Save The Date....

Well we have an official date as to when Baby Rudolph will be arriving. September 9, 2009. Which is pretty cool since Max's due date was 7/7/07. Although he didn't actually arrive until the 13th. :)

I have a few pictures of the ultrasound, the baby is about the size of a pinto bean right now but boy is she wreaking havoc on me! I am still struggling to get up in the morning, and afternoon, and evening. I am going to attempt to scan them shortly so I can get them posted.

It's a little scary because I have to say I had a very easy pregnancy (almost no sickness, hardly any weight gain, and fairly easy labor) with Max, and he turned out to be a very easy going kid. I hope this is not a preview of Baby #2 personality!! LOL!

Peanut Butter Recall...

This whole thing drives me nuts. What the heck is going on with our food manufactures these days. First we have tomatoes and other veggies and now Peanut Butter. I for one feel that it's pretty bad when peanut butter crackers have been contaminated with salmonella. How is that even possible? I am just disgusted about the whole thing. I am starting to get to the point where I want to grow my own food just so I know exactly what is going in it, how it's being handled and so on.

For a mom with a toddler it's almost impossible NOT to have Peanut Butter in the house but I was able to find the recall list this morning on the FDA website. About two days before the story hit the news I had just bought a new jar of peanut butter. Thankfully my product was not on the recall list. Talk about a huge sigh of relief.

I would love to hear what you think.

Pitter, Patter of little feet!

I am so exicted....One of my best friends just had her 2nd little baby girl!

I have known Pam since I was 22 and boy I could share some stories about the two of us out prowlin' but I will keep them to myself for fear of what my mother might think of me!! HE HE HE!

Pam has been living in Georgia since about 1999 and I miss her dearly. When I was single and carefree I would try and get down there to see her every year but now that we both have families it's not quite as easy to travel.

She is the prould mama to Grace Delauder - who came into the world at a whoppin' 9 lbs 5 oz and 22 in. long! She must get that from her Daddy who is like 6'7 and I am soooo not kidding!

Much love to Pam and the family for thier new addition!

Big News!

I am sure that it won't take long for all those that read my blog (all three of you! HA HA) that there is a new addition to my page. Karl and I are expecting! WOO-HOO!

We have been trying since August and it's finally happened. I haven't had my first official doctor's appointment yet, that's on Monday. As soon as I have more info I will be posting for all to see!

I have to say that this pregnancy is already different than with Max. I hardly had any morning sickness with him - it was pretty easy. Not so much with this one. I have been nauseous all day long. Have to say I am not liking it all that much. But excited all the same! Everyone in the family is rooting for a girl - I for one just want a healthy baby! Stay tuned for more news later!

A Happy New Year....

My mom was brave enough to watch all three of her Grand Son's on New Years Eve....below are just a few highlights of the big night!
Here are all three of them making some crazy faces!!

I love this one! Max is trying so hard to do what they were doing!! SO cute!

Christmas 2008....

Another holiday has come and gone...as usual we celebrated it in The Rudolph Whirlwind Fashion. We arrived in Michigan the Saturday before Christmas and I don't think we stopped until just this past Saturday when we got home. It was a hectic 2 weeks...but I am so very glad that we were able to go and see Family and most of our friends! For those that we didn't get to see we miss you dearly!

Below are a few pics of our trip...most of which will be Max since that is mostly what everyone cares to see. LOL! Enjoy....

Here is Papa Lee and Max reading the paper...

Here is Max taking a ride with his cousin Brady...this was the first time Max had really seen alot of snow. He didnt' really seem all that thrilled...

Here is is with Nana....again not too thrilled...

Here is Max and Brady again playing...Max just loved his cousin Brady...Brady on the other hand was kind of "eehhh" with Max. It was pretty funny.

Here is Max taking a bath. His Auntie Jenny (whom we now refer to Aunt ne-ne), was blowing bubbles on his face and you can clearly see he was loving it!

Here is Miss Magoo hanging out....she just loves to be up on the back of the couch....crazy dog!

Here is Max and Mommy on Christmas Eve...he just wouldn't look at the camera. There were too many things distracting him...

Here is Max with his Uncle Chris....notice how Max is telling the picture taker off - look at his finger! That kid was cracking us up!

Here is Max and Daddy on Christmas morning...Max enjoyed watching the boys open all their gifts....

Here is Max finger painting at Nana's....he enjoyed that immensely! As you can see from his fingers!

Here are the girls...Magoo on the left and Izzaboo on the right. They are pooped puppies. They had a rough 2 weeks of playing non-stop!
