I can't even remember what all we've been up to lately, isn't that horrible. Just checking out the fisher's blog reminded me that the boys and I picked up movies last Friday and all the stuff to make homemade pizzas and spent the night cooking and watching t.v together. Jeff had caught the same bug I had so he wasn't really included in the nights' activities. The boys were thrilled to make their own pizzas and the three of us just had a really good time hanging out together. Austin went to Pizza Pro a few weekends ago with Cub Scouts and got to make his own pizza there, so he was sure to share his insight with us on how to properly make a pizza. So, I guess I should try to keep up with blog thing more because it is easy to forget the little fun things or the cute things the kids say when we live such crazy busy lives. I would love to make my blog into a book somehow someday so I can always look back and remember the little things we find happiness in.
Preston has been so amazed and loving during this pregnancy. He hugs my belly often and lays his head on my belly, just always giving me and his little sister love. I can't get enough. I know he is just going love his little sister right up. I'm sure Austin will, too. However, he doesn't really like to touch the belly, when she moves he says it freaks him out. The other day when we got home from a busy afternoon of cleaning, a birthday party, and a trip to the mall, my feet were so swollen you couldn't see my ankles and Austin was just disgusted by that, he was like that is so gross mom. He cracks me up.

I know it's been too long! I'm so ready for the holidays. I love Christmas time and absolutely can't wait to bring home our little girl soon! Hopefully, anytime after Friday she will arrive. So much has happened I don't where to begin. I guess instead of trying to catch up on every detail, I'll give the highlights: going backwards:
* Jeff and Austin go hunting- Austin actually enjoyed sitting in the stand for nearly six hours is what they said. They say a deer but it was right before dark and Jeff didn't have a clear shot at it.
* Preston and I went to church and afterwards enjoyed the afternoon at the Arena Hot Wheels Zoom Day. He loved it, he got to race a hot wheel car and won two ribbons and two new hot wheels. The little things that make kids happy. I loved to watch his face light up with excitement this day.
* I had a false alarm and was in the hospital for about 5 hours while the pumped fluids in me to get my fever down and help my contractions go away. I guess I caught a virus and got dehydrated which caused the contractions. Luckily, I was able to go home because I still have a lot to do to get ready for maternity leave at school.
*Jeff also got the bug the day after me so he was stuck on the couch for a couple of days, too. He even had to postpone the hunting adventure with Austin a day.
* alright to be continued, the boys are calling
