oh wow...

oh wow at how long it has been since we last updated this! Okay...so here goes...we have been on the move quite a bit the last week or so. I went to a jewelry party, yippie, and got a really cute anklet for me and something for mom for mother's day. Then it was work, work, work for a few days. We finally went out with Stacey and George for the first time in over two months! It was so fun though. The boys were being hit on by the waiter, and of course they flirted back just enough to get our drinks and salads free. Stacey and I were laughing the whole time!

Friday night we had our friend Beth a 50th birthday party at El Chapala in Hickory. She had no idea we had been planning it for two weeks. I love hole-in-the-wall places to eat, but they are usually the best food. I had decorated the table with lots of 50 stuff and John, Brenda, Clinton, and I were sitting there for like 30 minutes before Beth and Mike showed up. Mike had to physically push her over to our table because she was oblivious to us waving our hands frantically in the air. We had to wait another 30 minutes almost before Patty, John, LaGina, and Gene decided to show up. They kept getting lost because some of them were not from around here. LaGina just didn't remember the name of the place so she and her husband kept driving right past it. We were there until like 9:00, and then we ran to my grandparents house to get her truck.

Then I ran to mom and dad's and picked up the seed spreader and met Clinton at Lowes. We got the grass seed stuff and the last of the retaining block for the yard. Saturday Clinton got up really early and started working on the yard until Brendan got to the house. I went by mom and dad's to get my headlight fixed. Dad called me at like 8 and said that he would fix it for me to save us a little money. We greatly appreciated that one! Shannon and Brendan came to our house to help at like 2:00, and the boys were working on the yard and wall until like 8, even in the pouring down rain! My hormones enjoyed a sweaty husband working in the yard ;) Shannon and I got some stuff to work on scrapbooks with since I figured I needed to begin the ones I started a year ago for the bachelorette party, rehearsal dinner, and our honeymoon. My goal is to finish them before the baby comes. I am trying to keep myself busy this summer so I don't go crazy. Between Shannon's math class (yay i am very excited about this one...really), my scrapbooks, and the baby's room, I feel my summer will be busy. I like busy though. Then Shannon and I got some dinner for the boys and we rented two movies, Juno and I Am Legend. Juno was really cute. We had to stop it in the middle though because there was a tornado warning for Maiden for like an hour. It was kind of scary because I had a really weird dream two nights before about our house being torn down by a tornado. (My dreams have become very vivid and random.)

Today we plan on taking it easy. Clinton is making me breakfast because he is an amazing husband. Then Clinton plans on working on the yard a little more, then taking the truck back to my grandparents. We have to pick up his car at work, and I am going to do a little school work. Hopefully we will be able to watch I Am Legend today and then maybe working on one of the scrapbooks.

On a big exciting note, Clinton felt the baby kick for the first time on Thursday night. He was so excited he grinned even in his sleep! Every time he touches my tummy, the baby kicks or moves. This time he actually felt what she was doing instead of just me telling him she is moving. It really is amazing and I know he is excited. He will be a wonderful dad. The baby already has him wrapped around her little finger, and she's not even born yet! Imagine how bad it will be when she comes out!!! Our other baby girl had all her woman parts taken out and her claws removed. She has been very clingy to Clinton and I since then. We don't mind though, she is very cute about it. The boys just keep looking at her and running away because they think they aren't getting attention. Of course they are, but it's just funny watching them. Cole is just happy he has his perch back at the top of the bookcase. I moved the books around to where it was just movies in the living room and books in the bedroom. That way, he would have a place to run away from Mac. Mac is still Mac. We love them. One big happy family :)
