Trysten turns 5!

Holy Crud! I can't believe my little boy is 5 years old! Man time flies. We had a nice small birthday party for him and it was really fun. WAY TOO HOT, but really fun. :) We put the pool out for the kids and they stayed nice and cool at least. Us adults were sweatin' like pigs. It was over 100 degrees outside. They decorated their own race cars, ate cupcakes, and did a pinata. We had to come inside for presents cause we were all dyin' in the heat. It was short and sweet. I like these kind of parties! I am sure next year will be tons more kids with him going to school and all.
Anyway, enjoy the pics!

He had to sit on his new bike while he ate his cupcake.

Swimmin' in the pool.

Happy 4th of July!!!!

We spent the 4th at our house and had family and friends over. We had a great time and it went way too fast. It's nice to have everybody in town at the same time.

Gavin enjoyed the watermelon more than the fireworks.

Trysten is already talking about next 4th of July

The Family, all 4 1/2 of us. We can never get all of us looking
at the camera, no matter how many pictures we take!

A rare picture of just Keith and me.

RIP M.J.

Due to the fact that Michael Jackson is 99% plastic, he will be melted into Lego blocks so the little kids can play with him for a change.

A lot has happened over the last week or two. The picture above is my mother's day gift from the boys. They are so dang cute! Keith turned 32, old man. And we celebrated our 7th anniversary. Of course I was sick, so we had a quick night out. It's worth it, 8 weeks and counting.

Preggo News

Okay, okay, I am pregnant. I was amazed actually at how many people noticed those extra feet! Of course it was my parents who didn't quite get it so I had to call them and help them out a bit. :) So yes, my hubby's righteous seed has been planted in my wombgarden and agrowin' away in there at this very moment. So here we go again... (sigh)

So why am I not sounding more excited you ask? Well, don't get me wrong, I am totally stoked about having another baby and stuff and totally want another child to love and care for, but I am sicker than a dog right now and can hardly eat anything without feeling like I am going to puke my guts out (sorry if that is a little disgusting, just tellin' it like it is.) So yeah, I am so not in a very good mood right now because I feel like total poop. And even better: IT LASTS ALL DAY LONG! Happy birthday kids you're mommy is going to be a little psycho for the next 2 months! After I am done being sick then I will be back to normal. But for now you all just might want to stay away from the crazy lady. (unless of course you want to take the kids for me or clean my house, then by all means come on over!) Oh and if any of you decide to make homemade rolls for dinner and "accidentally" double the recipe and don't know what to do with the rest I would gladly take them. I could totally eat a few packets of yeast right now or even better a whole batch of bread dough. A little weird? yes, maybe so. At least I am not the pregnant lady who wants to eat dirt or laundry detergent.
Anyway, I should prolly go. My youngest child just let the muddy dog in the house and now I have to go clean it all up. (I keep on telling myself it will all be worth it in the end) ugh.

p.s. if anyone wants to pray that my sickness won't last very long and that I have the strength to get through this you are very welcome to do so. :)

I guess we're a little obsessed...

...with the Tarheels. I found this on Ebay and just had to get it to put on the back of our van. It had the perfect amount of feet for our family! :)

Trysten's birthday wish....

So Trysten just loves cars, if you didn't know, he actually loves mustangs and always talks about them and everytime he sees a car that he likes he thinks it's a mustang. But Keith's dream car is a Challenger and we decided to go check one out just for fun today. Oh my goodness gracious, Trysten loved it! He was going on and on about how he wants it and we couldn't get him to leave! He was touching the tires, opening the gas tank, and explaining how fire shoots out of the duel exhaust (we didn't have the heart to tell him that it really doesn't do that). I have never seen anyone so obsessed. It was pretty funny. Finally we got him back in the car and told him that we would come back and see it again. Well of course he was talking about it the rest of the day and we told him that after dinner we would go and see it again and get some pictures of him with it hoping that would make him happy. (Seriously, we didn't know what else to do to get him to stop talking about it!) We got there and he spent some more quality time with his obsession and got some pics and then of course it was hard getting him to leave again. So when we got him in the car his face lit and up and he says "Hey I have an idea! Why don't you buy it on my birthday and hide it in the garage and surprise me?!"
hmmm.... :) Funny kid. He's our future vehicle connoisseur.
