I know that I keep saying this, but I have never felt that I have missed most of my pregnancy like this. It's going by so fast! Maybe it's because I've already done this twice before or b/c my life is so busy.
Little Dax is really really kicking along lately. Just this morning while I was watching the news before I woke the other kids, I could actually feel toes or fingers....not sure. I didn't get to examine because he moved again quickly. He's an active little booger!
Last night I took Kyleigh shopping with me and we had an awesome Mother-Daughter time. We went to Old Navy, TJ Maxx and Target. We even ate dinner together at Target. So much fun. The girl is a shop-a-holic. She loves clothes and SHOES! She did NOT like it when I had to find some stuff for the boys. She didn't mind looking at baby stuff for Dax but was repeadtedly drawn to "pink" stuff.
Brayson is doing pretty well in school so far. He is trying to get A's on everything so they will think he's super smart and let him skip 2nd grade. His whole reason for wanting to skip 2nd grade: To play tackle football sooner. Yep, hidden agenda.
Trevor is having a rough go of 5th grade. He says it's not what he expected it to be and it is much harder than 4th. No matter how much you warn somebody about something, they never understand until the event happens. I had a meeting with all of his 5th grade teachers, counselor and resource lab teacher. We went over his IEP and revised it to suit his needs this year. Overall, it went wonderfully! I got a good vibe from all the teachers and believe they are all looking out for his best interest. My worst fear about this year was him falling behind and no one noticing. I hear that happens in 6th grade b/c the environment is not as controlled. However, we will be able to keep him on an IEP as long as he qualifies so we will have a leg to stand on if he starts getting behind. We'll worry about that next year though. Right now, let's get this kid caught up! He's super smart but tries to pull the wool over the teachers eyes by acting like he can't read on a 5th grade level or say he can't do other things. The child reads encyclopedias at home! He's making 100's on all of his test but not turning in his classwork so he's getting zeros. We know that he's extremely intellegent. We've just got to keep him interested so he can graduate high school and move on to a trade school where he can pursue a career in the arts like he wants to. He doesn't understand why he can't work "now". :)
Jason is doing pretty well. He is getting used to being back on route finally. I sure like this Jason better than Manager Jason. He's not as irritable from being bothered by everyones problems at work. He just has to worry about him!
Next weekend, I will be attending my 10yr HS reunion! I'm really excited about it. Since I was the class president, I had the joy of putting it together and getting a hold of everyone. It wasn't too complicated due to the fact that I graduated with a whopping 19 classmates! Yes, 19! We'll have a great time. I'm bummed that I won't be able to have a margarita or two with my girls but having a baby is much more rewarding :)
Until next time.....

Week 22
22 weeks already! I can't believe how fast this is going by. It almost makes me sad and a little anxious. I'm not ready for him to be here...not even close! We still have building on our house to do to make room for our new little one and millions of other things.
We have decided on a name! It took us a lot longer for this little guy. Here it is....Daxton Wayne Green....we'll call him Dax. Wayne is a family name in Jason's family and in mine. I think we've covered 4 people with "Wayne" :)
All of the kids (as far as I can tell) are really receptive of the idea of having another little sibling. Of course Brayson was really excited about Kyleigh until she actually arrived!
There is a new little dance place called Tippie Toes Dance Studio coming to Owasso. I'm thinking about enrolling Kyleigh in the 18 mo to 3 yr class. The only thing is that her class is at 10:30 in the morning when I happen to be at work. I'm sure I can work something out. I really want to get her into something and get a little more interactive. She's such a little mover & shaker.
Baseball starts once again at the beginning of Sept! It seems like it just ended. It will run into Mid Oct. Brayson is really upset that he can't play tackle football until after 2nd grade. He swears he's tough enough and I'm quite sure he is!
Trevor I think is getting more excited about being in the 5th grade. It's the top of the school ya know! They start next Wed and will be riding the bus. I hope they don't get kicked off for being rowdy!
Jason and I celebrated our 7yr anniversary last week. I can't believe it's been that long! We kept it local and stayed in Owasso. We ate at Logans Roadhouse and then went to see Inception and it was PHENOMENAL! Such a good flick! I did not get up to go to the potty one time, although I had to go for over an hour...yikes!
