Do you ever really pay attention to what you do when you are driving? The other day, I was putting on my make-up in the van and started noticing what others were doing in their car as well.
I was behind this guy who was trying to dial or either text on his cell phone and then he started looking at himself in his rear view mirror. He was looking at his teeth which by the way looked scary white. I mean, I was in my car right behind him and his teeth were illuminating with whiteness. Almost as if he had a black light in his car somewhere. It really was quite freaky. We went on for at least a mile (creeping along because traffic was horrendous) with him staring at his teeth and talking on the phone. Then I noticed another person next to me and she had a cell phone to which she was dialing and not paying attention to the road. I also saw people who were talking on the phone, eating or laying so far back in their seat that they make me want to lay down and go to sleep. I mean, how do people drive that way...laying so far back? How do they even see over the dashboard? I, of course, was also digging through my purse for something and it really made me think about safety on the road and how I was not being a party to it. Paying attention to stuff other than driving. Obviously I'm paying somewhat attention to driving, but probably not like I should. I need to do better with that especially since I am carrying precious cargo in my car. Just wondering if you put on your make-up too when you are driving or do you put in on at home? I'm 50/50 with that.
Also, PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: For those of you who might feel the need to pick your nose, please remember that you DO NOT have an invisible shield that goes up automatically when you drive. We all can see you doing it and it's especially gross when you decide to ball it up and roll it around in your fingers. GAG! :P Get a tissue people!! LOL!
Oh please don't think I'm ranting. :) I just think it's kinda funny what people do in their cars when they think no one is looking. It doesn't matter if you are putting on make-up, intently staring at your overly white illuminating teeth, shoving a hamburger in your mouth, talking on the cell phone or even grossly picking your nose. I've even heard of newly married couples, Hmmm...how can I be tactful?....Well YOU KNOW, while they are driving!!! How can that be? Anyway, our attention is elsewhere at that moment and just wondering if it really should be? LOL!

Snow Day
We actually had snow here on the 1st. It was so pretty coming down and we loved being able to get out in it and play.
My cats little paw prints in the snow....how cute!!
David and the babies.
Bud making his first of many snow angels.
Just lookin' cute!
David's way of trying to build a snowman...packing in the snow.
My way of trying to build a snowman....rolling a big ball of snow.
I was tired after doing this several times and my coat wouldn't stay buttoned because of "the bump". LOL!!! :)
The finished product. Sad, I know. Play sausage for eyes, a red ball for the nose,a green foamy dart for the mouth and a Lightening McQueen hat. Oh and the football was David's contribution. Something's missing huh?? Yep, it's the arms. We didn't have any sticks to use for arms. Oh well!
Snowball fight!
My snow angels!
The view looking down our street. Beautiful!
Our backyard.
Overall we ended up with about 3-4 inches of snow. It was so beautiful but by the afternoon, it had melted away. We sure did have fun playing in it and looking at it! Thank you Lord for your beautiful creation! :)

It's Never Ending It Seems...But I'm Thankful
We had Bud's birthday party at Pump-It-Up and he had a blast!
Bud had a field trip to Domino's Pizza and he had fun making his own pizza and watching it being cooked.
Bud also had his first baseball practice this last week and he wasn't quite ready to participate that first practice and I'll just leave it at that, but he was ready for the second practice. Here are some pics of that day.
Well, it's official. I'm on insulin. It's because of the gestational diabetes for which I am so glad. I only hope it goes away after this little bundle of joy arrives. It doesn't hurt to give myself the shot and I even let the kids watch me sometimes in hopes that they won't freak out themselves when it's time for them to have another shot. Thankfully, the needles I use are short and thin so if it hurts, it's only because I haven't let the alcohol completely dry on my leg. I didn't have to go on insulin with Boogs (M#3) and I was hoping not to have to with this little guy, but not so. That's ok though. If it means a healthier baby than that's ok with me. Please continue to keep both of us in your prayers as we only have (Lord willing) about 12 weeks to go. YAY!! :)

