Did you get your tickets...

...to the GUN SHOW!?!

Braveheart.

All those rippling muscles and a sensitive side to! That's right, he's the total package!

Pantera quote of the day...

"I like Taylor Swift even if she steals your boyfriend!"

Ultasound

We went for an ultrasound today. Pantera walked into the room and asks "Is this where we are doing the ultasound?" The lady told her yes. Tera said "Do you want me to turn off the lights?" The lady was laughing and asked her if she has seen one before. Tera replied "I have been to lots of ultasounds." She is just that cool. We saw a baby in there and a heartbeat, so I can breathe a little easier. I am due in the middle of April. It still doesn't seem like it is real, it took us so long to get pregnant with Zeke. Ok I'm done rambling...

The move went great. Jess had several guys help him and they got most of it done in a night. We are still unpacking the odds and ends. I started painting the family room to cover up the orange sherbet color, just so I can sleep at night.

Yeah!!

Tomorrow at 11:15 AM we will be closing on our 1st house!!! I am so excited to have our own space! And even more excited to have a nice big yard for the kids to play in! Oh and the privacy, we currently live in a town made of duplex's with no fences need I say more? 1 more day!!! Wish us luck!

OFF TO THE RACES!

We had a great ward activity this week. They put together a "Night at the Drive-ins." Everyone was to make a cardboard car and they gave out ribbons for different categories then a 1st place ribbon. Pantera was so excited for the activity and I had alot of fun making her car. They read the winners and had each of them "drive" up the big road they built in the gym. Pantera won for "most likely to win the race" then was so thrilled to win the 1st place Lightning McQueen ribbon. Her face was priceless!!! She kept going up to people afterwards and asking them "Are you going to say congratulations?" She is such a dork. Then we watched a movie after it got dark out side on a big screen. I have said this so many times but, our ward is THE BEST!!! They like Jess and I, but they LOVE my kids and that means so much to me. Tera has also taken up talking like Froggy from the little rascals, it is very cute and funny.

Zeke is into everything and learning to climb. He is fearless and it scares me.

I just love this guy!

Uncanny!

I found these shoes on clearance for $3. I don't really care for the gladiator style but Pantera said "They are like a dream come true!" Especially after seeing Miley wear them, needless to say I am avoiding all of her vanity fair shots; the last thing I need is my 4 year old naked in a sheet, thanks Hannah Montana. She has been watching Little Rascals the past couple of days. She asked me yesterday "Can I watch Little Mandork again?" I asked her if she meant little rascals and she said "Oh, yeah." She also calls a spare in bowling a "splitstick," a strike is a "homerun," and of course the gutterball is properly pronounced "BUTTERBALL!" I beat Jess at Wii boxing the other night and Pantera started sobbing. It knocked her little universe off its axis. That night at bedtime she asks Jess "You are tougher then mom, right? I mean, you can beat her up, can't you?" She has been very stressed about this so Jess lied and told her that he could beat me up, which we all know he can't.

Trying not to get our hopes up until after I get an ultrasound, but exciting all the same. Life is so funny.

Amish

We had such a great week! My dad and my younger sister came out to visit us from Arizona. My dad's family are from out this way, it was really interesting to see all of the headstones with my maiden name on them! And little did I know, my brother Jake has been buried like 5 times!!! Ok, there were just alot of men in our family line with the same name, but it is still weird to see your living little brothers name on a headstone! One of the highlights of the trip was Pantera's monologue about boogers (not for the weak of stomach!) it went a little like this:
"I love boogers. They are just so sticky and soft. They taste like chocolate chips, slimy chocolate chips." She is so gross!!! I am so excited to tell her boyfriends about this!

I also got to see my first Amish person! It was so cool! I wish I could be more self-reliant like them, they are such a neat group of people. We went into a couple Amish markets, they had the best deals on there spices. I bought Tera a hand carved toy horse, she kept telling everyone that she got it "at a Amish yard sale." The only downside to the Amish community was no Hannah Montana. Luckily Pantera did several concerts for us when we got home. She forced my sister to dress up and called her "Lily" almost the entire trip. My dad got some pretty sweet footage of Tera "Rocking out" as she likes to call it. I am so glad we got to see them, but it went by way to fast! I will post more pics later!
