Catching up!

So I clearly have not blogged in a while and so much has happened it seems impossible to write it all down so I am just going to post a bunch of pictures and give you a quick summary. We moved back to Oceanside went to disneyland a few times, Mike went to Yuma for training for 6 weeks, the kids and I went to Utah. We are now back in Oceanside and Shelby is getting bigger and Andrew has been in and out of potty training but with all the moving around is still struggling (any suggestions??) and Sydney is just getting cuter and cuter!!! Now that we are back for a while I am going to try and get back into this but this is a start!!!!

Lots of pictures!

So here are a bunch of pictures and I am not going to elaborate on each one, I am sure you can figure them out! There are Shelby pictures (the best that I can get with my camera) and there is a picture of Sydneys last day of preschool in Pensacola, and there are pictures of Mikes winging ceremony. I got to pin him and it was cool!!! Anyway enjoy the pictures!!!

Shelby is here!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shelby is here and she is spectacular!!! Shelby was born on Jan 15th at 3:00, she weighed 7 lbs 2 oz and 20 inches long! I was induced and started the pitocin at 11:00, they broke my water at 1:00 and then they started the epidural at 1:30ish. I was feeling pretty good and then my mom got to the hospital and then at 2:30 I was at a 5 centimeters and then it started to hurt real bad. The epidural was not working and I was feeling the pressure to push and then all of a sudden the room was filled with people and I was screaming to push! Then in about 2 pushes she was here and was all tangled in the cord! She was looking great but was not making any noise! She soon was making little squeaks but that was it and I have still not heard her cry. She is super chill and loves to sleep and seriously she has not cried yet but makes little squeaks when she needs something! Sydney and Andrew and my dad got to the hospital around 4:00 and were sooooo excited to see Shelby! They were sooo sweet and tender and so excited and loved looking at all her tiny little fingers and ears and nose and tongue!!!!

These are some pictures that Mike took and I will try and get some more pictures from my dads camera when I get the chance. I am feeling great and things are going well! Shelby is doing great and sure loves her sleep we have to wake her to get her to eat but I know that will change soon enough! Thanks to everyone for your love and support!!

Another post to come soon!!!

Shelby is almost here!

Okay so I thought that I would go ahead and show the world how prego I am! I am 38 weeks in this picture. I am totally ready to go and will be induced on the 15th if I don't go sooner on my own. I am so excited to meet this little girl! We are still thinking Shelby will be her name! Anyway it is true I have gained 50 + pounds this pregnancy pushing to my all time high! I am going to have some work to do after she comes out! It is okay as long as she is healthy! Sydney prays that Shelby will come soon everyday, I truly appreciate her faith!!

The other picture is Andrew playing rock band, we got it for Christmas and he loves it!!! Sydney is showing off her picture from school that she so proudly displayed in the living room and we were having an experiment with her hair, it did not work out. If anyone know the show little Bill, Andrew told Sydney that she looked like April!!!

Well I will keep baby progress posted the best I can! Wish me luck!!!

Andrew turns 3!!!

Mr. Andrew turned 3 today and I cannot believe it! We had a great day, he got to open presents first thing (unlike poor Sydney who waited all day) and then we played with them. Then we went to a decent (for Pensacola standards) mexican restaurant for lunch where they brought him fried ice cream, after which he gave the waitress and thumbs up and blew her a kiss. Then we went and saw Bedtime Stories, it was a funny show and I would recommend it to all. We came home and has McDonalds for dinner and then cake and ice cream. Andrew requested a blue cake and I made it into a Blue Angel cake! I am so creative!!! Anyway he loved having Happy Birthday sung to him and he is very excited about being 3! I just can't believe that he is going to sunbeams next week!

Andrew is a super sweet little man. He loves to be happy and he truly is happy 90 % of the time and that other 10% well he is a boy and then there are things that go wrong in life! He loves to tease me and everyone when he get the chance his favorite is when I tell him I love him he says, I love daddy, and then giggles! He loves sports and his big sister he even plays princess and tea party with her. I love Andrew so much and he is a such an important part of our family! I know he has lots in store for the future!!! Happy Birthday Andrew I love you!!!!

Here are some pics from today. Sydney was just showing him how to open the presents!!!
