NOT me Monday!

Well I follow an incredible blog called MckMama and every Monday she has a Not me Monday where we lovely mommies can confess what we did NOT do this week. :) Today my Not me Monday is about my aversion to leaning over the bathtub. So in the last few weeks baths have become something I dread as this basketball sized lump under my shirt becomes more pronounced and my back becomes more achey giving baths has become a not so nightly thing anymore. So no way am I the mother who slapped baby lotion all over her squirmy toddler so he would smell delicious and oh so fresh without giving him a bath, No Not Me! I would never do something so appalling just for my own comfort, and I would never ask my 5 year old to wash his little brother in the shower so I could sit and read the last few pages of my book while sitting in the bathroom listening to the scrubbing yet not participating in it. These are the things that any good Mother would certainly not do! So for my NOT me Monday for sure I did not do either of them several times this week! :) Everyone knows I am perfect, right? :)

Just some older pictures so show off my babies!

A little update on us!

The picture is of Mason at around 10 months old. I love the pic but I surely was going to kill my husband when I saw him do this! :)


Well I am now 34 weeks pregnant! Woohoo! It is getting so exciting to think I am going to have a new little baby in a few short weeks. :) Miller weighed in at 5lbs 2oz at my 33 week ultrasound so he is growing wonderfully! I have lots of fluid (21) and his head is in the 93 percentile! :) So no tiny peanut this time! With Christmas coming soon we are enjoying every minute of this wonderful weather and holiday spirit around our neighborhood. The kids are loving playing outside in the backyard and the fresh air is so wonderful for them they could stay out there for hours and I get to curl up to a good book on the couch with the breeze from out back coming in while the kids play, there is nothing better! This is the last week of school for Jesse and Jackson and then they each have 2 weeks off! Which will be grand! We are going to be spending Christmas in Phoenix this year staying with Jesses parents and switching over to my parents for sometime too. It will be a little vacation for the kids since we only live an hour from the grandparents they never get to have Christmas away from our own home this year we are going to write Santa a letter to let him know we will be at Grandma Salsa's so he doesn't pass us up :)

Oh sibling love!

I love Callie's face in this picture it is a little of you better stay right here because mom is taking a picture and about 10% the gritting the teeth I love you sooo much face! lol Mason boogers and all just wanted to get away from his sisters deathly grip but at least I got the cute snapshot before he escaped! :)

Loving the cozy xmas sleeper

There is nothing sweeter than an adorable boy in his cozy Christmas pajamas. I love them and I will keep him in these sleepers as long as he will tolerate them because come on he just can't get any cuter than this!!

Boys night out

Jackson and his daddy had there first of many nights out at the Suns game. Jackson had the time of his life and even got an ice cream from his Aunt during halftime. He is getting so big and looking more like his daddy everyday. Jesse wanted it to be such a special night he declined an invitation from his buddies to sit with them because he wanted to have his night with just his big boy! Definitely one of the sweetest things a daddy can do, give his time.

4 is the perfect number

These are 3d images of our precious baby boy due to make his arrival in a few weeks. My handsome hubby and I were talking last night and we have decided that 4 was the number we were striving for all along, when and how each of these beautiful blessings came to us was definitely in God's hands and we wouldn't have it any other way. We love feeling baby Miller move under my tired tummy muscles and we can not wait to meet his ten toes and fingers. And I can't wait to smell his sweet baby breath, there is nothing like a just breastfed baby sleeping in your arms. WE KNOW everyone of our babies was brought to us on purpose and we will forever be greatful for every stinky diaper, temper tantrum, and sweet baby screaming in the middle of the night. We love you Jackson, Callie, Mason and baby Miller and this year we have slowed down enough to realize just how much we have to be thankful for.