Well, that's about all I can think of for now. Tata

AND........
It's a boy!!!! We couldn't be happier! We thought we wanted another girl but since finding out we are going to have another boy, we are happy to only have one princess in our house! She's wonderful, beautiful and graceful....but we only need one!
We have decided on a name but not quite ready to share with the world. We've always been quick on name picking and glad we did the same with #4.
Everything is going great! Trevor turns 12, yes 12, next month. On the day school starts, of course. He's not too thrilled about that but will be when they make a big deal about it at his new school :)
Brayson is staying with his Mimi in Amarillo until Friday, which will make two weeks. We've started to miss our little night owl and want him back but I can wait until Friday.
Kyleigh is growing more everyday. She's exercising her words more frequently and letting us know just when we do something not to her liking! She's a doll and a joy to have!
We went to McLean, TX (my home town) the weekend before last and had a great time visiting with my family and friends for a day. Jason drove back with Trevor and Kyleigh and I drove back alone the next day. We are buying my Grandma's Denali from her. She had knee replacement surgery and had to get a minivan to accommodate getting in and out easier. She hated the switch but I think she's liking the gas mileage a little better :) We also were in desperate need of a vehicle to support our ever-expanding family :) My Durango that we just bought last year seated only 5. That certainly wasn't going to fly! Now, I'm driving what feels like a bus but I love it!
Next week is our 7th Anniversary! We are celebrating this weekend by going to eat Japanese or Cajun then going to see Inception in 3D. I love my Jason and so glad we met!!!!!

In with the new but not out with the old
That would mean that we are having another baby! I'm about 13 wks along and due December 14th. I can't believe we will have 4 children running around our house....or should I say running our house?? We are hoping for a girl but, of course, will be happy with a boy too. Does it really matter when you hit the 4 mark? lol.
I'm sure a LOT has happened since the last time I posted, which was several months ago. We are currently into baseball season with Brayson and their stellar team. Today he started a hitting camp at the Owasso HS. He's having so much fun. That kid is going to be an all star.
Kyleigh is 19 mo. now and is such a sweet little lady! She is finally starting to say more than 5 words. We thought that kid would never talk. Maybe she just didn't have anything to say until now. She says: mom, dad, up, down, off, there she is (for peek-a-boo), papa, a version of grandma, mimi, a version of Brayson & Trevor, dog, cat, moo, quack, duck, cluck cluck, stop, ruff ruff, ball and diaper. I'm sure I left a few out....She loves going to Brayson's baseball games and swimming in the lake (yuck). Mommy is not a fan of swimming in the lake. Laying on a float on the lake, yes, but no swimming.
Trevor is currently in Amarillo until July. He left 3 days after school let out and will be gone for over a month. He's having a really good time and I'm glad.
This past weekend was really fun. My mom came into town with her friend and my sister on Thursday. We went to see the Driller's play and watched Brayson's team run out on the field with the big players. They thought that was so cool. Fri my mom took the kids to the zoo and then took Brayson to see Shrek Forever After. Fri night we went to a cookout at our friends house and watched the kids swim. Later we adults got in and had some fun. I think we got home around 12:30. Wowza that was a long night. Sat we went to the casino where my mom was staying where I proceeded to lose $20 (all I will ever gamble with). I was up $147 and lost it all....dang it! Sunday we just lounged around and kinda cleaned house here and there. My mom came by to say goodbye to us and the kids. We were sad to see her go.
Jason and I are doing pretty well. We are building a room in the garage for one or two of the kiddos to stay. If it's a girl, then the girls will stay out there. If it's a boy, Brayson and he will stay out there. We haven't started yet but will before the summer is over. It's going to be a long project. I would love to just sell it and move into a 4 bedroom....ha, I'll just keep dreaming.
Next Wed, Connie, me, my sis-in-laws and three of my oldest nieces are going to NYC. I can't wait! It's going to be so much fun, especially with our crazy crew!

Where is Spring?
I'm pretty tired of all the cold weather by now. I'm sure most everyone is, especially us here in the midwest all the way to the east coast line. I hope we do not get anymore snow but I'm sure we will before March 20th arrives. Of course, we did get snow in April last year so I'm not going to count my chickens until May!
