Adding to the litter

While we were in Nebraska we took home a stray cat!

not just any ol' cat. But a big kitty that my mom found in the camper that the boy scouts park on her land.

he's a big pretty cat!

he tolorated the 4 hour car ride really well, only meowing every once in a while. we had some food that we kept giving him in his cat carrier.
It was quite the scene, us in the jetta, Kev on one side, chasen in the middle and the cat on the other side.

We are not sure of its gender but are calling him Raymond, or big ray for short. or baby ray.
If it turns out to be a girl we will call her barbara.

Here is Ray next to Chong for a size comparison.
The kids seem to be getting along well. All of them, Cheech, Chong, Anaranjado and Ray are on the back porch with a heater and cat door.

We still have 4 mama goats pregnant and are just waiting for more babies!
Hopefully they wait until its warmer because right now its beyond cold here in the frozen Land O' Iowa.

Good Night Chasen

Bed time is getting more and more interesting with this kid.
We send him upstairs at 8pm and let him watch Woody (toy story), Chuggington, Caillou, or Up! and every night when we go to bed around 9:30 or 10:00 he is still awake and ready to go!
It used to be that we would turn on one of our "boring" shows and he would fall asleep. But the past 2 nights he has wanted to sleep with us and by 11 we are both so tired we just let him in bed until he fell asleep (which was pretty quick on the first night)
The first night I rolled over and told him I was going to sleep and he better shut his eyes.
Next thing I know I feel his sticky, clammy little hand around my neck and he kisses my cheek and says "good night mama"
talk about melt your heart! OMG I could just eat him up!
Last night same thing he gets in bed with us except this time he wouldn't stay still.
So I asked him to tell me a bed time story.
He thought for a moment and came up with
"story and the dell a story and the dell hi ho da darrie O da story an the dell"
(to the tune farm and the dell of course)
what a smart clever little dude!
Then he sang me Rudolph and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.
After that I told him I was going to bed and rolled over.
Next thing I know I feel his sticky, clammy little hand around my neck and he kisses my cheek and says "sweet dreams"
Ean and I almost died.
He sure knows how to melt my heart:)
Unfortunately after that he would not lay still and I had to put him in his bed where he cried for a few minutes.
It didn't seem fair after all the sweet pillow talk and serenading!

Ean is going to finish our room this weekend so this will be our last week(i really hope) all in the same room.
Thant just means Chasen will wander into our room in the middle of the night *sigh*
maybe this is why he can't sleep at night! It kinda creeps me out!

Let's Wrestle

They are so cute and look alot alike in this photo
we went home this past weekend and got to watch my brother wrestle!
Chasen loved it he didnt throw a fit once and we were there for about 3 hours
chasen just had fun watching and hanging with uncle jaxie and his friends


Chasen even got to wrestle on the mats at intermission!

after the meet we stayed at my Aunt and sisters house. We (my aunt) cooked an amazing meal and then we played this fun card game where one card says killer and the other cards say victum. You pick a card (no one can see it) and if you are the killer you kill people by winking at them and once you get winked at you have to die in a very loud fashion! That night Chasen stayed up until midnight with us! we didnt bring the crib so he slept on an air matress with aunt Lissy and it seemed to go pretty well.
while we played the "killer game" chasen played the harmonica!
at the very end of the video you can hear someone dying!

The next day we went out for sushi!
and I ate so much I thought I was going to be sick! It was so good and it had been so long since I had had sushi. YUM!
chasen ate some rice and then played with his chop sticks and then put his car in the soy sauce. Good times!

I still dont know if Im pregnant.
I've kinda blah lately because Im trying really hard not to think about it and the what if's and trying to stay on the positive but not too positive.
and I really dont want to talk about it either. Ill let everyone know when I know whats going on!:)
Capiche!!

Lily & Chasen

Over Christmas we went to the nursing home to visit great great grandma and Chasen and Lily sang Rudolph the Red Nose reindeer!


and I go in tomorrow morning for the IUI :)
Surprisingly I don't have any negative thoughts about it, I'm not really anxious about the procedure. Im just anxious for the next few weeks to pass to I can take a PT.
Which it works out perfect that we are going to Nashville the last weekend of Jan. right when I can test so the week leading up to that Ill be pretty busy with cleaning and packing and hopefully wont have time to think about weather Im pregnant or not!
