I found out in October of this year that I am expecting our 4th child. This Was a wonderful and happy surprise as we have been trying for almost 2 years to get pregnant. Thus I think it was that I blocked some of the less fun parts of pregnancy from my mind. Lately I have not been having the greatest of times. I fell prey to the flu 2 weeks ago, and because of the limited Meds that I could use I was very miserable. The worst part was that I could not seem to get over it, It brought on the worst nausia and throwing up that I have had to deal with since Aby. Luckily Ryan who has been a sweetheart was there and stayed home from work to help me get better. There is a funny story that came out of this experiance and that is what I would like to record.
After being stuck in bed for 8 days, I was feeling sorta human. I needed to go and get the rest of the stocking stuffers for the kids. (hard to do when the kids come with you, but what can you do.) So I took Brooklyn and Kenzie and headed for the local target. I was almost done when I felt the throw up comming and quick. I headed for the bathroom as fast as I could, but only made it about 10 steps out into an isle, before I started throwoing up. Needless to say I was very embarressed about the whole situation. Brooklyn started yelling at the top of her lungs that we needed a doctor, so I sent her and Kenzie to find someone who worked at the store. They didn't succeed, so when they came back I left them at the cart covering the throw up and went to find and employee. When we got back Brooklyn just talking loud and being Brooklyn said very loudly, "My moms pee pee accident is right here."Didn't think it could get worse did you....I quickly shushed Brooklyn reminded her that I didn't pee just threw up. The store worker quickly covered the mess and told me that I was free to go. As we were walking away Brooklyn kept saying that she wanted to see my pee pee accident again. She does not have a quiet voice. ( I finally had to stop and tell her to stop talking about it.) We left quite quickly after that. I am glad now that I can laugh about it, but I don't think I will shop at Target for a while.

Brooklyn's nightlights
Yes ladies and gentlemen you read right I did means nightlights (as in plural). For the past year our darling Brooklyn has been terrified of the dark. We are not sure what brought this on although Ryan's current theory is the 4-D movie that I took her to in Dever last year. (How could I know that Sponge Bob would terrify her for life.) Anyway back to the story, so for the past week Ryan has been trying to get Brooklyn to sleep with the light off. (my idea was to put in a dimmer switch and slowly make it dark. the only problem.....We put in the dimmer about 10 months ago, and she still won't let us turn off the light.)
Well three nights ago Ryan put 3 yes 3 nightlights in her room and spent 20 minutes showing her that there was nothing scary. When he got back into our room he was shaking his head, saying he couldn't belive she had 3 nightlights, and still wanted the light on. He was feeling very pleased with himself though becuase she did agree to sleep with only the nightlights as long a the door was open. He also swore to me that under no cirmustances was he going to let her have 4 nightlights in her room, and I quote "she just needs to learn to sleep with the light off, it will be better for her health." I didn't tell him that the next morning her light was on, and when I questioned her she told me she got scared and turned it on.
Well sure enough bedtime comes last night and Ryan goes in to tuck in Brooklyn, and when he tried to turn the light off she started to cry saying that she was scared. Ryan was very patient and asked what she needed to not be scared......she looked right at him and said another nightlight right there and pointed to the last visiable outlet in the room. I was hiding in the hall giggling, and waiting to see what he would say. Would he stay strong and not let her have 4 or would he look at her big blue eyes and sad face and give in....sure enough he gave in and went to go and find another nightlight for her. I love the fact that my husband is such a great guy and sometimes a pushover for a cute girl.
She has now made it for 2 nights in a row without the light on. We are very proud, yet still cautious she still has one more outlet in her room....who knows one night she may need 5 nightlights. We certainly hope not and that she gets better with age.

Vacation without a camera
I know that it has been a very long time since I have posted, and well lets face it I don't really have a lot of time on my hands most days. But I do want to tell a story so that I don't forget it and the rest of you can laugh along with me.
In June of this year I had planned a camping trip to go to Arches national Park, well we didn't go the first weekend because Ryan was too busy the next weekend it was too rainy by this point the kids were getting very upset as was the mom who had done all the work to go. It turns out that Ryan hates to go south for camping so I quickly rearranged the location and instead the next weekend we went North. I am pretty sure Ryan figured out that if he didn't come we were going to leave him behind. As we were packing up the van I was done to the final few things to get outside. I packed up the camera, and started to take it outside when Mckenzie said "mom can I carry the camera? I promise to take very good care of it." I agreed.....Big mistake. I usually put the camera up in front in the jocky box or under the passenger seat. Later that day after getting everything packed and arriving at our campground. (it was beautiful and perfect, we were 100 yds away from a shallow slow moving river, the trees were everywhere, and wow it was beautiful.) I went to look for the camera to start the pictures....No camera....I asked Mckenzie where she put if she thought for a minute and said "I think I put it in a box somewhere....." Not good there are lots of boxes for camping and lots of boxes in our garage. We hunted through everything we had brought no camera. Well what can you do. We had a great trip went up to Yellowstone saw old faithfull went on the hike around the stinck pots, had a buffalo walk past the van only 2 feet away, and played around the camp. And there are no picutres to document the trip. So I am writing this to prove that it happened. The good news is when we got home we did find the camera. She had put in on the seat in the van and then I had folded the seat down for space so the camera was with us the whole time we just didn't know it. What can you do.
