I am a child of God

Derek learned all the words to I am a child of God today at church. I think he's known the words for a while, but he's never wanted to sing them out loud until today.

There's only one this time.....

Well, Tad and I have been trying for a while to get pregnant again. The problem with me is that I don't ovulate on my own. So, it seemed our only option was fertility drugs again to make me ovulate. With twins already, we weren't so sure we wanted to go that route again. But after a few months of nothing, we decided we might as well take the drugs. We tried one month at half the strength, but that still didn't work, so we had to go for the full strength. I finally ovulated last month and whala, we're pregnant. And today there was only one dot on the ultrasound screen. Big sigh of relief. Now I can finally stop going to the doctor twice a week!

Other than that, we haven't been up to much. Kevin and Paige run around the house saying "OTay" all day long and Derek teases them all day long. Paige loves going peepee on the toilet, Kevin loves trying to pee and not really going. Paige bites everyone that tries to get in her way. Derek is testing in June to get into Kindergarten early. I'm working and Tad's working and we're barely seeing eachother these days. Here are some pictures of the last few weeks. Click on the pictures to enlarge.

Paige loves her Princess nightie that I got at a thrift store for $0.50!

Isn't she cute!!

Derek with his preschool nature walk treasures.

They love their $2 car pool!

Paige's new "high heels" that she loves.

Tad's beautiful green grass... he decided to get rid of my garden because nothing is growing. I don't know if it's because the kids wont stay out of it or because our yard's hundred's of birds are eating everything.... or maybe Tad's been sabotaging me to open up the space I've been using.

The kids playing with their maraca's I brought back from Mexico.

Mom's Weekend Getaway

After years of living in Arizona, I finally made it down to Rocky Point, Mexico! I must say I have the best husband ever. Not only does he watch the kids 3 days a week so I can work, but he was more than willing to watch the kids another few days so I could get away!

A friend I went to school with owns a condo on the beach (anyone interested in renting from her, let me know!) and all of us girls from school decided to go down for the weekend. There's nothing better than laying out on the beach or chilling in a restaurant overlooking the water with nothing but the breeze and the sound of the mariachis playing! I could do without the nice sunburn I got, but other than that, I had a great time. There were a bunch of people there - a triathalon was going on and Cinco de Mayo, but honestly I thought there would be more people on the beach than that. I can see why people love going here. It would be a fun place to take the kids. Here are some pictures...

This is the view from the condo

The water felt great!

This is the busiest my friend's had seen the beach, so on other weekends, it must be just about perfect!
