An almost restful day

one king size bed covered in warm snuggli blankets + one tigger movie + one container full of goldfish + one black dance rea-tard(leatard) + one baby Belle + 2 sweet sisters and a really tired mom = an almost restful day. :)

Well today is wednesday, a day I dread because as of right now I have no sitter for wednesday and that means that I get to come home after working a 10 1/2 hour shift and start my real job, MOM. haha Oh so needless to say wednesdays have become movie watching, eating snacks in bed kind of days. I know I am such a bad mother :( Any who these are some pics from our afternoon of laziness. Ps this is pretty much all my baby wants to wear these days, we have a few from when Jayda did ballet and then a couple in the dress ups and some how she manages to sneak them on every single day and what a battle it is to change her. haha she is a funny one. ps she calls them her "rea-tards". hahaha

Nothing much

Well not a lot of major stuff has been going on the last little while which is probably a good thing. Michaels elk hunt is finally over! Yae. He got a pretty good bull not the one he wanted but not to shabby either. Im just happy to have my personal slave/hubby back. haha Thats what he has felt like since he got home any ways. hey you know what every pregnant woman deserves a personal slave right. :)


So these are just some cute random photos but my girls love to help me in the kitchen so this was us making dinner this week. I was frying bacon for potato soup so I threw on my apron and of course that means my girls both need to get theirs on as well. What funny little things they are. So I know my kids really look like homeless children lately but man am I exhausted all of the time so I have a feeling that for the next 7 1/2 months this is what they will continue to look like. haha

Welcome!!!!

Well its a little late but I just wanted to formally welcome Brittney into the family. The Abbott bunch is crazy, overwhelming and a little bit out of control but I couldnt have picked a better, funner, more loving and accepting family to marry into. I am so excited to have you as my sister in law and look forward to many great years to come!!!!

Mikelles big news!!!!!

Ok well I guess I better add a little bit more to this unexpected post. We are not due forever!!!!!!Well thats how it feels any way, it will be the end of April or beginning of May so that puts me at just 7 1/2 weeks. I know its early to be announcing this but for those of you who know me you know I cannot keep suprises to myself. So were in for a long winter but a very exciting spring! :) For those of you who asked, thanks so much and no I have not been sick at all. Whew. I am really lucking out so far, I am a little more tired than usuall, have an up and down appetite and am a little bit less patient (not hard to do) haha but over all I am feeling great! Plus my cha-chas have grown like 2 sizes already, woot woot who doesnt love that! :) Thanks again for all of your responses and we will keep you posted!!!! Oh and ps we will deffinetly find out what we are having, like I said bad at suprises, but Michael already knows its a boy which explains why he already has the color scheme and theme of the babies room all picked out and ready to purchase. haha :) You just gotta love that guy.
