Be Mine .....



Well yesterday, really like 4 1/2 hours ago was Valentines Day(I'll explain later why I'm up at this EARLY hour) But it was also Sunday, wow could it be on a busier day? But this had to be one of the Best ones yet! Don't ask why cause I'm not even sure I could tell ya, ok well maybe it's the fact that I was super excited for it, not that I was expecting anything big like a new car or anything like that but because my honey was going to be home with me and the girlss and I kind of was excited that it would just be our family to celebrate. Well come to find out, Brandon had to give a talk (which was AMAZING) and with our early church time, 9 is very hard for us, and I had BYC at 8 it made for a bit of a stressful morning. And my advisor called to tell me that her baby was sick and if I could teach, which wasn't that hard cause it was an easy lesson and Beehives aren't too hard to teach. Cause that ment leaving Brandon to get the girls ready!! AHHHHHH! But when I rushed home after the meeting they looked ... well.... like there Dad fixed there hair! Time to spend some more time in the bathroom with him and the girls is what that told me. Wish I had my camera but he did good for me not being there, I did set out there clothes before I left! So I had wanted to make this cute little breakfast for them before I left, cause last year I made pink heart pancakes, they were super cute, and had strawberries cut up and it was fun, but I was a bit rushed this year so I found this cute thing to do with Pop Tarts that wouldn't be much work, you get Cherry ones, cause they have pink frosting on them and then a heart cookie cutter and press and you have a heart pop tart and then take some iceing, white and pipe it into a prastry bag and write a message on them like love ya, well needless to say I set the box of pop tarts on the counter and left for my meeting, that is how I roll sometimes! So I'm going to try and make a breakfast sometime this week to make up for it. I did feel bad. But when I got home the girls had eaten half each, so maybe they don't like them or it could be that they were burnt, I may need to spend a few more mins helping B with kitchen stuff. But the day before I had made red velvet cupcakes and so I had those to take to church with my lesson and my parents came to hear B talk and to help with the girls, so my mom asked if I would also get some T Bone Steaks for her and my Dad from our frezer, we had a cow, now I have a frezer full of meat, I live in Hooper hopefully enough said. Plus I married a cowboy and that is what they do and a frezer with meat that we don't eat too much of. So I kind of give it away to family!! Ha ha ha except the ground beef we do eat that. Anyways, I had planned to have a great dinner, we did have the girls so it had to include them so no steak and lobster for us, by the way how did that become such a popular thing for Valentines Day? Been wondering that for a bit now, so I made this





Yep I just took it right out of the box and put it in the oven!! What a great way to spend the day! Didn't even slave over the stove! I took a nap instead! But I did have a salad, ok that was a kit I bought at the store too! It was still made with LOVE!! And then green beans, corn, and some pears with cinnimon and sugar on them. That way we all eat them! And after I made browines, cause chocolate is yummy and even better when it's hot with vanilla bean ice cream and chocolate sauce drizzled over the top with a raspberry to top it off, B had chocolate ice cream. And the girls just wanted browine. They are pretty easy to please most of the time. But then after dinner we did gifts, which is kind of a big first for us, we have kind of done it before but it was more like dinner and a redbox was our present. So B went with Hads on Saturday to get my gift and he calls me while at the store asking if I got the girls anything, I think in my head um.... no was I susposted too? So he said he would get something for them! Wow this guy has come a long way! Well they were at IFA, my children know this store like nothing else I've seen, they can hear it on the radio or we drive passed and they say there is IFA! Weird, they do the same thing with CAL Ranch. Anyways, so they ended up with these cute long sleeve shirts, on is pink with a heart and horse on it the other is black with a boot and flowers on it, they are rinestones by that outline them. And then B gave me mine and WOW, it's this bracelet that I like it's all silver and has bling all over it and it's a cowgirl belt bracelet, looks like this



I was so excited, this is the most he's ever spent on a weird holiday like this one. Then he opened mine, it was a Harry Potter movie and Oreos, like I said we kind of go cheap on these holidays. Ug, if I only knew! One extra point for him!!! So it was a fun filled day.

Now as to why I'm up this late. It's my NOSE!!!! Ever since I got pregnant I've had a sinus infection. And I've taken every pill out there and ya it's Febuary and I still have it! It's really annoying. So around 3:30 am every morning I wake up cause I feel like I'm about to die from not breathing! (My Doctor had given me prescriptions for this but I'm not sure if they are helping, I go on Tuesday so I'll get a refill on one that I think was working) And i can't sleep, so I toss and turn and I'm just ug. So I figured I would blog instead of sleep, I may regreat this come 7ish. But there just isn't much I can do, i hate breathing out of my mouth at nite, it really bugs, and my lips get all dried out, gross. I feel like her, only not this cute.



So this way I can drink my water and stay up til one side decides to unclog and I can breath out of it and i'll sleep on the couch cause right now I have a little girl in my bed and I just don't sleep good on my bed. I don't know it's totally weird.

