AIMS Testing

We start our State Testing tomorrow! And it goes through next week! We've had AIMS test prep Monday and Tuesday, so the kids have had math, writing and reading review and also had to practice sitting quietly at their desks. So tomorrow the actual testing starts! Hopefully they do well! (o:

Renal Ultrasound

I had my ultrasound to check my kidneys today. The tech wasn't "allowed" to comment on how they looked. But hopefully I should know tomorrow what is going on! On a fun note, the tech said she couldn't get a good picture of my kidneys because the baby kept moving around and causing "waves" so she wanted to get a look at the baby, so I got to see our Jellybean again! (o: It was moving and chillin'! I love ultrasounds! I didn't expect to see the baby today so that was fun!

200 Days?!

Wow tomorrow I'll hit the 100 days! (199) it seems just like yesterday I found I was pregnant! Only 200 more days! YEY!

Kidney Infection??

I have to have a renal ultrasound on Thursday afternoon. I MIGHT have a kidney infection! )o: What the heck?? I didn't get these random things when I was pregnant with Alex! So apparently I wont be going to California on Thursday. Disneyland sounds way more fun than worrying about a potential kidney infection! ::sigh::

Oh well, at least the baby is ok! Heard it's heart beat last week it was at 182 bpm! (o: And I even posted a cute ultrasound video for everyone to see our Jellybean wiggling around! (o: So maybe all these weird things are worth it after all!

Sonogram Video

Here is our JellyBean! It's a little long! About 4 minutes! But so worth it!!! (o: Such a cute active bebe! Alex loves watching this! He calls it his baby video!

Fig

Our baby is the size of a "fig" about 1½ inches long now. I bet it's A LOT more cute than a fig is lol

Driving

Alex got a powerwheel mustang for his borthday last year. He has been too short to reach the pedals, but he reaches fine now! (o: So David took it out of its hiding place in the garage and Little Mark and Alex had a lot of fun riding in it on Saturday before Alex's party.

Aparently Little Mark needed a little help
reaching the pedals so Alex helped
push him lol

David unplugged the battery so the boys
would go inside lol Alex said
"I think the engine is broken!" lol

He and Mark were investigating
the problem.

Oh well, if it's broke, why not just
wash it? lol

I could imagine these two in like 15 years "Come on Mom Blythe is only 2 hours away!" While Mark is telling Jenn the same thing! LOL

Alex's Birthday Party

We had Alex's 3rd Birthday Party/ BBQ on Saturday. His actual birthday was on Sunday the 15th. He had so much fun celebrating with family and friends. (o: Thank you everyone who came!!

I'll hold my Own Hand

On Saturday we took Alex to get his pictures taken, and while we waited for our pictures to be printed we walked around the Mall. Now Alex LOVES to go up and down the elevators or escalators like a MILLION times. So we had to tell him they were broken. So he was mad and we left the mall. I told him he had to hold Auntie's or Mama's hand while we walked to the car since it was a busy day at the mall and the parking lot. He REFUSED! (Remember he was already mad at the whole "broken" elevators / escalators shenanigains!)

Me- Alex, you need to hold either Mama or Auntie's hands. There are too many cars around!
Alex- No!
Me- Alex it's NOT an option! Hold someones hand right now!
Alex- I want to walk by myself!
Me- You cant! Hold someones hand right now! 1...2... (Usually when we get to 2 he does what we want, I dont know what I'll do after 3, but apparently he doesn't want to find out anyways lol)
Alex- I'll hold my own hand MAMA!!!!!!!

And this is what he did! LOL


So he was walking to the car holding his own hands! LOL I guess I should have been more specific when I said he had to hold someones hands! LOL I couldn't help but crack up at my smartie pants! lol

Tired

I need a maid! )o: My house is seriously a disaster! This weekend is Alex's birthday, and we have family coming over and I hate having my house look like a pig sty when people come over! Thankfully I have Frday off work, so I can spend that day cleaning! I also have to do soooo much laundry (Have I ever mentioned how much I hate doing laundry?!?), I was almost tempted to buy us all new clothes for the week so I could get out of doing laundry for another week! LOL How lame is that?! LOL Oh well! I'll start it today so we can have nice and clean clothes lol Lucky David and Alex don't care what they wear so they are easy to do laundry for lol I on the other had have a bunch of clothes that doesn't fit properly anymore! Oh well! I guess I HAVE to buy me some clothes lol haha! Anyway if anyone wants to get me the most awesome gift ever, you can get me a maid for a day! Seriously!!!!!!! lol

Swing Set

We got Alex a Swing Set for his 3rd birthday! He loves going to the park, and would be there ALL day if you let him! Since we can't take him to the park ALL day this is the next best thing!! When he came out and saw my Dad, David and Mario putting it together he got this HUGE smile on his face and said "Are you building me a park?!?" lol How cute is that?? Well he loves this thing! He is too small for the regular swing, so we had his infant swing thing and it works best for him for right now! (o: I love that he is excited over it!!!
