Toothless girl

Well it finally happened! Mackenzie lost her very 1st tooth today! The funny thing is, it was a different tooth than the 1st one that was loose. Just today she realized it was loose, and a few hours later it popped right out! There were a few tears of fear that came along with the excitement, but overall it has been fun. She loves to look at herself in the mirror. And is excited for the tooth fairy to come. I would have taken a picture, but Justin is on a 5 day fishing trip and he has the camera with him! But not to fear, you know I will be posting some later!

surprise!

So since half of you already know, I thought it was time to announce that I am in fact prego! I am about 7 weeks along (only). I wasn't going to tell so soon this time around, but the word got out (by my fault) and then I had to start telling the fam, and so on and so forth. So, there is my news for ya'll. Don't be offended if I didn't call you personally and tell you, I just can't do that, too many people! I usually don't take more than 2 tests, but I didn't trust the stinkin plus signs, cause they were kind of iffy, so I opted to take one that reads it instead! I recommend the word one's for sure, so much more reassuring! I am feeling okay, not wonderful, but not horrible. I have my moments when I am feeling a barf coming my way, but I can make it go away by just taking a sip of water. I haven't been to the doc yet, and I am very nervous to see if there is one baby or two....thanks to my wonderful family who is blessed with doubles...I tend to be extremely worried until I get my first ultrasound. Everyone pray for just one baby please!!!! There are days when I think am I ready or another one??? Too late now to worry about that I guess!

Mackenzie and Gavin 2008

We went and had pictures taken the other day. Gavin was not about to smile in his own pictures by himself, we were lucky to get a smile out of him at all that day! But this one of him with the baseball stuff is perfect for him, and it is still cute. Luckily he smiled for one with him and Mackenzie, otherwise I would have freaked out! He smiles so cute at home for me, and then when I want a "professional" picture, he won't.....whatever. Mackenzie was the same way, until she turned 4 I think, so we have a few more years with non smiling pictures with Gavin to come! Not the best quality, I had to take a picture of the picture, I don't have a scanner, so sorry for the poor quailty.

Our weekend getaway

This weekend we went to Paul for Justin's nephew's reception. The kids had so much fun getting to play with their cousins nonstop for quite a few hours! Its always fun to spend time with family, and the reception turned out very beautiful. The weather could have been better, it was ever so windy outside, we about blew away! I don't miss the Twin Falls wind one bit! We got to stay in a hotel, which was the kids' first time ever. Gavin wasn't so sure about it, he kept pointing to the door and said "go". Mackenzie on the other hand was quite impressed, there was a pool (didn't get any pic's of that oops) and she thought that was the best thing ever! Here is a picture of Gavin squeezing his way into her sleeping bag, and she wasn't that excited about it.

It was a good trip, a little tiring, but there is no such thing as an easy trip, no matter how short of a drive, when you have kids!