But I'm sure you want a baby update, well I'm forsure showing, I wear jackets ALOT to cover my bump. I'm not ready for this yet! And it feels weird to have a "tummy" even thou I know it's not a "tummy" come on it feels and looks like it! And I'm sure you want to see like the side picture, well I don't do that. If you get to see a picture of me pregers on here it will be my face! And even then maybe not, cause I'm in that I don't feel pretty stage. I feel like a lump of goop. But I did redo my Babyfit.com page, they are amazing for eating and exercise and counting down the days for you and giving you weekly updates on what is going on inside you! Plus what the babe looks like, I've done this now with all my kids, cause I have so many!!! And it's really fun, (Holy cow I've written alot tonight! Wow sorry) so i've also been looking at bedding and colors and all kinds of boy stuff, I'm going to go and get this super cute blanket thing tomorrow to sew for him. And ya I'm really excited for him to be here, I keep thinking that I'm having him in like 2 months, cause I had both the girls in April, and I forget that I still have 4, wow that seems like a long time, but it's going by and he will be here soon enough and then I'll wonder what have we done!?!?!? (I think I'm writing so much cause I feel like I'm talking to someone that isn't under the age of 4 and that can relate to me in someway or another, like an adult, I need to get out more!!) Ya those are just side notes. But I think for the night/morning I'm going to head off to the couch or bed or somewhere and try to sleep and hope my nose will stop draining, and let me breath again. Thanks for listening, or reading.

Something Blue ....

Well I've told myself I need to get better at this so here is some news.

First off....

We found out what we are having...... A BOY!!!! Oh man I'm so excited to start shopping for boy's stuff! And Brandon is so excited to not be the ONLY guy in the family now! So we have two names that we both like and we've decided that we are going to have to look at him when he is born to name him cause .... really I just can't decide on what one I want first!!! Ha ha ha.

And we are now in the process of moving our office out of that room and into the dinning room to make my first nursery! That is what happens when we lived with my parents for the first two!! This means I get to do what I want to it!! Love it! And now deciding what decorations to do and colors, lots to think about and do. Good thing I have till June/July!! I'm starting to show now, which is never fun, cause you start to feel fat. And no girl likes that feeling, no matter what the cool things await. And it's that inbetween stage too where you look at me going .. Um is she getting fat or pregers? I'm hoping to start feeling him with in the next couple of weeks. Sometimes I think I feel him but then I'm not sure if it's just stuff inside me makin room. Oh the joys of bringing something super cute and awesome into this world!!!

Second.... they redid our Young Womans Presidency and I went from being the Laurel advisor to the 2nd Counslor! And it's so fun, I'm so excited I'm still in but I miss the last Presidency too! They sure helped me in lots of areas in my life. But it's really fun to get to know the new ones and to get to work with the Beehives. I still get really nervous when I think about having to teach cause I think, I'm not that good! But it will all come together! I'm hoping I get to make it to girls camp too! That is my most favorit part of Young Womens but ... with baby on the way we will have to see.

Third we are going to be heading to North Carolina this summer to celebrate my Grandparents 65th Wedding Anniversary. And that is at the end of July so we get to take the new babe with us too! I'm super excited!

So those are just some of the things that are going on and we can't wait to hold this new baby in our arms!

When you pee on a stick .....

So when we, well I, peed on the stick I got this out come!!!





And this is what the doctor showed us .....





So this means that little Manscill will be here, July 15, 2010. But the Doctor said the baby was so small that by our next appointment he will know forsure the due date. So we are really excited and I've had morning sickness, well this may be too much TMI but i guess it's something that isn't really talked about when prego so it freaked me out so I'm talking about it! But my morning sickness wasn't throwing up it was sittin on the toliet wishing I was dead, really it sucked. Until I looked it up online and found out lots of woman have that problem. So I have been on the B.R.A.T(Bananas, Rice, Applesauce,Toast) diet, kind of sucks but it works. And I get really sick at night and in the morning, and since I haven't had any of these problems when I was prego with the girls we are PRAYING this means it's a boy! So pray with us! I so need some blue and trucks in my house!!! But I can't wait! This puts a bit of a kink in some of our summer plans but oh well. I can't wait! And Brandon is really excited too, he told me he didn't mind if it was another girl!! He's crazy, plus he's not home with them like I am!! So the journey begins .... for the 3rd time!!! Ahhh I'm gonna be a momma again!! Wow 1 more and I think we will be done!! But only time will tell! For now this is it! Keep ya up to date!

Such a big girl

Well I never thought the day would come that my biggest baby would be going to school.... pre school that is. And it's not like it's every day it's just Tuesdays and Thursdays but still it's weird to think that she will be turning 4 in April!!! But the good news ..... SHE LOVES IT!!!!! I'm so excited for her, she is making friends and doing all kinds of fun things and comes home with her cute papers that they did in class that day I love it! Like on A day she had to bring an Apple and on B day they brought bears and had a teddy bear picnic! So cute. But not only did my girl start pre school but she also started dance! Oh my goodness she is so funny in this class, we still have our hard moments with her not being happy but for the most part she does a great job, she does tap and ballet and tumbing all within 45 mins! Amazing! But it's scary how fast the time goes! Cause in 2 years she will be a big KINDERGARDNER!!!! Ahhhhh! I think I'll be ok with it but her Daddy well he had a hard time saying his byes to her at school, he's a real softy under it all. But it's so cute I love it! And I'm so excited for her, she is getting to do something different and it sure has put the rest of us on a routine too! Getting up early is still hard, haven't had to do it since I was working early mornings at the mall! Weird! But it's nice to have just me and Taylor time too! And so nice to just take one kid to the store! Wow talk about getting done fast and easy! So here are some pictures of our fun days!
