Randomness

Jacob loves to get into everything. It's cute sometimes. The other day he got this skillet out and carried it around for a long time. Then he found some toys and climbed in it. I'm not sure what he was pretending it was, but it was really cute.
I'm pretty sure that Jared is also pregnant. This is my first pregnancy that he has had symptoms with me. He has gained weight, felt sick on the same days I have, had hot flashes and eats some seriously strange food. There are more things, but I won't get into all of them. His favorite snack is pickles and shredded cheese- together. My strangest craving so far is apples.

Doctor appointment

I had a doctor's appointment today. I was glad it was early this morning so we could get home early and miss traveling in the snow. Everything seems to look good, although I am measuring small. He decided to do an ultra sound to get measurements. She measures perfect. In fact, he said he thinks she weighs around 4 lbs. He did another 3D ultra sound. These weren't as good as the first because she had her hand in her face, but here is the best shot he could get...

The black and white is a side shot of her face and the 3D part is her face.

Some stuff...

This Monday and Tuesday was Luke's Star Student days at school. During those two days he was able to take pictures, games, snacks and have people go eat lunch with him. Jared and I have been up to eat with him before, but this time he could have other people too. On Monday, my Mom went with me and we met Jared to eat lunch with him. Today I picked my Dad up and he ate lunch with us. It was fun to hang out with him and his class and to visit with his teacher.

We bought bunnies on Saturday while we were in McCook. They are adorable!! I also took the bunnies up to the school with me today for Luke's class to see. They seemed to love them!

Mike, Cami, Morgan and Chase came to McCook on Saturday. Mike was the hypnotist at the Wauneta- Palisade Prom. For more information on him you can go to the site- www.thehypnomike.com

Luke and Chase. They look A LOT alike!

All the kids love to hang out with Aunt Cami!

Little people

The boys have been loving the nice weather we are having. I'm really hoping we don't have too many cold days left because I don't think I will be able to keep them inside. They are ready for Spring and Summer.

Today I was getting clothes out for them to wear. It was the second set of clothes for the day and I decided to find them some shorts. As I was chasing Nathan, Matthew put on the shirt I had picked out for Nathan. It didn't fit- at all. He refused to let me change it. Then he put his boots on- the wrong foot- and headed out the door. So, Nathan decided he wanted to wear Matthew's shirt. It looked like he was wearing a dress, and had nothing on under.

Luke enjoying the afternoon. He really looks good in blue.

Matthew and his fashion statement.

Grandma Tami came over to play with the boys while I painted. All I could hear was everyone laughing. I think they had fun!

Nathan with dirt all over him.

The boys have a new game. It is called throwing dirt, grass and leaves at each other. They chase each other around the yard and sometimes into the house throwing it at each other. They do a lot of laughing, which is why I haven't stopped it yet.

Jacob has been incredibly helpful this week. Here he is helping Mom paint. He did such a wonderful job. He also helped me do bookwork. He shut my computer off while I was working and I lost 5 months of bookwork. He is a good helper!

Here he is helping Mom keep the floor clean. The best part about his help is his smile. He always has a huge smile on his face, which is why it is so hard to get upset!

We took a quick trip to Kearney. We had promised Matthew we would take him to the pool if he started using the "big boy toilet". He still hadn't forgot about it, and asked us on a daily basis if we could go to the pool now. So, we loaded up and headed to Kearney one night at 5. It was a quick trip, but I think they had fun in the pool.

Jacob didn't like the pool. He only let Jared walk him around after sitting on my lap for over an hour....

A post for Aunt Katie

Aunt Katie and Uncle Shane bought the boys some John Deere sweatpants for Christmas 2007 (A year and a half ago). Unfortunately, even though the sizes were what they normally wore, the pants were huge on all of them. Today we got them out and tried them on again. They actually fit pretty well now! Of course Luke had to find his John Deere shirt too!!

I love this picture. It's so very typical of my boys.

Updates

Another crazy week come and gone. I have no idea where the time goes! We started a new project this week. I will post more on it later.

After taking this picture I realized that Jacob's head is almost bigger then Nathan's. Nathan is our only child who didn't get the Vrbas head. Lucky kid!!

Jared needed a little nap and Matthew decided hanging with Dad is more fun than bath time.

Our little man with his shoes. We have a very hard time finding shoes for our children. They all have a very high arch, so finding shoes that fit is next to impossible. This was the first time Jacob not only wore shoes, but walked in them. He was a pro in no time.

The boys eating breakfast Dad cooked them. It's our weekend ritual for Dad to cook us breakfast. I think we all enjoy it.

Nathan and his cars. This kid has an obsession. He has to eat, sleep, breath cars.

I made a quick trip to the doctor today. They did another ultra sound. Everything looks good. To my surprise the doctor said her feet were up near her head. Instead of the usual fetal position she has her legs straight and they expand the length of her body to her head. OUCH!! I know it isn't a big deal for them, but that has to seriously be uncomfortable. She also did another 3-D ultra sound, but since the pictures are pretty close to the ones from the other week I won't post them.

Here is her leg stretched to her head.
