Jake and Jenn's Visit - Part 2

While they were down we went down to the coast for a little miny vacation. First we stopped at Kemah Boardwalk to walk around and have dinner. We wanted to ride some of the rides, but it was so busy, we decided not to and drove down to Galveston. We stayed the night at a hotel and the next morning we went to the Moody Garden's Aquarium. We love Moody Gardens and the aquarium is one of the best around. After that we decided to drive to the Houston Space Center. We haven't been there since Tucker was a baby, so it was a blast. They were doing a tribute to George Lucas, so there was a ton of stuff from his movies. The boys were in heaven (they are on a huge StarWars kick right now). Then there was this movie from the '80 called Tucker: The Man and His Dream (which I had no idea about) and they had tons of "Tucker" stuff. Tuck thought it was so cool and asked if he could buy the car because he wanted it because it had his name on it! It was a lot of fun walking around there and seeing everything. We need to go when it's not so hot out so we can take the tram tours out on to the actual NASA training grounds...but I am not sitting out in the heat right now. We all had a fun time and everyone was wore out at the end of the day!!! I love having family to do stuff with!

Jake and Jenn's Visit

Back in May(that is how far behind I am) Jake, Jenn, Kaedie, and Braeden came down to visit so Jake could look into jobs down here and we had a blast. Vinny was home this time, so we were busy! As always we love spending time with them and the kids got along so well. Tucker was even interested in playing with Kaedance this time...she is getting so big and I don't think he sees her as a baby anymore (because she definately isn't!) I love having them here and maybe in the future they will be living here...

Here I am again...

So here I am again so far behind on posting things on here and I don't even know where I should start...I have to look through my camera and figure things out...

Here is a cute picture of Tuck from awhile back...he cracks me up.

New Pictures of the boys...

So I don't have much time...mostly because I am completely exhausted and I am ready for bed already...but I wanted to post the link to see a few new pictures of the boys a mommy from our playgroup took of the boys...I need a few more comments to get a free matted picture of them...so please comment! The pictures turned out great!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TREY

Today Trey is 3 years old!!! I can't believe it and he thinks it is cool to be 3. I called him my baby this morning and he said he is not a baby he is 3 a big boy!! It was cute.

We are holding off his party until after my mom gets here, so today the plan was to bring cupcakes to school, but that is obviously out of the question, so I don't know what we are going to do today to make it special for him...I will figure something out!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TREY!!!

What a day........already........

So today is my second day of work and where am I.....at home......why because Tucker puked his guts out this morning....So we are stuck at home....which might be a blessing in disguise because yesterday I got absolutely nothing done and my mom will be here Sunday morning.....but now an hour and a half after Tucker threw up he is acting completly normal and keeps asking when we are going to school and I keep telling him, you can't go to school if you threw up...I have a feeling it is going to be a VERY long day....

I'm a working woman!

So I am really jumping around here, but I am officially a working woman!!! Back in April, while spending the day at Tucker's preschool, they offered me a job for the summer because one of the regular teachers isn't able to work during the summer. I was pretty excited about them asking so of course I said I would do it. So I have been busy since then getting all the necessary things done to work at a preschool..which is quite a bit of stuff..but it is all done, and today was my official 1st day of work. I works out perfectly, I get to work, but still spend everyday with the boys..Trey is also going to school there this summer. I am hoping that this gives Trey a smoother transition to me leaving him there this fall because he is not a fan of me leaving him anywhere. It's only part time, Wednesdays and Fridays from 9-1, so it's a great place to spend a couple of days a week.

It was a good day overall. Tucker was a big helper, showing his brother the ropes of their daily activities and Trey didn't cry at all today (he almost cried once when they were singing their welcome song, which focuses on each child separately, and he did not like being singled out on his first day) But He seemed to have fun and didn't even eat lunch next to me..he ate next to one of the other teachers!

It looks like it is going to be one fun summer!!!

A tad bit obsessed

Tucker LOVES fishing....it is by far his favorite thing to do. We have been so busy we haven't gotten to go for a while, but Tucker always finds some way to keep his skills sharp! I took this picture in the middle of May (that is how far behind I am)..can you see his little fishing pole resting on the pool between his legs? He sat out there for about 45 minutes "fishing."

Sometimes life just happens...

I guess I should really start off with our biggest news...I am as of yesterday 16 weeks pregnant! Vinny and I both wanted more kids, but we didn't exactly plan it for it to happen right now, but let's face it, when have our lives together ever gone the way we planned it...NEVER...seriously it never has. However, life, no matter what twists and turns have come up, has treated us very, very well, we are happy and healthy and living a very comfortable life. God really has blessed our family. So with that being said, we are pretty at ease and very excited about baby #3.

I really can't wait!! Vinny is hoping for another boy..he only wants boys, but I am really REALLY hoping for a girl. This we will find out on July 2nd, only a month to go!!! I am feeling pretty good, just very tired. I have a little belly going on, but I haven't really gained too much weight(with both boys I gained a TON of weight, so I am hoping that doesn't happen this time). The boys are both really excited and keep going back and forth whether they want a brother or a sister. Tucker said the funniest thing to me after I came back from my first appointment. He asked "where is the baby?" and I said "Still in my belly, they baby has to stay in there for a long time and my belly has to be really big before the baby can come out" He replies "oh ya, when I was a baby in your belly, your belly WAS HUGE!"....I don't think I will ever will forget that, he was so serious about our whole conversation! I just love that the boys are excited and understand (for the most part) what is going on..Tucker was so little when I had Trey he had no clue what was happening. I know they will be great big brothers!!!

So I will definitely keep everyone up to date on things...and think pink thought for me :D


Here is a picture Jenn took of me..I was almost 15 weeks...and I didn't know she was taking my picture...(oh and why Jenn was here is a story for another post :)

How can it be June already???

I mean seriously where did the rest of May go???????? I really can't believe it is already June..it feels like it weather wise, but other than that it really can't be June can it?.........but I guess it is.....

We have been so busy and so much has happened, I don't even know where to start....I can't remember...these last few weeks have been such a blur...I need my calender and my camera to remind me.

My mom will be here on Sunday, so that means I only have 3 days (and what is left of today) to catch up on here before we are busy again..not that I'm not busy right now...we have numerous things going on each day until she gets here....

So I guess it is off my camera and my calender and get to updating the blog.
