Happy Halloween From Our Little Monkey

11-11-11

On 11-11-11 we get to find out if the Little is a boy or a girl.

I think BOY

Incase you are wondering

• Heart rate is in the 150's


• I have felt sicker this time than with Drake


• I am carrying pretty low so far

What is your guess?


 

Disney on Ice is Coming to Des Moines

ENDLESS RICHES ABOUND WHEN DISNEY ON ICE PRESENTS TREASURE TROVE COMES TO DES MOINES

Disney’s newest princess Rapunzel appears on ice for the first time in new skating spectacular celebrating legacy of Disney animated films.

Fire F@&k

Drake loves trucks. He really, really loves trucks. He loves to play with them, read about them, talk about them, and point them out on the road. He loves trucks.

This really would not be a problem except for the fact that when he says the word 'truck' it does not sound like that. Drake says the word with more of an 'f' sound and the 'r' sound is very faint so his 'truck' sounds more like 'f$@k'.

I will give you a moment to process how strange this must sound coming out of a toddlers mouth.

I will now give you a moment to process how we laugh so, so, so hard when Drake says 'fire f$@k' over and over again.

I am sure with a little practice we will get 'truck' down, but for now I guess we will just be seeing lots and lots of 'f&@ks' as we drive down the roa

The Card Still Makes Me Laugh

This was our Christmas card from last year.

I am still obsessed with it.

How can you not look at this and just laugh?

After I took this picture there was NO doubt in my mind that it would be going on our Christmas card. For the past few years I have made our Christmas cards on Shutterfly and have been so happy with the outcome and quality of the cards.

As soon as I saw this particular card design I knew it would be perfect to go with my Scary Santa photo. I have done Christmas cards in the past but none received the enthusiastic reaction that this card did. I'm going to be hard pressed to top this card this year!

Things I Don't Want to Forget

• The way Drake will play with his cars quietly in bed for a good hour after lights out at night.


• The other day Drake hit me and Ben told him that it was not nice to hit Momma. He looked at me with a smile and said "I gotcha Momma" Ben then told him again in a firmer voice it is not nice to hit. Drake looked right at Ben and said "Oh Geez" Ben and I then both lost it.


• Drake got in Ben's car the other day and said " Messy Car Daddy" Sure enough there was stuff everywhere. Smart boy!


• Every night before we start eating supper Drake says "Hands" and wants us all to hold hands and pray. Melts me heart.


• Drake is positive the baby is a sister and her name will be Sucker.


• He loves to sing along to songs and dance to any music.


• The way he always says "sorry" if he gets hurt even if it is not his fault.


• His love for jumping off the couch, coffee table, and down the stairs.


• Seeing his face the first time we took him to the movie theatre.


• How he says "Ready Guys?" before we go outside.


• How he like to yell "Hi friends" when he sees the neighbor kids.


• How he says "Excuse Me" at just the right times.


• How he says "Thank You" and "Please" and really means it.

I'm so in love with that little boy and I just never, ever, ever want to forget the things that make my heart smile.

Hello Baby Bump!

13 weeks (a couple weeks ago

I'm definitely showing earlier than I did with Drake, but I'm loving it! I've started to feel very faint flutters and can't wait until the real kicks start coming. I'm trying to enjoy every second of this pregnancy because before I know it will be over!
