Stagecoach Baby!!!!

Can I please share with you just how excited I am!!!! You have no idea! None what's so ever:) This is my event, mine mine mine. (ok I sound like Stingey on one of Amelia's shows on TV) Anyway, I FINALLY made it to the mall tonight. I have been trying to get there for about a week now. Me being the strange woman that I am have always had to have a new shirt for special events. It used to be getting a pedicure, but that's too much to ask for having a baby'n all:) I got my wife beater tank tops. I know that sounds bad, but that's the redneck way of calling them. Just a plain ribbed tank:) It's new!!! That makes me happy. I'll be wearing them with my cross stone belt buckle and flip flops! I'm so sad I'm leaving my baby girl, because I know she would LOVE going. Next year baby! Since we'll have two little rascals might as well! It'll be a family event! I'm so excited though. Especially since my sexy hairy hubby is going! It'll be fun...the 6 of us, country music and dirt! Lots of dirt! Oh and flies....lots of flies Cliff! Better bring a swatter. xoxox. Straty is shopping at the store right now. I have to take the trailer back to the shop. Water pump ain't pump'n. I still have lots to do, but will be fine if I don't get to it:) "IT Happens" by Sugarland!!! Ali I will miss you, you snuggle better then Straty:) xoxox. Oh did I mention we went for an Ultrasound today? Yep, we're 12 weeks pregnant. Baby Hadj II is doing very good! He/She is almost 3" long. Crazy I tell ya! The lady gave her perdiction, thinking we wanted to know the sex. Due to the heart rate, she declares a............................ girl:) Of course that's a wives tale. I think we were all talking ourselves into it being a wives tell. When she first said it, my heart dropped knowing we wanted to be surprised and somewhat relieved that we knew, but then she put out the disclaimer about the wives tale and that you really can't tell the sex until week 16. Whatever...we will know in November. I also can provide two witnesses that my doctor said the past week or so till the next two weeks I will be at my peek for hormones! And expects me to get sleep again soon and the dreams will go away! Lord I hope so. Bed at 3am with dreams of fancy malls, shoes, aqua swimming, cruises, early delivery and way much more that I couldn't tell you!!! I think my Dr. would have loved the details! Sugarland just came on the radio, must go dance.............ain't no rhyme or reason.....let go laughing....life don't go quite like we planned it....we try so hard to understand it....indisputable....fact is.....IT happens....sorry I'm singing....did I tell you how excited I am to go be with country folk? Oh back to baby...Yeah, so who knows what we're having. One of my old bosses Heather is 15 weeks! Congrats girl! We were pregnant last time. She was one of the beautiful women who rubbed off on me. xoxox. Oh another funny. I thought I'd be slick on facebook and hide out, but I was wrong. My high school sweetheart found me. I was going through my emails and saw facebook stuff and then saw his name. I panicked at first but then read his message. I told Straty he showed up but I wasn't going to respond. I really wanted my past to stay my past, but he gave me a good talk. So I accepted the friendship. I'm thankful I did. FA is a dad to a 10 month old boy, living in SD. He lost his dad to cancer Dec 08. Great man, if you knew what he suffered for his family...amazing. (That was an update for those who remember those 6 years:) Thanks babe for talking me into it and for listening. Now I'm going to touch base with a few past skeletons that I've ran into living in HB. Oh dear.... Brad is on the radio "She's Everything!" I'm going to cry and cry when he sings this song. My hotty next to me. It's my ringer for Straty. I danced to this song after "Stupid Boy" right before Amelia entered d'belly:) Doesn't every woman wish her man would write a song like that? I do. Thanks babe for paying Brad to write one for you for me:) xoxoxo.. So I'm procrastinating...I have laundry, cleaning and packing to do! I'm just so darn excited I can't handle it! Now Kenny Chesney is on the radio...."Better as a Memory." I see him Sunday!!!!! I danced to this song too. I hope you don't get tired of knowing my dance songs. Those who relate to music as I do, will kinda know where my emotions might be at that moment. This was before my "Like A Woman" dance:) Ruh....Roh....the hubby is home. All I've managed to do is facebook, email, dance, sing and finish a Chocolate milkshake from IN n OUT. (It wasn't brownies though McKown, but it was good) I'm a Bad girl. I better go do something. Maybe look up iTunes for my song for tomorrow night:)

Umm Dauddeeeee, do you see something wrong with this photo?

We are blessed...our backyard

We are so lucky to be living where we do. I love being able to walk out of my house and in minutes we're in such beauty. The flowers on the hill are in full bloom. We enjoyed our walk. It was pretty HOT though! The dogs passed out when we got home, as well as Amelia. She's so funny how she dislikes to have her hands and feet dirty. She woke up from her nap a little crazy looking. She's now standing up in the crib, for Lord knows how long. She's so quite I have no idea how long she's up before yelling out "DAH."

