March in review

I am so behind!  I have plenty of excuses, but mainly, I've been lazy.  Here are some pictures I took in March.

These first few are of the "fort" Jason made the kids.  Kiera started asking for one so he went out to our garage and found cardboard boxes we had and got to it.

There are more pictures of Kiera, but that's because it was hard to get Rylan to sit still long enough for a good picture. They had a lot of fun with it as it slowly died.  Even the cat got in on the action....

He freaked out pretty quickly though and got out of there.

Here are s few other pictures that I took...haven't been very good at it lately.  I will try to upload Easter pics and more ASAP.

Watching a movie

Rylan decided that the table needed cleaning...all on his own

He is a cutie...in the picture you can see his latest scare on his forehead.  Got that one getting out of the bath tub..

Not so great 24 hrs.

So last week we had a somewhat difficult 24 hrs.  It all started on Wednesday night.  After putting the kids to sleep we were doing are nightly routine of making sure all animals are accounted for.  So we started calling our cats home.  Tex came home....but no Ghost.  We called and whistled, and not even a sound.  Usually he at least meows so that we know where is at.  Finally I go and look in the back yard and was not happy with what I found.  We are not sure, but we think that he must have been clipped by a car, made it over the fence, and then lost the fight.  We found our poor kitty dead.  Jason quickly took care of the body.  We waiting a few days until Kiera asked about him and then had a explain to her what happened.  She handled pretty good overall.  It broke my heart though when in her pray she asked Heavenly Father to send him back.  I think she is stilling grasping the idea that he can't come back. 

To add on to that the next night Rylan decided to fall down and hurt himself again.  I was coming home from being out with the kids just as Daddy was making his escape out the front door when the kids found him. Somewhere between them greeting him and me still trying to make it inside and put everything down, Rylan decided to trip and fall onto our staircase.  Not the stairs mind you, but the edge of the the wooden post.  So we got to go the the doctors after hours clinic and got five stitches in his head.  I have decided that my little boy is not lucky when it comes to sharp edges and his head.  I'm wishing and praying that we can end his problems with sharp edges and his head real soon, since I am starting to be really worried about his well being.....and kind of my check book. :)

It's a.....

So, Wednesday we went in to the doctor for the Ultrasound.  I'm 21 weeks and ready to find out what the sex of this baby is...and more importantly to know that everything is looking the way it should be.  So we get in there and the lady doing the ultrasound said that we were going to look at all the medical and then we could have some fun and find out the sex.  It didn't work out that way.  Within seconds after the picture shows up on the screen, I look up and I'm like, well I know what we're having.  Sure enough there was no mistaking that the baby was a....BOY!  This boy was not bashful at ALL.  The best news though is that everything is looking healthy and the way it should.  We are so excited to hear that things are going well and now look forward to welcoming a new boy into our family!
