Rock-a-bye hot-dog.

Susan is a crazy girl she has so much personality. The other day she was in the kitchen cradling a cold hot dog (one of her favs) and she rocked it back and forth singing "Rock-a-bye hot dog in the tree tops....." Pretty funny!

Another Susan story
Susan is verry funny, a few days ago she was crying in her car seat as we were driving to put the kids to bed. Yes we do that sometimes when its 9:30 or 10:00 pm and they are protesting sleep we throw them in the car and drive until at least 2 kids are asleep.

Anyway Susan was very upset crying and yelling . In a panicky she was voice she started calling to me, "Mommy! Mommy!! Mommy!!!" I calmly turned on the verge of going crazy and said "What Susan?" she quickly responded "Your....forehead." It made us all laugh, silly girl!

i wish

Brian Jr was mad at me for punishing him so he declared,
"Mom you're in trouble, I am taking away all your cleaning things!"
As if that was my favorite thing.

Boy-Girl-Girl-Boy

When I was younger and I used to plan my wedding, the colors, the flowers, the car we would drive away in it was mostly for fun I didn't actually care that much about the superficial part of my future wedding. I did make lots of lists of the qualities in a man I wanted to marry. That list was very important and Brian had met every requirement and most of the things I just wanted.

I also had a list of names I wanted for my kids. Brian quickly nixed those unique names and we settled for more classic traditional names that we both love. As well as names I planned the order of my children. I wanted a boy first to protect the kids and lead the way. Then 2 girls so they could be friends , share things and hang out with. Then I wanted another boy so the first one could have a friend close in age also. That was not necessarily where I wanted to stop but I felt after we would be even and what ever we had bout be an extra joy.

Well in January we were delighted to find out we were expecting baby number 4! We told the kids a few weeks later, after they started making up reasons why I was so sick, We heard them talking to each other saying things like,"Mommy is so sick she is gonna die" "Mommy has diarrhea" "Mommy is sick because moms get sick of babies" "Mommy just needs to throw up" As you can see we needed to talk with the kids and reassure then I was ok and we were happy to have another baby.

They are very excited and talk about the baby a lot. We are all very excited and are even more excited that this baby will be a boy! We will be even! it is perfect! I am so thankful to be a mother and love my kids very much. Motherhood is my work and my glory.

Day Trip to Compo-Febuary

Originally typed in February
The Jones Family finally went out on another day trip. It felt so good to go drive to a new area, explore, act like tourist and just be together. I have been so sick with the growing baby inside me I haven't left like doing anything but It was a very nice day.
