Baby Girl

so we found out Thursday we are having a little girl and we picked out a first name .. Her name will be Ellie.. just no middle name.. I like Mae ..but i would worry about the Beverly hillbillies connection. I also like Clare. So below are my ultra sound pics some are hard to make anything out..

Making your home sing Mondays

Welcome to the Making Your Home Sing Monday meme!hosted here by Mom's the Word Every day you are doing something to make your house into a home for yourself and your family (if you have one). My point with each Monday post is, what are you doing or going to do today to make your home sing? It can be an attitude or an action. Motivation, our attitude, baking, encouraging our husband or children (if we have either one), organization, cleaning, saving money....the opportunities are endless.





Well my home isn't really singing..There is a ton of stuff to do and the yuckies have taking over , both my hubby and sister have sinus infections and my daughter and son have upper resp. issues and are both on antibiotics, steroids, prescription cough syrup with codeine, miah on three inhalers and gussy on singular pill and two nebulizers .. so every two hrs i m and prying my self out of bed to medicate someone. I ve been put on light duty by my ob because I have placental previa and am still having migraines, I'm not allowed to lift more than 15lbs and no strenuous activities.So my sister is doing most the cooking and cleaning and taking care of the kids.It seems everyday there is more to do and less getting done. SO I hope the new meds the Dr gave me take care of the headache's so i can make my home sing again. Hope all is well with everyone else..

happy Homemaker Monday

So what am I doing to make my home sing this week. SLOWING DOWN.. this past week was SUPER busy for us. it was county fair time and Hootin and hollarin festival.. in years past these have been back to back but this year they were the SAME TIME.. Last saturday was the fair pageant you can see pics HERE.. and then we had to take all our entries to the fair our family entered several things.. I entered my two crocheted bibs , the pup and the pig and a baby blanket and Miah entered her Bunny , My sister in law had a blanket, some sugar cane , a 142lb pumpkin and two pigs and a goat.. she won grand champion with her cane(used to make molasses it think) it was grown by my hubby's grandpa who processes it every year it is SO good, also the pumpkin won best of show and grand champion , as did the goat and pigs.. our bunny got a second ribbon my crochet stuff got third..i guess i had a few loose thread OH WELL.. We had a the baby contest and animal shows on Thursday i spend all day at the fair till from around 9 am till about 11pm. Miah had a dentist appointment that am as well.. Friday we went to feed the bunny then to hootin and hollarin for another pageant both kids were in .. they didn't win anything either time but they had fun.. i am putting a few pics below.. Friday night after hubby got off work we went back to Hootin an Hollarin , listened to the bluegrass , ran into several friends and a lot of family. then spend all day Saturday at the fair watching the parade of champions , and the chain saw cutting contest, the kids rode rides, I even got to ride ONE.. it was a Farris wheel that used to belong to Michael Jackson and was at never land.. it was sold a while before his death when he was liquidation things after his trial.. but i rode it.. just to say i did.. i learned im not a fan of heights..

So my home is actually singing this week for the first time in a long time.. I cant say it is all because I found my motivation and put my nose to the grindstone and divided and conquered..NOPE it is because my husband and sister helped me a lot getting things done.. My three year old even picked up her room (after literally a ALL DAY fight, many times outs and spankings) BUT SHE DID GET IT DONE!!! I was so proud of her and rewarded her.so the dishes are done, all the floors swept and mopped, the pantry arranged, groceries put up .. fresh sheets on the beds and final coat of paint done in our new room and hubby got all the wiring done and ceiling fan up in Gussy's new room and our room.. we are now ready to touch up the ceiling where i (oops) painted it by accident.. lay sub floor and wood floor.. that is next weekends project..SO today the to do list is fold and put away the laundry in the bed room and wash more..I go on the 24th for my ultrasound to find out what we are having.. Happy Monday everyone..

trip to silver dollar city

Last sunday we took the kids to Silver Dollar City in Branson, Mo around a hour and a half from our house.. We love the whole family enviroment and the rides. So below are the few pics we took.. we were having such a good time we didnt take many pics.. Although one funny moment stuck out to me.. We spun this "Wheel of Fortune"..And mine said "one and one make ten if one and one are rabbits" .. seems to be pretty true since we have been married four years and will soon have 3 kids.
Dans said "dont exceed the feed limit".. funny cause he is so SKINNY.. and Miah's said "smile let the world wonder what your up to." .. TO TRUE... so here are our pics..
