Spring Break

Spring Break was pretty calm this year. We were going to go to Disneyland but I'm a slightly selfish person and since I'm pregnant cancelled it because lets face it I'd miss out on all the good rides and have to nap most of the day and probably wouldn't be able to eat anything that I love usually. PLUS we were all sick the ENTIRE time so it was all for the better to cancel and lay low.

We literally were the whole week plus some! Trevor missed school the week before Spring Break and the nurse called about AJ the Friday Spring Break started. Jeff was sick enough to stay home which was nice because he's NEVER home so having him here even if he was sick the entire time and slept all day it was good to know he was here. I got sick too and usually I just deal with it but going through all day sickness from pregnancy at the same time made me a big baby and nothing made me happy...my poor family.

Although we were sick towards the end of the week we decided to go to the movies and do some shopping at the mall...we were all suffering from cabin fever by then and needed out of the house in a bad way. Jeff came with us and we had lunch at the kids choice...Red Robin, saw Mega Mind at the $1 theater and I did some shopping. While we were waiting for the movie the kids decided that they NEEDED to go on the gravity something or other that was set up in front of the mall.

I told the guy running it to do it fast and he didn't even get to medium speed and the kids were begging him to stop so they could get off. WIMPS!

We also had already planned on going to see Flogging Molly for St. Patricks day. We decided to take the older boys this year because they are always asking what concerts are like and they listen to their music with us in the car and know almost all the words so why not?!

We got there as soon as the gates opened so we could spend the day there and watch all the bands play and walk around and eat bad food and get some sun. The kids had a blast they were in awe of everything around them. 

I love these guys!

LAZY

This is probably going to end up me venting so I apologize in advance.....

I am so very grateful to be pregnant I am still in shock that I am I go through every emotion daily...disbelief, excitement, SHOCK, the what the heck am I thinking feeling...you'd think this being our 4th it would be no big deal but IT IS! I feel like I've forgotten EVERYTHING I need to know and have ZERO energy to do anything with the kids I have. I'm seriously doubting myself....I've even told Jeff I would rather have a boy because I know what to do with a boy and have NO IDEA what to do with a girl....what is wrong with me?!

Truthfully I don't care what we have this time I'm just so happy to finally be having our last little one that we have been waiting so long for.

 I'm just really worn out...I've been sick for 3 wks now...there is guaranteed vomiting on a daily basis and I have no energy to do a single thing. My only energy boost happens at about 7pm and last about 2 hours and thats family time so I still get nothing done....the kids are tired of chores and I don't blame them...Dylan is tired of "napping" in bed with me and told me today that he wants to play in his play room and I will be fine without him. Jeff feels helpless because he has no idea what to do to help me and has tried everything and cooked every type of food and guaranteed by the time it's ready I'm so overwhelmed by the smells I can't eat it.

Please don't get me wrong I am so excited and so very grateful...I'm excited to feel the first kick, see what we are having, hear the first cry and look into his/her eyes for the first time. I just can't wait for the 1st trimester to be over with..as much as I'm happy I'm having these symptoms and it means things are going good for the baby a break would be great!

World Wildlife Zoo

We went to the World Wildlife Zoo of Phoenix this past weekend with Jeffs parents and Sister and Lorelai. It was a lot of fun. We got to see tons of animals close up and fed the Giraffes a bunch of food! 

Trevor had a super slimy hand after this!

Trevor and Grandpa Stout getting on the skyride.

And AWAY they GOooooooo.....

BrrRrrrrrr! 

I think we were more amazed to find a scuba guy scrubbing the decor in the tank than with most of the animals!

This silly kitty cat growled at us

Uncle Jeff and Lorelai

This crazy monkey was OBSESSED with Dylan...it wouldn't take it's eyes off of him

Growing up so fast!

We went to the Zoo yesterday with Grandma Stout and Jeff's sister Melissa and Lorelai! It was a ton of fun and Dylan decided to try something new....he asked to ride the Camel!!!

If you know Dylan you know he's a pretty timid and shy little guy and usually opts out of things like that but this time he asked me if he could so of course I couldn't help but say YES.

He waited so patiently for his turn

He looked so small on that GIANT CAMEL!

He's such a big kid...I'm sad he's not my little baby anymore.

When we asked him if it was fun or scary his face lit up and he said, "IT WAS FUN!"

Just another milestone I guess as he works his way to becoming more like his big brothers.

We also met a nice horsey and got a picture with him

It was a great day at the zoo and we are going again next week! Who knows what we will do on our next trip but I'm sure it will be fun.
