Soccer team

So this is kaitlyns first year of soccer and she is doing great- I am actually surprised at how much she loves it! She gets so excited to go! She plays for the Ashland dragons and her games are on sundays. she has practices two days a week- Boy I am already getting tired of driving three days a week to practices- HA HA

Pregnancy

I just wanted to enter in a text entry into the blog for the record as long as all goes well this will be our last baby- My body hates being pregnant. I hate they way pregnancy is for me feeling sick 24/7 and gaining 60 pounds- so much fun-(yes I have already gained weight and none of my clothes fit) I am thankful for the fact that I can have children and that the two that I have are wonderful but why is being pregnant so hard on me. I feel as if I am sea sick for days and months in a row and anyone that knows what it is like to be sea sick they will understand that it is just a terrible feeling. I do hope this baby wants to stay inside for longer than caleb but it was the only advantage of having a preterm baby is that I wasn't sick for 9 months last time- just 7.
If it wasn't for Ryan really wanting another kido I can't say I would have wanted to do this again. I know that it will be worth it but right now this is miserable. I have tried everything- big meals/ little meals/ snacks/ crackers/ ginger ale- b6- unisom. so far noting. The only things that seems to help is having something in my mouth like gum, jolly ranchers, lifesavers etc.- and I now have a sore in my mouth from those. I would like to say for the record-- KIDS are FUN.
I know it could always be worse so this is the only entry you will here about me feeling nauseous.

Carter mountain

Last weekend we took the kids to an apple orchard and picked apples. We had a great time and great weather. The kids fell asleep again in the car so I had to include the photo because it seems to happen every time we go somewhere. We picked jonagold and golden delicous. they are wonderful and the kids eat peanut butter and apples daily for a snack! Fun!

Black swallowtail caterpillar

These are the caterpillars that the kids captured from my parsely plant. We have 4 of them- 3 are now in cacoons and we have one left- we are watching them turn into butterflies. COOL- the kids love them. I had to move the tank outside on the table because they stink.

T-ball game

We have had 2 T-ball games and kaitlyn has now figured out what hand her glove goes on and which side of the plate to stand on- hey she does swing the bat right and stand on the right side of the plate so we are headed toward something good! her teams name is the cardinals.

The BIG Day

Today was Kaitlyn's first day of school. She did great. She got on the bus without a peep and never looked back. The bus driver let us get on the bus and take pictures.

Baltimore

We had so much fun!! First we went to the musuem, then we went to the hotel and the kids and ryan took a nap and I went for a run around the inner harbor- it reminds me a lot of seattle. We went to camden yards and watched an exciting baseball game- the kids had so much fun. Then on sunday we went to the farmers market which was amazing and then up to take a quick photo of Charm city cakes. (the food network show 'Ace of Cakes') What a great day.

Little Italy

We bought a cannoli and an eclair at this italian bakery. All of the fire hydrants in little italy and green-white-red. It's awesome. Lastly is a pic of me about to eat a cannoli while driving.

National Museum of Dentistry

Who knew that this musuem would have been so cool- they really have done a great job making it fun for the entire family- of coarse ryan had the best time but so did the kids. I am sure Ryan would put photos of teeth and famous people but here are a few photos of what I tought was cool.

Papa and Nana took the kids out in the boat for a adventure. We got a lot of crab and one salmon- Kaitlyn got her first fish. I need some more photos- here are a few
