Cry if you want to

I want to cry like never before.... and that is so not me. This pregnancy is throwing me in directions that I have never been before and I don't like it. I bawled at the end of the movie "Cars" the other day. You know, when Mcqueen goes back to help The King cross the finish line. Bawled. I read an email from Tyler's school about a girl that had a heart attack and they were encouraging everyone to take care of their "school" Family. Bawled. We got more snow yesterday and we can't go outside today. Bawled.
This may seem normal to everyone out there but you don't understand who I am. I DO NOT CRY. Well, unless I am sick and my mom calls me!! But mostly I am a non cryer. I think my husband is going crazy.... don't you laugh a lot when you start to go crazy? My kids don't know who I am and are always looking at me weird.
And you know what my husband tells me..... suck it up! Well, give me 8 or so months and I will suck it up.

Oh, and this picture makes me want to cry. This is me prego with Barry about a week before he final arrived. Can one really get this big. Why yes I can!

Random Cuteness

The girls love jumping on the beds but are always being told not to. So what do we do when we go to a Hotel? We jump on the bed!

Barry is a huge fan of Hallie and Annie. He loves to be with them. He loves to climb up and sit with Hallie to watch a movie! I love the hand on the knee.

Annie loves to play with ALL her dolls. She lines them up on the couch then teaches them.

Barry has mastered the climbing up and down of the stairs. Only fell one time so far.

Tyler has been doing a workout program called P90X and the girls love to do it with him. Well, Hallie loves to do it with him and Annie loves to play house while they workout. Notice
the dolls in my slippers. They are taking a nap!

Happy Birthday Annie

I know this is over a week late but life has not been easy lately. Anyway, Here is a big shout out to our new 4 year old! She was so excited for her birthday to come and has been planning her party invite list for at least 8 months. Which changed daily according to who was being nice to her or not. Hallie was probably invited and uninvited a million times.
She had a great day and loved all the attention. When it was time for bed she said "does this mean my birthday is over?" She took advantage of every possible second of the day. Starting with school and taking treats to having her very first birthday princess/prince party.

We love having Annie in our home and laugh everyday at the things she says and does. She is our little helper and loves to be the big sister to Barry. Which means she is even more excited for this new baby to come. I love how Annie loves to read books, love how she loves me to watch movies with her, love her love of jumping and turning on and off lights, love her adorable laugh, love how she is the best compliment giver ever, love how she isn't afraid to say what she believes, and love that I get to be her mom.
