Just Jumping

Well tonight was the first night in quite a while where I was able to spend my evening just hanging out with the kids. I took my camera out and was able to get some fun shots!

Jake be nimble, Jake be quick, Jake jump over a tree?

What a cheerleader in the making!

Here's my jumper!

Jessi was at softball practice so no shots of her.

Here is another favorite. Tim was teaching the boys how to pitch tonight. Priceless moments in life.

Congratulations Kati on the baby boy. They are so precious! I wouldn't trade mine for anything!

Happy April 15th!

Hopefully this means taxes slow down for Bengi, and it is the deadline for two big projects at work for me. So I am looking forward to getting my free time back & no more working way too late at home at night. WOO-HOO!

Simultaneously, we've had a couple other big things going on, in addition to my biggest daily project - creating life! :) Which is the source of my current dilemma & reason to post... As you may know, I am trying to fire my current Ob-Gyn; I like her & was happy with her care when she delivered Cade. However, since I switched to her because my regular doc had to close her practice due to her own new medical illness, I haven't been completely satisifed. This last visit was really the last straw, and I do not intend to return to her.

SO...I love Lakeside Women's Hospital but wasn't sure which other MD in my original doctor's group I should switch to. I found an MD at Mercy who several people have recommended; I have been in the process to get records to her for about 10 days now, but I hadn't yet heard she was willing to accept me & schedule an appointment. Meanwhile, this weekend, I got a very strong recommendation for an MD at Lakeside in my original doctor's group. So, with no news on the Mercy MD, I called this morning to see if THEY would accept me. (I kinda feel like that Dr. Seuss book, "Will YOU be my Mommy?") OF COURSE, just after leaving all my info there, the Mercy MD calls to schedule me. I guess the Lakeside MD may not accept me, so it may not be a dilemma at all, and I would be perfectly happy with this new MD (I assume) and delivering at Mercy. I just now feel torn...IF they do accept me, for very superficial reasons, I would prefer to deliver at Lakeside. Although I have great reasons to deliver at Mercy, too. For now, I'm scheduled to see the Mercy MD & waiting on the Lakeside MD; I'm just trying to anticipate what I'll do when they call me back & say she'll accept me. hmmm...what do I do???

On the important update...I am scheduled for my ultrasound for Wed 4/29 at 2:40...TWO WEEKS from today...ugh, it's torture waiting to know & see our baby again! :)

Thanks in advance for your advice & support through this frustrating process.

Easter and TeeBall

Beautiful Day for A Track Meet

Oh what a beautiful day for a track meet. I get the kids up at 7 each morning. I turned the corner to yell up for them to get up and Jenni popped to the top of the stairs. She was dressed in her track clothes and had her wind suit on top. Her hair was up in pig tails. She said I'm ready I've been up for an hour. She couldn't wait to make her lunch. Yesterday when we were in town she told every check out lady that she was going to a track meet. She was so adorable.

Her first event was the 50 yard dash. She came in 1st! Yeah!

Next she ran the 75 this was 1 and 2nd combined so she didn't do as well here but she was still all smiles.

Jake ran the 75 and the 400. The 400 is all the way around the track. I'm not sure he knew that but he finished. You can see the pain on his face!

They both were in the long jump. They both did really well. I didn't hear if they placed but I got some cool pictures.

Jessi got to get out of school to go help Coach Davis keep all 75 1st thru 6th graders in line and at events on time.

It was an awesome day! By the way how do you like the picture at the top. I took it with my new fish eye lens. Don't you love it!

Easter

Here are our Easter day pictures:

and the Easter-Eve OU baseball game:

We went to our Church's Easter Egg Hunt this Saturday & had a great time!

Cade's Easter egg hunting is much improved from last year, but after getting a couple eggs he was ready to go swing...doesn't he know Mom needs some candy, too?!

APRIL FOOLS!!!!!

Ok so tell me you all really didn't fall for that.

Now mom was in on it because I told her on Tuesday that I was going to post that we were having a baby. Then I decided that wasn't so believable and came up with the adoption story.

Tim said we can't have any more kids because they wouldn't fit in the motorhome!!!!! Priorities, Priorities.

My other good get of the day was Jacob. When he was coming down the stairs I told him his calf had died. He sat down on the stairs and started crying. I quickly said April Fools and boy was he mad.

Jenni took the soap out of the shower and then when Tim hollared she told him we were out of soap he'd have to stink today. Then she yelled April Fools.

I tried to get Tim by telling him when I took Roxi to the vet she got away and another dog maulled her in the parking lot. She was still there but not doing good. He said for a second he panicked because he knew I was going to the vet and her new leash was loose but then quickly remembered the soap incident and didn't fall for it.

I just love April Fools Day!!!!

New Baby Too!!!!!!!!

Ok well you guys know how I was sad when you all announced you were pregnant and due at the same time. Well Tim and I started talking about another baby. We both miss the little stage and I can't even pick Jenni up and hold her anymore. So........

Tim's new office partner, Russell Singleton, has built a business of adoptions. Many unwed mothers contact him and he arranges the adoptions. We started talking to him about the process and we decided to go for it. I mean we have enough love and fun for another one. So last week we met with a prospective mother. She is caucasion in case you are wondering and 14 years old.

I am so excited because we signed the papers today!!!!!!! She is due around the 5th of October but with a little luck maybe she will deliver early. So now it will be three new babies in the family!!!! I am so excited. I get a baby with out the pregnancy!!!! The kids are so excited about having a new brother or sister. We are going to find out the sex of the baby. So add us to the sex guessing game!!!!
