dr visit update

well, i am officially having this baby feb. 26th. i am scheduled as of today. i went to the dr this morning and was graced with taking the glucose test...(blah). nothing much has changed other than setting the date. oh, the baby isn't that big...no worries cause ryan wasn't big herself. i can't believe in 8 weeks baby will be here.

if it is a girl....we think the name will be dylan scout...or dylan reese....if a boy....reagan arvil.

good news. we bought a new car. see ya bug! we bought a 97 lincoln continental which has 4 doors!! :D it's a boat but a boat that is reliable and a boat with some luxury. best part about our sweet dope ride...well, it's PAID for and NO car payments. now, our money can go towards a house in tulsa!! (just dreaming there). i am proud of my hubby for all the hard work he's put into saving...getting me to save...crunching numbers....

we went to the city yesterday with granNancy...and tucker and ry's granny. i admit the shocking number of people there was amazing...do they work or what?? ryan got some cute sunday dresses and a pair of tap and ballet shoes. the day at the mall really did me in...we got home and went and purchase the car...ate dinner at Granny's...she could literally feed an army at any given moment.

we don't have big plans tonight. we might celebrate with adeline and shane...i am pretty sure adeline, izzy, ry, and i will pass out before mid-night...but we might try....


HAPPY NEW YEAR'S!

wow.

wow. this past week has been crazy. guess this is a little foreshadowing of next year. seriously can't believe the year 2009 is right around the corner.

well, i finally have a small fraction of time to get some blogging finished. we had weddings and lots of CHRISTmas get togethers.

tucker and i decided to do the three of us on CHRISTmas eve. i have to admit that ry is a pretty good present opener. she definitely got to go it quite a bit over the past week.

so, we had the wedding...monday we had CHRISTmas at tucker's parents. papa got ryan to steal popcorn balls from everyone! tuesday we went to eat with the pool clan and said our goodbye's to t's bro jason and his family. wednesday tucker and his padre fixed his truck and we had our CHRISTmas celebration. we went to eat since i have been worn out and not feeling up to cooking. Thursday i went and helped t's granny make CHRISTmas dinner. came home and got the squirt up and ready and went back to t and r's granny's house for some good food. played dirty santa....i am pretty pumped about my ice tea maker!!

this past holiday season has been action packed. however, this pregnant lady needs a day to re-coop! thus, ry and i are making a movie day and going to watch 'horton hears a who'. enjoy some chill time with t tonight...saturday we may be going to cleveland to look at a car...so, more stuff to do....at least i get my day and i got through CHRISTmas!

hope everyone had a joyful CHRISTmas!

excited for her Diego backpack.....

Merry CHRISTmas!

just wanted to wish EVERYONE a merry CHRISTmas! (like my friend Micah says). we are having lunch at tucker's grannys....we are coming home to have a birthday party for Jesus this evening and reading the birth of Jesus. may all your days be filled with Joy. -LJP

bloggin for noggin

so, here's a new blog. i believe an exhaustion breakdown is in my near future. i have craziness going on right now.

this past weekend, tucker was insanely sick with a cold. ry has some funky virus going on...fortunately i have managed to stay sickness free. monday became crazy cold but i had to get millions of errands done that went from 2-6...yesterday we woke up and there is an icy snow mix out on our side street. we were locked inside...i attempted to get some Christmas things done...however, Ry is extremely clingy the past week.

today, i was suppose to go to the dr for ob...but i didn't want to chance our lives...ry, fetus, and myself....to go....i rescheduled. we still have Ryan's first dance recital today...i believe between three girls we will have 20 something people. i have to get things done for that....

tomorrow, i have a baby shower and i haven't finished her gifts....friday we have wedding stuff....saturday we have wedding stuff.....ahhhhhhhhh.

oh, and i haven't finished christmas gifts. aren't i great??

a cute little prayers....

the other day, i was graced with a lovely moment with ryan. we sat down to eat our breakfast...joined hands...i prayed. ryan says "amen" now afterwards. we were eating and of course i am talking to her asking "what would you like to do today?" and she says "hand mama"...i give her my hand with her little precious fingers wrapped around mine...she bows her head and mumbles a few words...look's up and says "AMEN" i began smiling and her happy face appears with glee and begins clapping for herself proclaiming "I DID IT I DID IT!" i told her that i know God understood her.

then today, we went to mcdonald's and tucker sat down...she grabbed my hand and tucker's and began praying again. so, all i have to say is that i am blessed truly blessed. thankful our children will grow up in a Christian home. i am blessed to have moments like little prayers that make my heart smile.

pics and more....

cheesy grin!! :D

polar express 2008

well, another weekend has gone by this month...they seem to dwindle fast this month...last saturday, we went on the polar express...afterwards, ry wasn't feeling the greatest so she took a 3 hr nap....ever since she got her shots last friday, she hasn't felt the best...however, i think she might have a little cold too...we went to the nursery and the boys hunted while all the girls stayed inside! since ry and adeline weren't feeling good we called it a short night.

sunday, ryan still wasn't herself...we missed church...tucker didn't have to play music either. ryan took another 3 hr nap...jake/jess's shower was a the church...i went by myself since ry was asleep but everyone kept wanting her so i drove home and got her. i believe she ate all the strawberries!

we went to keith and nancy's (tucker's parents) since nancy's parents (grandmother/graddad) and brother (scott) were in town for the shower. after all the francis's left...tucker took julee outside to shoot guns...making it her first time. t showed her all the safety features and all that jazz. we only have a 20 gauge and a 9 m. so pretty easy for her. then keith got out his 12 gauge and 40 revolver...i almost peed my pants when julee stumbled backwards.

we went to keith's parents after that to see christmas decorations. tucker's granny always tries to make everyone fat i think...that house is loaded with food.

monday was a normal night....considering heroes was on...if you haven't watched heroes...you are truly missing out on a good show!! i always check the clock to see how much more time i have.

today we have dance class...and we might have shane and adeline over for dinner. weird, but they will be our first dinner guests. hopefully they will come back after they taste my cooking!!

i hope you all are staying warm!
