Can she do that?

Kaci has decided that we were mean and inconsiderate when we decided on her name. First she was set on changing her name to "Sara" and naming the baby "Kaci." I guess that didn't work for her, so tonight she tried something different.

Her name is now Rebecca.

It is pretty darn funny, but she is so set on it. She asked for the salt to be passed to her at dinner, and we told her that Rebecca doesn't like salt, only pepper. No, that didn't work, because she is Rebecca, so she knows what Rebecca likes.

We'll see how long this one lasts...

Mother's Day

I had the best day yesterday. I woke up late (they let me sleep in!) and found two gorgeous girls, with their big blue eyes smiling at me, saying "Happy Mother's Day!" I am so lucky to be their Mommy.

The day was special and simple and perfect. Shanna wrote why she loves me and framed it at school. Kaci made the cutest card ever. Shanna helped her with the words, and drew a picture that Kaci colored. It is so heartwarming to see your kids work together.

Tyler made his famous omelets for breakfast and grilled steak for dinner. We played and laughed and planted some new flowers. I even got an afternoon nap! I felt so loved and special!

I always wish Tyler and I could be with our Moms on Mother's Day... I hope they felt our love yesterday even though we were far away.

Softball Time

Shanna had her first softball game last night. She is playing Awesome this year! You can see that she is her Daddy's girl - she has his natural upper body strength. She played 3rd base and she can really rip that ball over to first! Every time she was up to bat, she would smack it to the outfield!

Kaci was entertaining, as usual!

...And Happy

How did I marry the most gorgeous man in the world??

Baby Date!

I just heard from the doctor, and our baby is going to be born on June 4th! That's less than 4 weeks away! I am so excited to know the date and get everything planned. I think Shanna was born one day too late, she's on the 5th of May, Kaci is the 4th of October and baby is going to be on the 4th of June! Grandmas... start your planning!

Would you wake her?

Aieaiyaaiii... where do I start??? Let's just say "it was a day" and leave it at that. Anyways, little miss stinker finally got her nap, but 30 minutes later, it was time to run again. I had to make the hard choice on to wake a peaceful (for the first time in the day) princess or let her sleep. I chose to wake the sleeping dragon... and paid for it.

Shanna had a good time at her science fair, she didn't win anything but overall it was a good day for her. I took a picture on the other camera and it's in the car... I'll post it later. We are off to a softball game. I feel like lately I could be an air traffic controller. I make sure the planes stay in the air with the right people in them at the right time, with the right equipment. More later, this plane is ready for departure!

Regional Science Fair

Since Shanna won first place at her school science fair, she is going to the regional science fair tomorrow!

She is not really that thrilled, she is missing a field trip and from 9-12 she has to sit in front of her project. *Parents are not allowed during that time. Sounds dumb, huh? I guess it forces them to be responsible for answering the judge's questions on their own.

I am trying to talk it up about how much of an honor it is, but I guess for a kid missing the first field trip of the year it isn't that great. I'll take a few pictures and post them tomorrow! Wish her luck!
