Not Feeling Well

So I think the stress and busyness of trying to sell our house and having an open house during the Parade of Homes finally got to me. Yeah, I started getting sick on Kolter's birthday and it really hit me hard yesterday. I was wiped out and so was my little Karsten. We're both sick. So anyway, we stayed home from church yesterday to rest and not spread the germs. I was feeling terrible and was just laying on the couch trying to entertain Karsten cause somehow he wasn't acting so sick anymore. Well, the next thing I know I'm waking up in a panic hearing my front door open. Not really knowing what was going on I rushed downstairs to find Karsten asleep on the stairs. Yes, the stairs. It was so sad. I guess I must have fallen asleep on the couch and he left and went and did his own thing. When he tried to make it back up stairs his sickness finally kicked in again and he just couldn't make it and had to take a break...falling asleep on the second stair up. Poor little guy!

Oh and luckily the person at the door was just my neighbor, not someone who would turn me in for child neglect.

Pony Tails?

I just had to post this picture of Karsten last week before he got his haircut.

Happy 4th Birthday Kolter!

Well, Kolter is another year older. He doesn't understand why he doesn't feel any bigger though. He was a little disappointed about that, but he had a huge smile when I took him to the growth chart on the wall and he could actually see how much he'd grown in the last year. That's when he decided he really was "bigger."

For his birthday we took the kids to Jumpin Jacks and ate dinner at "Weiners" :) aka Wingers, Kolter's favorite place. We kept it simple this year and just tried to focus on Kolter. I think he had a good day, especially once Kyler got home from school and he FINALLY got to open his presents. Oh, and don't mind the cake. Yeah, it wasn't supposed to be monster trucks climbing in the mountains, jumping over the huge crack, but hey, I had Kolter convinced that it was really awesome. That's all that matters right?

Happy Birthday to my sweet, sensitive, loving and rowdy little Kolter.

Happy Valentine's Day!

It's GIRL Time, Baby!

So I've been a little out of control gearing up for this lil' baby girl that we're expecting now in less than seven weeks! I'm getting really excited. It all started with the hot pink and black frames that I got from Elements Frame Co. Aren't they so cute?!?! Yeah, well I wasn't sure what I was going to do for the baby's room, but when I saw these frames I fell in love, and Danny said "Well, do her room in hot pink, black and white then." So, I got the frames, and the fun began. Next it was the stroller, (how did it happen to be in hot pink and black and be on sale too?)I can thank Danny and my parents for my Christmas gift card from Lil' Wee Kids Boutique and money for that. Then came picking fabrics for the car seat cover and for the crib bedding - of course all in hot pink and black and white. Then came the diaper bag. Yes, I splurged. BUT it was on sale at a semi-annual online outlet sale which doesn't offer all the Petunia products...somehow they happened to have the exact diaper bag that I was wanting (they only had two colors of about twenty from that line) and so I figured it was meant to be. ;) I couldn't resist. I still feel guilty about it, but I do love it. Now I'm just trying to figure out what I'm gonna do when it gets dirty? Dang it.

Anyway...as you can see I've been having fun. I got my maternity pictures taken too. I can't wait to see them. Yeah, I'm going all out for this last pregnancy. Now I just need to make a blanket and a few bracelets, get the room ready, get the clothes washed and pick a name. Any suggestions?
