Last night I was so utterly exhausted I didn't know if I could even move... but I had to go to Jasper to pick up the pictures for our Christmas Cards so I could get them mailed out, they were all ready to be sent- just missing the picture! Ryan was so sweet, he offered to drive there with me so I wouldn't have to! It's probably a good thing to, b/c I was so tired I probably wasn't safe to be driving. I stayed in the car in my sweats while Ryan & B went in and picked them up... & then they played for like 30 minutes in the candy aisle & the toy aisle... I think they forgot ol' mom was in the car?! lol. I asked Ryan what they were doing and he started laughing and said he told B to sit on a whoopie cushion in the store... oh my! I have TWO little boys on my hands already, Andon will make 3! lol. Ryan said a little girl started laughing at B (she was about 7 or 8) and her mom got mad at her and said, "that is NOT funny!". Ryan said that just made it even funnier to him- b/c I mean, come on, they are kids! :) Anyway, I got all the pictures put in the cards last night & mailed them off this morning. I was ready for bed last night- and slept pretty good, besides getting up every hour again to pee... I can handle that though, as long as I can get to sleep initally!
Today has been busy for me already! Brycen had his four yr. check up today! He is skinny & tall on the chart, lol. He was 41 inches tall & only 34 lbs. I promise we feed him :). He was only in the tenth percentile for weight, no wonder his pants are always falling down! At the rate he is growing height wise though, at least we hopefully won't have to worry about him being a midget like me :). He had grown 3 1/2 inches since he was there last time! He was in the 60th percentile for height. The dr. said is doing good and to keep it up :) That's what we like to hear! I still can't believe my "baby" will be FOUR tomorrow. I think back to my post last year and how I felt on his birthday... I was incredibly sad & wanted to cry all day on his birthday... I had a lot of emotions going on b/c of finding out I wasn't pregnant again for that month & all that came with that and I was overwhelmed. This year seems so much better! I'm still amazed that a year has went by and that he is four, but I'm not terribly sad. I'm just so darn proud of the little boy he is (not that he is perfect, but he really is a good kid most of the time!). He is so excited to be having 3 little friends from pre-school over tomorrow, so we'll see how that goes.
Today is also my mom's 44th birthday! I think she's still pretty young & hip so I don't think she'll mind me putting her age on here :) I used to hate it when people said I looked like my mom, but she looks so good for her age, now I like it when people say that & hope I age as well as she is! Her small group friends & I surprised her. At work they told her she had a mtg. w/ the superintendent and so she came in to central office thinking she had a mtg. and that she was eating lunch with the girls that work there... haha SURPRISE! We were all there waiting for her & then took her out to lunch at The Sweet Shoppe here in town. She was speechless, and if you know her, that's a rare occasion (i'm def. my mother's daughter!) :). It's a good thing I have been busy and haven't talked to her much this week b/c it would of been a hard surprise to keep! Lunch was wonderful & it was good to visit with everyone.
I am finally back at work... Friday's are really slow for me b/c I'm the only one in the office & I don't have any court hearings. It's so cold and it's spitting snow outside, makes me want to curl up at my desk and go to sleep! :) Tonight we have Jacoby Yoder's 1st Birthday party. I love first birthdays- so precious! B of course is excited to see Isaac.
This morning B woke up and said, "When our baby gets here I will give him some of my presents!" I told him he doesn't have to do that, and he said, "I know, I lov ehim and want to share with him!" Ho sweet is that?! I hope he still thinks that way when Andon actually does get here! lol... I think he will do good, he is pretty soft hearted and is so sweet around other babies... I could be wrong and it could be different when the baby actually lives at our house, BUT I think he wanted this baby almost as much as me & Ryan... he prayed every day for Jesus to give us a baby when we were going through our trying process. I love listening to him think of the baby & talk about the baby all the time... it's already so real to him it seems... he even insisted on hanging up Andon's stocking this year & wants to put stuff in it!
Well, I should probably get some sort of work done today~ hope everyone has a great weekend- I'm sure I'll have birthday party pictures to post on Monday!

My kids LOVE whoopie cusions! They get them every year in their stockings. I know weird..but the amount of giggles it produces in a short time it is worth the whole $1.00.. They usually end up popping in a day or two. We also have a dirty santa we play with the nieces and nephews and that is usally one of the "gifts" that is traded the most! ha ha..
my kids love whoopie cushions...sounds like that mom Ryan ran into must have been having a bad day...or was raising the "perfect child"...harmless in my opinion!
