Sorry no pictures yet. I have to use the laptop and Jared has been taking it to work with him. But I thought I would share a story.
I was sitting in the living room trying to get Claira's PJs on when I felt something on my head. It was really no big deal almost like hair shifting or something like that but it was enough to make me brush off my head. So I did and then I screamed like a terrified little girl, for there on my lap had plopped a large spider I'm not talking daddy long leg here. I mean it was a gross thick dark spider. I'm not normally so, well, girly when it comes to spiders, I mean I don't play with them or anything but I will go get a tissue and "clean them up" I guess. In this case there was no tissue I smacked Charlotte so hard she crumpled up into a little ball right there on my lap. Bethany came running from behind the couch Mommy Mommy are you OK. Of course, I told her everything was fine Mommy was just very "surprised" by the friendly, not so little spider. Ewwww though, I mean seriously gross. The spider must have fallen from the ceiling or something. Not a pleasant thought. For the last couple of days now I have been constantly running my hands through my hair. Yuck

My new baby Girl

I got my ultrasound yesterday and it looks like another baby girl for me. Its what we predicted and we are totally excited. To be honest, I was hoping for a boy. Only because I DO want a boy eventually and the chances keep getting slimmer. But don't get me wrong, I LOVE my girls and I am really excited that the three of them will be close.

Now, I need help. I want input. This precious child must have a name. The Plan:Every year of our marriage corresponds to a letter in respect to what we will name our children so 2006:A 2007:B 2008:C 2009:D 2010:E. Bethany was born in 2007 and Claira in 2008 hence the B and C names. This year is the letter E.

We have a list of favorites and I want you (yes you whoever you are reading this)to tell me your favorites from the list or tell me what your absolute favorite "E" girl name is. (please no Elizabeths. The name has been crossed out because Jared's sister Audra is about to have her very own Elizabeth)

ONE condition, NO negative comments, just which ones you LIKE and why or come up with your own.

I hope lots of people will participate. I am looking forward to your comments

In no specific order:
Elise (Elly)
Eloise (Elly)
Emelia (Emmy)
Emmaline (Emma)
Elianna (Elly)

Bethany's Birthday

Bethany is 3 years old!!! Wow, it is unbelievable to me. We had a good trip to CO where Bethany enjoyed her birthday party at Chuck E Cheese. I forgot my camera in NM, so I have to rely on my Mom to email me pictures. Pictures to be posted soon I hope. Bethany(and Claira) had a blast at the party. We are so grateful for all the presents she got. Though, I have to say, I wish her My little pony had NOT come with a DVD. She LOVES it, but it is a series of 7, 5 minute clips. There is NO "play all" option. We have not "found" it since coming home from Colorado:)Anyway, Bethany loved playing with her cousins and everyone had a great time. I am so glad we went up to visit.

Monday was Bethany's actual birthday. I mentioned in my previous post that she was getting a rocking horse. She enjoys it immensely. It seems like she is on it all day. "bye Mom, I'm going to the store" she calls out as she rides away on the horse and "You stay in the barn now Cliff, I'll be back" when she leaves the horse for a while. Yes, the horse's name is Cliff. I have no idea where she got it from but a friend asked her what her horse's name was and that's what she said. Please do not be confused, Cliff is most definitely a girl as Bethany will vehemently tell you.

I feel so blessed to have my Bethany. She is an incredibly bright, capable, delightful young girl and I am so proud to be her Mommy. I am looking forward to many more exciting years with her, her sister Claira, and her sister on the way(more on that in the next post)
