Sono pictures

Here is baby Ruby at 22 weeks- No we still did not peek at the gender. If I had to guess I guess boy- but everyone else guesses girl. I have no scientific reason to think it is a boy- but since Kirt & I can't agree on a boy name- I suspect that it MUST be a boy.

Sam's last soccer game

Sam & Grandpa Gary

Sam had a huge cheering section with Uncle Brian, Tyler, Misha, Jessie, & Grandma Karen & Grandpa Gary. Grandma Peggy was so nice to stay back & watch Emerson since she is not feeling good! We had a brunch at our house before the game- Brooke & Tracey came to that but had to go get their nails done before Brooke's big dance recital!

Our "Graceful" little girl

Emerson fell really hard on her head this week! It was one of the scariest falls that either of my kids have had. She was playing peekaboo on the couch with a blanket and got tangled up in it and fell and hit the trunk in out living room! She was pretty dazed for a few minutes but she finally got up and started playing! Now she had that enterovirus (hand, foot,mouth) she is pretty miserable with the little blisters on her tongue!

Mothers day celebrations

We celebrated Mother's Day with Grandma Karen at a restaurant on Lake Ray Hubbard. It was a beautiful night on the lake! Then I actually worked mothers day, so Kirt went to Brian & Misha's house to celebrate for dinner!

Meredith's shower

We had a baby shower to celebrate the early arrival of Andrew! We had such a great time!

Meredith, Ashlee, Stacey, & Tracey

Meredith has 2 sets of twin friends! Here we are with Carrie & Ashley!

Sam's mothers day program

Sam & Brooke had their mothers day program at school. They sung the cutest songs- my favorite was "I love my mommy, my mommy loves me" So sweet! Sam made me a heart keychain and a box painted with a flower & a bookmark. Then they served their mommies tea & cake

Fun at the Arboretum

We had a great morning at the Arboretum on Monday Grandma Peggy & Emerson, Sam & Grandpa Len had a great time riding on the tram for a personal tour of the arboretum Jessie, Sam, and our cousing Madeline from Minnesota loved the open areas to run and play While Emerson was very concerned about the bug crawling on the flower

Our first swim for the spring!

We had a great breakfast with Kirt's cousins from Minnesota- we took advantage of the warm weather. Grandpa Len heated the pool for the inagrual swim of the season! Sam loved swimming with Matt & Tyler. Kirt braved the water with Emerson.

Celebrating my birthday with the Greenwoods

Brithday girls at Brio for dinner.

Weekend getaway

Kirt & I had a great weekend away. We stayed at The Worthington and they were nice enough to upgrade us to a suite at no extra charge- I think they saw that I was pregnant and Kirt told them it was my birthday. We had a great lunch at Joe T Garcia's with mexican food on the patio- nothing better on a sunny day! Then we went and saw a movie and had dinner at Reata on the rooftop overlooking downtown and then we went to a comedy theater. We had a great time! Thanks to my parents for watching the kids overnight and Tracey & Josh for taking Sam to a carnival on Saturday. Tonite we are celebrating my birthday with Tracey & Josh and my parents have the kids again tonight! Sam & Emerson LOVE to go to Grandma's house- Sam keeps saying "I wanted to stay 5 nights- why did you come & get me?" I always joke with my mom that Sam would just rather move in over there.

Emerson's best friend

Emerson is really liking her baby doll these days. She seems a little young to be at the "pretend" stage, but she loves to feed her baby and push her in the stroller. She even "shares" her blankey with her "ba-beeee" (as she calls her)

Fun in the sun

We enjoyed the sun today washing the car. As you can tell the kids lost intrest soon! Emerson walked her baby in the stroller & Sam was worried about washing the dirt off his bike. So basically, I washed the car, but did get one picture of Sam helping.

Fun at the park

We had a great day at the park. The kids loved riding bikes and having a picnic. Grandma Karen & Tracey and the kids went with us!

Swimming fun in April

Emerson was such an innocent victim- she had no idea she was about to get squirted! She was SO SO mad at Sam- you can see Sam getting a talk about no getting his sister wet in the background! Andy thought we filled up the pool for him! Andy ended up SOAKING wet by the end of it all- He loves the water Sam got his snorkel out- Emerson never got in the water she just played from the outside!

Planting a Garden

Max was eating dirt before we even started! Grandma Karen has lots of patience! Max was so happy playing in the dirt

And the new baby is...

We know we are frustrating alot of you but we have decided to have the gender of the new baby be a suprise! We went for our sonogram on Monday and everything looked great- it weighed 11 ounces already! Since we have a boy and a girl already we decided to be suprised this time! So we will find out in August!
