More Family Time

We took a family nap yesterday and it was everything I thought it would be :) We're kinda groggy in the picture because we just woke up. I got up first and there were my sleeping boys next to me... who do look like twins haha. We spent a lot of time cuddling and tickling and being happy. It's nice to have someone else around for Noah to attack with hugs and kisses and love chokes hahaha. Anytime Josh and I kiss Noah comes running and says "HUG!" and grabs both our legs. He got a little jealous today so I had to have a few minutes of just Noah and Mommy, but he's been really happy hanging out all together for the most part.

Josh bought Noah some stuff from Toys R Us the other day since he wasn't here for his birthday. He got a Cars papa sans chair and a microwave with a timer and a little turntable in it. Noah looks like such a grown up sitting in his chair. He makes all these funny "big kid" faces and crosses his legs. He was sitting in his chair in front of Daddy's chair. He even wanted to cover his legs up with a blanket. He's so funny sometimes. Josh and I had a big laugh when he said "no more chips, Mommy" about 10 times really clear. I couldn't stop laughing.... it was just hilarious to see his face and his little wagging finger. Josh told him no more chips and he felt the need to pass the word on to me, I guess :)

I'm trying not to get my hopes up, but I believe I've started some inactive labor. I'm effacing (I know, gross, but I am so get over it lol) but I don't have a Dr. Appt. until Friday so I don't know how much or anything. My Braxton Hicks are way more painful and radiating to my back. We're going out to the mall to walk around and buy a few last minute things. I've got everything charging up and I have my lists all written out. I still am saying tomorrow or Friday. I'll let you all know. I am ready for baby now. Before I wasn't, but now I think I feel ready to have a newborn around. Josh and I got some alone time, Noah and Josh got some alone time... time for BABY TIME! And time for walkies!! :)

I love all the FAMILY pictures!!!
Wow,Josh & Noah really do look like twins!!!!I always thought how much he looks like you but when they are right next to each other you can see he looks so much like his Daddy too.I bet he loves that :)
Maybe I don't want to know but how do you know you are effacing without going to the Dr yet...hehe...um did you loose your plug or something.Sorry to ost this but after having two babies,I really have no shame,hahaha.
I forget but I thought my guess was that you would have baby today... I guess I was wrong :(Maybe t/m!!I think you should just pretend like you don't care and take a nice long walk then maybe he or she will decide to come!
Noah's life is about to change!He is just going to looove having a play mate around.Ava still gets really upset if I bring her downstairs and Ember isn't here(when she is sleeping)She says "Oh no!Baby where are you...Ember?"
I am sending you tons of **~Labor vibes~***(that's what they do on Baby zone.com :)

You got some great pictures. What fun this all must be. I am sure you will appreciate each other so much more considering all you've been through. You have a beautiful family and I can't wait to see the newest little one. I am sure you can't either.

Still Happy!! HOORAY!!

Image
We're still going strong with our happiness levels out here. Yesterday was a little bit rough because Tristan was especially whiney, but today was amazing :) We got our grocery shopping done and even managed to have fun doing that! Noah and I were singing Christmas songs already while Tris and Bren laughed at us. Tristan sometimes piped in with a "all the way" when we were singing Jingle Bells. Noah was cracking up when I sang him the Batman version :D After all that excitement the 2 wee ones went down for their naps and Noah and I gave Bosley a bath with his new tea extract shampoo. He looks and smells so wonderful now :) He was in such a good mood after that too! Noah made a concoction of plum leaves, olives, dirt, and paper which he called "olive a cado". While he was doing his own grocery shopping I was taking some macro shots with my new focus point knowledge. I'm very happy. I thought I loved my camera before! Anyway... We also built a littl...

Almost Doesn't Count

Image
We almost ended up with a puppy today. An adorable baby Jack Russell Terrier mix wandered into our yard. He was very sweet, laid back, flea-ridden, dirty, cute, a little broken, good temperament, un-fixed, and very very good with Noah and Emma. I asked the neighbors about him and they showed me where the owner lived. She took him inside and told me how he's driving her crazy because he chews through collars and gets out of the yard (which is because he's a puppy and not an outside breed). She mentioned possibly getting rid of him. Lo and behold he wandered back into our yard not too long after that... interesting. I wanted to adopt him because he was unwanted, but shouldn't have been. He was a very sweet dog. I would have called him Jackie I think :) This brings me to a rant. I know I've posted about the way people around here treat their pets. This is a perfect example. This lady didn't want the puppy anymore so she simply let it go. No collar, no tags...

Our 4th Anniversary

Image
Since we hardly ever see each other, when we finally do it's always some kind of celebration. This time we're celebrating our 4th anniversary so we're going to do a whole weekend. This is where we'll be spending our weekend alone :) It's the perfect place to get away from everyone and just be together. We don't even have to find someplace to cook! Even though the full kitchen looks more like a stove and a sink and no counter space. We'll make do. We're bringing a lot of games, some food, and ourselves. We might also bring along our fishing gear. We've already decided the TV is not going to be turned on (unless the Daily Show is on because we really miss Jon Stewart). Most likely we just won't turn it on. There are places to hike and the cabins are right next to the river. We've gotten so much rain lately it's probably pretty full. I'm very excited! I haven't been away from Noah for more than a day since he was born....
