The Peacemaker

Sorry I have not put up Easter yet. I have pictures but it is like my camera weighs a thousand pounds or something because it can not make it upstairs to the computer!

On Sunday morning I was sitting on the bed finishing up my primary lesson and Dave had just gotten out of the shower. Andrew was across the hall in the toy room playing. Dave comes into the bedroom and jokingly threatens to jump into my side of the bed soaking wet! Now all who know me know I have a weird love for my bed. It has to be perfectly made and I can never switch sides with Dave. So in response to his threat I yelped "NO!!!" Andrew comes across the hall into the bedroom and before he even makes it into the room I can hear him say "Don't fight" We both quickly apologized for fighting! It is nothing like a two year old to remind you to keep the peace!

A Prediction

So I found this website on babycenter.com. I thought I would test it out because unlike with Andrew I have no idea if this baby is a girl or boy. Here is the sight if you want to try it out...

Here is the predicition for my child...

The day you deliver, outside will be hot. Your baby will arrive in the early evening. After a labor lasting approximately 12 hours, your child, a boy, will be born. Your baby will weigh about 8 pounds, 8 ounces, and will be 16 inches long. This child will have medium brown eyes and a little patch of auburn hair.

I think it could be right, all except for the brown eyes. Not that I guess it is entirely impossible but both Dave and I have blue!

A Pretty Good Excuse

So I know I have been absent for quite some time but I believe that I have a fairly good excuse...

this little peanut combined with...

a full of energy two year old makes me very, very tired. Lets just say anytime I have a free moment is dedicated to sleep. I am know 13 weeks and finally feeling more normal. I haven't had a super hard time but it has been different and harder than when I was pregnant with Andrew. We are due September 25. Everyone is super excited, espescially Andrew (since he really has no idea what is going on.) But he likes going to the doctor and hearing the baby's heartbeat. He says it goes "bump, bump, bump!"

Andrew's Birthday Celebration!

I know, it is a week late but here it is...


On Friday night we took money received from Great Grandma Higginbotham and went bowling. We have taken Andrew before but he enjoyed it a lot better this time and wanted every turn to be his. Because he is the first child we practically let it be his turn the whole time!



On Saturday morning we let him open his presents first thing. We gave him a hooded towel that I made, a golf set and some books. After breakfast we took him took Chuck E. Cheese and after his nap we went to McDonalds and Walmart where he got to pick out a new toy from Grandma Jana and Grandpa Robert. He picked a Tonka car garage, which he loves.


On Sunday evening we held a little cookie party for Andrew. I had my two sisters come over with there families and eat cookies and ice cream. You can see my handy craftsmanship on the hat I made for Andrew. Right before my sisters came over Andrew talked about how he was going to blow out the candles and were a hat! I guess a birthday hat is a must for him.

Guess who is 2!!

Andrew turns two today. I would say I can't believe he is so big but I have thought about it a lot lately and it really has felt like two years. He is my little man!

We took him to the doctor yesterday and here are his stats.
Weight 25 lbs 6 oz.
Height 35 in.

So that makes 25% in weight and 75% in height. Definitly tall and skinny. I will keep you updated on the fun weekend we are having. (We aren't having an official birthday party with everyone so he gets a whole weekend of activities for his birthday!)

Christmas

Sorry it has taken so long to post some Christmas pictures. The Monday before Christmas I woke up with a fever. I couldn't do anything except lay there, luckily my wonderful sister Mandy came and got Andrew and I slept from 11 am until 5:30 pm. Only waking up at 1:30 to eat a piece of toast and to make sure Dave was getting Andrew from my sisters. The fevers proceeded along with a stuffy nose and a sore throat to the point that I could not swallow anything! So lets just say Christmas morning is a blur and it is a good thing we took pictures for me to remember it by. I went to the doctor on Friday morning and they gave me an antibiotic. By late Friday night I was starting to feel normal and could finally eat something. We finally ended Christmas on Sunday but having Christmas dinner. I was glad we waited and I was actually able to enjoy the meal! Here are some pictures of Andrew on Christmas morning.


Andrew truly loved his train set and kitchen and has not stopped playing with them. I loved that he was so excited for each present as he unwrapped it! I think it will make his birthday even more fun because he understands unwrapping presents and that when you do unwrap them you get a toy!

...Our dear old Allen High!

My high school won the Texas High School Football championship last night. It was an awesome and suspensful game! (Dave so kindly upgraded our Direct TV so I could watch it.) If you don't know, I have a tremendous love for football and learned everything I know about it from watching the Allen Eagles play. I went to practically every high school (away and home)game since I was born. This was the first time they made it to the championship and they won!!! Go Eagles!
