On Sunday I got struck with the stomach flu. I was feeling kinda sick on Saturday while we were in the OC, but Sunday during church I really felt it. I went home and with in an hour threw up 2 times. And then progressed to 4 or 5 more times on Sunday. It must have been pretty violent hacking for me to tear my right abdominal muscle. Which has caused me to have a super difficult time standing up, breathing, getting up etc. It is the worse, especially when I get muscle spasms that just won't quit. I am hoping it heals quickly because big Mama needs to get back to work at the gym and at home. Kyle has been amazing taking care of everything while I groan and complain. Heres to a speedy recovery.

OC Saturday

Thanks to my SIL Brooke for always taking pictures when we get together so there is proof of our fun time together. :) Kyle had an interview with OC Fire on Saturday, which went really well, we are anxiously waiting for the results! So we all drove up together and after the interview grubbed at Pick Up Stix and then headed to Sean and Brooke's in HB. We went down to the beach and played, while Kyle took Gavin and Parker into the waves and Gavin caught his first bodysurf wave all alone. This kid is becoming quite the fish. And Parker also enjoyed swimming under the waves with Dad. Then we went out to dinner to a yummy mexican restaurant. It was fun to catch up and the boys always love their cousin time with Finn.

My little men. They are getting so big.

4th of July

We had such a fun 4th. It started in Hunington Beach with Kyle's brother Sean, his wife Brooke and their son Finn. We saw their annual parade, which was amazing, and then explored the cute downtown and had lunch. It was fun to catch up and the boys loved their cousin time.

The patriotic boys.

Tall brothers, Sean and Kyle.

Baby #3

20 weeks pregnant. This thing is growing!

Here HE is! Our third boy. :) It was not much of a surprise...I knew we were going to have another boy, but the excitement of seeing your baby for the first "real" time was amazing. Even though this is not my first rodeo, I was more emotional and excited then I was with the Gavin and Parker. I love my boys and can't wait to add another to the gang.

His legs, all stretched out.

All curled up, knee bent and arm over head.

Sweet profile.

2 feet together. (kinda hard to see)

It's a boy!

The boys are so excited about Mommy having another baby, and it is becoming more real as my belly continues to grow; however, they really wanted a sister. Gavin cried, really cried, when he found out he was having another brother, and Parker keeps calling the baby a she. But, I know they will love this baby and accept him into their elite clan.

I love my boys so much! It is true... sometimes they drive me crazy, and I want to pull my hair out and scream, but right now as they are resting in their beds and the house is quiet, I miss them. I know, weird! I always knew having kids would be fun and amazing. I remember when we first got married I would long for the day when my car would be filled with car seats and rowdy kids. I remember watching a mother with her kids at the grocery store loosing her cool and thinking that would never be me. Hahaha! Motherhood is everything I longed for and more. When I watch my kids play I sometimes can not believe they are mine. How was I blessed with such amazing little people? What did I do to earn such a blessing? I know I take them for granted and all too often I lose my temper and do things I wish I wouldn't. I know motherhood is the toughest job in the world with too little appreciation. I know one day I will miss these moments where they are carefree, without any scars from the world. I want to be better. I want to have no regrets, and so I promise I will do all I can to love them and care for them as I would want to be cared for. I promise to cherish the moments as if they are my last, and I promise to stop what I want to do for my selfish self and think of them. I love being a mom and hope to be all I should be for them.
