Update

Well, I haven't written in a while.  Mainly because of the holidays and having family in town.  Christmas was great.  The kids had a blast.  This age is so fun, you know, when they still believe in Santa.  They were so excited Christmas eve and went to bed very nicely (I thought it was going to be a little difficult).  Rylee woke up first Chirstmas morning and when she came in the living room and saw that Santa had come, she was so excited and woke up Blake and Jada.  They had a blast opening their presents, then we made breakfast and got ready to spend time with family doing our traditional Bingo game.

New Year's eve we took the kids to dinner and a movie.  We went and saw Bedtime Stories.  We loved it.  It was really cute.  Cuter than I would have imagined.  New Years day I took down all the Christmas decorations and tree.  I was in pain the rest of the day.  SOmething about this baby makes me ache in places I really shouldn't talk about :)  Let's just say I have a lot of pelvic pain, to the point that it hurts just to stand or walk.  12 more weeks to go!!!  I hope I can make it. 

We bought a van on Wednesday.  We wanted to buy more of an SUV type car(especially because of the weather) but we have a budget and couldn't get the price where we needed it.  So we walked away.  We went over our options, and decided to look at mini vans.   You see, In a few more weeks we will be having  a new addition to our family.  Before purchasing, we went out to our little rondo and put the kids' booster seats in and then put the baby carseat in. Then we tried buckling all of them.  This was without the kids in the carseats and it was hard to do.  I think it would have been even more difficult with everyone in them.  Every time we would have to go somewhere it would have been miserable and it would probably take us 10 minutes just to load everyone.  So anyways, we opted on a car with more space that was in our price range.  As my neice Amanada put it, "we have now joined the Loser Cruiser club."  The kids love it though.  It is red, so of course they call it Lightening McQueen.  I like it a lot too.  I feel content knowing that our family will all fit.  Plus we have room for family when they come and visit.  

Anyways, so there is a little update on the major things that have happened the last two weeks.
