There were 4 guys who attempted to eat a 3 pound cheeseburger and a pound of french fries. Unfortunately, none of the guys finished the challenge, but Erik made it the farthest. Here are some pictures from the day<br />

When I had my other one at the beginning of the month, there were some parts of her body that the technician couldn't see, so we had to try again. We are still having a girl. :) (Thank goodness because we've already rearranged Kayleigh's room to add the crib for her sister!) The technician also gave the baby a 100% on her anatomy test. She was moving a lot during the ultrasound, and it was so neat to get to see her movements AND feel them at the same time! Although she was so active, her heartbeat was "only" 142 bpm. The technician estimated her due date as December 5th. Her official due date is the 6th of December, so she's growing at a good pace. I just hope she'll hold on so we can have our c-section on November 30th!<br />
We are so happy to be having another healthy baby!<br />

I am 21 weeks now, and looked nice last night, so I had Erik get a belly pic. I was feeling bigger thank this picture shows! I was surprised that my belly wasn't sticking out farther. I guess I still have time for it to grow. :)</div>

I hadn't taken the kids this summer until Jenna called me earlier this week to tell me they had time for kids 5 and under. It wasn't very crowded, and the kids had a great time. I was a little nervous with 2 kids and them getting away from me in the water, but they did great. I just had to make sure to keep my eye on the two of them. We went twice this week with plans to go again soon.<br />

Kayleigh is excited, but Brian is a little disappointed. He says that he's excited to have a baby, but he also wants a boy. I keep saying he'll be glad he doesn't have to share a room. It would be nice for him to have a little brother since they would be closer in age, but we are just happy that the baby is healthy.<br />
We had a great ultrasound. She was covering her face, so we didn't get a great look at it. That means that when I go for my next appointment I'll get another ultrasound. The technician needs to see her face and have another look at her heart. We could see all of the chambers of her heart, and it was beating at a smooth 140 beats per minute, but since I am not quite 18 weeks, the technician wants to see it again. I think she can get a better picture of it if it's a little bigger. Everything else looks healthy. We saw 10 fingers and 10 toes.<br />
I'll post an ultrasound picture after my next appointment. Because of the baby's position, we didn't get any good profile pictures. Hopefully she'll be more cooperative next time!Kayleigh and Brianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09176795071683506328noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8516557042206001614.post-73629875037301657152012-06-23T07:12:00.002-07:002012-06-23T07:14:51.308-07:00Oink! Oink!Before we headed to Jacksonville on Wednesday, we went to see our friends' pigs. One of the sows just had piglets, so we wanted to see them. There were some who loved to get out of their pen, and were there to greet us when we got there. They were all so excited to eat the food we brought for them and were making a lot of noise to make sure we knew they were hungry!<br />

We were so busy last week, and I almost forgot about graduation! Graduation started at 12:45, so we decided to have a quick family breakfast with all of the grandparents before Kayleigh went to school one last time. She was so excited to get to stay and eat lunch with her friends. Graduation was so good, with the kids singing lots of songs. After a slideshow, the kids walked across the stage to get their diplomas. <br />
It was sad to know that Kayleigh won't be going to her school anymore. We have loved her teachers and staff there, and are excited for Brian to get to go in a couple of years. They have prepared her well for kindergarten, and we know she will succeed in elementary school.<br />

Siblings</div>Kayleigh and Brianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09176795071683506328noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8516557042206001614.post-41443288428400015122012-06-03T18:44:00.000-07:002012-06-03T18:44:09.665-07:00CampingMy dad wanted to go camping with us while they were here. I will say that I was a little nervous about how hot it was going to be at the campground, but the weather was BEAUTIFUL, with a nice breeze most of the day. We got there on Friday in time for lunch. After lunch, we went to the dock to try out the new fishing poles and check out the river. The kids practiced casting their lines before we switched Kayleigh over to a hook and bait. Brian never switched to a hook, but he was content to fish with what he had.<br />
We did have to take a break from fishing and explore the area. We drove around the Econfina State Park, which meant a lot of off road action. From one place we could see the Gulf.<br />
When we got back from our explorations, we took the kids back to do some real fishing. The kids used the same bait I used at their age--hot dogs!! Erik thought we were crazy, but Kayleigh caught a fish after just her second or third time casting her line! Erik caught 3 fish...or was it one fish that he caught 3 times??? We're not sure. I caught my usual amount--zero. It was okay. We had fun.<br />
For dinner we grilled some hotdogs and ate potato salad and fruit. Mom and I made sure to have all of the ingredients for s'mores! YUM! The rain started coming just minutes after dessert, so we went up to the porch to talk and let the kids entertain us before bed time. Kayleigh slept with my parents in their room, and Brian stayed with us. Mom said Kayleigh didn't last too long before falling asleep. The same could be said about Brian. <br />

Unfortunately, when Kayleigh woke up Saturday morning, she had a bad ear ache. We had to cut our trip short so she could get back home and go to the doctor.

