabin fever I have! Jon brought home flowers for me yesterday and they reminded me of Spring! It can't come quick enough I say!
So... here's to some good months ahead! No more Nausea and less mood swings!!! (poor Jon)
