20 Week Ultrasound!

Meet our boy Hawk!! This is my 11 week ultrasound where the ultrasound technician, Monkey, and myself knew our new baby was going to be a boy!!! So for the past 2 1/2 months we have been calling our new little guy Hawk!! I could not believe how early we could tell so waiting for my 20 week ultrasound was nothing!!   

 So yesterday we went for my 20 week ultrasound! Hawk looks so good! I am so grateful this pregnancy has been everything but stressful unlike the last two times... Anyways the tech is calling him and boy we are telling Belle and Cash to look at Hawk and all of a sudden the tech goes, "UMMM he's a she!" I looked at her like she was crazy! I don't know how we knew it was a boy but.... WE ARE HAVING A GIRL!!! hahah my eyeballs almost fell out of my head. I looked at Belle and said," holy cow you are having a sister!" She didn't get it! She still thinks we are having a boy named Hawk! The whole time I wanted the tech to check again! IT'S A GIRL! 100%!!! We are so excited! I can't believe I was convinced it was a boy!

So here she is! The tech said she has super long arms and legs! And she said she had quite a big foot measuring at 3.5cm! What sweet little lady... not Hawk! She kept waving her hand and sticking her tongue out! Her profile is so beautiful! But I am her mother so I will always say that! I have 20 weeks left and if it goes by as fast as these last 20 weeks I will have her in no time! I am starting to get things ready... kind of! Belle and Cash will have to learn to share a room. Belle will be hopefully night potty trained! I have to get bows started, get a dresser, get a glider or couch, wash all Belle's baby clothes, painting, etc!!!! How exciting! There is no better feeling then being a new Mom! So much love for a tiny person you don't even know yet! Little lady probably Paige we are so excited for your arrival!

Bean Bags

Meet the new favorites! Grandma and Grandpa Mullins made these awesome bean bags for the kids! Now I can't get my kids out of them! They read in them, play with toys in them, watch shows with a drink and their blankets in them, want to eat dinner in them....etc. I think they are darling! I have come to love them as well. Every night when the kids fall asleep I slip on the couch and stick my massive swelled legs on one of these super soft bags and relax.... I am in paradise!! What a special gift! Thank you so much Grandma and Grandpa! I think these will be around for a very LONG time!

Cash's 2nd Birthday!

I can't even believe my little man is 2 years old! I have never seen a 2 year old quite so excited about his birthday! He woke up and the first thing he said was "cake... presents first!" Belle wasn't sure at first if she liked Cash having a birthday and not her! She cried here and there.... but then she moved on and she had to be by Cash's side the entire day! 

 We started Cash's birthday off with a surprise! Cash loves balloons! So I tried to make a balloon banner hahah it turned out ok... the best was he loved it, so it made all the blowing with it!! I put balloons all over the floor and the kids went nuts. They were so happy, which me really happy. We sat down for breakfast, to his favorite cereal Marshmallow Magic... better than lucky charms! Cash was so excited.... the boy left the cereal and ate like 100 marshmallows! I don't blame him the mallows are good! Then we played games and he wanted to watch Calliou- don't ask me why he likes that show so much. Then we packed up a picnic and went and picked up Monkey. We went to the library while we waited for him. Then in the drizzle rain we headed to a nature reserve lake...

Even though it was wet this was by far my favorite picnic we have ever had. We popped our hood up and pushed down our seats and pulled right up to the lake cause no one else was there! We threw crumbs to the birds and then the HUGE fish popped out! We were all so entertained! It was so gorgeous... and so peaceful!

That night Cash got to pick dinner and hahah he wanted a hot dog from Sonic! So we went! We all had good food and some tasty slushes... Belle had grape, Monkey had sour apple, Cash had blue coconut, and I had an orange dream slush!

What Cash was most excited for was his presents and cake... which we had to be done in that order. He opened all his presents which he loved but since he is so into basketball... his hoop was IT! He found true love at first sight! He played the rest of the night with that thing. Getting a little mad at Dad for whacking the ball out of his hands before he could make a basket and yelling, "NOT IN MY HOUSE!!" Belle thought it was funny and kept doing that with Dad... Cash just told him to be nice... and pushed him out of the way! I just laughed! Cash's cake hahah oh dear was a little like a easter egg instead of a basketball... but Cash did not seem to care! We had such a great day. I am dying that my youngest is 2! Time seriously goes so fast, I want to hold on to it so bad. Cash I don't know what I would do without you. You bring so much happiness and love into our family. I love watching you grow but please stay my little guy forever! I love you! Happy Birthday!

My 25th Birthday!

 My birthday... Let's just say I love birthdays! I love every holiday, but birthdays are the best! This year I felt pretty special! I was woke up by Belle running in with hot pink roses in her hand and Cash with a Maple doughnut in his! They were so excited! We all snuggled on my bed and ate doughnuts and sipped chocolate milk! Pretty good so far. Chloris my incredibly thoughtful and kind mother n law came and stayed the night with the kids so Monkey and I could have a little get away....

