#3...

As you can see # 3 is a Boy! We are all so excited to have another brother running around the house. And as you can also see he has found his winky little bit earlier then Mac! This was actually the only good shot of the baby... it was a really good ultrasound and you could see him really well, but for some reason our ultrasound tech took really bad pictures! Oh well. All that matters is that he's healthy, and he is. Here's to a little more craziness in the Wischmeier home!

Man-Beast Mac

Man-Beast is what I like to call Mac, and it's quite fitting. Let me just fill you in on some of the Man-Beast qualities this little boy possesses.

--This afternoon while we were hanging out in the front yard, I was reading the newspaper... only to look down and find McConnell playing with and tearing apart dog poop!! And he was enjoying it!!

-- The boy climbs, climbs, and climbs.

--He also throws throws and throws anything. ( I am honestly starting to worry about this next little baby being hit over and over again with random Mac objects)

--Look out or he'll whack you... he whacks/hits everything within a three foot radius.

-- He eats pine cones, chalk, and dirt and drinks his bath water.

--He uses anything as a weapon, like a tennis racket or sock!

--He loves his new found toy... the Winky.. he can't get enough! (Should I be worried about this?)

Really the list could go on. I am always finding myself saying.."Really? Are all little boys this monsterous?" or "Should he really already be doing that?" His Man-Beast abilities never cease to amaze me. But the kid also has a soft side...

--He worships his Lovey. ( I'm jealous of the tight bond these two have)

--He LOVES anything soft, and even if it is soft and fluffy.. then he'll throw his body on it and give it a good lovin.

--He has recently learned how to hug, and he's totally into it.

--He dances like a fool.. the boy has got some sweet moves.

All and all he's a really sweet and totally monstrous kid! I couldn't imagine life without him and I never ever have a dull moment in this house with him and Abby. Actually just tonight while giving him a bath he surprised me with another Man-Beast quality.. he deposited a turd in the bathtub!! (This is me... "Umm Ben you gotta come in here... I am not sure this really just happened!!!") Nothing like ending your night, scooping up a Man-Beast turd!! I love you my Man-Beast Mac.

T-Ball

Three Words...

That's my Girl!!!Words can't describe the overwhelming feeling of joy I experience when I see Abby up at bat. Softball was always such a big part of my life, so it's really fun to watch her experience it for the first time. And yes it totally helps that she ROCKS!!!

Galveston Texas

Wanna go in Daddy?
I LOVE water!!!
How can it possibly be 70 degrees in November??

These are old pictures from when we went to Galveston during Thanksgiving time. It is so beautiful, and nice to know that we live so close. There is nothing quite like ocean air!

San Fran Fun

Wow. San Fran is quite the pretty place. A little too over populated for me.. I have never seen so many homes pushed together in such a small space.. I got a little claustrophobic!!
Anyhoo.. we were able to go off and venture to some cool places, like Fisherman's Wharf, Coit Tower, and lots of beautiful parks. These parks are the best I have ever seen!!
Enjoy the pictures.

Long time no post..

Man... our stinkin camera won't upload photos right now, so I have been putting posting off for awhile... but our camera still isn't working. I guess you'll just have to imagine my kids being adorable! Not too hard to do..right?

For thanksgiving Ben's parents came into town, and we had so much fun. We started their trip off with a trip down to Galveston, which is still pretty much destroyed from the hurricane. But it is right on the coast, boasting a wonderful beach. Don't think white sand beach, think rocky awesome beach covered and I mean covered with glorious shells. We have never seen anything like it! Bonnie and Bob were amazed with it.. and we all couldn't stop collecting awesome shells. After that we spent some time at the Houston Space Center.. which was very cool, but not so fun with kids. We spent the rest of the week just hanging out. Bob and Ben got their man duty on and fixed a whole bunch of stuff, including rebuilding our backyard fence. It's beautiful. They also reorganized our garage, which doesn't look like the hurricane that anymore. Nice work Men! It was so incredible to have family stay in our first home.. it helps make it feel more like home when you are with family.

We planned on surprising Bonnie and Bob with the pregnancy news, but me barfing on the way home in some random neighbors yard.. kind of made it seem like something was up. I usually try not to barf at all normally..but from some reason pregnancy does that to me! So while they were eating yummy chick-fil-a, Ben gave Bonnie the picture of our little nugget and told them that's why I am not partaking of the yummy food. They were both very happy and still somewhat surprised!

For Christmas we made last minute plans to go to San Fransisco, where my sister lives. My Mom and Dad will be there too... Ben and I can't hardly wait to get out and maybe have a date or two! Nothing like instant babysitters!! My sister lives a few blocks from the beach, so that's where we'll be for the Christmas week! Not too bad.

My pregnancy is going really well. I mostly get sick at night, so I really can't complain.My due date is June 29th! For the most part the nausea is going away, and I am feeling pretty good. (knock on wood)

We really wanted to get out Christmas cards, but yeah right...

We are all wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!
(This is where a cute family photo will hopefully go sometime soon)

Party Of Five

Yep... We've got another one of these cookin'!!

I am 9 weeks along and I have my good days and bad with preggo sickness.

We are all so excited... Abby thinks she pregnant with five babies, so she totally gets it!
