How was your day?

Ok, so basically yesterday could've passed for one of those terrible days that you don't want to remember but looking back might be sort of funny. It is not yet funny to me though. So, I will not even mention my morning and I will just skip to the afternoon. We were at Costco(I shouldn't have to say much more to all the SAHMs out there). The kids were doing their usual: running down the isles, grabbing every sample and then yelling "this is gross", wanting to buy everything that we don't ever buy. Not so bad. We finally left the store in one piece. We got to the van and loaded everything in, including the kids. Although I did think about casually leaving them in the cart as I was returning it. We were driving home and when we got to a stop light, the person ahead of me stopped rather quickly. So, I slammed on my breaks so I wouldn't hit them. Well, we were fine but I heard all of my grocerys come flying to the front of the van. For some reason, I had left the back seats down so there was a nice flat run-way for the food to slide down. The food didn't slide, it flew. I heard a few bangs and then Luke looked back and said that the rotisserie chicken that I had bought had spilled. No bid deal right???? Well we were almost home and I kept hearing things sliding around under our seats. I just thought it was the peaches. Nope. It was the EGGS. Yes, every single egg had flew from the carton into my nice clean van. I found about four that HADN'T broken, the rest were cracked open sliding around in my van. Don't forget, this was Costco's 18 pack, not the normal dozen. Well, I didn't really know what to do. What do you do when something like this happens???? You spend the next two hours cleaning out your van with a wet/dry vacuum.
P.S. Sorry no pictures, I had eggs all over my hands and didn't think that ruining my camera was worth the proof. Who would ever make that up anyway.
P.S.S. And I wouldn't recommend trying to picture what it looked like either b/c it was way worse than you can imagine.

Farmer's Market at the Ferry Building

We went to the farmer's market in the city yesterday. Everything looked so yummy I wanted to buy it all!





But, I decided to only get the necessities...so we got some treats at the bakery.

Pregnant Mommy or Fat Mommy

I found this picture that Luke had drawn of me earlier this week. I thought it was great. I especially like the circles by my arm-pits. I don't know if they are breasts or arm-pit hair. Anyway, that is beside the point. I asked him, "if the baby is so small in my belly, why am I so big?" His reply was "because you are fat."

Happy Hollow

We went to this amusement park on Saturday in San Jose called Happy Hollow. It is going to be closed down for six months for remodeling-thank goodness because it was totally lame. The kids had fun though.

Summer Lovin'

Well the weather has been so nice here that we have been soaking it up. Here are some random pictures of what we have been doing here in the bay area. A couple of them are taken up at Russian River. We went with our friends to their parents' cabin and it was great. The one at the picnic table is of a few friends we had over for a pool party. The one in the middle is before Brooke's ballet recital. She was a butterfly. Hope your having a fun summer too!

Why am I so lazy????

That is what JR asked me this morning. I would have punched him but I couldn't get out of bed. So, here are a few reasons I might be too tired to do anything today(except eat of course)
1. It is Monday, any other questions.
2. I am almost 6 months pregnant but I look and feel like I should be 8 months. Add on to that the fact that I was already pregnant for 9 months and then took a two month break and here we go again. I am the elephant women-did you know they are pregnant for two years?
3. We went to our friends cabin this weekend and now I have tons of laundry to do and a car to clean out.
4. I am having my V.T. over for dinner tonight and have to clean the house and make a nice dinner.
5. I just got back from the grocery store and I forgot something I need.
6. I just started reading the book Twilight by Stephanie Meyers and that is all I want to do.
7. My kids have been fighting all morning and into the afternoon.
8. My bed is really comfy.
Well I couldn't even get to 10 reasons because while I was writing all of this I realized that I should actually get started on some of it. Well maybey after I read one chapter of my book. I will just make sure to keep my bedroom door closed, then I won't have to clean it. That is one less thing I have to do.

Here we go again

Hello to all. For those of you who don't know, I am pregnant again. I am very excited, but also very nervous. After having a stillborn, it is hard to have an exciting pregnancy because I am constantly wondering what is going on in there and how I am suppose to get through the next 9 months. Well thankfully I have made it through the first half. Getting through the next half will be stressful and I am sure I will need to have faith. No more happy blissful pregnancies for this girl, I am a stress-case and could use any advice and encouragement you have!!!!
We found out it is another girl! I am thrilled. She is moving alot and I am loving every minute of it. We like the name Caitlynn-what do you think????? Our minds could change easily but for now I am digging it. I am due Oct 10th but they are inducing me around Sept 24th for obvious reasons. Pray for me to survive that long!!!!!!
As far as the other two kids, we are getting ready for swimming lessons and summer camps. Luke is getting excited for Kindergarten and I am getting excited to have him gone five mornings a week-is that a bad thing to admit???? Brooke has her ballet recital this Saturday. She is only 3 but they have had 3 rehersals just this week! It should be great and I can't wait for JR to see her in her little costume.
JR is enjoying his job and I keep having to remind him of his family at home. We love that he is employed and that we are able to do fun things with his paycheck but we also would love more time with our daddy. I think this is going to be an ongoing struggle for our family. He says that he has to work so hard to compensate for my spending habits(whatever) and I say that if he was home more I wouldn't need to spend so much on food and extra-curricular activities(going for ice-cream 3x this week and spending $180 at Costco on who knows what) I guess he does have a point. But the ice-cream was all the babies fault I swear.
