More baby stuff!

We had another family dinner tonight and Steph was able to come this time so while she was here we did the pencil test on her too... according to the pencil she is having a girl... so that is 2 girls and one boy but we will find out for sure when they have ultrasounds.

Sunday Fun

The girls ( minus Steph) came over for dinner on Sunday and after dinner we decided to do the "Pencil Test"..an old fashioned way of finding out the gender of the baby... You stick a needle with thread in the eraser of the pencil and hold it over the wrist of the expecting mom..if it goes up and down it is a boy...back and forth it is a girl..so according to our pencil test Kim is having a boy and Melanie is having a girl! We have yet to do it on Steph.. we will see how correct it is when they have their ultrasounds to find out the sex of the babies! It feels soo good to say babies...yes we are having babies!! Stay tuned for the real sex of the babies!!

Valentines Day

Valentines Day..the day we profess our love to our loved ones with surgary cookies, homemade cards or store bought, lots of chocolate, a nice dinner out if were lucky and small gifts of love. Because I had to work I missed out on Maddy and Ky's party at school so I took a few pictures at their house. I did make some yummy cookies and brownie bites...George and I had a fun date...scroll down to the bottom to read about that.

Maddy and Ethan have been best friends since kindergarten These are Mississippi Mud Brownies in cupcake liners and they were great.

Decorating cookies.....always fun.

The Girls with their Valentines
George got me these beautiful Roses
This year for Valentines Day I wanted to do something different so I had Whitney put 4 random letters in a bag and after work we drove to ShopKo..In the car we picked two letters each and the rule was that we had to buy some gift's that started with those letters for each other and our budget was $25 each. My letters were T and O.. these are the items I bought for George, A T-shirt, a throw for his den and a Ocean scent diffuser for his den.. and everything was on clearance....I also thru in the Movie Somewhere in Time because it was only $5 and he LOVES the music from that movie.... SO George's letters were L and C... there are no pictures from his letters because he bought me a really cute lingere set but it was very much the WRONG size... has he not noticed that I have been working out the past 6 weeks and have lost weight and many inches???? He bought EXTRA large! I asked him if he noticed they were EXTRA LARGE and he honestly told me he did not notice... and then for his letter C he bought me Candy which I am not Eating at all... so I feel he tried but kind of missed the mark.. we did have fun passing each other in the store and trying to be secretive but I will be taking my things back and getting myself something that fits!!

I don't know whether to cry or shout for Joy

Logan has flown the coop, left the nest, movin on,...in plain and simple words, Logan has moved into his own house with his friend Cody. He is only 1/2 a mile or so from home but it is hard to realize that George and I are now true Empty Nester and you know it is kind of sad! I am happy for Logan and Cody and am hoping that they will be responsible have a great experience of learning to live on their own. It is just wierd to have NO kids here.... not sure I am likeing it all that much!! But that is part of being parents..raising good kids, teaching them to be responsible, kind, thoughtful, helpful adults and I can proudly say that those word represnt all my kids. I am very proud of them and LOVE them soo much.
So here is Logan and Cody's new home...needs some work but it is perfect for the two of them.

Logan is going to be a great chef!
