Wiggles!

Lately, Paige's favorite thing to do is watch the Wiggles. I don't know what it is about these guys but all my kids have loved them at this age. Paige will watch them all day long. We usually put it on downstairs so we don't have to listen to it (it gets old real fast!) She somehow got the VCR to auto repeat so it rewinds then starts over. I can't figure out how to get it off now! She calls it "my show" or "Yummy Yummy" (after one of the songs on there). She's always saying "my show" so that we'll put it on for her. Most of the time she doesn't move until it's over. It's nuts!

For those of you wondering my due date is October 11. It's farther away than I was expecting but hopefully it will end up being earlier (just not too early). I have to say I was not ready for the morning sickness. I will be so glad when it's over!

SURPRISE!

For those of you that don't know, we are expecting again! It was a big surprise! We wanted to be done and did something more permanent. A few days after the big day we found I was pregnant. Apparently, we were supposed to have another one. We had to use fertility on the first three so this was a big change. We are excited and would like another girl to go with Paige, but as long as it's healthy we don't care what it is. The kids are excited too. The first couple of days Blake kept saying "I can't believe we're having another baby!" We kept thinking the same thing. I'm guessing it will be due at the end of September but will find out for sure when I go to the doctor.

It's been a while since I've written so hopefully I'll be able to remember what's happened. Christmas was the usual crazy holiday but was a lot of fun. The kids got too many toys (as usual) but they were good ones. Blake's favorite was, of course, his Nintendo DS. (Justin and I even like to play a little bit.) All the kids enjoy Rock Band, even Paige. Christmas break was fun but I have to admit I was glad when school started again. Cody is a Sunbeam in Primary this year and I'm having a hard time getting him to go. He did go last week and said he wanted to go again and now he's 4 he thinks he's old enough to go. Paige will go into the nursery next month!! I sure hope she will go! Her favorite pasttime right now is bugging Cody. Whenever he turns the Wii on she has to stand in front of the tv (every time). Then he yells (which is what she wants). Cody had his 4th birthday on Wednesday. Justin told him the night before that when he woke up he would be 4. He had the hardest time going to sleep because he was so excited. When I woke him up the next morning and sang Happy Birthday to him he couldn't stop smiling. All day he asked if he was 4 now. We took cookies into preschool and they sang to him there twice. He loved it. He got lots of good stuff for his birthday thanks to Grandma Peggy and Grandpa and Grandma Crick! Thank You! Last of all Blake lost another front tooth. If he looses anymore he won't be able to eat!

Christmas is coming so fast! We're almost ready (I think). I guess it will come whether we are or not. The kids are ready for sure. Blake counts down the days every day. I'm glad it keeps snowing, it makes it seem more like Christmas.

Craziness!

I'm a little behind on writing on here. Hopefully, I'll be able to remember what we've been doing. First, Thanksgiving was really nice. It was too bad Justin had to work, he wasn't able to come to Springerville with us. Then, Paige got sick again and we have to have tubes put back in her ears. We go back to the ENT on Monday the 15th. We'll see when he can get her in for the surgery. Blake gave his first talk in Primary on Sunday. Four years in there and he's never been asked to give one, unless he has and hasn't told me about it. He did really good. I was impressed. I wish I could say the same for Cody. He's a handful in church.

We put up our Christmas trees on Sunday. The boys have their own. They were really excited to decorate it. They are ready for Santa to come, though Blake is more excited for his Nintendo DS that we got him. He helped pay for some of it but he has to wait. We'll be lucky if we get lights on our house this year. It seems like we're a little behind on everything this year.

The kids were really excited about the snow on Tuesday. And they were really excited that there wasn't school and I ended up babysitting a 6 year old girl. Needless to say, it was a long day. But the kids had fun playing in the snow. Then on Wednesday night Cody had a little preschool program. It was really cute. He did a really good job. I'm always impressed when actually gets up there and sings and does the actions. He had been practicing the songs for a few weeks. He is our little singer. His teacher told me he's a good singer in preschool too.
