Weilands Art Fair

Weiland and I had a date tonight. We went to his Art Fair at school. He is an awesome artist!! I forgot my camera so I had to take pics with my phone. It was fun to have him show my his art and then to have dessert with him at his school. Hes such a sweet boy!! You can tell his teachers adore him. He gave each of them a huge hug! It was a very fun evening with my little man!!
Weiland drew a pic of himself. His was the closest to looking like a real person!

Alien Girl

Keely dressed up as an alien for Alien Day at school. It was a Sunday when she informed me of this so we had to get creative since we didn't want to go shopping. We used cosmetic sponges for the atennas and colored them with markers and glitter paint. Then we cut the toes off some toe socks to make weird skin as she called it and then we put baby headbands on her legs. And to finish it off some makeup around the eyes. We had fun!!







Easter Egg Hunt

We went to Utah for Easter this year since Sam was gone. It was fun to be with family over the holiday weekend to fill the void of not having Sam there. I flew with the three kids by myself and they were awesome both ways!! Thank heaven for good flyers!! On the way there...Keely sat with a girl who let her play with her phone and then on the way home this guy behind me offered to hold Jax for a bit. He had triplets that just left for college so he was missing them and asked me if he could hold Jaxie. Thank you sir!! Jax is quite a hefty fellow so i was all for it! My little sister Karli and her family came down from Vegas to hang with us. Holly and Noah live near my parents so they came and hung out too. Noah is a good cousin and entertained the kids alot. He unfortunately wasn't with us on Easter. We all pitched in for Easter dinner and made ham, funeral potatoes, fruit, deviled eggs, and had ice cream for dessert. It was a funfilled weekend except for ear infections and colds.








Seeing the Kidd Klan




When I took the kiddos to my parents for Easter we got a chance to see my inlaws and the kids cousins. It was a fun day! We went to lunch...easter shopping and then to my parents for some running around in the back yard. Here are all the kiddos!!

Getting Down With Mama Goose

Keely had a first and second grade preformance a couple of weeks ago called "Getting Down With Mama Goose." The songs were so cute and Keely did an amazing job preforming. Its fun to watch her perform because she really gets into the moves and using her mouth to excentuate the words. LOL ...She is very adorable!! So I took pics of her performance but I could not get close enough with two boys and no husband so I got what I could. After the performance I asked her if she wanted to get some pics with her friends and she was very excited. I think that was more fun for her than performing. Oh yeah! Here is a funny story about this boy in her class...

So his name is ....oh crap I forgot what it is....well anyway as we are walking into the preformance her boyfriend (or as she would say with finger quotes he thinks I am his "girlfriend".) Anyway he jumps out of his car in his suit and says "KEELY!! Look!!" and holds his hands out to have her check out his outfit. She is like ...um Ok! This boy is very funny...he says to her "Thank you my love" when she passes out papers in class. Anyway here are some pics with her friends, teachers and principal.

Sam is deploying

So Sam is deploying tomorrow and I thought this would be a fun way to let him see what will happen why he is gone for the next six months. Thanks to my friend emailing me that she started a blog it reminded me of mine. So alot has changed since I last posted and I promise to catch you all up. But my first priority is to post about the next six months so my hubby and my kiddos dad can see what we are up to why he is away. We hope that he enjoys his time away and we plan on doing the same. Whats the saying "why the cats away the mice will play!" Well we plan on doing just that. We love you Sam and be safe. I will also use the blog to keep you all up to date on how he is doing while hes busy serving our country!!

We are having another KIDD!!

So on Thursday we found out we will be having another addition to our family...its a funny story...

I was having some leg cramping on Thursday and I called the nurse's hot line when I woke up that morning. The nurse said to go to the ER and get it checked out. Sam had already left for work for the day, Keely need to catch the bus and Weiland had Mom's Day Out. There was no one to drive me so I hurried and called Sam and rushed to get everyone ready for the day so we could drop everyone off for the day. We arrived at the hospital and as I am talking to the nurse at the front desk this lady comes in coughing all over both of us. The nurse asked her to put on a mask and the lady says "I have been coughing for two weeks, I am not sick." The nurse told her that she didn't care if she was sick or not to put the mask on so others wouldn't get sick. (sorry not really relevant but part of my morning.) I get wheeled back to a room and they check out my leg and tell me that they want to do an ultrasound on my leg. I told the nurse I might be pregnant (thinking that may be the reason my leg hurt or something) so she tells me to pee in a cup. At this point I had already taken four tests that came up negative, so I pretty much thought that there was no way I was pregnant. So I pee in a cup!

They wheel me off to get the ultrasound in the bed I am laying in (super embarrassing)!! As she is doing the ultrasound I feel very nauseous (but hey I have been feeling that way for two weeks).The tech leaves to go show the ultrasound results to the radiologist and I look at Sam and say "We should be here for a different kind of ultrasound." He just kinda gives a smirk. So we get back to my room and the nurse comes in and asks me if I need anything for my nausea...I told her no that I was fine and she responds with "Well you better invest in some of those pregnancy lollipops." I was shocked! I had taken four tests over the last couple of days and they were all negative. Sam's reaction was funny.. He was not ready to try for a baby this month and wanted to wait til next month so he said to me " You get everything you want!" and smiled!!

So that's how we found out that number three is on its way...I believe we are due June 10th, 2010!!

Sam swearing in to the Wisconsin State Bar

Sam swearing in to the Wisconsin State Bar
This was a really neat experience. Sam got to go in front of the Supreme Court Judges and be sworn into the bar. It was kinda intimidating seeing all six judges up there. I would never want to be on trial with those six judges. The court room was awesome with all the beautiful artwork and it was great to see Sam accomplish what he had worked so hard for over the last three years!

Keely's First Day of Kindergarten

Keely's First Day of Kindergarten
Keely has been so ready to go to school since she was 18 months old. She is a brain just like her dad! She was very excited to get into her school clothes and had to have her scarf just so for her first day. She let me drive her the first day but would not let me walk her in. Now she rides the bus to and from school. I can't believe how independent she is. It is very cute to watch Weiland run to her at the end of the driveway and give her a kiss and hug goodbye. They are getting so big it amazes me everyday!! Sometimes its hard to get her to look at the camera. Some of the pics she is focusing on other things. It cracks me up!


My little Picasso

My little Picasso
Weiland was painting the other day and decided to have me paint on his body for him...we had a blast! My son is such a perfectionist that if I did not put it symmetrical to the other arm etc. he would get mad. He is such a character!!
