Easter Party

Sunny was so excited for her preschool Easter party. She got all dressed up for the occasion in her dress that Mok sent her.

Happy 6th Birthday Jax

Jax's birthday was actually yesterday, but we were gone all day and I didn't have time to blog about it. He had a great day! These are of him opening his package from Mok and Pok. He loved everything. He got his own scooter, a remote control car, some kind of disc-launcher thing that he LOVES, a game, and some sticker and coloring books. As he was opening his presents he turned to me and said, "You know why all this is so cool, because I'll never be bored again!" I think I'll hold him to that. Thanks Mok for all the great presents. You definitely have a knack for knowing what my kids will love.

Scootering around my front room!

Lila got this bunny in the birthday package. She carried it around forever, but as soon as she set it down Sunny claimed it for her own. It's name is foo-foo and it will be going to preschool for show and tell with Sunny on Friday.

On Sunday afternoon we went to Nana's to watch conference and have a big party with Ryan's family. We have several April birthday's, so there was lots of yummy food and cake. Nana got Jackson Mario and Sonic at the Olympics for his Wii and he loves it. Thanks Nana.

I seriously can't believe my first baby is 6. Time has flown by. We are so grateful for him in our family. He is such a special kid. He is the best big brother to his sisters, and a wonderful example to all of us. Seriously, I'm not exaggerating. If you know Jackson, you know it is the truth. He is just about the best kid EVER!!!

A Good Day

For the second week in a row I was able to go grocery shopping by myself (well, without Ryan but with the girls) and this week I didn't almost pass out 15 times during the trip. I did almost throw up in the car, but I didn't. Yea!!! Then I came home and unloaded it all, which means carrying everything up 2 flights of stairs, and organized it in the kitchen. I'm definitely spent now, but so proud of myself. Good days (health wise) are few and far between for me, so I really appreciate them when I have them.

And...

I'm a sewer now!! I busted out my machine and have made a ton of stuff. I'll have to take some pictures later. I even made my very own newborn sized diaper for Griffin.

1 Year Stats

Lila had her check-up today with Dr. Wilcox. She is 12 1/2 months old.

19 lbs 2 oz = 20th%
28.5 inches = 30th%
17 inch head = 6th%

We are thrilled that she has actually started to grow a little bit. The doctor thinks she has a milk protein allergy and so she wasn't growing that well the last 3 months when we switched her to a milk based formula. She has been on soy milk for the last month and a half and we can really tell a difference. She is actually starting to feel heavy!!! Poor baby had to get 4 shots, one in each arm and one in each leg. Sunny went with me to help with Lila though, and did a great job distracting her.

Ultrasound of Griffin

Today I went for my 20 week ultrasound. I went by myself because I like to be able to ask questions and talk to the person doing it without all my kids driving us crazy. It went really well. She checked his heart 5 different times and got all the views she needed ( we already knew he didn't have TGA, but it is still nice to triple check!) and she was satisfied that his heart looks great. He is now measuring 2 days ahead and weighs 14 ozs. We got a DVD and about 15 pictures of him. The lady told me she had printed me way too many pictures and to hide them in my purse until I got home so she didn't get in trouble by the office. I'll add the pictures later, but trust me some of them are really neat.

Halfway

Alright, here I am at 20 weeks (which is actually more than halfway for me, since I have my babies pretty early -- but who's counting:)

If you say I don't look pregnant to my face, I might punch you. The truth is though, I don't. Still wearing all my regular clothes and even have more growing room in my regular jeans. I thought you were supposed to get bigger with each pregnancy, and I think I'm getting smaller. This is baby number 4, but I've been pregnant 5 times, what is going on?

Oh well, I'm not gonna complain. Just can't wait to meet my baby boy!
