When lifes got you down....

These kids will cheer you up!

Ricky Chiappetta

Ricky,

My kiddos adored you, my family loved you like their own, you stood next to my brother with a smile on your face as he said, "I do" two weeks ago, you always thought of others first, you made car rides from College Station to Temple so fun and entertaining, you always asked people sincerely how they were doing, you were third wheel ALWAYS with Ty and Shannon and they never ever minded, you made our hearts smile....

Rick Joseph Chiappetta was killed head on in a car accident today on his way to Sam Houston State University. The driver that hit him feel asleep at the wheel. Ricky stood at Tyler's side at his wedding on Sept. 11th 2010 and I can still see his smile when the exchanged the words, "I do". He had such a loving heart and always thought of others. Today we mourn Ricky.....to see both my brothers heart ache I wish there was more that I could do. Ricky was always there for my family and he will be greatly missed.

Sweet Noelle

Sneak Peek of a little angel!

little brown footprints

Allen has this thing about "boys airing out" so this morning Reese was airing out and was running around diaperless. We take this opportunity to talk about the potty and what goes in the potty hoping that Reese will get it and go teetee or potty in there. Allen took Ginny to school since this morning has been pretty chaotic. We got a continuous call at 5:20AM from a dallas number and after calling back 2 times we found out that it was just a wrong number. We were ALL up and wide awake and had settle back in to sleep which was soooo hard. SO, needless to say, we didnt ALL wake up until 8:30AM and Ginny has to be at school at 9AM, NICE! So, it was like a scene from Home Alone around here were we are all yelling and trying to get everyone out of the door.

In the morning, Reese watches a show and I check my emails, facebook, blogger etc. He ran into the playroom that is off our kitchen and I heard him coloring on the chalkboard. Remember the AIRING out thing, yeah, well I should have known. Well, he came to me and was saying, "yuck" and pointing to his foot. I checked the TOP of his foot and everything seemed ok and he ran to keep playing in his playroom.

I saw him running into the living room where his potty was and thought to myself, "He is gonna do this and I will get the Mommy of the Year award for teaching my son to be potty trained before TWO". Then, I heard PLOP PLOP PLOP and Reese was standing up.........Then, with such excitement he raised his hands and said, "I DID IT". See...he picked up his poop and ran into the living room to PLACE it into the potty and to little Reese, mission was accomplished. It took 2 seconds to look down and see little poop foot prints everywhere! Footprints and plops of poop covered the hallway and carpet. But, atleast Reese DID IT!!! hahahaha!!! SO cute, but this Mommy is thinking that we will wait for potty training for a couple of months since cleaning up this morning was an hour project. I would have taken pictures but none of my friends would want to have their girls date Reese because it was such a disaster.....so think of little brown footprints and there you go!

HAPPY THURSDAY!!!!

Better when we're together.....

The hardest time for me is when Ginny is at school and Reese is home with me. He misses his sister sooo much! Even though they fight every 2 seconds when they are both at home it beats the "where is Ginny" all day long from Reese. He adores his sister and she adores him. You would never think this as they tend to scream, bite, hit, and take from each other. Deep down I know that they could not live without one another. Here are some random pics that I found on my computer that I took.....I love when they dont know I am watching~

12 weeks and 5 days

(I LOOK ROUGH, just rolled out of bed and took this in Ginny's bathroom...dont judge!)

I am nearing the 13 week and I feel GREAT except for a little nausea here and there! SOOOO much better than where I was four weeks ago. YUCK! That was ROUGH! I still take my Zofran every morning to make sure the nausea stays away. The baby is almost the size of a peach, according to Babycenter.com, and looks just like a human! I find out on Oct. 6th, if it is a BOY or GIRL! I am soooo excited about this since the shopping and planning can begin! I eat ALL THE TIME and cannot get enough....this all started week 12. I cannot wait to watch my belly GROW GROW GROW~
