The cutest things ever...




Ok, these are Caleigh's toys from McDonald's happy meals....and I just fell in love with them. I wish I had been collecting them throughout the happy meal weeks. I would love to have them all. I am not even obsessive about the Wizard of Oz but they are some of the cutest toys I've seen in a long time....like anyone cares, but I do! So there...

The due date is....

....tentatively December 7th....Pearl Harbor Day....Cameron's birthday....and the 8th is my Mom's birthday.

I am honestly hoping that our baby is born on a day that is has no other birthdays to share with anyone. I guess that is selfish, but that's how I feel. Can't help it.

Dane was born on Yukie's birthday, which I think is kinda cool, but she's not part of the family either.

So the due date could change in about 11-12 weeks when we get the first look at the sonogram! :) Am SO looking forward to that. And we have two to look forward to this time. Last time we got lucky to have two (the Navy hospital would only do one).

That's the latest news....will keep posting.

bluebonnet time!












Virginia took us to our favorite bluebonnet patch the other day and the city that it was in had recently bulldozed the whole field! I don't know what they were thinking, but it really pissed me off! So, we drove around and found a small little patch of thick bluebonnets by the tractor supply in the same town and got the kids out and went snapping away with our cameras. They were really good sports, but Dane kept picking the flowers and tore a bunch up. Caleigh wanted so badly to take them with her! They are both so stinkin' cute together!

These are the last of the Easter pictures. We got some awesome pics of Dane and Caleigh yesterday with our state flower. Will post those soon. Can't wait to scrapbook those....am SO behind on my scrapbooking.... :(

Tokyo DisneySea



















My brother's girlfriend (who I'm looking forward to meeting) had some pictures on her myspace that inspired me to post these.
I miss so very much being able to catch a train and just be at one of my favorite places on earth in just a matter of a little over an hour. I admit, I cry at Disneyworld commercials (sometimes). I dream about going back to Disneyworld, Tokyo DisneySea, and Tokyo Disneyland. I also dream of visiting all the Disneyparks on earth...Paris not so much, but I absolutely must go to the one in Hong Kong! I love Disneyworld/Tokyo Disneyparks almost or as much as I love Japan and miss them just as much too. I am so glad we went as much as we did when we were there, but I wish we had gone more. I just love it....so much! I am also glad Micah got to come along to Disneysea when he came to visit us. So if any of this makes me a slightly strange girl, so be it. I wouldn't trade it for the world. It truly is the happiest place on earth. I think people who don't like Disneyparks or don't understand what all the fuss is about are the crazy ones!
And seriously, how different do we all three look today? For those of you who knew us back in the day....

Easter basket time!






The Easter bunny (aka me) brought Dane Thomas trains and Sir Topham Hat and Mr. Conductor and other Sodor people and lots of other goodies including candy and sand scoopers. One train Dane received plays the Thomas song when you push a button on it. He loves it most! :)
Mr. bunny brought Luke candy, beef jerky, popsicles and car wash stuff (which he seemed to like all of it). Do I love my boys or what? I really do adore and love them more than anything. I wish I could've given Scooter an Easter basket too! :)

Easter decorations....











I love decorating my house for holidays (mostly Christmas) but since we had Easter at our house this year I thought some good decorations were in order. I pretty much needed to buy everything except for baskets (of which I had some and borrowed some more)....and my goal was to make our house look "smashing baby" for this holiday and I succeeded! :) Not pictured are some Easter stuffed animals and window clings....my favorite thing we bought this year is the Easter egg lights around all my photos. Thanks for telling me I had to get them, Virginia. Easter went really well and it was quite a happy day! Maybe we'll have it here again next year!