 We went to Portland and had a ball! This town kind of freaks me out but totally fascinates me at the same time! There is so much culture in Portland. I love the buildings! So old and they look 1930's... I would say Portland is it's own kind of town... nothing like it. We ended up walking the streets through all the shops... We ate lunch at the fancy Italian restaurant. I felt like I should have been wearing formal clothes, couple people were! Then we went to the world's biggest book store. It is an entire block long and three stories high. I didn't last long... so many people, little air, smelt weird, and I am pregnant!! Enough said! So I was a bit tired so we went into the bed shop and pretended to buy a bed... so I could rest! It was really fun acting like we were going to drop 4000$ on a bed... pretty rude too! Then we went to a Diners, Drive ins, and Dives (food network) little spot Blue Plate! We got their homemade sodas! I got this paradise dream in a cup and monkey got some crazy hibiscus drink! Lovely! We went and stopped by the river and enjoyed people watching and talking! Then we headed off to...

The BLAZER VS. NUGGETS game! I was the only Nuggets fan I felt in the whole stadium! I didn't care too much because I yelled my head off cheering until I realized Monkey was getting uncomfortable and the score was getting embarrassing! The Nuggets stunk the court up! I could even smell their stank from WAY up where we were sitting! NOSE BLEEDS BABY! haha Nose bleeds or not Basketball games rock! I don't think Monkey will want to go with me again unless we are going for the same team as the crowd! After the game we headed to our 30$ surprise hotel... Surprise!!! was not a joke... The guy working their seemed like he hunted crocodiles and he has cats... I didn't really want to look further! hahah at least the room was clean and we enjoyed subway and ice cream while watching food networks Chopped! I had a MARVELOUS birthday! Chloris thank you so much for taking so much time to come and watch them! Thank You! Thank You! And thank you Monkey for making me feel so special! Love you

America's got talent... Jones Style

Sorry video isn't very clear, I filmed some side ways and in the dark!!... hahah DON'T BE MAD MOM!!! hahah

This is ridiculous....

Always sick...

I have to say I am missing so badly these two little happy faces... Last Thursday out of no where Belle spiked a temp of 103.2 and it went all down hill from there. Before becoming a Mom I never knew in my wildest dreams that I would have thought I could worry and care about someone so much. Belle could not break her fever for 3 days.. then Sunday she did a bit then something went wrong. She spiked again in fever and coughed straight most of Saturday and all of Sunday. I have never in my life heard something that bad. She literally had 2 second breaks in between. Saturday night was awful for her... no relief no matter what I tried... which was everything. I found myself trying so hard not to completely loose my emotions completely... didn't happen... I couldn't stop crying every time I left her room. Saturday night the only way she got a bit of relief was me sitting straight up and her laying on my shoulder. I have never prayed so hard in my life. I thought something terrible was going to happen to Belle. Sunday I took her to the ER cause she was so much worse. She just laid there lifeless basically. They tried everything and sent us home with a bunch of medicine and thinking she had pneumonia. I brought her back and still she seemed to get worse... I had no clue what else the ER doctors could do but I headed back. They tried more things and she wasn't getting enough oxygen. She was just crying and screaming! I have never felt so useless and scared in my life. Finally the doctor said he was going to admit Belle into the hospital if she didn't improve fast. I prayed my heart out... not the hospital. I honestly could not handle seeing her in the hospital after everything that has happen. Honestly out of the blue while breathing in some saline solution she started smiling and talking about the Disney princesses. Her oxygen was in the 90's and she didn't have to go to the hospital. We stayed for 3 hours and got to go home! We got into bed and she started coughing again.... I sobbed. She could not fall asleep... just crying and crying, Monkey tried to hold her to sleep on him... nothing was helping... I finally realized we couldn't do anything... So we just said a pray and put her in his hands! I fell asleep that night saying over and over in my head that she's going to be okay! Everyone in the house finally fell asleep and today Belle is so much better!! She hardly coughed, she slept till noon, slept again from 3-6pm, ate, and now is asleep for the night! I am overly grateful right now! Even though Cash has been coughing all day and has a temp... and threw up and has ear infections in both ears (found out at the doc today...) I am still so grateful! Honest I know Heavenly Father is the only reason she is okay right now! I am so grateful that I know that he lives. I am so looking forward to smiles and laughing again!! And a special thanks to all my friends- Seriously I don't even know how they found out (probably calling people to help give a blessing to Belle)... but I had cookies at my door, dinner brought Sunday night, a loaf of homemade bread, texts, and calls! And I never called one person. I seriously have the most caring selfless friends! Thank you!
