*Morgan is turning into such a big boy. And he is ALL boy - playing in the dirt, throwing rocks, getting into trouble, sneaking snacks.....he would live outside if I let him. The other day we had let our dog out to run around and I didn't see Morgan for a while. I go around the side of the house to the kennel and he's inside there with his arms in Bogie's water bucket up to his elbows just splashing away. I was so grossed out. He doesn't go anywhere without his hat and recently Riley gave him an old pair of his sunglasses to wear around but instead of wearing them, he puts them on top of his hat (just like his dad). My favorite thing he says right now is when I tell him that I love him, he'll reply "t00", as in "love you too". It is the most adorable thing ever. He still blows me kisses when he leaves, I hope he keeps that up for a while.
*I have to go get my blood drawn today. It is one of my least favorite things to do and I always have to warn them that I get queasy and could pass out on them. It really has nothing to do with getting grossed out, I can watch other people get stitches, shots, and all other nasty things. The blood leaving my body for some reason actually makes me feel sick. When I was a senior in high school I gave blood to get extra credit in some class and ended up passing out and having convulsions. I barely made the weight requirement so I think that had something to do with it, but it was not a fun experience. When I was pregnant with Kendle and they were taking my blood I almost passed out and had to lay down for a while. I always keep candies or something to drink with me now when I go.
*We made our "Summer Fun List" last night and we brainstormed all sorts of fun things we want to do this summer. A few things from our list:
-Go mini golfing
-Make home made ice cream
-Have a back yard camp out
-Go to the zoo
-Go to the aquatic center (I vow to do this more than once this year since the kids love it)
-Do arts and crafts
-Lay out and watch for falling stars
*Kendle is so ready for school to be out. I have to drag her out of bed in the morning and she is pretty grumpy. I think every kid gets this way by the end of May. It is really a waste to go two more weeks into the month of June when nobody wants to be there. The kids brains are already gonzo and ready for summer break. Bed time starts getting really hard when it's still light outside too. Our bodies are just programmed to want to stay up later in the summer months I think.
*I finally got some tomatoes and other things planted over the weekend with Riley's help. I look forward to watching the plants grow over the summer. Since I don't have space for a traditional garden, I just planted them in my rock border along our back fence. It is a good spot that gets lots of sun. Hopefully they grow, because nothing is better than a warm sun ripened tomato picked fresh.
*I'm 12 weeks along now and starting to feel a little better each day. It makes such a difference to be able to eat good normal food again. The difference in this pregnancy than the other two besides being more sick, is that my stomach growls all of the time. If I don't eat on a regular schedule and have snacks in between I start to feel really sick. This baby wants food and it wants it NOW. It's like on "Little Shop of Horrors" when the plant is yelling "feed me Seymour, feed me!"

I'm so happy for you that you're starting to feel better. I too am 12 weeks now, and it's slowly getting better every day. Thank goodness!!
We'll have to make another trip up and do a few of those fun summer plans with you! Glad you are starting to feel better. Any fun plans for Morgan's birthday?
I'm so glad that you starting to feel better. We need to get together, it's been too long without my friend around! I hear ya on the school being out. We are ready for summer too. Good Luck with the blood draw today. So not fun!
I'm so glad you are feeling better! It's only up hill from here (until month 9 anyway).
The aquatic center in ML? I happen to know someone who would love a visit when you go!
Kaden has been asking since last August when we are "going to go to Oregon again." Translation? When are we going to the Hermiston Aquatic Center? Maybe we should try it together this year.
Hey, you could have been talking about me dragging out of bed each morning. I am sooo ready to be out of school.
It must be a boy! Eating all the time! I feel ya about having to eat all the time or i get sick too.
I am glad to hear that you are feeling a little bit better.
