One CRAZY Week!

Wow!! It has been a while since I posted. Life has been really crazy lately. First of all it was my birthday on the 7th and I turned 31. We had to celebrate on the 6th since Richard was out of town from Wednesday until Sunday!!!

Every year on my birthday, Richard gets to go to Half Moon Bay, CA and spend 4 nights at the Ritz Carlton for his annual National Sales Meeting. I get to stay home and take care of both kids all by myself!! And of course this year I got to take care of both kids while I am pregnant--even more fun!!

I threw-up for the first time on Thursday morning (I think that is because I had to get up at 5:30AM to get everyone to school and me to work on time). Thank goodness I only work one day a week!! While daddy was gone, both kids decided it would be a good idea to sleep in mommy's bed--EVERY night!! You would think there would be plenty of room in a king size bed for the three of us, but Emily felt the need to sleep with her legs on top of me all night. Needless to say, this pregnant mommy did not get much sleep while daddy was gone. I tried my best to have an activity everyday to keep us busy. We went to Jump Zone, the park with friends, McDonald's, Chick-fil-A, and one day I did have to have a babysitter so that I could go to a shower that I was hosting. The time went much faster than I thought it would, but I was very ready for Richard to be home. He got home last night around 11:30 and today he took the kids to Meme's house!! I have really enjoyed the peace and quite!!

I do have to brag on Richard a little bit....He won Rep of the Year Award!!! That means that he finished as the #1 sales rep in the company for 2008. This is an honor that any sales rep seeks to earn. We are SO proud of him and his accomplishments!! The best part was, when his boss gave him the award in front of the whole company his boss said some of the nicest things about him. He said that he was so excited to give this award to Richard for his hard work and dedication to his job, but he really wanted Richard to have this award because of the type of person he is. His boss said that Richard made him want to be a better person, a better husband, and a better father just by how Richard lives his life. Isn't that awesome!!! I think all of his kind words meant more to Richard than any award he could have given him.

Hopefully our life is going to get back to normal soon. Right now I have a lot of cleaning to catch-up on and a ton of laundry to do. I made my first appointment with the doctor on February 5th--hopefully they will do an ultrasound that day.

Here are a couple of pictures from my sad little birthday party.




The kids liked getting icing all over their face!
