Trouble at the Homestead

Don't let this picture fool you at all. She is cute, adorable, cuddly, polite, and gives the best kisses ever................................this is what I keep chanting to myself



terrible two's is just a phase, it will pass
terrible two's is just a phase, it will pass
terrible two's is just a phase, it will pass

It is my phrase of the month!!!!!!!! This girl has got attitude and is the biggest bully ever. Her and Sicilee go the rounds all day long. The tantrums and independence of this child are at a level even I am unaware could happen. We sure do love this little girl. My favorite lately is when we go to a public bathroom and I let her go first, then as I am finishing I get the "good job mom" with a high five and pound it. EVERYTIME. LOL Still taking naps......oh so grateful right now. And is my wart on my bum all day long. Does everything with me, shower, makeup, hair, lotion, toe painting, all the fun girlie stuff.


Aside from my 2 year old being 2
BOY HAS IT BEEN A LONG WEEK AT THE WATTS HOUSE!!!!!!!!!

A better explanation of the pics of my toughest Jaycers ever. It started out as me thinking a bad flu bug...............it just hasn't stopped for a week now. Just a fever, stomach pain, and a whole lot of vomiting (mixed in with sleepless nights) This poor girl by day 4 was so dehydrated that we had to go in for 2 days for an IV, followed by blood tests, x-rays, totaling about 5 trips to the doc in a week. Talk about a trooper though, every time they poked her she didn't even flinch. Actually I am pretty sure she does better than me with the needles :) So just when I thought maybe I would start getting sleep again.......this morning Jayc starts up with the vomiting, Sicilee has a bad cough mixed with an ear infection, and Aynslee woke up crying with the nasty croupy cough. As I laid there almost in tears already awake when the alarm went off , it is then I started a new chant:

I can do this, all moms do

I can do this, all moms do

I can do this, all moms do

LOL i am just exhausted!! To the point of having some serious unwanted, way too early contractions. Although it has been almost a whole week since I have had morning sickness and aside from lack of sleep I do seem to just barely be getting the second trimester energy:)

I had my ultrasound and I really think this last one is definitely going to be the "odd" man out child. All 3 first kids were grabbing and playing with their bums and had the hiccups, this one decides to grab her toes and suck on them. All 3 kids have been born on the 11th day of the month, most likely not for this one. Although it is the same exact due date as Jaycee had. I am just hoping to be home with my family for Christmas and not spending it in the hospital :)

My sister Halley and I have been having Sunday dinners lately and cooking things we crave. We came across a recipe for churros here are some questionable pics:

So basically teeny turds, sugar-coated turds, and boiling turds. We are now not craving churros for some odd reason!

My pregnant sisters and I are sharing the same brain without even knowing it. I had rescheduled my ultrasound 3 times (due to baseball) Nickole had hers from day 1 and Halley scheduled hers 2 weeks before she went in. We all ended up on the same day within an hour of each other. WEIRD. I cheated of course and am still clearly having a girl, Nickole is having another boy, and Halley is most likely having twin girls! All happy and healthy babies.

There is the Watts update and school starts in 1 day! Jaycee in 1st grade, Sissy in preschool, and JoJo to the sitter!