I am the mother of a 5 year old!! We are so excited about out little girl growing up. My parents were here to help celebrate her birthday, but first, she had to go to school. Keeping with the ladybug theme, I made some ladybug cookies that Kayleigh took to her school to share with her friends. I have to say, the cookies turned out WAY better than her cake! After school and a nap, we went to Piggy's for dinner. Kayleigh and Brian both like that restaurant, and my mom said she wanted to go there because she likes the name. The food is delicious, and we all enjoyed what we ordered.<br />

Actually, Kayleigh has been busy all week at school making little treats for me for Mother's Day, including a bracelet wrapped in homemade wrapping paper and a cake. She decorated the cake Friday morning and we wasted no time getting into it Friday night!<br />

We went to Chuck E Cheese's this morning to celebrate Brian filling up his accident treat chart. We have been working on it for awhile now as he's practicing going potty in the big boy potty. Grammy and our friend Emma joined us in the festivities. We went through almost all of our tokens, but had a blast doing it, so it was worth it! <br />

Our Chick-Fil-A had a Mother-Son Date "Knight" tonight, and we went with Jenna and Jack. They had one part sectioned off for us, and it was so nice! The boys got a balloon sword and were knighted by the cow. Brian did NOT participate in that ceremony! He had said on the way there that he wanted the cow to stay in the barn and not come out. He was so brave when the cow was around, though. At one point he touched the cow while the cow's back was turned. :) The boys also each got a rose to give to Mom. We had a great time and were so thankful that Chick-Fil-A would go through the trouble to make a special night for us.<br />

I was a little nervous about how he would do, but he's a champ! He wasn't so sure about it at first, but he loves it now. He stays in his bed until it's time to wake up and hasn't fallen out of it yet. Last night he must have been extra tired because he told me he wanted to go to bed and climbed off my lap and climbed into bed. I can't believe what a big boy he has become!<br />

Yesterday, Kayleigh and I ran the Tails & Trails 1 mile again. This is the second year we've been official runners. We ran it in just under 16 minutes. After the race there were lots of dogs and cats to see. (No, we didn't get one. We have plenty, thank you!) The kids also had a SnoCone and some cotton candy. Kayleigh jumped in the bounce house and they had their faces painted right before we left. Kayleigh didn't know what she wanted to the lady just picked for her. Brian wanted to be a tiger and he was super cute! <br />

It was his first time going, and although we had talked about and practiced what it would be like going to the dentist, you never know what his reaction will be once he's actually there. When the hygenist called him back, he jumped up and followed her to the little room. Then he jumped right up in the chair and laid down like he'd done it a million times before! The dentist said his teeth look great, although he has a little bit of an overbite, probably caused by using a pacifier. Oops. The orthodonist is thrilled!! :)<br />

We love having her around! She comes running up to us whenever we are outside and gets plenty of attention from our family. Unfortunately, she has snuck into our house a couple of times in the middle of the night, scaring us half to death. I went out to the garage this evening to do a load of laundry and I found her in the laundry basket. I told her to stay put so I could snap a couple of pictures, and then I had to put her back outside. <br />

I'll give you a hint: it's a SNAKE! Okay, it's an itty bitty tiny snake, but it's a snake. The kids and I were eating lunch one day when Ginger started barking at something. It didn't bother me, but Kayleigh wanted to go outside to investigate. She came back in saying, "Mommy, there's a snake out there on its back!" I immediately thought it would be much bigger than it was. We watched while Ginger played with it. When it stopped moving for awhile, she lost interest. When I saw it moving again, I made sure to bring Ginger's attention back to it! She definitely wounded it, but didn't kill it. I hope that it went under the deck to die.<br />

