{easter eggs & such...}

we had a wonderful easter weekend.

we kicked it off saturday afternoon coloring some eggs...

tate kept calling the eggs balls before chucking 'em, so needless to say

more are cracked and broken then pretty and nice.

ah boys {sigh}

knocking over the decor while trying for a picture op...{another sigh}

tatie couldn't have been more stoked about the easter egg hunt.

he had one at grandma nelsons and grandma fergusons but of course the

camera only made it to one.

the look of pure mischief.

cousin caden

and what would easter be without a little guitar hero to end the day?

we had such a great day! i hope everyone's day went just as well...

{suspicions confirmed & secrets revealed}

well, we are off to enjoy some sunshine in the beautiful san diego,

but before we head out o' town, i thought i would confirm what

few already thought they knew...

im totally prego!

isn't he the cutest thing you've ever seen?

{ i keep referring to the baby as a he because im convinced tate is getting a little bro.}

im only three months along and i would prefer to have waited at least another month before spilling the beans, but ive been pretty sick and my belly is giving hints left and right. hiding it any longer would be almost impossible. in fact, i made the nurse check again and again to see if there was another baby somewhere in there.

{with tate i was a good 23-24 weeks before people even started asking}

now my body is reacting like it knows just what to do...oh well, free willey this summer!

we went to our doctors appointment last week and all seems to be looking good.

{except for the scale}

but things are staring to look up. im finally beginning to feel like a normal person again and we couldn't be more thrilled! {especially ken, he would like to multiply and replenish adam and eve style:}

{ sick-o...}

for the last two weeks our lives have been nothin but

aches, pains, fevers, and everything else that comes

along with feeling a little {OR A LOT} under the weather.

i have this fear of going to the doctor. not because i'm afraid of needles but

because i'm afraid of the doctor coming back after testing and finding

nothing wrong, then writing me a prescription for some tough-in-up pills.

after resisting for about a week and not seeming to be getting any better, ken finally dragged me to the er on thursday night. come to find out, i had had strep that had gone untreated so the infection spread to my ears and i was suffering from titus media. {serious ear infections}
and by the way i salute all the babies out there that go through this torture-i would much rather pass a few kidney stones or give birth to the destroyer again.

needless to say they pass out pain pills at the er like tick-tacks, so i'm well on my way to recovery. i wish i could say the same for my little boy. he seems to have gotten some sorta bug and cant seem to kick it. really can we catch a break-please?

seriously?

we have found ourselves doin a whole lota nothin for the last little bit.

check out the sexy bed head...

we are going to have bed sores here soon enough too.

yesterday, my dream of a husband took the day off to stay home and redo our room to cheer me up. {and we have had the paint for about a month-just sitting in the garage}

the before...

very dull and kinda 80's.

hand-me downs, what can i say?

the during...

ahhh...so sweet!

and the after is to be continued...

I'm still working on the new bed skirt and curtains.

but really what a guy Ive snagged myself!

it does pay to be sick sometimes!

{lovies...}

in honor of st. valentine, tate & i decided to
make valentines for some of his fav people...





MAKING THE VALENTINES...





UM, EATING THE VALENTINES...

well i guess its the thought that counts???

happy valentines everyone.

me furst aminal...

tatie and i decided to take a break from all the political mumbo jumbo and VISIT the pet store.

WARNING TO ALL MOTHERS: YOU LEAVE WITH PETS!

i thought it would be fun for tate to see the puppies in the windows and watch the fish swim,

i wasn't prepared for the weeping and whaling upon departure. so after i caved, we picked out some gold fish, and tatie was one happy boy.

tatie wanted to name his fishies edward & bella for some reason.
he loves watching them swim and always wants to catch them without the net...
boys will be boys-and i love em!

and in other news...

well atleast no one will be able to blame us-

90% of utahn's made the right choice.
the only canidate with any sort of class and integrity will now be unstoppable in 2012!

mccain + huckabee = dirty politics

mccain + clinton = true love

{it is nice to see him give a little affection to someone-he shafts his poor drug addicted, bud weiser hieress, barbie of a co-adulterer wife all the time:)}

{ssssuper tuesday...}

that's right folks...
incase you have been living under a rock for the last year-tomorrow is national

make your voice heard day.

personal challenge to everyone:

GO VOTE!

if you care at all about the future of our country and the country our children

will reside in for years to come...do your part!

if you want our economy strengthened, our borders secured, fair taxes, strong family values,

and most important-the dems defeated, MITT'S THE MAN!

or if you want to ruin the repub. reputation {more than it already has been}

admit amnesty, & stay in iraq for a century...here is the guy. the dems

favorite canidate.

or if you would like to not only be forced to buy an insurance plan you didn't get to choose,

pay for your lazy neighbors plan, then go to collect

on your health care-and find the same people working at the dmv administering it. or if you

thought you wanted to live in the USA but instead favor communism

and living in the soviet union or china...it is {for now} a free country and the

government {hasn't yet} forced you where to vote...

DOESN'T EVERYONE DESERVE A GOVERNMENT THAT WORKS???
