My new friend

I have decided to embrace my new PICC line! At first I was a little nervous about a tube going into my arm and ending up 3 centimeters from my heart, but after 2 liters of fluid/vitamins today I am feeling great!! So It might not be so bad after all. I am ready to start feeling better already and whatever I need to make that happen - works for me!

I am sorry...

I want to apologize for not posting anything recently. It is not that we have not had interesting events happening in our lives, its just that I am SOOO SICK!! What were we thinking? We know I get super sick when I am pregnant, why does it not seem that bad when we are entertaining the idea of getting pregnant? For future reference - IT IS THAT BAD!!! Anyways, last week I was admitted to the hospital for an IV, because I am so dehydrated, and I am getting there again pretty quick. Dan has been busy working at Slices, and taking my place at the Hot Dog cart. Ryleigh & Spencer are still in school (school gets out on June 14th) and Ethan is home here with me. He has been so great to just chill while I hang out in the bathroom. Well I wish I had something more fantastic to post, but really I feel lucky to have been able to type all this - I just hope it is coherent. peace.

Just a wee bit 'o news...

We just found out this week that we are expecting a baby in the first week of January! We have not told our kids yet, so if you talk to them try not to mention it!

The Coast

My sister and her husband are visiting us this week so we took a big -ol family trip to the Coast last weekend. We had a lot of fun, actually, it was sunny and in the upper 60's - beautiful weather. The kids got fully submerged in the water and us adults just sat back at laughed at them. We also went to an Aquarium thingie in Newport, which was pretty cool too (although over-priced)! Here are some great pics!

HOT DOGS!!

YIPEEE!! It is spring - and baseball is in the air. Tomorrow is opening day for the little league here in Corvallis, and both the boys are playing T-ball and they are on opposing teams (they play each other twice!) I am so excited also because that means that it is Hot Dog cart time! This year my dad got the contract to do the concessions for the Little league here and I am totally stoked! I am going to be busy busy busy for the next few weeks! YEAH!!

Webcams!

As most of you know, we have made the big move from Texas to Oregon. It was a lot of fun (do you hear the sarcasm) to travel all those miles with our kids and pets. It was fun to see all of our family in Arizona though.
So anyways - the town that we have relocated to is the town of Corvallis. This is the home of Oregon State University, and my dad's new restaurant - Slices Pizzeria. So you gotta check this out - Click on the link at the bottom that says "Monroe Street Webcam!" and you will see Slices. The webcam is pointed directly at the building. You can see the back parking lot and everything! It only updates every 30 seconds, but you never know - maybe someday you'll see us coming or going!

Saturday Night Cleaver

So last Friday night Dan and I were invited to a Disco bash at our friend Kim's house. It was a murder mystery dinner titled "Saturday Night Cleaver" and it was SOOO fun! I played the role of Polly Ester Stuffincupp and Dan played the role of Brady Bunsch AKA Gallaleo Figaro. Neither of us ended up being the murderer but it was so fun to see all of our friends decked out in their 70's gear - Thank heavens for Goodwill!!!!!!!! Here are some pictures.