At first I thought it was the washing machine, so I went out to the garage to listen for the sound again, but didn't hear anything. Then, I figured it must have been the neighbors pressure washing outside (they've been doing that recently). I kept looking around to see if I could see someone working, but no one was outside. I tried not to worry about it, and a few minutes later I saw the mail lady dropping off some mail. I went outside to get it, and when I turned to come back in, I saw a hot air balloon! The wooshing was the fire to keep the balloon in the air. I ran inside to get Brian and my camera. At first Brian wasn't too keen on a huge balloon flying around our neighborhood, so we went inside. We could see the balloon from our dining room window, and when Brian would see it above the tree line he would say, "Let's see the balloon! Hurry Mom! Let's go outside!" We kept doing that until I guess the balloon landed, since eventually we didn't see it rise above the tree line. <br />
<br />
After picking Kayleigh up and getting in the car at the end of her school day, she asked if we had seen a hot air balloon. I thought maybe Brian had said something to her, but no. One of her teachers saw it and let the kids go outside for a peek. She said it was a different one, because the one Brian and I saw was rainbow colored, and Kayleigh said the one she saw was blue and white. We hope that we'll get to see some more soon!<br />

Valerie and Matt have a membership to the Jacksonville Zoo, so she suggested that we meet there and hang out for the day. We all had fun seeing the animals, but the kids especially liked riding on the train. We hope to do it again with Erik, but not until it starts to cool off in the fall!<br />

Some leprechauns came to the school and took over the classrooms! They made a MESS!!<br />
<br />
I don't usually keep a camera with me, but at the last minute I grabbed it so I could get a picture of Kayleigh with her green hair. We were running a little late, so I had decided to take a picture of Kayleigh in front of her school. I was SO glad I had my camera with me!!<br />

I just made this little diaper cradle/bassinet for a shower I'm going to this weekend. I found my inspiration on Pinterest, my favorite new website for when I need ideas. This was super easy, especially with the sewing machine making the hems. It's far from perfect, but I'm quite pleased with this as my first one.<br />

Kayleigh started TBall last weekend. She is on the Red Sox with her buddy Jack. The season is only 6 weeks long, and each Saturday they have practice and then the game. This is a non-competitive league, which means there is only one inning, and each kid gets to hit and run around the bases and everyone gets to play in the outfield with their team. It is semi-organized chaos, but oh so fun to watch! </div>

Kayleigh was the last person to hit on her team this weekend, meaning she automatically hit a homerun since all of the kids get to run around the bases. Here is a link to her time at bat:</div>

You'll have to bear with me and enjoy!<br />
<br />
Post #1: I know the last post was about food, but here is another one. Erik was gone again one day last week (or was it the week before?!?!) and on those days I don't really cook dinner. I told the kids that we were going to eat octopus. Kayleigh did NOT like hearing me say that, and was pleasantly surprised with what she saw on her plate when it was finally presented. I have to tell you that I remember this from when one of my elementary teachers did it with my class. <br />

Post #2: Kayleigh wanted Brian and her to wear the same thing one day, so she chose their Gap shirts and khakis for the two of them. Please don't mind her hair--that's her thing and I'll let her have it however she wants...when we're at home. :)</div>

<span style="text-align: left;">Post #5: Last Friday was the Fairy Tale ball at Kayleigh's school. They all got to dress up and have a little dance. I was laughing to myself because Kayleigh had to dance with a boy from another class, and they looked so awkward. I thought, "Well, Kayleigh just got her first awkward dance out of the way!" They had a lot of fun, and Brian couldn't wait to get in on the action!</span></div>

Post #6: Kayleigh wanted to play tea party upstairs in her room when I realized that we had real tea downstairs. We gathered all of her tea party stuff and headed down for a "real" one. I cut up bananas and grapes and we also had some Craisins to snack on with our tea. We said only big boys and girls could come to the tea party and they had to be polite. We emphasized the big boys and girls part because Brian started potty training this week!!! YIPPEE!!! He's doing really well with just a couple of accidents a day. I'll take that, especially since I didn't think he would ever want to potty train.</div>

<br />
I think having pancakes for dinner is going to be our new "thing" when Erik has meetings. He had one this afternoon at church, but even though he was going to be home in time for dinner, Kayleigh still wanted to have pancakes. I got the idea from Amanda Eikeland to spell out the kids' names when I made the pancakes. I don't think the letters turned out as well, but Kayleigh thought it was pretty cool. Brian's name isn't long enough to fill him up, so he had another pancake after eating his letters. Are you surprised to hear/read that???<br />