Everyone is doing pretty well at our house. Kyleigh has turned one since my last post and she had a wonderful little party. She's doing pretty well right now. I will say that she is our little drama queen! She says: Mama, daddy, more, I did it, yes, no and her own little words that no one understands. She signs: more, bath and thank you. She listens very well. She will go get most things that I ask her too. I think it makes her feel like a big girl when she gets to retrieve things. She loves to throw her diapers away. Don't you dare try to take it to the trash can for her...that results in a "throw herself to the floor, kicking and screaming" fit. She's a doll!
Brayson is a little smart-alec these days, but still a great little boy. He'll be turning 6 in March. That seems to be all we hear about. I've had his present bought since December!!! That's a shocker! Today is his Valentine's Day party at school and he is WAY excited about it. He just loves doing those things at school. I really don't even know what he does or what he eats at school because the little booger won't tell me. Any time I ask him what he did or ate, he responds with "I don't know" or "I can't remember"...ugh! His teacher isn't the friendliest so I don't communicate with her very often. In fact, I try not to. We are just trying to get through kindergarten and get to 1st grade. I've never had a problem with any of the teachers until her. Jason is, again, coaching his baseball team and that starts in mid-March. Of course all Brayson is focused on is playing football next year. Lol. It oughta be a sight with this group of boys. They are so wild!
Trevor is doing pretty well. He is a pre-teen, so we deal with quite a bit of attitude (imagine that) but he has matured quite a bit since the start of the school year. I am really looking forward to the next few years with him. It's exciting to watch your kids grow up and wonder what they will be in their adult lives. He's still a big video gamer and artist. He draws constantly and that reflects in his school work. We are working on separating school work from drawing time. I guess he thinks any time he has a pencil in his hand, it's okay to draw.....I really hope he goes to art school some day. I've already been looking at a school in Savannah, Georgia that I think he would love. I know, I know; he's only 11 but planning ahead is always good right?? Haha.
Jason and I are going to celebrate Valentines Day this Sat. Even though I think V-day is stupid, it's still a good reason for a date with my sweetie! We hope to go see the movie "Valentine's Day", eat a sushi appetizer and then go to the Melting Pot. We have reservations at 9 for TMP. I'm so excited to eat there. We haven't been in 4 years or so.
Well, that's all I have time for now. Hopefully it won't take me almost 6 months to write again :)

I'm Extracurricular-ed out!
I really don't even remember what all has happened in the last month...lol
Since Aug 3rd, we have had 4 football practices a week and for the past two weeks we've thrown in scrimmages on Saturdays....what the heck were we thinking getting involved in football? Trevor has been begging us for the past 3 years to let him play. We haven't, up until now, for two reasons. 1. Total cost (gas, uniforms, entry fee, equipment, blah blah blah) is around $400. 2. He wasn't ready mentally with his condition to play until this year. With costs like that who wants to waste the money?
Since last Tuesday we started coaching Brayson's fall baseball team. YIKES! That means we have him in practices on Thursdays and he has double-header games on Sundays. That makes us living out of our car 6 days a week. Wowza.
I think we're crazy but we are having a good time! Kyleigh is so tired of her carseat...I think I'm going to go ahead and upgrade her to her big-girl carseat so she doesn't have to be smashed into that carrier anymore. She still fits in it length-wise but she's getting a little too chubby for it :)
Kyleigh went to her 9mo. appt just shy of her 10mo. anniv. yesterday :) When she was supposed to go, we were in Chicago and then we had friends from Amarillo the week after that then I lost my mind somewhere and couldn't get her in until then. She weighed in at 20.6 lbs and was 27in long. All in all...she's short and chubby! She's in the 16th percentile for her height and 56 percentile for her weight and I said "so you're telling me she's short and fat?"...haha We went through the repertoire of questions and then the nurse practitioner said "she's perfect"...I agree wholeheartedly with her!
She is crawling like crazy, pulling up and walking along things. She is babbling still and always all smiles! Her favorite foods are eggs, ice cream, baby cookies, any baby food (mostly spaghetti), oatmeal, yogurt, rice....almost anything! She's a very good eater. She will look at the correct parent when I call us out. She most recently started directing "mama" and "dada" at us. I just love that little doll!
