Ethan had another play at school this past week and he did an amazing job!! I only had enough room to record his parts....but really does the rest matter???? He was so nervous and worried that he would forget or embarrass the class. He originally only had one part, the second part was one he filled in for a student that couldn't make the night time play. TOO STINKIN CUTE!!

I LOVE long weekends
It's been such a long time since all three of us have had any amount of time off together that this weekend was especially nice. Jared and I had Friday off, I shopped and had lunch with my girlfriend at Famous Daves...YUMM...and Jared had to go to school to work on his project with his partners. Saturday I BBQ'd for everyone (us + Lani & Ian) for his late birthday gift and some family time. Everything turned out perfect. I made Jared's Black and White cookie/cake, and it was delish, not to cookie hard and not to cakey soft; and the icing / fudge frosting came out just like they do in the stores.
The rest of the weekend was for lounging around and playing Rock Band. We are a part of the in crowd now baby!!!
And the best part is I get another 3 day weekend this next week. This 3 day week of work better fly by cause I can't wait for next weekend :)

JUMBLE vi
*Jared and I got a sneak peak ultrasound last week. It was so tiny and squirmy. You could make out the feet, hands and face. With Ethan we didn't have an ultrasound this late so it was really cool. I go for a real one on Wednesday and I can't wait to see our tiny baby then.
*Jared starts his job today. It's been a long time since he has worked. We went shopping for some business casual clothes on Saturday. So I hope my idea of business casual is the same as theirs. He had to be there at 7 and it's about an hour drive from our house. My poor baby had to get up at 5 this morning. It's been even longer since he's had to wake up that early.
*Since my company is going out of business and I'm soon to be jobless, our hope is that his job will be full time permanent. I've seriously considered going back to school this next year and trying for my RN license. So keep your fingers crossed for us and maybe with in a few years I'll have a new career and not just some job.
*We finally have our big HD TV fixed, and let me say...it's NICE!! I forgot how much I missed watching it. Jared and I played Tetris all weekend....so much fun!!
*I found plane tickets for my Mom at $250. Round trip...I couldn't believe it. I told her that I would love for her to be here for the first week or so after the baby is born. I'll need help with Ethan out of school too, so it would be perfect. Now I just have to talk her into flying by herself.

My Mothers Day
I told Jared this year that I wanted him to make me dinner for Mothers Day. We spent the day relaxing and lazing around. I don't know what has been getting into me lately but I'm starting to have days where I can't sleep in. Sunday was one of them, I was up at 6:30! The nice part about it was that the dogs and I spent some quiet time in the office while I paid bills and budgeted for the month. Then Ethan woke up and gave me the card he made; he did such a good job, it was beautiful. He made me chocolate milk for breakfast and read while I finished up in the office. A perfect morning. He made coffee while I woke Jared up and watched 90210. After an hour of trying to watch TV loudly to wake him up nicely, I had to break out the big guns and really WAKE him up. I had to do something so I could get my card. I look forward to the holidays with him because he has a way with words. It makes me want to cry every time. But every time I look forward to them. They are always the most heartfelt sweet tidbits. I think one of these days I'm going to have to dig out all of his cards and type them somewhere special.
We went on our first walk that afternoon followed by a quick nap! Our walks are our family time, Ethan rides his scooter and we bring Dina along. When we are all up for it we go exploring in the mountains behind our house. After our nap we all decided that it sounded much better for someone to wait on us for dinner so we went out for Indian food!!
Thank you for a perfect Mothers Day!!!

The best & The worst!
Why is the best news always followed by something bad? Why can't it just be good news and that's the end of it? It's kinda like; do you want the good news first or the bad news? And don't we always go for the bad news first so the good news will cheer us up?
The best: Jared got a job and he will start May 18!!!! It's doing something that he has gone to school for and I know he will love.
The worst: I'm losing my job. My company will close it's doors July 8th. I've been there for 10 years and not that it was a shock, but when it's final and no longer gossip it's always a little harder to take. At least it's not right away so I do have some time to plan what the best move for us will be.
Wish us luck on our new venture :)

JUMble V
*Let me say OFFICIALLY for the record, that the first half of April sucked big time!!! The second half definitely made up for it :) And I'm SO glad May is here!
*First...Jared's Grandma ended up in the hospital with a collapsed lung and a mass in each. She was there a week before she passed away. It was hard for everyone, she was the rock that everyone gravitated towards. We all miss her immensely.
*Second...I took an at home pregnancy test and it came out positive!!!! At my first ultrasound I had what looked to be two blood clots. One intrauterine and the other in the tube, and no heartbeat in either. It was a week of hell thinking that it was ectopic and I had to wait until the 8 week mark to have it removed, and having all of the pregnancy symptoms to go along with the wait. Why eight weeks...there is to much of a risk trying to remove it early and missing it, so 8 weeks was very important. After my doctor went back in my chart from the beginning (over a years worth of info to tripple check everything) he said there may be a slight chance an embryo will show up within the next couple of days. We kept all of my pre-op appointments scheduled just in case and when I went, there in fact was a faint heartbeat!!!! Apparently the tubal blood clot was a cyst caused by hormones and will dissolve on it's own, and the second intrauterine was the embryo. So my dates being all jacked up and the cyst it was very deceiving. But THANK GOODNESS we have a baby :)
*As of today I'm 9 weeks and all of my sickies are pretty much gone. I only feel like crap when I'm hungry or when I eat a full meal. I have headaches like I did with Ethan but they are manageable.
*We had Jared's Grandmas funeral service / reception. Lani and her younger brother planed the entire thing and they both did an amazing job. I had never been to a funeral or reception for before, but it was perfect. Very nice and memorible.
*Amee was able to make it home for a week so she could spend some time w/ her Grandma before she passed. She stayed a few nights with us and a few with Lani. It was a very nice visit. Her and Ethan played video games and on the computer. She is due to come back in August!
