kids!

While Tati is away at school.. we miss her tons!

These 2 get along great and the boy loves doing whatever the girls do and MORE!

he is very adventurous..

on another note..

What do your kids eat??

(sometimes.. I even let them watch t.v. while eating lunch)

cheesy roll ups are a staple in our home; but there are ways to dress them up!

(I add deli meat and spinach sometimes)

Here: they are eating plain ole cheesy roll ups (I do this when I know they'll eat the veggies on the side), edemame, and red pears.

 this meal consisted of no coercion or encouragement to eat! I love that :)

Dang my kids are cute :)

another side note; I'm in my 2nd trimester now: almost 14 weeks and I started throwing up. I think about 4 or 5 times up until now. not sure what the deal is.. usually this kind of thing should be almost done by now. I was feeling pretty good up until now! (well I felt nauseated throughout the day and tired, but that's it) I HATE throwing up!

 I think part of the reason is that I have been sick lately and I'm still getting over a cold I think. Any time I cough, it makes me gag. it's hard to brush my teeth. I think the thick mucous build up in my throat is causing most of the problem. if I go too long without eating.. that also triggers it (can't go more than a couple hours) this pregnancy is backwards. with Tati, I threw up 4 times and I think 2 of those times were food poisoning. We ate at Bobs burgers in Brasil and I got sick.. I knew the burger was bad and didn't even finish it! with Hailey.. I was sick for 4 months..throwing up 5-7 times a day. Levi was a breeze! didn't even throw up once.. dry heaved once is all; although being almost 30 at the time put a toll on my body being pregnant; I felt more strain on my body and tired. I feel that same lack of energy now as well. I had a lot more energy with Tati and Hailey.. eventhough I was super sick with Hailey, I was still able to get around and do things! Now I feel useless and the house is dirty and I try to get at least 1 or 2 things done a day. well, that's life and pregnancy for ya..all worth it in the end :)