Updates Galore
In my last post I mentioned how sweet my husband was and how he knows me so well. We decided to exchange our Valentine's between each other and the kids before Valentine's day since we were having out of town guests. I had made David and the kids these felt weaved heart shaped candy holders at MOPS. They were red and white and were sooo cute and filled them with candy and conversation hearts. We had also gotten the kids a few other little silly things. They loved it!
Then David surprised me with a black and white, blown up and framed picture of my grandmother's house that I had taken a few years ago. It was beautiful and such a sweet gesture from him since my grandmother had just recently passed away. He also gave me a heart shaped box of chocolates and also surprised me with some burp cloths that he had monogrammed with our expectant little ones name on it. If you know me at all, you know that I love monogrammed stuff. I just think it is so cute and personal. And then he gave me this......
HAHA I LOVED IT!! You know what they say about green M&M's!!
This cracked me up...it's on the front of the bag.
And this is what it says on the back of the package(David cut it out thinking he was helping me so I don't have a picture of the back).
"MPORTANT NOTICE: Consumption of The Green Ones may result in elevated Romance Levels. If you experience this effect, contact your Significant Other immediately. No official agency has verified these statements..but what do they know about romance anyway?"
I thought that statement was hilarious and I'm still laughing about it! :)
My grandmother, uncle and aunt on my dad's side came and spent the weekend with us. We had such a great time with them here! They are the most down to earth loving people. They don't judge you, don't expect anything from you, don't have anything ugly to say about anybody and they are just so fun to be around! Here are a few pictures from last weekend.
Judi, Uncle Ronnie & Aunt Susan
My hilarious Mama. I love her outlook on things. Everything she sees or does is like she is seeing it for the first time in her life...it's cute and hilarious!
My Uncle Ronnie waving at Dee-deeds camera and my brother Steven just glaring. ;)
Dee-deed and Boogs.
This was one of the few times I actually sat down last weekend. :)
My gorgeous hubby doing what he loves best...grilling!!
Aunt Susan making sure all the trimmings were there.
All of the cousins playing outside.
Steven tickling Boogs.
More tickling.
It was such a fun and relaxing weekend! This was our first time really hosting family and we definitely hope they will come back and visit. We hope that they felt just as at home at our house as we do when we go visit at their house.
Just a few pictures from Bud's Valentine's party at school. He's such a sweetie!
Since I am his room mom, I try to come up with ideas of things I think the kids will like. For Valentine's day, I made heart shaped peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, cut stawberries to look like hears and had heart shaped pretzels. For their "dessert" I made heart shaped rice krispie treats, some of them the normal color and some of them red. I think I used too much red food coloring in the red batch because the hearts looked as though they were bleeding...LOL. The kids still ate them though!
Bud making his craft. It was a bookmark with foam conversation hearts on it. The kids really enjoyed making these. Bud gave his bookmark to me and it's in my Bible.
My sweet friend Melissa had a baby shower this weekend. She is having a girl so it was all pink and brown for the shower. Soo cute!
We have signed Bud up for baseball. We originally thought that he would be playing tee-ball but due to a typo in our local newsletter we soon found out on sign up day that he would be playing coach pitch baseball. I am excited for him but nervous at the same time because this is his first time playing a sport. I think he will have fun and do great! They had a evaluation day this past Saturday to access what the kids skills were. Here a some pictures from Saturday.
Waiting for his name to be called...and yes, I have colored out the name of the city on his shirt...in case you were wondering. :)
Getting instruction as to what to do.
More instruction.
Watching the ball being hit to him.
Getting the ball...throw it Bud!
One of the coaches showing him where to stand.
Right after he hit the ball...run Bud, run!!
We were out at the ballpark for 2 1/2 hours and by the time we got home, we were frozen. It wouldn't have been so bad if the wind hadn't blown the entire time. We still had fun watching all of the little kids go through the process of being evaluated. They were soo cute and some of the little guys were smaller than Bud. It should be a fun season! I'm excited and I know Bud is!
