Yes!!! It's finally happening! :)

It's official, we heard and saw a heart beat and am expecting baby #4!!! We are so very excited for this to finally to be happening! Everyone so far is in agreeance to having another girl, but that just means we will have another boy if we hope too hard!!! So I am trying to stay neutral and say it doesn't matter as long as we have this one and it's healthy!
When asked by relatives or me, this is my kiddoes answers to what they want to have:

Ezra (6)--"A sister, no more brothers for me!" uh, what will she do if she does have another brother??? I did ask her that, this is what she said "I will help you mom, even if I'm sad about that." LOL

Cian (nearly 5, 6 more days people!)--"I just want what will make my mommy happy!"
what a sweet heart, nearly made me cry when I heard!

Iollan (3)-- "a girl." Why, "cause Cian and me two brudders. Ezzy and baby two sissers." lol I love his logic and agree with that one!!! :)


We are only 7 weeks along, so we have a long ways to go. Looks like it's going to be a mid May baby, this will be my first winter pregnancy, so I am looking forward to this, the summer kills me!
Hopefully all goes well with this one, the chances are a lot slimmer now that we have a heart beat and I feel really good about this one too. The last one I was not sick at all and just had a real bad feeling about it the whole time. But I am sick with this one and I love that!!! Being sick is a good sign for me, one I look forward to.
So here is to my sickness and good health that comes with it! lol

*Thanks everyone for you thoughts and prayers, I appreciate it so very much!!!

My Kids

This is some more about my children. I am just so happy to have each and everyone of them in my life. Just this morning I was looking at my little Iolly sleeping, so peacefully moaning his little moans along with his cute little sighs. I cannot imagine life without him. It made me remember when I first found out that I was having another little boy instead of a girl, how I cried and was so worried about having another boy, I thought that all boys would be like my Cian, my monster boy. But they are not, every child is different and that is what he taught me. He has always been very mild with his behaviour, so sweet and kind. He his both a momma's and dadda's boy. He is my cuddle bug every morning and I just love his smiles that he gives and his "Good morning Momma!". He started to have a slight speech problem like his sister did, but because we picked up on it sooner, we have been able to correct it. He talks very well and is favorite phrase when he wants something is"I never, ever, EVER got that before." It's so cute when he says it, he always squeaks with it too. Cian has tried this, but it just doesn't work with an older child, but I give him an A for effort. lol Iollan is growing up so much faster than the others and that makes me sad, he is my baby boy, can't he stay like that just a bit longer??? He is fully potty trained and surprisingly might be getting ready to stop using the diapers at night too, he has gone almost a week without any wet diapers at night, so I'm thinking that another 2 weeks of that and we will try diaper free at nights, that will be nice! He will be the youngest one of the three to go diaperless so young. Ezzy was out at 5 and Cian, well he still wears them, but that's ok. :)
Iollan has decided lately to be very vocal about who does or doesn't like anymore. We have a new little girl that I have started watching and when it was his turn to serve out the food, he refused to serve her because he didn't like her. That was the first time he had ever done that. I'm sure it was all because he just didn't know her, kind of funny though.

My monster boy Cian. I love him for who he is. And to be totally honest, he is turning into the sweetest little boy ever. He is the most helpful child I have, if I ask him to do something, he does it. No questions asked, he does it right then and there too. He is also very helpful with the other kids, he wants to be everyone's friend. He is always the first one to let me know when one of them is sad, he doesn't like to see anyone sad and tries to make them happy by doing silly things. He has also learned to be a good sport,he starts races, but he makes sure that everyone included is having fun, even if that means he looses. He has made me cry many times because of how proud I am of him.
He loves animals too! He is so cute about it, when we went camping one time my sister brought her pug. Whenever Cian thought that he (the pug) was lonely, he would go over and just sit there and hold him. He did that several times and for quite a while too. He just doesn't like to see anyone or anything sad and I love that about him, it shows how caring he is.
He has come along ways, he was and still sometimes is a difficult child. But I love what he is becoming and I know that through his difficulties that that is why he is who he is today. He is very high spirited and we both have to learn how to control it. I love my monster boy very much, wouldn't trade him for anything!!!