Miss 15 Month old...

decides to turn 15 months with a bust. She decided to bust out all of her molers yesterday. She came down with a fever and runny nose, but seemed just fine. So I did a mouth search and slid my fingers across four big ones. I can't believe she's not going bonkers. I would be! She had her 15 month check up today. She got a shot. She actually stopped dead in her shoes as soon as we got off the elevator. She knew! Her doctor has asked us to see an eye doctor on her right eye. He doesn't think it's lined up very well with the other one, or it could be the bridge between her eyes that make it look that way. I don't see it but we're going to have it checked out. As for baby #2, I sometimes forget I'm pregnant. Besides the pure exhaustion some days and some minor moode swings, tugging pain in my belly and the sleepless nights with INSANE dreams. I'm not going on a cruise with my family or taking any aqua aerobics classes! :) I'm feel'n okay. I am not looking forward to growing a belly though. I'm so over changing clothing sizes. I am down sizing my clothes! I am not getting rid of my favorite jeans though. I worked to darn hard to get into those things for just a few months:) I don't want to go back to my bad ways after Hadj II. I'm still craving raspberries and other fruits, as well as red meat. No mexican please!!!!! Oh and the color on the walls in my house is making my skin crawl! If I could throw out some furniture I would too! Since my body is not "in order," I'm looking for other ways:)

More Vegas...

The bad thing about having two cameras, is I forget to download the other camera sometime...

Silly Girl

Amelia is for certain getting more personality each day! She loves to stand up in her stroller. Last week we went to the mall and she'd stand up and yell at the shoppers in the isle! It startled them and had me in tears laughing. I wish I had a video camera! Grandma took Amelia shoe shopping, aren't they cute. Oh and on our way to Las Vegas, Amelia had a bad hair day:)

Two peas in a pod...

It was so precious...I left Amelia standing on her own to sit in front of her to try to get her to walk. As soon as I walked away from her, Miller walked up and sat next to her, as if he was saying in his deep Eroy kinda voice "Don't worry sissy, I'm here for you." She grabbed onto to the top of his head until her little legs gave in and she plopped down onto the floor. Then Miller laid his head across Amelia's lap. Two peas in a pod!

A year ago today...

Time flies! Please keep our Miller Lite in your doggie prayers. He's not feeling too good with shivers. Him and Hazel rough housed really hard last night and we think he hurt his leg. We're hoping it'll pass by tomorrow. You know those Dr. bills! You can't leave w/o paying a couple hundred! It breaks my heart to see him this way.

What a beautiful Day.

I was a bit emotional today. First and foremost for my heavenly Father giving his son to die for my sins, for me? How can that be? I can't even imagine his love and his pain. The overwhelming love for us and how his heart must break for those who don't call him Father, who don't recognize his love, who don't accept him. I can't imagine life without his unconditional love. "Open the Eyes to my Heart Lord, I want to see you...I want to see you."

Last night I was putting together Amelia's Easter basket, and I just couldn't believe my life. I am so fortunate to have such an incredible little girl and another child on the way, a loving husband, such a supportive and incredible family and for the things the Lord gives, like our home, our cars and my hubby's job. Thank You Jesus. I couldn't believe that one day I'd be making an Easter basket for my very own child. This morning as Amelia played with her basket I was taken back to my Grandma and Grandpa's house where all the grandkids would hunt for easter eggs, in hope to find the egg with the quarter in it! The smell of Kraft mftg, along with the beautiful scent of the huge lilac bushes behind their house. Kids running around along the rock covered driveway and in the backyard. How much fun we had with family. Now we are in a different phase of our lives where we are the parents and mom and dad are the grandparents. We headed over to mom and dad's today and they of course hid eggs full of "YUM" as Amelia would say. She got the hang of the easter egg hunt. After finding all the eggs, which she really did look for and find, she decided to put some of them back and then get them again. After the Easter Egg hunt, there was a butterfly hunt. There were butterfly stickers placed along the walls, leading Amelia to her Easter basket. We all got one! Thanks mom and dad!

We worked up an appetite with all the hunting and croquet playing! The food was D'Lish! Dad was wicked at croquet! Missy won the Easter Egg competition. She even beat Baby power Egg, Amelia! Congrats Missy! Amelia stood on her own for over 2 minutes! She kept Auntie M and Grandma mov'n. I could go on! What a day. I just can't believe how so fortunate we are. To be able to freely celebrate Christ, to be with our growing family and to be surrounded with such love.
