Gone Painting

This last weekend, Jared and I got the great idea to paint our house!!! We have wanted to do it for a VERY long time, but it finally came to pass this last weekend, since it was a long and Jared would be home to help!! Both us have been very tired of the white walls. Especially ours because I have NO decorations up! Friday we went and picked up the paint and supplies and then got going on Saturday morning. We painted the dining room, family room, hallway, and entryway. I LOVED the color I picked. How many of you pick the color you want and then when you paint it ends up being a different color, maybe a little too dark? I found a perfect solution that has worked for me. I find the color I like and then when they are mixing it up, I have them do it half formula. It ends up being exactly the color I wanted and not too dark!!! Try it next time!!

Anyway, we got up Monday and finished painting one wall downstairs and the office. We then ran out of paint and in a couple of weeks, when we get more time, we will finishing painting the kitchen and the other wall going downstairs. Pictures will come, but I have to figure out where to hang my stuff again. Rearranging and all that!!

Update on the Pregnancy

I went in last week for two ultrasounds. Yup, you read that right. I had to go into Maternal Fetal because I had the blood clot with Jayce and they always have to do some checks to make sure I am okay and the baby is okay. I also had to get one for my doctor.

The baby looks healthy and no we don't know what the gender is!!! Jared really wanted to find out, but I need that little bit of excitement to look forward too on delivery day! There are some concerns with me. My placenta is kind of close to my cervix. For right now, they are just going to watch me and make sure everything is okay. My doctor said that if it does get close, they will have to do a c-section, which is what I have anyway, so it should be fine. I am still a little nervous. I have been nervous since we found out we were having this one. I think it is because this is number 4 and I am getting a little older!!! Anyway, here are some cute pictures of the little man (or girl!!!)

Cute profile picture with the arm up!

Both Jared and I really like this picture. You can see the baby's belly on the left and then his legs go up the other side to form a V. The legs look really long to me!! This baby was just a kicking his or her legs tons before this picture.

Cookies, Cookies, Cookies

Last night, the girls and I made some sugar cookies. My friend Jen has a GREAT recipe. Thanks Jen. They were amazing. It made a ton of sugar cookies too. I don't have a heart shaped cookie cutter, so we just did circles. Jayce wanted the frosting orange, so I guess it is a good thing that we didn't do hearts!! Anyway if you are in the mood for sugar cookies, check out this recipe. It is DELISH!!!!

The Dancing Queens

My girls just LOVE to dance. They certainly didn't get that from me!!! Kylee is a ham when she dances, quite the little performer! Jayce loves to spin in dresses, and Emily, well, what can I say about little Mayham!!! Here is a video I took of the girls dancing. You all know how it goes, when the camera is on they don't quite perform their best ever!! They were always wanting to look at the pictures and then of course Kylee and Jayce get into a fight at the end! But, at least you can get the idea!
