SHAKE WHAT YOUR MAMA GAVE YOU!!!

Abby has her first dance recital this Saturday, but had her rehearsal and pictures yesterday. I don't know what happened to her, but as soon as I did her hair put on a little make-up and got her all dressed she turned into a little diva!! She wouldn't stop "performing" and when I got out the camera she started right away posing!!! She loves to dance and at her rehearsal I got a little preview and she is sooo cute. She knows exactly what to do! The video is at home right before we left of our little dancing diva!!!

So we have been taking advantage of the really nice weather lately. Before it gets very hot and I don't want to go outside as much with me being as HUGE as I am!! We went to pick strawberries not too long ago for the second time this season. We plan to go again I am sure!!! Abby asks everyday to go. We also got the girls a little pool for the backyard that has already gotten a lot of use. We cant wait for my sister Lauren to come visit in June. Then the girls will have someone to play with that can move around a lot better than me when Daddy leaves for 6 weeks.

madame zaritska

so lately I haven't been able to sleep much..so tonight on such an occasion I had nothing better to do than to just be on the computer and came across Madame Zaritska who predicts your labor and delivery. You answer a few really random questions like the last animal you saw and whatever..never asks the sex of the baby or anything to do with previous pregnancies. Anyway, this is what she has predicted for me:
Madame Zaritska, our resident clairvoyant, wants to help you prepare for the arrival of your child. Here she does her best to predict certain aspects of your labor and birth experience.

What she senses for you
The day you deliver, outside will be breezy. Your baby will arrive in the early evening.

After a labor lasting approximately 10 hours, your child, a boy, will be born. Your baby will weigh about 10 pounds, 6 ounces, and will be 21 inches long. This child will have dark brown eyes and be almost bald.

But there is more. I sense that there are some ideas and emotions you cannot quite put a finger on.

So a 10 1/2 pound baby huh? Well the doctors say he will be big, But I definately don't do 10 lbs!!!! Are you kiddding me?!?! So I guess we will see just how certain this madame zaritska is.

im so lucky

I just wanted to brag a little about the beautiful flowers I got this week. The first were a "just because" from Aaron. Abby was with him when he bought them and he told her they were a present for me...so first thing Abby did when they gave them to me was to sing Happy Birthday, because I guess she thinks your birthday is the only time you get presents. The second oh so beautiful bunch of flowers is from Abby. She picked them herself and arranged them all by herself too. I just love them and really don't care that they are really weeds and that they are probably (among other things) what are making me sneeze so much around the house all the sudden. It was just so thoughtful of my sweet Abby and my sweet husband and that is why I am soooo lucky!!!

funny sleeper

So Emma is our funny little sleeper. She can fall asleep at such odd times. Like for instance I think since January she HASN'T fallen asleep in nursery twice now. And the other day while Aaron and Abby were at one of Aaron's soccer games I got Emma something to eat only to come back 5 minutes later to find her fast asleep still clutching her spoon. I desperately tried to wake her up seeing that it was only 6pm and not quite bedtime and didn't want to chance a very early wake up call the next day, but no good. She was out!!! Our next big adventure with Emma and sleep is getting a "big girl bed" very very soon. So that should be fun!!

5th Anniversary

Tomorrow April 26th is our 5th anniversary!!! I saw this "questionnaire" on a friends blog and thought it couldn't be better to do on such an occasion (thanks shari)
WHAT IS HIS NAME? Aaron Robert
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN MARRIED? 5 years!!!
HOW LONG DID YOU DATE? We only dated 3 months before we were engaged.
WHO EATS MORE SWEETS? I would have to say that is a tie. We both cant resist cookies and milk after the girls go to bed.
WHO SAID I LOVE YOU FIRST? ummm honestly I don't remember. I am sure it was him though:)
WHO IS TALLER? Aaron is, but there is a reason you dont see me in very tall shoes much.
WHO CAN SING BETTER? For sure that is Aaron. I admit that I have a pretty crappy singing voice.
WHO IS SMARTER? OK as much as I would like to say that is me...Aaron gets this one too.
WHO DOES THE LAUNDRY? I am thinking I shouldn't have started this because it is starting to make me look bad, but I hate laundry. I can start it, but just have a hard time finishing it. This is one thing that drives Aaron crazy so he does a lot of laundry too.
WHO PAYS THE BILLS? That would be Aaron again. But he was a banker before he was in the military so...He just does it so well that I just let him do it.
WHO SLEEPS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE BED? I am a weird sleeper, we dont really have side of the bed..it is more of a he sleeps wherever I dont want to that night. I switch it up a lot. This makes him crazy too, especially if he comes into bed later and its dark and finds me on "his side"..sorry!
WHO COOKS DINNER? I do, unless its something that has to be grilled then that is all Aaron. He does help out a lot though.
WHO DRIVES? Aaron does. I just really hate to drive.
WHO IS MORE STUBBORN? I guess that depends on which one of us you ask..I say Aaron.
WHO KISSED WHO FIRST? Again, not so sure. I think we just both knew it was coming and well we just kissed each other. So umm yeah
WHO ASKED WHO OUT FIRST? Aaron and I never really dated at first we just sort of "hung out" everyday!! I did notice him first and told my friend that I wanted to go out with him, Aaron didn't ask only because he thought that I had a boyfriend at the time. So I don't know somehow it just happened.
WHO PROPOSED? Again, that all depends on who you ask. The first time Aaron and I were apart for longer than 24 hours was when he went back home to Missouri for Thanksgiving. That is when we both decided that we wanted to marry each other. He says that I said the words while talking on the phone "will you marry me" I dont remember it exactly that way, but even if I did I dont think that counts. Aaron officially asked me in December..with a ring and everything. It wasn't the setting he had originally planned out, but hey I didn't know what he was trying to do and had just had a really bad day at work and just wanted to get to bed!
WHO WEARS THE PANTS? I think Aaron and I have a pretty good 50/50 relationship when it comes to wearing the pants.

Well I hope you enjoyed that. I just feel so lucky to have the husband I do and I love him very much!!! Happy Anniversary!!!
