Morning sickness is here!

Morning sickness has hit with a vengeance . I am so tired and sick all day, I'm not really sure how I'm functioning. We think that the baby is upset about the idea of being born in Roswell, so it's letting me know by making me sick. It's a good thing that Erick has been home so much this week because the kids wouldn't have eaten dinner otherwise. So, I'm sorry that I haven't been commenting on blogs or emailing anyone back. I can barely get out of bed all day. Hopefully in 5 or 6 weeks I'll be feeling better and back online more.

Our new addition

No, it's not our new baby (he/she won't be here for a while.) Erick's job has him on the road and out of town a lot and fortunately since he got here in November, he has had a free place to stay everynight when he couldn't be at home. But, the job site has moved and he was going to have to stay in a hotel most nights. So, we decided to purchase a trailer for him to stay in. It is much cheaper than paying for a hotel everynight and there is enough room for me and the kids to stay with him on the weekends when he can't come home. We are parking it at Justin and Michelle's house for a week or two until Erick is ready to use it and then we will be moving it to Portales. Without further ado, here are the pictures!

Baby makes six

That's right......we're expecting! We just found out and are still kind of in shock, but we are so excited and can't wait to be parents of another beautiful baby. We planned on not telling anyone for a while, but Erick spilled the beans and told the kids, so we decided to just tell everyone now and hope for the best. The girls are both excited and Caden doesn't really grasp the concept. Everytime we tell him that there is a baby in my tummy, he yells at me and says "No baby in your tummy!!!" He takes everything very literally and what he can't see, doesn't exist. So, he'll be in for a surprise in October when we bring a baby home. Hopefully he'll adjust okay.

Back Blogged: Dance camp and hamper bed

A couple of weeks ago, Michelle was kind enough to come and pick up Cierra, so that she could sleepover at their house and go to dance camp the next morning with Shakayla. Cierra had so much fun at the sleepover and at dance camp. I only got a short video because my camera battery died, but here it is. Cierra and Shakayla are in the back row. Thanks again Michelle!



And here is Caden's newest invention. He likes to take all the mesh bags off our hamper and then put a blanket over it, so that he can hide out in it. When he was playing in it a couple of weeks ago, he fell asleep and took his entire nap in there.


Pictures of our new town and our fantastic *note sarcasm* new place are coming soon!
