Trick Gum

I brought each of the kids home something special from my trip to Las Vegas. I didn't want my hubby to feel left out so I brought him home a package of trick gum. I figure the guys at work would get a kick out of it. It is trick gum because it gives you a little shock when you try and pull out the stick of gum. I don't think the kids understood what was "tricky" about the gum (I even warned them of the shocking to follow)because the oldest two tried to pull the gum and recieved a little bolt of electricity! I had been home less than an hour and had made all of the kids cry because they didn't like getting shocked. The little one was just crying because everyone else was... Way to go, Mom! Welcome home...

Las Vegas!

I spent the weekend in Las Vegas with my mom and three sisters. We saw Celine Dion... which was amazing, she has incredible talent! Mamma Mia was so fun... the music brings back great memories! The Cheesecake Factory is always delicious... Relaxing at the pool ~ without a dozen kids was a great way to spend the day!

Cool Runnings...

At first they were riding their bikes...

But the sled seemed more fun!

Doesn't this picture remind you of the movie about the Jamaican Bobsled team?

Book suggestion, please!

In a week I will be flying across the country to meet my mom and sisters in Vegas for a little weekend away. It will be the first time in 8 years that I have flown without children, and I am concerned (not really, though) about what I will do with those five hours. Reading a good book sounds like a good choice! I can skim through celebrity gossip magazines for awhile, but not for five hours... there and back! So, all those who check in on my blog...

Please leave me your suggestion

for a good read!

ULTRASOUND Results

Some of you might like to know...

Don't be offended that we didn't tell you sooner about it!

The choice was ours to make!

These are ultrasound pictures of my three kids...

It is not what you might have been thinking!

I've had a lump in my armpit since I stopped nursing ~

I know it has been nearly a year since I stopped nursing...

Let's save the procrastinator comments for another time!

I finally made it in to see my doctor and was referred to a

breast health center where they did an ultrasound on my

**you know whats**

This was not at all as exciting as when having an

ultrasound when you are pregnant - in fact, I think it has

completely ruined ultrasounds for me in the future!

The doctor called me today and the results are normal...

whew, I can now stop worrying and breathe a little easier ~

It has been stressing me out quite a bit lately!

Our new pet...

The kids have always wanted a pet.

Today we found one, and the little monkey tried stepping on it.

We caught it in a jar... the jar has breathing holes in the lid.

Our big girl now keeps the frog in her room next to her bed!

I am kidding...

We let the frog go about 3 minutes after catching it!

Amusement Park

The kids always have a great time when we

take them to the amusement park near us.

Often when they ride these little boats, our little guy tries to stick his hands in the water... which totally freaks me out!

I took this picture from far away because I wanted to show how they were the only kids on the airplanes, and it was funny to see all the planes on the ground except for theirs. When they were finished riding, I asked if they could ride again ~ there was nobody in line... He made the kids get off the ride, walk around back to stand in line and then get back on... it was a little strange! Yes, that is our baby sucking down orange soda!

I know, I know... I am a good mom! They love going on this ride. Kailey laughs the whole time saying it "tickles her belly" They love the water park. They love to watch as the big bucket gets filled with water and then dumps on everyone!

I HAD MY HAIR CUT TODAY...

I went in with the People Magazine...

the one with Katie Holmes on the cover.

I asked for her cut!
