Still no baby!

I'm sure you are all wondering if I have a new little one yet... but sadly I am still fat, pregnant, and feel like a ticking time bomb, or a watched pot. All three of my other babies came on their due date. So, I was slightly stunned when yesterday came and went and not a cramp, wince, or any sign of baby #4. I went to the doc today he said we would induce on Monday at 4:30 am if nothing happens before then. I have to say I am loosing confidence in my ability to have this baby on my own. You would think after 4 it would be falling out of me. This one seems to have it's own agenda and is not ready to be cut loose from the cord. Please send pain my way with voodoo dolls, or prayer, or witchcraft... whatever it takes to get this baby out!

We had some pictures taken a couple of weeks ago by a good friend. Thought we would share them. Otherwise, school has started and we are busy getting everyone where they need to be. Can't wait to have this baby, maybe then I can take a deep breath and get some time off!

Fourth in Flag

So this week was another busy week. We celebrated my 30th birthday! ( Not that anyone needs to know that.) We went to Flag for the fourth of July. We barely remembered yesterday was our 13 year anniversary! Lots of good friends showed up in Flag, so our days were packed with going from place to place. We managed to squeeze in some downtown bummin' ( found an amazing little creperie, you'll have to try it), the horse races, and even Sedona!

More cute pics

So many cute pics! I had to squeeze a few more in from San Diego. Although, I am not very smart at this blog thing so I can't figure out how to make captions, not that I have really tried just no time. So deal with it!

Summer Vacations

We've been so busy, it's hard to update. The kids are on a modified year round school schedule so they don't have a lot of time off, so we are trying to cram in a lot of stuff in a short amount of time. We spent 4 days in San Diego with my Dad and Maggy. The kids had a blast. Mostly just sitting by the beach, eating, sitting by the beach some more and of course eating! Our days revolved around what time of day it was so what food would be next!

Wive's Tales

I've been researching some wive's tales about how to know if you are having a boy or girl. Just wanted to see if anyone out there knew what they were having based on certain "symptoms". Let me know! :)

update

The kids are out of school for summer. I can't tell you how much I miss sleeping in. I will continue to take full advantage of it before the baby comes.
Celeste is in tennis for the summer. So far, it's been fun. But I think she needs some glasses. She has them but refuses to be seen in them. I might try to see if she is ready for contacts. Her first practice she hit her own ball right into her eye! I couldn' t help but laugh out loud. She also takes a baysitting class this week, maybe she'll learn how to be less bossy with the boys. She loves to be "in charge". She will be starting Jr. High in July, she's very excited!
Clayton just finished up his baseball season. They had a tournament and just crushed every team. The last game they lost by one point. The boys were so bummed. I can't believe how competitive and stressful it can be at 8! Scares me to think what will happen when he's 15 or so. Funny story... Russ rented Indiana Jones with them, so thought that would be a great time to learn more about the 10 commandments! When I got home from work the next morning Clayton was so excited to be telling me what he had learned. My favorite commandment he remembered was, Thou shall not love thy neighbor's wife!! I couldn't stop laughing.
Jonathon is a busy boy. Finished up his first year of preschool and can't wait to go again. He keeps asking me why I won't take him to school today. He just doesn't get the whole summer break thing. It's still nice enough in the evenings to take the kids to the park and get some of their energy out before bedtime. Soon it will be too hot to do much of anything! We will be going to San Diego at the end of June, and Flag at the beginning of July, so it will give us a much needed time away from this heat!
Russ and I are struggling to think of some names. Boy, are they different. If he had it his way he thinks it is a boy so he wants to name the poor kid after a baseball stadium. I hope we start to narrow it down soon! Although, let's be honest... I'm having this baby so in the end I am pretty sure it will be up to me! Any suggestions for good names would be greatly appreciated. I'll post pictures soon!
