34 WEEKS...only 6 TO GO!!

WOW... time is flying with this pregnancy! I know I have said that tons of time, but 34 weeks already, CRAZY!! I still feel great with this pregnancy as I tell people, I feel normal just a little bigger. I am just starting to feel a little pressure, but nothing to slow me down. I think it has helped that I really try to nap whenever possible. My ankles have also surprisingly not swollen much and NO Stretch marks yet.. YEAH!! Thanks to my Mama for good preggo genes. I think a lot of things in life are also mind over matter, and I am determined to enjoy this process as it is over WAY TO SOON!

I plan on teaching until this baby comes because I see no reason to stay home. I am also still leading MOPS and believe it or not stamping MORE!! Nesting plays a big part. I am just so excited to meet little Evan!!

We gave Drew a baby doll today (one of my old cabbage patch kids) and he LOVES it. I will take some pics this week! Enjoy my 34 week pics!!

DREW-ISMS

Drew is the king of one liners and tons of moments where you stop and say "WHAT?" I just have to capture some of his phrases so I don't forget and I thought you would enjoy these along the way. Keep in mind he is only TWO!

"That's not gonna happen" (when we put him in his room to go to sleep, this is all you can hear through the monitor).

"Oh Dear"

"Oh My Gosh" (we are trying to get him to say Oh my Goodness)

"Brownie Poop" (this is totally my fault, I said it one time when I was changing a diaper, and well it stuck... good grief)

"Apple Suck" (another one we are not proud of, I will also take the blame for this because he said this in the car after a haircut and forgot to finish the work sucker, it caught me totally off guard and I started laughing, so now this is what he calls a sucker... GREAT).

"I am a Dude"

"Mommy, truck needs a bath its dirty"

"What does ________ say?" (He asks this about everything whether it talks or not)

"What happened?"

"Hey...wait a minute."

"I don't want to" or "No I not"

"Why?...Because"

When a friend of ours printed something off her computer, Drew ran over to her and said "COUPONS!" I am so proud!!

Singing... I love watching Drew in the video monitor because before he goes to sleep you can always see him in there singing either Happy Birthday or Jesus Loves Me... Melts my heart.

Drew is definitely at that stage where he repeats just about everything, so we are on guard!

He LOVES letters and thanks to "The Letter Factory" he recognizes and says just about every letter and can tell you what sound they make.

I will put a video up soon of his counting.. right now he counts to 6, not bad!!

I know I am forgetting so many... I will post more as I remember them or as he reminds me!! LOL!!

LOVE my PRESCHOOLERS!!

I just had to share this picture with you! We did our Valentine's party at MDO (Mother's Day Out) this past Friday. Here is an adorable pic of my kiddos!!

HAPPY VALENTINE's DAY!!

Just a quick "HAPPY VALENTINE'S" Day from our house to yours!! I took these pics really quick last week so we could make a couple quick Valentine's..

32 Weeks and Counting..

Okay so this is a week late because tomorrow I am actually 33 weeks. Anyhow, we have only 7 weeks to go and the excitement is building! I am trying to get all the little stuff done and make big checks off my list from packing the hospital bags, making sure all the clothes are organized and put away, washing the equipment covers, and purchasing those items we need...WHEW!! Oh, and how can I forget get all the rest I can now!

Drew loves squeezing my belly to wake up little Evan as well as giving my belly hugs & kisses. We will just have to see if that carries on once his little brother is actually here.

We are still on schedule for a due date of April 4th, Easter Sunday. Anyhow, here are some updated pictures we took last week. I promise my 34 week pictures will NOT be in front of a Christmas tree.. LOL!!

MONEY SAVING FUN...

Okay so we are one month into our 2010 Money Saving Adventure. I am loving the Dave Ramsey class and we are SOOOOO motivated to change our lives and our future. I wanted to share with you some money saving fun. My friend Courtney is such an inspiration to me in this area because well, she just rocks at money saving. So, I have to give her props to what I know so far. Let's just say in the month of January we are at around 70% savings, which is CRAZY! I am also loving the stock process and I get really excited when I see our stock increase. I will take a picture of it and post it soon.

Here are some of my favorite money saving sites. I am sure this is overwhelming to some of you and I completely understand, I was there. These sites do all the work for you when it comes to coupons..

Money Saving Mom

STL MOMMY

My Dallas Mommy

The Frugal Girls

Just click on the name and it will take you to their sites. I would highly recommend becoming part of their email list. My Dallas Mommy is special because Courtney is part of the team, so check out her site and support her!! Every time you print a coupon through her site she benefits from it!! Happy Shopping!

TA-DA....Our Circus Clown!!

I had to take pictures of this because it is sooooo funny! Well, atleast it is to us! As we are working through our Dave Ramsey class we just have to add a budget line for The Little Gym because Drew loves to balance on David's back or my legs. I was actually surprised at how well he does with it. Enjoy a couple of pics and a fun video!!

30 WEEKS

I thought I had posted this, but guess not! I tell you what my brain is running a mile a minute trying to think of everything to get done and ready for this new little boy. I have huge goals between money saving, organizing, downsizing, etc.. Anyhow, while my mind is going crazy I thought you would enjoy the pictures I took last weekend... I am actually 31 weeks now and I am going to try to take pictures every 2 weeks from here on out.. Single Digits... CRAZY!!

By the way, some of you have asked if I need anything we did register at Target, Babys R Us, & Amazon. We really did it for the AWESOME coupons and discounts you get plus to give me a checklist. I am not putting this on here for any of you to feel pressured, it is just to help those who have asked and well my forgetful brain. We love you all!!