Trevor just celebrated his 11th B-day on the 18th! I am now letting him consider himself a "Pre-teen" as much as I hate to see this stage near....only because that means that he is growing up and I'm getting older...haha. He got a Chicago Cubs wallet with money in it and we are taking him and a friend to the drag races as soon as they don't have a night game on a Saturday.
Brayson started Kindergarten this past Wednesday. That boy is TOO big for his britches! He is very defiant right now with Jason and me. Perfectly behaved for almost everyone else besides us. I think he's still in the middle of his middle-child-syndrome. I hear it doesn't subside until around 9.....I don't know if I can battle it that long but I'm going to give it my best shot. Any advice out there is welcomed!
Jason and I also celebrated our 6 yr anniversary on Aug 4th! Our friends Giff and Jeri were in town the weekend before (which was also their anniv.) so we went out and celebrated by going to eat downtown at McNellies and then ended at the Vault in Owasso. Good Times! Wish there were more like that but not with our current schedule!
This next weekend we have Trevor's first football game Sat, Brayson's first coach pitch game Sun, Church and Cale's 1st B-day party Sun. I will be taking Miss Kyleigh to the party while Jason and Trev go to the game. Sad I have to miss Brayson's game but very glad for some family time with my girl!
I almost forgot to mention our Chicago trip! It was fabulous! We stayed in the Gold Coast district, right next to the lake and the Magnificent Mile. It was beautiful! We went to watch our beloved Cubbies play (and they won) and also took in some lovely cuisine. We didn't dare eat at any of the restaurants next to the hotel.....some of the plates were over $150.00. We joked that they would probably charge $25 for a pea or a glass of water with no ice :) We did have our run-ins with quite a few bums but most of them were nice and carried a good conversation. I was only scared once when Jason wanted to walk to McDonalds at 1am to get something to eat about 6 blocks away....that was the scariest trip of my life....well besides the time we had to drive 50mph through a really rough neighborhood in St Louis...
I'm going to upload pics only on my next blog so I don't have to fight with rearranging my blog....

Brayson loving on little sister!
Chewing on everything within reach
Kyleigh has grown OH so much over the past couple of months. So far she says: Mama, Dada, bubba and oodles of other baby sounds. She now dances to music ALL the time! She is full of smiles even when she doesn't feel very well. She is sitting up, rocking on all fours, scooting backwards, rolling around the living room, sleeping in her "own" room! and has quite the personality! She also has her two bottom teeth. We love and adore her SO SO much!
Trevor has been gone for about a month to visit his mom and my family in Amarillo and returns today with my sister, Bailey, in tow. She is coming to stay with us for 3 wks until we go to Chicago at the end of the month. At which point, my mom is taking Brayson and Kyleigh with her while Trev stays with Grandma to attend football camp in the evenings.
Yes, that's right, Jason and I are going on vacation without kids! We are taking our friends Chad and Chasity to The Windy City with us for a fun filled trip to see the one and only Cubbies! On Sunday while the boys are at an all day concert, us girls are going to have a spa and shopping day!! Look out, here we come!
Brayson just got finished with his first crack at t-ball! It was a really fun and challenging season. They loved playing in the dirt and sliding into home more than anything. He doesn't get much of a break as we will be signing him up for fall t-ball soon. We will be busy parents this fall with Trev in football and Bray in t-ball....I don't know what we are trying to do to ourselves???!!!
This past weekend, Jason and his Grandpa Rampey built a much needed porch rail on our house. It looks fantastic! I'm so proud of them! Two wks prior, we repainted the living room and we are no longer lounging in an avacado colored room. Next step, new carpet and eventually stained concrete in our kitchen and dining areas.
For the past couple of months, I have been running around like a chicken with my head cut off, as my grandma used to say :) With t-ball, work, babysitter, trying to grocery shop, cleaning house, doing laundry, working on the house....I have not had time to breathe! Hopefully after our yearly audit at work (next Mon) is over, I will be able to relax a little bit.
Whew, I hope I got everything into this blog that I needed to :) Toodles!
