big news on the homefront

We are having a baby! We are just pregnant and have our first appointment on June 10. We are very excited for our growing family.

Heh!

Early this morning I woke myself up by laughing in my sleep. I was having a good dream and I was laughing. Ed was already awake getting ready for work and he said 'are you OK?' I said 'what's wrong?' and he said 'you laughed or something.' I think it is pretty neat that I was so happy in my dream it came out for real!

I love this day.

Today is wonderful. I woke up to lil ed getting in our bed...He just needed to crawl over me to get to daddy. Then they quietly leave the room and come back with presents. Lil ed picked out my card. Him and Ed went to the store and looked at mothers day cards and Lil Ed didn't find anything he liked. Then He found a card in the birthday area. Ed tried to talk him out of it but lil ed said mommy LOVES mickey mouse. (I don't love him...Lil ed watches it on t.v. sometimes.) So I got a cute happy birthday card. Then we got ready and went to this yummy breakfast place. It is called La Madeline. After that we stopped by a farmers market that reminded me of the fruit stands back home. There's this place called Food Town. A pretty low class supermarket. Normally I would NOT shop there. (because I am a snob) However they had a smokin' deal on produce. Potatoes, onions and cabbage for 15 cents/lb. You can't beat that with a stick!! I was so happy to have found this deal. So I sucked it up and went in. It wasn't as horrible as I thought. Most of the items were labeled in Spanish. I was a Spanish I dropout. Therefore I pretty much stuck to the produce. Where else can you go to get Nacho Cheese by the bucket?! (no we didn't buy it). Lil Ed keeps climbing up on our desks to be in the mix. He can be annoying when he is all up in my business like that so Ed took a T.V. tray to the garage and turned it into a desk for lil ed. He said 'I love my desk, daddy. I so sited' (that is lil ed for excited) He sat there and played on his VTech computer for a bit. Ed has made this day really special for me. And listening to lil ed say Happy Mothers day really made me smile.

Now I am off to make cabbage soup!

*SIGH*

This is what happens when you check your email or facebook and your 2.5 year old is being quiet in the other room. Lip stick and lotion EVERYWHERE! But it was hard to stay mad because I put him in his room (after cleaning him up) and when he came out he instantly said 'sorry mommy for ruining your chap stick'

The bigest box ever

Tuesday night we had our treadmill delivered. Lil Ed was super excited about the biggest box ever. He kept asking Ed to open the box. Ed moved the box to our room (where the treadmill was to be set up) and it was really heavy. Lil Ed took notice of this and repeatedly told Ed 'you are strong daddy' 'you are so strong'. It was pretty neat to see Lil Ed be proud of his strong daddy. Then we made a fort out of the boxes.

Water Hose Fun

This is how we spend mornings in Texas. I water my garden and my herbs then Lil Ed takes control of the hose.

Its a Sunday afternoon, Lil Ed just went down for a rest, Ed is in the backyard getting ready to mow and I settle into the couch with a new book. I hear Ed banging on the back door to 'come here'. I go out and he found a turtle in our backyard! It looked like the kind people have for pets.


So I go inside and get him some lunch. He didn't eat. He ran off. Ed said the celery made the mower smell good though.

We got a pool. A medium sized one. Lil Ed got some floaties. He loves them and this is his swimming pose. He said that grandpa can come and swim in his pool. (must have remembered swimming in grandpas pool)
