Surprise!!!

Well after approximately 100 injections, 300 pills, 30 ultrasounds, 1 trial transfer, 1 egg retrieval, 2 embryo transfers, 70 blood tests and multiply trips to the Dr's office I AM PREGNANT!! And the even bigger news is that I am having TWINS!!!!!! Yes, i know what you are saying, "you didn't want twins?" Well at first I didn't and I do have my very nervous moments, but I am glad it has worked out this way! So the next big hurdle is keeping them inside me for longer than six months!!! Crazy! ALexis keeps lifting my shirt asking "Where are the babies?, I can't see em?

Happy Birthday to ME!

So yes today I celebrated my big 3-depressing-0! Thirty years old, something seems wrong with that. It seems just like yesterday that I felt like a hot shot because i was turning 10 and now could hold up all ten fingers!

Anyway I think that i scored big time.
First off, Jayne and Jon drove down to help celebrate, (despite gas prices)
My sis gave me a wonderful candle that smells divine.( i forget the company, but it is Tuberose)
Ma and Pa gave me money to buy the cutest purple ruffley bag that I love,
Jason did GREAT.
First off earlier this week he surprised me with the BEST watch ever that I am in love with. And he surprised me with the most gorgeous PINK CHANDELIER!!!!!!!!!!! (that his AWESOME parents went in on, THANKS KENNEDY'S!!!!!!!) The picture doesn't do it justice!! I just can't wait to see it as I drive up to my house and look through the living room window! When we bought this house i made it a point to have a special wiring done in our dining room for the "right" chandelier and I now have it!! Thanks Jason, especially because he isn't CRAZY about it. That will come in time!!

For Mother's day he spent a lot of time and effort on the cutest little painting on canvas that he placed Alexis's cute little handprints on!! I love it, especially how he repainted it 5 times to get it just PERFECT!( I will post a picture when I upload the pics) He is so cute and thoughtful!! He made me a yummy breakfast and let me pick my favorite restaurant last night. Sapporo is where we all went. (ma, pa, jayne and John)
Overall a great weekend and an even greater opportunity to celebrate my amazingly, wonderful mom on Mother's Day and my amazingly thoughtful Ma-in-law. I couldn't have two better mom's to have in my life! Love ya both tons!!

If you want to see what a charming fun, darling, girl I was growing up and still am, then read my sister's posts. Don't you wish you had me as a sister? Comment's???

The crib escaper!

JUST A MOMENT AGO, Alexis got out of her crib and said " I woke up". Then I said it was time for bed. SHe said "apple juice helps feel better".(her classic statement) AS i was ignoring her she went down stairs looking for Jason. She went to the front door with her plastic high heels and dark sunglasses and started to open the door to the pitch dark night. I said "don't you dare open that door!" There could be a mean person out there" Her reply was "look for cars both ways!" Then i went downstairs and we went outside to wait for jason and the dog. She was screaming his name loud in the nieghborhood saying " dad. dad, where are you?" When he finally got home, they went on a walk to the mailbox. We are pushovers!

I am starting to actually want to use this blog as a journal so if i start boring you with my toddler stories then lo siento!

My little lady!

Should I feel guilty if...

She VIGORIOSLY wipes off MOST of my kisses?
I am going shopping for Tobasco Sauce tomorrow for biting?
But, besides that...
She is the cutest, sweetest thing in the world right now, but she is a little defiant lately.

Her sweetest side is always saying...
"It's a beautiful day mom"
"This is delicious!"
" I am daddy's pripriss(princess), and mommy's little girah"(girl)

As of yesterday she discovered the escaping the crib thing. So bright and early at 6:30 am this morning we are awoken to " Hi Daddy, I climbed out of my crib!"
Luckily she still buys the " It is still bedtime and you have to go to back to bed in one minute".
She says okay and goes back to sleep until 8:30. Happens EVERYTIME. The funny thing is that our house is as bright as the noon day sun at 6:30 and she still buys it.

I thought she said "why" a lot two months ago. I didn't know that word would only get used more and more and more each day.

When she wants to get out of her car seat and drive while we are waiting for daddy to come back to the car she will say...
A- "I wanna drive"
Me- "No daddy will be right back"
A- "WHy?"
me- "He is pumping the gas, and he is almost done, so no."
A- (tilting her head down to negotiate) "One mo Second?"
me- "no, he is almost done."
A- "last time, last second, last more"
Me- "Look, he is done"
A- " Last time, one minute"
Dad, enter's car.
A-"Daddy, I want to drive"

When we get home he usually lets her sit on his lap and drive to the mailbox and back.
Nice Daddy!


Everyone's kid is cutest in the morning I hear. Oh boy, she is. I could eat her alive in the morning. The other day i walked in her room and her first words were "key's?" I said "the key's?" She then said " I wanna drive."

I am not sure about her obsession with driving.
Every morning we ask her what she dreamt about and without fail it is "Giraffe's" Not sure where she came up with that.

The most classic with her right now is "NO GRANDPA" As harsh and loud as she can get. He can't help but bust up. He says that she has a timer and after one hour of adorable, she starts throwing punches at him, or throwing rocks at him. She sure does love him though.
When he babysits twice a week, the first thing he does is fill her sippy cup up with loads of ice, puts applejuice in it and he holds and kisses on her for all of Dora and Blues Clues! He loves it!!

I think he was a little traumatized that I spanked her bum today. Sorry pops, but I survived it!

SHe is now saying her prayers...
THis is how it goes with lots of undetermined words in the middle..
"heavenly Father, keep mom safe, grama kennedy, fajldf;ajajs asldkjoiwe jowier w amen." It is really cute!

She is still the huggiest, kissiest girl in the world.

Everynight before bed, she MUST look out her window and yell "Goodnight Kaitlyn, goodnight Rodney, goodnight kaitlyn, goodnight Christopher, goodnight ROdney, goodnight Ann, goodnight Christopher, goodnight Kaitlyn"
They are our nighbors, and kaitlyn is her best friend!

Well, most of you probably didn't read all of this, but I have been meaning to write this down, so for journaling purposes I had to record it all.

A little confusion.

You might call these Sandals. Right?

Well in our home Alexis knows them only as Sandcastles.
