Another Birthday!

I saw this photo on Anna's blog and loved it so much. I had to rip it off and save it on my computer. Isn't he cute?
Happy Birthday Micah!!!
We all can't wait to see you. Especially Jonah.
Love you tons.
(He's 8!)

Happy Birthday Ella!

Lots of birthdays lately! Ella is one of the sweetest little girls you'll ever meet. She is just an angel. (Like her mother :) We love you Ella and hope you have a very Happy Birthday!

Yeah, it's true.

I have nothing else to talk about so here goes....

My mom posted a message on her blog last week about our "exciting news". She didn't specify, but it kind of gave it away. I'm pregnant! We weren't being terribly secretive about it, but not announcing it to all either. Steve finally gave me the go-ahead to share.



The truth of the matter is, I'm getting fat. In fact, I had some lady from church ask me if I was pregnant. I asked her how she knew before I realized it was because I'm gaining weight. But by golly, I'm gonna let myself gain weight. The reason is, it shouldn't be too long before I'll be puking my guts out. I'm actually surprised I'm not puking yet. In my previous 4 pregnancies, I had about 8 months of severe nausea. So while I still can, I am enjoying food. So now the world knows...world wide web that is.
It's crazy. But it's true. And what is even better is, I am thrilled about it! I'll be due in August.
Guess who else is pregnant? Brittney Spears' little sister Jamie Lynn Spears, who is 16. Pretty cool! I thought if she could be courageous enough to come out with her news to "OK!" then, I can come out with it too.

Maybe we can be pregnant buddies?

Happy Birthday "Cracker"!

Wanted to wish this freakishly cute boy a very happy birthday! I believe he's 7 today. I think he is so adorable and he has got the personality to match. We'll see him next week and will have to bring his gift to him personally. Can't wait!

Happy Birthday Samantha!

Happy Birthday to our sweet little Sammy. She's our TWO year-old neice! Isn' t she a doll? We just love her so much and wish her the happiest birthday. We'll have to count on her mom and dad to give her a birthday kiss and hug from us. Love you Sammy!

Happy Birthday Allie!

I wanted to wish our neice Allie a very happy birthday. In honor of her, I'm gonna post my video of her doing her tap dance. She's the one in the black leotard. She's now 5. It was sheer delight to watch her dance. Hope you all enjoy too. Love you Allie!

Happy Birthday Sam! Pause my playlist now everyone.

Sam's English Project

Happy Birthday Sam! You are such a cool guy. I'm proud you are my brother. Hope you have a great day. In honor of you, I'm publicizing your video. (As a side note everyone, this video stars Sam and Molly's fiance Scott.)

Bailey party

You missed out all you Bailey's out there! We had a ton of fun last night at our annual Bailey Christmas party. Thanks Amy for hosting it again! Here are a couple of highlights. Pete's White Elephant gift was a hit. Here's a photo of him in his new Christmas vest. He loved it.

Here's a photo of Amy having the time of her life.

Here's Becca doing what she does best. Being cute.

And the highlight of the night was the gift that Morgan brought. He had it wrapped in a medium sized box. Uncle David chose it. When he unwrapped it, it was a pet box from PetsMart. Uncle David opened the box to find....


























Yep. A big rat! Amy just about lost it and spent the evening trying to make sure it stayed in the box. Unfortunately it did not go home with uncle David. And despite the pleadings of Amy's children, she didn't let it stay either. Morgan and Sara decided to reuse it at another gift exchange this weekend. Let us know how it plays out guys.
Thanks for the good times everyone! Merry Christmas and can't wait until next year.

Symphony

Last night we all went to the Symphony. It was a Christmas concert and it was fabulous! We had such a nice time. I love the symphony! Santa even came and the kids got to sit on his lap. Wouldn't life be sad without any music? I love music. All kinds. So glad I have some hearing left after that Googoo Dolls concert in college!
