And the baby is...

A GIRL! Yep, you heard right, we're having a little girl. Mike was so excited when he saw the somogram, she's already got him wrapped around her little finger. And me, oh my goodness... that day my mom and I went to buy a cute little girl outfit.. I've got to have something to balance out all the camo and Nerf guns! Her name is Mary Grace and is expected Feb 1st. Anthony is excietd to have a little sister, and Jake, well, Jake just likes to sit on her :) !

This is her pretty little profile!

It's been how long?

Okay- I realize it's been a few weeks... okay 5 months... since my last blog, but I've been a little busy, so say the least. I'm inspired to do this tonight b/c I just got off the phone with my dear friend Jen and she whipped me into shape (as she pften does!). Alot has happened since you heard from me last, which is partly what I blame my absence on. Anthony is talking so much, he's such a smarty-pants, Jake is getting around crawling like a mad man and eating everything in his sight. And then there's that other little thing that's kept me busy... yep, you guessed it... another short is on the way! Here's his or her first photo... yes, oowing and awwing IS allowed (and encouraged)!



If you look close you can see little arm and leg buds (he/she is lyiing on their side, head to the left. The little ball to the left is the head, the ball to the right is the tummy and the 4 balls surrounding the tummy are the limbs! (The baby is in the black bean-shaped thing)



So, needless to say, I've been TIRED! I sleep any moment I get, so obviously I'm much too busy catching Zzzz's to blog :)!



Here's some other pics of the boys being cutie-pies~

Here's Jake being a cowboy- YeeHaw!
Anthony wearing Daddy's hat, being cool
Jake munching on corn for the first time (he's a human garbage disposal)
Anthony peeing in the back yard (isn't that cute)- annd YES, we're country like that! By the way, I had to give Anthony a cop hair cut b/c I was trimming the bottom and oops, went too high and had to cut it short so you couldn't tell... it's grown out now!
Jake sporting his Mow-Hawk at the family reunion

Well, I hope you enjoy these pictures... maybe I'll post more next year-ha!

Here we are... again

Okay, with "gentle"probbing from my dear friend Jen, here I am again. I have been on a sort of retirement/vacation/hiatus from the blog, but she has whooped me back into shape. So much has happened since the last blog, I'm mnot sure where to start... Jake is getting so big. he's the best baby ever. I'm so in love with his little look, head half cock-eyes, smiling with his tounge sticking out and drool running down his chin. He's such a funny little guy, I can't wait to see what he's like when he grows up. He's so good natured.. he eats, smiles, poops, laughts, flirts, babbles, drools, and sleeps (notice hardly NO crying!)

As for Anthony, well he's growing up to be a little man right before our eyes. (Warning: here goes the incessive bragging, that is what these things are for right?) He is a genious... yes I know people say that all the time about thier kids, but really, mine IS a genius! He's counting to 12, poops in the toilet (not peeps yet though), can say some of his ABC's, and can pretty much hold a conversation with you. His new thing is being ultra cool looike his daddy and wearing sunglasses. Even at night, he says "bright momma, glasses please"... sing along with me... "I wear my sunglasses at night, so I can , so I can ..." That's right, he's cool. Well, here is what you've been waiting for... pictures! Here is Jake falling asleep in his exer-saucer and at Anthony's birthday party. And our little football guy... he weras this helmet that his cousin Mark gave him everywhere! Also, notice his fashion sense... PJ's with a Cowboys sweatshirt and boots... stylin'!
