I know he'll be cute,
But as Charlie Brown says, Good Grief! I had my baby-is-coming Dr. check-up yesterday, and found out that right now I weigh the most I ever have in my entire life!

I need a road rage counsel, aparently,...
Mae is officially in Pre-K even though we have been doing pre-K for a year now. I think pretty soon I'm just going to start her in Kindergarten work, otherwise she's going to get really bored.
Last week we were learning about different kinds of transportation. (When I say we I mean Myself, Mae, Liza, and Ethan.)
We colored these cute cars then put wheels on them that really turn! "Oh cool mom!"
Well just as a suggestion I told Mae she could draw people in the car, (note; Mae's people are the bubble headed type with arms and legs but no other appendages or detail other than facial features.)
I didn't really LOOK at Mae's pictures until it was time to hang it up.
Okay, if you see what I see the person in front does NOT look happy, so I asked my daughter why the driver was sad,
"She's not sad Mommy, she's angry because their having fun in the backseat and she's TRYING TO DRIVE!''
Mae delivered the "trying to drive" part to me in a scarily accurate replica of myself.
Upon hearing that I realized I must be the grumpiest driver in the world, God forgive me, I never let my kids "have fun" in the back seat!
So I felt a little better when the next Sunday, on the way to church Liza started to fuss.
When inquiries where made as to why, all she would say was, "Mommy do it!"
Mae patiently explained to her retarded parents that Liza was upset that whenever Daddy was in the car he never let Mommy drive, and they both wanted me in the driver seat.
I thought that was silly until Daddy laughed and said,"Its because Mommy gets there faster isn't it?!" Both girls one weepy, one giggly, both said, "YES!"
Apparently I need to learn to smile while driving and slow down.
Here is Liza's cute car, just so she isn't left out.

Liza's two,...
For some weird reason the computer wont put up the slide show I did of Liza's B-day. SO I'm trying again. If it doesn't work as a slide show I'll just post the pic's on my photography blog.

Just Keep Blogging, Just Keep Blogging, hmmm, hmmm,.......
I know every one would LOVE to see the hilarious video of Mae's dance recital, the one where she was notoriously a step ahead of the teacher or a step behind depending on if it was interesting enough to keep her attention.
Let me tell you when Snow White came through the door,.. she couldn't be torn away from the fifteen year old in a second hand costume.
I was very proud of her though because it looked like she's paid attention to all those annoying Angelina Ballerina video's, she had the best posture than any other girl and walked on her tippy-toes the whole time!
I'm sure that if a little more attention was paid by Mae it would have been a thoroughly boring event. She would have done everything perfectly and I would not have such a great video to offer.
Unfortunately I cant find the cord to the video camera to hook it up to the computer!
I am VERY frustrated by this, and sorry. But here are a few pictures that will give you and idea of the fun time had at the week long Disney Dance Camp 2009!

IT'S A BOY!
Even though I haven't made it to the blogging world much lately I just wanted everyone to know we are having a boy, our first! I haven't written much, but I am really excited about this pregnancy. (It's a lot easier to be excited now that I'm not throwing up fifty times a day.)
I have an enormous to do list, starting off with getting the girls bunk beds so "Baby Boy" can have his crib, (Liza is still occupying it.)
Then yesterday while folding laundry I realized I have over 100 baby blankets, all of which over 80% are PINK! This poor kid is going to be covered in pink! I already know I have NO clothes for him.
"Okay Becka, calm down your only in your 20th week,...........Holy Cow! That means I only have five months to get ready!!!!!!!"
Train of thought,...I have none, my head is all over the place!
But I look at cute sonogram pictures and I love him already. (I think he already has Tim's profile.)

Where I've Been
I know I haven't blogged in awhile my excuse being that I'm officially pregnant! Because of that reading the computer, or any book really, gives me this feeling of carsickness/nausea. So I don't think I'll be on very much, however not to neglect my journalism duties, I will post some pictures from Mae's fourth birthday and Liza's second.
I have had a ton of funny neat things that I've thought about blogging but I cant get my head from over the toilet long enough to type about them! I just LOVE morning sickness! (major sarcasm.)
I'm in kinda a hormonal funk right now so maybe posting these cute pictures will cheer me up.
Thanks for putting up with my wishy-washy-ness, I hope know one felt neglected.

Saying things Outloud!
Computer games don't affect kids, I mean if Pac Man affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in darkened rooms, munching pills and listening to repetitive music.
Only by seeking challenges can we hope to find the best in ourselves.
You [mothers] are the real builders of the nation wherever you live, for you have created homes of strength and peace and security. These become the very sinew of any nation.” Gordon B. Hinckley, “Women of the Church,” Ensign, Nov 1996, 67
Having a baby changes the way you view your in-laws. I love it when they come to visit now. They can hold the baby and I can go out.
-- Matthew Broderick
Everyone should have kids. They are the greatest joy in the world. But they are also terrorists. You'll realize this as soon as they are born, and they start using sleep deprivation to break you.
-- Ray Romano
"Fear God, and your enemies will fear you." Benjamin Franklin
"Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be." Abraham Lincoln
"A good laugh and a long sleep are the best cures in the doctor's book." Irish Proverb
"My wife has a slight impediment in her speech. Every now and then she stops to breathe." Jimmy Durante
" My dear sisters, do not pray for tasks equal to your abilities, but pray for abilities equal to your tasks. Then the performance of your tasks will be no miracle, but you will be the miracle."
Thomas S. Monson
If the new American father feels bewildered and even defeated, let him take comfort from the fact that whatever he does in any fathering situation has a fifty percent chance of being right.
Bill Cosby
Children really brighten up a household - they never turn the lights off.
-- Ralph Bus
Kids. They're not easy. But there has to be some penalty for
sex.
-- Bill Maher

- A woman is like a tea bag- you never know how strong she is until she gets in hot water.
- You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.' You must do the thing you think you cannot do.
- I hate the word housewife; I don't like the word home-maker either. I want to be called Domestic Goddess.