Ezra is getting so big and id drives me crazy how big she is. She still loves going to school and wakes up every morning ready to go. She is such a chatter box! We are always getting after her to quiet down cause the boys are still sleeping. She's just so excited to go to school again. We have her take cold lunches to school and she loves it when I use cookie cutters on them and finding little notes saying "I love you" inside. She has asked to purchase cold milk at school, that right there shows me how big she's getting and how independent she is and that makes me happy. Then this morning she asked if she could maybe have hot lunch instead, so I gave her some money to do so. We decided that we will look at the school menu and she can choose the days she want hot lunch and then cold lunches on the rest.
She seems to be doing pretty good with school right now and keeping up with everyone. She loves spelling, learning to read, and doing homework. She asks me daily for homework, most of the time I have to make it up for her cause she doesn't bring any home. She is always bringing drawings home and she always writes mommy on them, cause they are for me. She is getting really good with her drawing too. I love that she loves school I really hope that she continues to have that attitude and I hope that with our encouragement she will continue to do so. She is also excited cause she is looking forward to signing up for basketball. They sent home fliers and she asked if she could play. So I had her decide, bowling or basketball this year and she chose basketball. I'm so glad that she is into sports, hopefully she enjoys learning about basketball and has fun with it.

These are my kiddoes and I love them very much!!!

The reason behind this post is because I watched a movie last night and it just made me think. I watched "The boy in the striped pajamas". This is the second time I watched it, Chet bought it last night and so we watched it together. The whole story makes me mad and sad. The little boy in it though, Bruno, just reminds me so much of Cian. He is an explorer and loves to have a friend, no matter who they are. He was willing to look for the good when everyone else was saying there was none to be found. And then the horror of the mother realizing what happened, I cannot imagine going through that. Fighting so hard to get your children away from this nightmare you are in and that last minute to lose one. The father, well I'm not sure what to think about him. I really just don't even want to go there, he is one that ticks me off, just so wrong what he supported. But they brainwashed everyone, the stuff they were teaching to the children and at such young ages too, ugh!
Ok, ok, I am through with that because that just makes my blood boil, you can ask Chet, I was mad after the movie ended. Anyways, it made me think of my children and how I am so blessed to have them, I cannot imagine losing them.

I love you 3 with all my heart!!!

My Dearest Chet!!!!

I haven't been feeling my best lately and Chet has been so wonderful going above and beyond the call of duty! He has been super busy with homework and work, but he still tries to do things to help me out, I love him much!
Tonight I went to my mom's to pick something up from her and when I got home he cleaned the kitchen completely and was reorganizing the pantry. Then I noticed that he also washed a piece of ribbon for me. This ribbon is for my sisters wedding cake and it had gotten frosting on it when I practiced. Well I didn't get a chance to wash it and he did it. It was such a simple thing, but it really touched me so much that I cried. I am so happy to have such a wonderful hubby, he is the best! Thank you Chet for all that you do, you are amazing and I love you so much!!!

Just Random Stuff

Sorry that I have not gotten any pictures on here like I thought I would, but if I could find my camera I would have gotten it done! :)


Ezzy had her second day of school today and so far she loves school! The first thing Ezzy said today when she came home was:
"School is too much fun Mom, I just love it!"
I am so glad that she is loving school, she is now sad cause she has a 3 day weekend: "I hate summer break, why can't we go to school everyday?" Another thing I over heard her say today! haha


Cian and Iolly took a bath tonight and when they got done they decided to race. Well Cian was winning by a long shot and Iolly started to get sad. Cian noticed it and took off his shirt (the final piece of clothing to win the race) and then proceeded to pretend that he couldn't put it on, it kept getting stuck on his foot, that silly foot! lol Iolly was then able to win the race and Cian shouted out "Good job Iolly, you won!!!" Made me so proud when he did that, what a sweet heart Cian is!!!



Iolly is potty trained! Yeah!!! The only diapers in this house in for night time use only, what a relief that is. He had one accident in the last two weeks, but I will not count that one, it truly was not his fault. He had to go really bad and ran into the bathroom (we were at Grandma's house). Well stinky sissy decided that she needed to go too and ran into the bathroom as well and went before him, therefore he had an accident. I was pretty mad at her, there was no reason for that. What a turkey she was.


My dogs like to chase flies and try to eat them, it is hilarious!!! Our house has many flies in it and it drives me insane! But it sure is funny to see the animals going nuts too! If anyone has any good remedies to get rid of flies, please let me know. I leave the door open when the kiddoes go out to play, so that is why we have so many. Don't tell me to shut the door, cause that is a no-no. :)


I've already started on Ol' Hallows Eve costumes and am so excited!!! We are doing an Under the Sea Adventure theme, can't wait to show them off!!! I absolutely LOVE Halloween, my creativity just goes wild! :)
