Sick........

and pregnant! Finally after six months of trying I am pregnant. The sickness started slowly Sunday night July 20th, then Monday and Tuesday I was totally sick and just wanted to stay in bed. I was pretty sure why I was sick, and after a home pregnancy test came out positive I called my doctor to make an appointment. Lucky for me I got a perscription for phenagren so I'm not sick all day long. The trade-off is that the pills make me tired and I have horrible dry mouth, so anything I eat tastes like cardboard- yum! We are so excited and I can't wait to start shopping and getting everything ready for our new arrival.

Wizard of Oz

Brandon and I went to see the Wizard of Oz on Saturday and it was amazing! Ben is one of the witches guards and the gatekeeper. Sara is a munchkin (of course). I was very surprised at how well Sara did. For any of you that know her she can be very shy, but she just went for it and was acting, dancing and singing.
This is Ben with Margaret Pellegrini; one of the Munchkins from the original movie filmed in 1938-39. There are only eight original munchkins still alive and only six of them can travel. She is 86 years old!

Sara the munchkin had to get her picture taken with Margaret the munchkin.


This lady is so funny and cute! I loved hearing some of her memories from filming the movie and working with Judy Garland. She only got paid $50 a week, but now makes her living traveling all over and signing autographs.



4th of July cakes

We had a lot of fun on the 4th of July and these are the cakes I made for the different parties we went to. Any day is a good day for cake in my opinion!

Not much

I have not forgotten all you dedicated people who check my blog multiple times a day to see what's happening in my life. Just so you know, there is nothing happening. With Ben and Sara practicing every night for the play Brandon and I just hang out. I am busy taking care of the yard, cleaning the house and just getting ready for all the people who are going to stay with us in the next few weeks. BORING! I don't have cute babies or messy toddlers that do or say cute things everyday, and my kids pick up after themselves (most of the time with only one warning); so I just clean and read all day long. I am not complaining, because I know babies and toddlers are hard, I'm just saying it's boring. So there- now you know.
