4/9/2004 WELL ITS GETTING CLOSER TO OUR BIG TRIP AND IM SOOO EXCITED, ALTHOUGH IT IS GOING TO BE HARD I STILL HAVE GOT TO BE STRONG! I HAVE COME TO REALIZE WHEN I AM BORED ITS NOT GONNA BE THAT EASY HOUR AND A HALF TRIP TO SEE MY FAMILY. SURE THEY CAN BE A PAIN IN THE ASS SOMETIMES, BUT I SURE WILL MISS IT!!! :( MAN IS IT GONNA BE COLD THERE TOO!!!
4/7/2004 HELLO ALL ! WE ARE ALL STILL DOING FINE WEDNESDAY RICK AND I TOOK THE KIDS TO CERAMIC PAINTING WE ALL PAINTED OUR OWN CERAMIC FOR LITTLE ARLEE IT WAS A GREAT TIME, WE GET THEM BACK MONDAY. THE KIDS WANTED TO BRING THEM HOME RIGHT AWY BUT THEY NEEDED TO BE FIRED. I WILL POST OUR PICS OF THE FINISHED PRODUCTS! STILL IN SHOCK ITS A GIRL!!!! CANT WAIT FOR HER TO GET HERE
04/03/2004 WELL ITS OFFICIAL HER NAME IS ARLEE JORDYN AFTER ALL:) YEA MY DAUGHTER HAS A NAME! ALEXIS AT FIRST WAS A BIT UPSET ABOUT SHARING HER DADS SPECIAL TATTOO OF HER INITIALS, BUT SHE HAS CHANGED HER MIND NOW AND WANTS DADDY TO ADD 2 HEARTS TO THE INITIALS FOR BOTH GIRLS ONE ON EITHER SIDE , SHE IS SO FUNNY! I AM GLAD NOW SHE THINKS IT WILL BE SPECIAL TO SHARE WITH HER NEW SISTER. SHE IS EVEN MORE EXCITED THAT SHE GOT TO PICK THE MIDDLE NAME SO ARLEE JORDYN IT IS:)
4/2/2004 - The results are in its a GIRL!!! Holy cow was i shocked i thought for so long i did not have a real gut feeling on the sex but when they said girl i was so shocked i guess at that moment i really thought it was a boy! I teared up i am soooo excited to bring a new daughter into our family. Ricky took it well and its special for him because being the only boy and he will have that great Dad bond with Rick! As for Alexis i think she screamed out and jumped up and down " I TOLD YOU, I TOLD YOU , IT WAS A GIRL" she was so happy. I think it all hit her really fast in the car because she started to cry, Rick has her initias tattoo above his heart and our hopes if it was a girl were to keep the same initials as alexis, which are AJW for our girls. She cried and said she did not want to share it and that it was special to her, so we all agreed on a name change, something different. Back to square one as for now no thoughts of a name but we hope to call her something soon:)
