Judah finally learned to ride his bike! :)

He's been quite content to ride his trike until about a week ago - didn't take long for Bella to teach him to ride! :) He's a determined little man and she loves to teach! :)

Pregnancy Belly

For those of you who keep asking me for a picture of my pregnant belly - here it is - six months along (HUGE already, I know!!). I had Bella take the picture for me right before I ran out the door to work! She did a good job! :) Maybe she'll take after her auntie Breeze and be a good photographer!

Easy Bake Oven :)

So, we found an Easy Bake Oven with all the pieces the other day at Granny's, so I caved and finally bought it. It's been probably a year since she has continues to ask for one... They are all either $30 or don't have the parts that you need, so when we saw it a Granny's the other day she didn't even ask. hehe - Then I brought it to the counter and I wish I had a camera there to get the look on her face when she realized that I was going to buy it - totally priceless! And $2 none the less! ;) Since then she and Judah have made a sign for their "cafe" and created menus and are constantly in there cooking pretzels (already made ones, just heating them up... - hehe) and peanuts and cookies (ok - those were real)... It's been pretty funny! Now they have added drinks to the menu and keep walking around asking everyone to make orders - it's pretty funny! Anyway! Here are a couple of pics of the crazy kiddos! :)

MOTHER'S DAY :)

My Gramma Peg just sent me this poem:

Before I was a Mom,
I never tripped over toys
or forgot words to a lullaby.
I didn't worry whether or
not my plants were poisonous.
I never thought about immunizations.

Before I was a Mom,
I had never been puked on.
Pooped on. Chewed on. Peed on.
I had complete control of my mind
and my thoughts.
I slept all night.

Before I was a Mom,
I never held down a screaming child
so doctors could do tests. Or give shots.
I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.
I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.

Before I was a Mom,
I never held a sleeping baby just
because I didn't want to put her down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces
when I couldn't stop the hurt.
I never knew that something so small
could affect my life so much.
I never knew that I could love someone so much.
I never knew I would love being a Mom.

Before I was a Mom,
I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body…
I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby.
I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child.
I didn't know that something so small could
make me feel so important and happy.

Before I was a Mom,
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night
every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay.
I had never known the warmth, the joy,
the love, the heartache, the wonderment or
the satisfaction of being a Mom.
I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much,
before I was a Mom.
