Our Baby Boy

Here is a 3-D ultrasound picture of our new baby boy. We didn't have 3-D with Camryn or Grant so this is new to us. He's pretty cute huh? ; )

Stinkin' Sooners

Luke went to bed an unhappy man last night. I guess the Sooners can't handle the pressure of big games. This picture was obviously taken before the game!

What's That Smell?

Grant and I ran to the store last Sunday evening and on the way home I thought I smelled something a little fruity coming from the backseat. I wasn't sure what it was until I got home and open Grant's car door. He had found Camryn's red chap stick that she had left in the car. I guess he thought it tasted pretty good!

It's A Boy!

We are so excited to be adding another sweet little boy to our family. This whole time I was so sure we were having another little girl and so was Luke. So when the ultrasound tech said "boy" I was shocked! We were so sure that we were having a girl that we haven't really thought too much about a boy's

name. So right now this little guy is without a name. For some reason we can come up with a bunch of girl names we like, but we can't agree on anything for a boy. I'm sure we will have it all figured out by the end of May...we better anyways! It will be great having another little boy...a playmate for Grant since they will be so close in age. The Dr. says he looks healthy and weighs about 13 oz. He looked so cute in the ultrasound images and they showed him to us in a 3D image which was so cool to see. This morning while I was in the shower Camryn ran in and said "MOMMY!! Today is the day we find out whether the baby is a girl or a boy. I sure hope it's a girl. I want a sister." I tried to prepare her just in case it was a boy and told her how much we loved Grant and and that another brother would be fun too. She said "Well, as long as he doesn't have dark skin." Apparently our daughter is a little prejudice. Not sure where that came from! I then had to explain to her that it's not really possible for Mommy and Daddy to have dark skinned babies since we are SO white! When I picked her up from school her first question was "So what is it mommy??" She was disappointed until I pulled out his ultrasound picture and a little outfit that Grant and I had gone and bought for him. She is now thrilled and has been planning a baby shower for me tonight after dinner. : )

Car Conversations With Camryn

"Hey Mommy?"
"Yes?"
"I need to go to JCPenney's."
"JCPenney's? For What"
"I need to get Dad a Christmas present."
"From JCPenney's? What are you wanting to get him?"
"A Christmas Shirt."

I can just see Luke wearing a Christmas shirt with little snowmen on the front of it, can't you?

"Mommy, how old is God?"
"Ummmm....well, He's always been. He's always existed. I guess you could say He doesn't have a birthday."
"MOMMY! God has a birthday, it's Christmas!!!"
"OH! You're right"

How do you explain this to a 4 year old?

For the past couple of weeks, when I've pick Camryn up from school she's been complaining of these kids that have been calling her a baby. After a couple of days of this I told her that she just needs to ask them nicely not to call her a baby anymore. The next day she came home and said that she talked to the little girl who had been calling her a baby and asked her not do it. The girl agreed and said they could be friends. Her exact words were "Mommy, I trained her not to call me a baby anymore, now I just have to train those 2 boys!" Yesterday she told me that one of the little boys she has now trained not to call her a baby. She now has one more left to train!

Grant's 1st Haircut

We finally gave our little Grant a haircut. I felt sad cutting that baby hair away, but it had to be done. It was starting to look like he had a little rat tail in the back. It looks a lot better. He did so good. I put in a Baby Einstein video and sat him up in his chair and snipped away. He sat so still. I was so glad because I had a lollipop to give him as a last resort. I didn't want to have to go down the lollipop road with him yet...he's still a little young for that. Some of these pictures Camryn took for me. She does quite well with the camera. : )

What A Day!

Camryn and Grant went to a friend's birthday party this afternoon at Pump It Up. We had never been before and had heard from our Dooley friends about it. What a cool place. Both of them had so much fun. Since Grant is so little I had to do everything with him so after an hour and a half of climbing and jumping I was pretty pooped. Grant and I sat down to put on his shoes and go into the party room for cake and popcorn. Next thing I know he is puking all over my arms and legs. I think he drank too much and then with all the playing it just came back up. So I smelt like puke the rest of the party and immediately came home and cleaned up. After dinner, I gave our sweet kids a bath. Our son decided to puke again in the bathtub with his sister in it. I quickly got her out and was getting her situated when I turned around and saw him taking a poop in the bathtub. Oh so gross!!! What is with this boy? Seriously!! I got him out, cleaned him up and then I had the lovely job of disinfecting all the toys and of course the bathtub too! I told Camryn that when she was little she pooped in the tub too. She laughed and said, "Yeah, when I was 4 I used to pee in the bathtub!" Umm...wait, you are 4! She said she doesn't do it anymore though!
