Baby Girls Galore!

The babies...baby girls, to be specific are just flying out in this family right now! Brian's twin sister Stephanie had her little Samantha in April. Now we're in May and his sister Kim gave birth to Kamri on the night of Jade's reception and also the same day their family lost a very dear friend, Joey Mortensen. With all the craziness going on with the wedding, family in town, etc. we didn't get the chance to meet Kamri at the hospital. So we went out to their house on Monday to see her instead. It was fun. We got to each have some one on one time with holding her and Annie even helped her a couple times and was really sweet with her. I don't think she looks anything like her older sister, Kinsley. Their both adorable in their own ways! She's long, skinny, light hair and looks more like a Knight! Congrats Kim and J! Then yesterday we were at B's parents and Baby Samantha was there. We hadn't seen her in a month! I can't believe how quick they change! She already is so much bigger and older looking compared to Kamri and they're only 5-6 weeks apart. She is sure cute! She has this one dimple on one cheek and now that she's smiling, she shows it off and I love it! Brian was getting her to smile quite a bit, it was so cute to watch. We both got to hold her again. I loved it!

Now for the next girl...that's me! Our little girl is the next one coming! Time is flying and she'll be here in under three months! I went to the doc yesterday and things are looking better so far, for right now. I did my glucose screening and am still waiting for the results. I got my Rhogam shot again. I'm measuring fine...a little smaller than with Annie but I'm not complaining! Her heart beat was nice and strong. Anni got to come with me and when he listened to the heart beat, she ran over to me and said mommy, what's that noisy? I explained to her it was the Baby's heart and we could hear her moving around in there and she thought that was pretty neat:) I'm not passing out anymore. She's alot more active now which is good...I know she's ok. She's still pretty high. I'm not showing as fast and I'm not swollen! Woo hoo! Last time at this point I was already swelling due to my toxemia. So keep your fingers crossed! I'm feeling really good except the usual...a little tired here and there, a little un comfortable at times trying to sleep, sometimes a little achy, randomly some slight heart burn but NOTHING like last time where I lived off tums every single night!, hungry and thirsty often and a coupke days ago the random bloody nose but nothing serious...just pregnant! We are so excited to meet this little girl! My next appointment I get my 3-D pictures done of her. I can't wait! We did it with Annie and she looked just like them! Annie and Brian will come watch I'm sure. We are treasuring our time together right now but are excited to grow as a family of 4!

Brain's sister, Melanie is expecting a girl 3-4 weeks after me. She has three boys and this is it so it's pretty amazing she got her girl and we are all so thrilled! The best part is on her hubby's side there is a curse of the boys...he has all brothers and one sister. Other than that one girl, that's it. She's the princess. They have 17 grand SONS I believe. So #18 will make 17 grand sons and finally a grand daughter!!! That's gotta be some kind of record! Sp Yvette has to pass over the tiara! ha ha We can't wait to meet her! Their boys are adorable and she will be too! I'm suprised the Rojas family hasn't put her on strict bed rest to take care of this little girl! ha ha Mel was hospitalized yesterday for kidney stones while pregnant!!! The poor girl couldn't even have pain killers! She's a champ and pulled through and we're so happy to hear she's feeling better and baby is safe!:)

Jade and Mike's Wedding Reception

Jade's wedding reception was indescrbable. It was absolutely perfect, breath taking, and gorgeous! She had every minor detail nailed! It cooled down and was even breezy for the recepton so it was a perfect night! The food was by FAR the BEST food I've ever had at a wedding reception. Her cake was amazing and tasted amazing too! All of the centerpieces, tables, high tops, lights, torches, the sign in area, candy table, etc. was just perfect! I tried to get some pictures but they don't do it justice! Anaston was a hit! She found friends she recognized from the shower and such and played all night. It was nice. Brian and I got to hang out, talk to people, enjoy the reception, and eat thanks to Annie being the popular item! I had kids coming up to me all night tapping me and saying," Annie's mommy, where's Annie? I want to play with her some more!" Or Keisha's adorable little boy asking her to dance and then kept saying, "I want to dance with you more, Annie!" Thanks to her we really enjoyed ourselves and she obviously had a blast as well! It was definately a party, the dancing looked like alot of fun, and decorating the car was fun too! Jaymee and Haya took major control with writing on the car. I spared you the words, minus the first pic on my blog that I could not leave out!...ha ha Chris, Brian, Brooklyn and a couple nephews of Mike's and cousins of ours did the decorating. Brian's special touch was the pop cans dragging behing like in the movies! Annie and I just had fun watching and assisting! I'm so happy Jade and Mike did it! We're so excited for them! Sorry the pic's are out of order and there's alot of them but hey, this is my last sister's wedding and I wanted to remember everything about this special day!:)

And they're off!(Do not hold these words on the car against me...I didn't write it!!!)

Craig and Londy Lou

The wedding was such a fun experience! I'm so happy I was able to be such a big part of it and not only be her sister and very involved, but her maid of honor and hair stylist! A couple days before the wedding, a bunch of us went and got pedicures together and it was so much fun to have that one on one time with JAde and talk to her about getting married. She is such a crack up and such a good friend and sister. I'm so happy she ended up with someone so patient, kind and undersatnding like Mike. They will be great for eachother! I'm really glad I go the chance to know his family more. They are really good people! The day after Jade's wedding, after saying byt to most our family, we got to watch Jade and Mike open all their presents and watch their wedding video. It was nice to all be together once more before hih two sisters went back to Cali and Idaho. Thanks for including us in your special day and other occasions! We really enjoyed it and are so happy for you, Mike and Jade! We love you!
