Gimp Picture

Okay, so I hadn't planned on posting alot of "belly" pictures on here, however someone very special requested a belly shot of me in my boot & on crutches. I guess people are getting a kick out of my pain & misery! (ha) So here you go un-named person, who is my sister and very beautiful!! Enjoy it! Hopefully these crutches will be gone SOON!!

18.5 weeks baby #3

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Uncle Ryan came to spend New Years with us as well as our friend Terry & Lorisa & their son Kael. Lorisa was so awesome & even brought Cheeseburger Soup along for dinner (it was YUMMY & I'm planning to blog the recipe for you all SOON).

We sat and played all sorts of games.

The kids got sidetracked by a little movie:

Prestyn managed to sneak over by us to sit:

Some friends of ours taught us a new game. I think it's call "STORY". You each have a piece of paper and a pen and start righting a story. It can be about anything. And every 30 seconds or so you switch, and pass your sheet to the person on your left. Leaving them only the last line of your story to read, and they are supposed to pick up from there.

You do this until the paper is full, then take turns reading the stories.

Needless to say, they were HILARIOUS, as you can see.

Funny enough to make Uncle Ryan CRY!!!!

We've had a wonderful 2009 and have been immensly blessed. We are looking forward to an exciting 2010 and many more wonderful things to come!! :)

day 5

Well, here we are, Day 5 since the fracture...still swollen, turning all sorts of colors and still hurting, but not as badly as the first couple days. Lovely huh?

Just call me cankles....YUCK!

some knitting pics

Well, I've been keeping busy with knitting and made this hat. Then made the flowers to go on it. These BIG flowers are very in right now for little girls and I think ADORABLE (dad I know you'll say differently). When I showed Justyn this one he stepped back & said "oh my GAWD" He doesn't love it at all...oh well, hopefully I'll sell it!

This one Justyn likes alot, he likes the smaller flower. I still plan to put a button to match in the middle, but can't get to my needles right now. So this will wait until I can get around better.

Doesn't Prestyn make a great model?? He thought the BIG flower hat was the best. :) Can't wait to have our baby girl wearing cute girly stuff! WHOOHOO!

SPOILED!

We were spoiled yesterday! Uncle Curt & Aunt Shari called & wanted to bring something over for us. They showed up with dinner, dessert and MILK DUDS!!! (how did they know??)

Also they brought the boys a barrel of monkeys and a "SMOKIN HOT MUSTACHE" for Cayden. For those of you who have a good memory, he used to say this ALL the time. To EVERYONE!!

SO thanks to Curt & Shari - we really appreciate your caring!!

INVITES!!

Oh, and today I actually made it downstairs and made birthday party invitations for Charlie and Hope's party! Here are the sneak peek pics I emailed Steph, you'll have to wait for the full view until she receives them!!

I love custom orders!!!

CHARLIES:

HOPES:

Keeping busy

I decided if I was laid up I may as well be productive and stay busy. So i've been busy reading this book "America's Cheapest Family". Really quite an interesting read to hear how this family saved their money & stuck to a budget. Alot of the things they do, we do similarily, so we might just need to do a little tweaking!!

Of course THIS lovely box of Milk Duds that Heather brought me on Sunday is GONE (I have to gain SOME pregnancy weight...don't judge me) and YES Justyn did help me eat them....he's so loving and generous!!

I started another hat, this was on sunday just starting out, and I just finished it this afternoon, and now have another hat cast on!! :) FUN!!!

Of course I've been keeping Justyn busy with "Can you get me some more water?" "can you get me some more tylenol" and on Monday it was "I have to go to the bathroom"

(all before the crutches & boot. Now all he has to "do" for me is water & meds)

(and cooking, cleaning, feeding kids, laundry, diaper changes, baths, etc) He's doing an awesome job & has even kept Prestyn in cloth full-time since this whole thing happened.

WHAT A MAN!!!!!

Well he's been home for awhile & I guess re-organizing the closets last week wasn't enough to satisify his urge to de-clutter. So today I caught him re-organizing the kitchen cupboards/pantry. :)

He told me "NO PICTURES"!! HA.

I told him if he wants to win "Husband/Father of the Year" then I need to document all the fabulous things he does!!

Just FYI ladies, he is available for hire if you need him to come organize anything in your house. :) Just call and we'll set it up!!! (love you pooks)
