OOPS!!

So I seriously have the worst case of OCD I swear.... I can not stand to have my house dirty or to have clothes that I know either need to be washed or dried or folded or hung up just sitting in piles. So, dumb ME I think I need to get it ALL done within a day or two instead of spreading out and doing a little bit each day.... which is what I should be doing especially since I am almost 7 months pregnant now... well the week before Skylers birthday I decided to do some MEGA house cleaning and to do about a dozen or more batches of laundry plus plan a birthday party and make sure things were ready for Easter and I landed myself in Labor and Delivery last wednesday becuz I started contracting!!! Luckily, they weren't strong enough to do anything besides take my breath away... I really should be careful since I already kno that I dilate WAY early and I really don't need  to have this baby that early!! So I was very happy that baby was healthy and that I was okay to go home... I was just told to drink LOTS of water and to slow down or I'm going to be in trouble... ha ha I'm trying but like I said thats hard for me... I'm like the energizer bunny I keep going and going and going!! Although I can't help it when I'm chasing like 6 kids and a 4 month old!! Plus my house has a pretty nice set of stairs!!
So other than our lovely trip to the hospital things here at the Joos house are GREAT!! David is still as busy as ever going to school and working full time. Skyler is learning more and more things every day... he is such a smart kid I love that I can carry a conversation with him and understand the whole thing!! We are teaching him his shapes and how to count better... he already knows his colors and he can get himself completely undressed and dressed himself which he is very proud of himself for doing!! His new favorite thing to do is talk to daddy on the phone... i'll let him call David at work once in a while to talk to him. (David enjoys it too) Gaige is getting over his second ear infection in the last month plus he has been getting his molars so he has been kindof a huge grump the last couple weeks... he is growing like a weed too... he is learning new words and loves to get in to trouble!! he seriously thinks he is a monkey he climbs on EVERYTHING!!! He has been super attached to his daddy lately too... he'll walk around the house yelling for him even if he isn't home and he knows he's not home... he's a nut case!! Skyler and Gaige are hooked to eachother!! They love to tease eachother and wrestle with each other, but they also like to sit and play or read books together!! they are going to be best buds for ever I think. Our little gurl is growing and developing great!! She gets the hiccups at least 50 times a day I swear!! She likes to see how far she can push my tummy out in all different directions too. She is VERY active!! Especially at nights when I am laying in bed trying to sleep!! I love being pregnant I love all the fun feelings it comes with!! We can't wait to meet our little princess in 12 weeks or less!!  We did just add a new member to our family this weekend tho... we bought a Malimute/Husky/Border Collie mix 8 week old puppy from a family in Idaho!! He is the cutest puppy ever!! My parents bought his sister and they agreed to pick up our puppy too so they drove to idaho to pick up the pups and brought them home saturday.... We finally decided on a name for him after calling him puppie for the last couple days..... we named him "Moglie" like the little boy off of Jungle Book.... Moglie is such a good little puppie... although saturday night he whined and cried ALL night long!!! Last nite wasn't as bad he didn't do too bad... he's warming up to us and his new life here at our house!! Gaige loves him he likes to let him lick his hands its cute... Skyler isn't too sure about him just yet but he's alwayz been my more nerves one.... he loves to talk to him and give him treats. I think he'll warm up here soon tho. David and Moglie are already becoming great buddies... david is attached to that puppie and the puppie follows him every where.... ha ha I am such a lucky woman!! I am headed to bed now tho... i'm exhausted and 5 am comes really fast!! I'll post pix very soon!!

Skyler turns 3

On Saturday April 3rd Skyler turned 3 years old!! I can't believe he is already three it makes me sad that my little boy is getting so stinking big!!  We took him to treehouse for the morning of his birthday, he loves that place. Skyler got mega mega spoiled for his birthday too... he loves Toy Story so for his birthday David and I bought him a BIG Buzz and Woody and then a littler Buzz, Woody, Jessie and Zurg. He got lots of Toy Story toys and books and coloring books too, plus he got lots of other stuff too... David had stayed up all night the night before blowing and hanging up balloons (yes i was exhausted and fell asleep with the boys while he decorated... oops!!) he put them all over the walls in our basement and then saturday morning went and bought him some floating ones!! It was so cute while David was gone getting the other balloons the boys woke up and saw all the balloons and Skyler kept saying "NO WAY DADDY GOOD JOB!!" ha ha he did do a good job!! That is Skylers new saying every time he'd open a present he'd say "No Way" it was funny!! We had a great turn out!! The food was yummy and the kids had a blast!! especially in our blow up boxing ring that we had blown up out in our back yard!! We also did a pinata and played pin the tail on the donkey!! All in all I think he had a great birthday!! I'll have to post pictures of his cake and the treehouse!!

Holy how time flies!!

Geez.... where to begin.... hmm... we'll just start with the beginning of the year... so far 2010 has been a really great year... we'll begin with January.... I decided since Skyler was getting super close to turning 3 that it was time to start the POTTY TRAINING fun so on January 4th I began the adventure and he did REALLY well the first day he had 4 accidents and then the next 3 or 4 days he was making it thru the day with only one, and by Sunday he was completely potty trained!! He was so beyond ready to be potty trained I think he needed that little push. Gaige even thought he needed to be potty trained too. Ha ha he was only 14 months tho so I was not ready for him to be that big yet. We also got to see my older brother Cody for a couple days while he was home for R&R. We alwayz have such a blast with him and his little family!!
February... was a great month too David and I celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary. (I can't believe its already been 4 years) For our anniversary we had my parents watch the boys and we went to dinner and then went and played at Boondocks. That place is SO addicting!! Anywayz.... we were suppose to find out the sex of baby number three in February but my wonderful doctor decided for some strange reason she needed to take a vacation... ha ha just kidding I have the greatest doctor ever!! She really is the BEST!! February wasn't too eventful...
Now on to March.... On march 3rd we found out that baby number 3 is a GURL!!! We are so stoked!!! I've alwayz known it was a gurl the second the test said "pregnant" I knew it was a gurl. Especially after we told Skyler that mommie had a baby in her tummy he started talking about his baby sister... its amazing how much kids know... they are still so close to the veil. Skyler loves to go to the doctor "to see" his baby sister. He alwayz talks to her and kisses my belly, and since big brother does it Gaige has to do it too!! I LOVE IT!!! The boys are so excited to meet their baby sister!! David was worried that it would be another boy and that I would hate him or something. He makes me laugh!! I kept telling him that all I wanted was a happy healthy baby and that the gender was the least of my worries... ha ha but he still wasn't convinced!! He is SO excited to meet his little gurl!! Although he is worried he is not going to know what to do with a little gurl. I'm pretty sure it won't take him long at all to figure it out tho!! She is going to have her daddy wrapped around her little finger!! I think that just about catches us up!!
