~My Mud-Running Boys~

Can I just tell you they had so much fun. I love seeing them spending time together doing these things. They got 1st place in the tough truck competition and won $100.00 and second in the mud run. The weather was Ok...they did have a really bad thunderstorm but nothing will stop my boys from going in the mud. LOL......Brandon blew the motor in his truck so now he has a blazer they are going to rebuild for Sept. mud run. Darren's blazer is still running. It amazes me after the beating it has taken since high school..I can vouch for that one.!! (huh Dad. Priest)? LOL...you have the gray hair to show for it. ha ha....well here are the pictures from their weekend. I am so proud of them and for Darren in instilling into Brandon "It does not matter if you win, it is that we had a good time" he is such a good DAD!!!! Thank you honey for being there for him..he looks up to you soooo much!!!! 143

~Back from the U/S~

Baby is perfectly healthy~~~ The neonatologist looked over all the films and said baby is fine. I was so nervous before hand. I guess I am just a worrier. I just wanted this baby to be healthy and have no problems and GOD made that happen. We are so blessed and thankful......and the results are: .....................................................................its a BOY!!! Brandon was so happy ..he said "Yeah I got the baby brother I wanted."!!!!! so I made his day. We went to the Olive Garden to celebrate and I had a virgin Pina Colada and Darren had a Margarita (lucky him).....so we had a good day and now we are home kids are tucked in and I am off to bed a long and emotional day. Thank you for all your well wishes and prayers they meant a lot to us.!!! Now to shop for boy clothes......you know Cailan and I love to shop!!!! xoxo

~18 week appt.~

Well the appt. went well. My triple screen came back normal so that is good. I have gained 9lbs. so far I am trying to be good since I worked so hard to lose almost 100 lbs. before we got pregnant. I am feeling good just really tired. I can't see why .......chasing a two year old all day would do that to anybody...but I would not have it any other way. She is starting to understand that Mommy has a baby in her belly. She talks to my belly button and says "Hi baby". I think she is copying her daddy because he does it. LOL.... We go for the BIG ultrasound on Monday!!!!! We are excited and nervous at the same time. I just want this baby to be healthy and well nomatter what we get. We just want a healthy baby!!!! Well Brandon was a few points away from making honor roll for his last quarter. He did so well all year long. All A's and B's except for a few C+....we can't complain. Darren and him are getting geared up for Mudrun season this year. I will not be going...Cailan and I will make our annual trip to Freeport for a girls day of shopping and more shopping. Thats my girl. Well that is it for now. Will keep you posted when I know more. Love to you all. Say a prayer for our little peanut that all is well. xoxo
