New addition to our family

Here's the new addition to our family, Ronin Lucas!! I was all set for an induction on Aug 6 at 38wks, but once again, my blood pressure was NOT good to me and so on July 26th, baby boy was born at 36wks. My total labor time was a little over 48 hours, although pushing time was only 13 minutes!! My epidural was grrrrreat! I did not feel a thing! Hehe.

Convos in the van #8

My little Emma (& I) love One Direction! The song "Rock Me" was playing and Em said, "I love this song. This is my most favorite One Direction song!" I say, "Em loves One Direction!" Then Jeremiah chimes in, "Who doesn't?"

I guess Jay loves 1D too! Haha

Super Hot days in May

We've been having random hot weeks in SD since April and this week is no exception!  Today was one of the hottest days of the week (tomorrow is supposed to be even hotter)!

This new waterfront park at the County Administration Building opened up this past weekend and since Jenner was off in the afternoon today we thought it would be a good idea to take the kids here after school to beat the heat.  We only spent an hour here cause parking was only free for a limited time, but the kids had a blast!  We will definitely visit this place again.  There's plenty of grass for a picnic, a playground, lots of fountain space for the kids to play in the water and parking was relatively easy since it's directly underground.

As you can see in the pics, the kids were not happy when it was time to leave and

they didn't even want to look at the camera for a pic..

Mother's Day everyday

Mother's Day was this passed Sunday, but I'm not sure if Emma knows Mother's Day was only for that day.  This morning she tells me, "This is the best day ever... because of you mommy!"  I said, "Aw, thank you baby!"  Then she greeted me a Happy Mother's Day.  She usually is mad at me, so I'll take her sweetness when I can!  I love my mini-me!

She really doesn't like my singing!

I don't know how many millions of times the kids and I have watched Frozen, but by now all of us know the words to the songs.  It's super duper hot this week so today when the kids got home we all had popsicles and Jeremiah put in the Frozen DVD.  So the kids are at the counter with their popsicles and I'm in the kitchen washing the dishes and I start singing along with the movie.  Then Jeremiah says, "mommy, Em's getting mad at you"  So I turn around and Em is giving me the stink eye!  I say, "Em, you really don't like my singing?  You know, when I'm in heaven you're gonna miss me singing."  Jay agreed.  Then Emma says, "Well, when you're in heaven I'll miss YOU, buuuuuut..."  I reply, "you won't miss my singing? hahaha"  Then my sweet little Emma shook her head no.

smh.

Nicholas

I haven't posted a picture/video of Nico on my blog yet, so here's my little handsome man at 18 months old! aka Crazy Baby Man! :)

luscious lips

Because I'm considered an older/at risk preggo, I get ultrasounds about every 4 weeks.  This weeks ultrasound was great, everything was normal according to the doctor.  Too bad baby boy was being shy and covering his face with his arm, however we get a sneak peak at his nose and his luscious lips!  haha.  I think he's has mommy's lips :)
