Just enjoying being outside...

After it has been so warm today, it was nice tonight-well, not the wonderful cool fall days that we love, but bearable. While the kids were playing beside me, I was experimenting with my new camara phone. I finally learned how to take the pictures and then send them to my e-mail, which just thrills my soul! Now maybe I won't miss those cute snapshots and memories just because I forgot my camara!! Isn't technology great!

Izz and her teeth

Let me start off with alittle background...after our last dentist appt, he wanted us to go see an orthodonist for a consult about Izz's crossbite (which I wasn't all that surprised since I got some of my braces early too). So that is where we went yesterday. We learned some interesting things about teeth, the way they grow and their order, and different ways to fix them- specifically they were thinking about putting an appliance in the roof of her mouth to stretch her palate, allowing the top teeth to sit in front of the bottom. After talking to us, taking x-rays and pictures, and then the ortho examining her; he decided not to put anything in her mouth at this time since the crossbite was really just over the 2 teeth on the left side. He will check it in a year because he is hoping that as her mouth grows it will correct itself. Thank goodness!! Not only for the $700 that we will save, but for her having to endure that and braces later on. Now, below is one of the pictures that they took of her teeth. Personally, I think it looks kind of neat because of all we learned, but K and Izz just think it is funny! And everytime P sees it, he says, "Oh, sissy's teeth"! :) Funny!

My new craze!!

k has always told me that he wants me to pursue hobbies/interests and that he would encourage me in it. Well, I think he is regreting those words. (especially since it is involving money every time) :) I have found E-bay! Now, to stop the sarcastic remarks from the peanut gallery, I always knew it was there. I have even bid on things thru other people, but I now know how easy it is and have found a few really good deals.

While I was searching and looking last week, I made a decision on the boys' room (doesn't that have a neat sound to it). :) Since P absolutely loves anything on wheels, I thought it would be cute to put these all thru the room (and still use the bedding from his stuff with the trains too). Here is a picture of a clock I found for $8 with shipping.

I thought it was just precious! So this is what I have been up to in the past week. No, we are no closer to a name for Buster (I just can't get used to calling him Bubba). But at least I will have cute room to put him in! :)

And the Tie Breaker is...

Yes, we have all been waiting for the big announcement....
Is it a boy or girl?????
Well...
It's a....








And everyone should have known that it was going to be a boy as soon as Kelly started saying girl! :)
Oh well, can't be right on everything! (ha,ha!)

One tired little boy

I love this picture! And I have been meaning to get it up for the past 2 days. We went swimming Saturday and this is what happened to Little Buddy afterwards. He was even too tired to move his arm...

Nana's Birthday

Friday night we traveled to Aunt Lauren's house to celebrate Nana's birthday. We had a great time with family, which always goes by too quickly, and I loved seeing Aunt Lauren's house and all the touches she has put into it! We are so sorry the CO crew couldn't join us, but ya'll were in our thoughts and talk (Big G- I would love for you to see Cocky come out of the 'moke too!!)

First Day of School

Izz was so excited about today!! Between getting new clothes, (thank you again Mamama!!) making new friends, buying school supplies, and meeting her teacher she was about to burst this morning!! She even woke us up this morning 20 minutes before our alarm went off because she wanted to go ahead and get ready! Hopefully this year will be as good as last if not better! I can't believe how fast my little girl is growing up!!

The Baby Update

Well, this week the pregnancy will be halfway through!! WOW! It seems to be flying by. It has been a pretty good, uneventful pregnancy so far (which in our case is a good thing). The kids are starting to get excited (well, Izz is. Buddy justs pats my belly and says baby- which is sweet when he does it to me, but is HILLARIOUS when he does it to Kyle). I have never been much of a person to get shots of my belly, but someone was asking that doesn't get to see me much, so here it is... Sorry it is alittle blurry, Izz is learning how to hold my camara. Now everyone has a week and a half to make their predictions before (hopefully) we find out and place it here. I would love to hear what you think!!
