Bird and more update

I have decided that I can't wait to get pictures done before I post otherwise it goes months before I write! I promise to do better. 

The birds: Unfortunately the neighbor cat got to our sweet little eggs. I came home one day and saw cracked egg shell on the ground and on our door. I asked Ryan about it and he had seen the neighbor's cat jumping at the wreath. This caused multiple eggs to fall leaving only 2. I guess the mother bird was frustrated because we never saw her after that and the eggs are still in the wreath.

Our house. We are still wanting to sell our house so if you know anyone who could use a great 2 bedroom town home send them our way. We painted the girls room twice! Ryan spent the last weekend in June doing an amazing job painting one wall chocolate and the other 3 almond. However when we got done at 2 in the morning we discovered the almond wall weren't almond but gray. Ryan pick up more paint on Monday so we could get the correct color and we again spent all of Friday July 3rd painting. It is now done and looks great! So now we have a more neutral room that we hope will encourage buyers. 

The girls: Alina and Emi are doing great. They wake up and ask where we are going today. Maybe I take them too many places. We did buy a zoo membership this year so if anyone wants to go to the zoo let us know! We are also still going swimming at the South Davis Rec Center. This is one of our favorite activities. Hopefully we will get to swim lots in July before the baby comes! Ali has also become quite the chalk artist. On almost any given day you can walk down our sidewalk and see wonderful rainbows and pictures of people and cats that she drew. Emi loves to play with her babies and play dress-up. We seem to always be putting a new dress on her!

Ryan- He has been extremely busy at work! This is great for us and the economy. His coworker is on maternity leave until the end of August which has been good and bad for Ryan. They also just restructured his company a little bit changing the role of his office as well as making him busier. He has said that he would rather be busy then have it be quiet. Outside of this he is staying very busy with church and family life. 

Wendy- Is just starting up an amazing company with Wanda, her sister-in-law. We have one item we need to patent so if any of you know anything about doing this let me know ASAP. We are also searching for a name so if you have any ideas for a name let us know. Also check out our current blog at themomonthego.blogspot.com

I think that is it for now. We all had a great 4th. It started Friday with Ryan being off work! The girls got to spend the night at Grandma and Grandpa Jones' house. They slept in the tent with Grandma and Grandpa, Aunt Nat and cousin Lucy. That is they were in the tent until midnight when it started to rain and the sprinklers came on. They then moved inside where the little girls stayed up until 1 am. They slept until about 9:30am, which wasn't long enough in my opinion. We all had a great breakfast together and then we took the girls home. Later that afternoon we went to Grandma and Grandpa Wachter's where they had a kids pool out, a slip and slide, a flower sprinkler, water balloons and water guns. The kids had a fun time. Roxy, the dog even enjoyed chasing after water balloons. We ate dinner which was great as usual! Then had Barry and Jake set off fireworks for our enjoyment. The spider and teapot were my favorite because every minute they would change. I like change. 

We're having septuplets!

Yep that is right we will soon hatch 7 babies! Baby birds that is. One day Ryan came home and told me that a bird was nesting on our door behind our wreath! I saw the nest and couldn't believe it! We took a picture and found out that there are 7 eggs inside that nest. 

Every time we come home we have to watch out because the brown sparrow takes off at full speed. I now walk in as far to the right as possible and scrunched down to avoid collision with the bird. 

Ryan e-mailed Tracy Aviary to see if they had any recommendations on how we might move the birds. This was there reply: Thanks for your note.  What a nice little surprise, although quite inconvenient when trying to sell a house….  If you can, you should try to leave it alone and alert any possible visitors to use another entrance (maybe through the garage?).  My guess is that the eggs will hatch any day and it is only a few weeks before the little guys will fledge.  After that point, they will be mobile enough to move.

That is only a recommendation, however.

Good luck!

So we are hoping that in a couple of days the birds hatch and we will get to hear the sounds of 7 little birds chirping for food. Now I know that I need to take down our wreath after Valentines day or we might continually find birds at our door!

4-D pictures of our baby boy!

This past Monday we got to go have our "big" ultrasound done to see our baby boy. Ryan and the girls were all there. Ali really enjoyed it. She liked seeing pictures of the baby and hearing the heartbeat. Emi had a hard time wanting to stay focused on the baby but she liked seeing the pictures of him. This is my favorite ultrasound because we get to really see our baby and see what he looks like. We received a  dvd and pictures which are very cool. Outside of that life here is good!

Alina's Birthday

While a lot has happened since our last post one great thing has been Alina turning 4! Instead of a birth day she had a birth month! She had a great party at Grandma and Grandpa Wachter's that she shared with Wanda. Then she had a party at preschool which she shared with her best bud Gabe who shares the exact same birthday! Then she had another party at Grandma and Grandpa Jones' house that she got to share with her daddy! She was really cute to watch open her presents because she just loved everything whether it was clothes or a toy she thought it was the greatest thing ever and would exclaim "Oh my gosh" at just about everything!

Baby Ruby

We are a little late, but we want to welcome Ruby Becky Wachter into the family. She was born on February 12th and weighed in at 9pounds 1 ounce and was 20  inches long! Thank goodness she had to come by c-section, she was breach. She is a very cute girl. Ryan thinks she looks like Brittney, I can never tell. 

Ali and Emi loved holding her and seeing her. Ali I think would have held her all night if we would have let her. Ali kept calling her Rudy but we have worked on it and she is now saying Ruby. 

We are excited to see how this family grows we know Craig and Brittney will be excellent parents! Congratulations to the new mom and dad!

It's a Boy!!! (most likely)

We just found out that we are most likely having a baby boy! I am due August 6th 2009. Even before I was pregnant Ali kept asking for a baby brother and telling me that I had a baby brother in my belly. I didn't know I was pregnant until mid december. At our last doctor's appointment the doctor starting looking at the ultrasound and he wanted to say we were having another girl, but because Ali has been so persistent that it is a boy he wiggled the baby around and looked a little closer and we think we saw boy stuff going on. We will for sure find out on March 6th at my next doctors appointment. But we are looking forward to welcoming a baby brother into our family!

The computer Crash

So we have a mac and they are suppose to be invincible! Not so. When we came home after our Christmas parties our mac wouldn't work. We found out our hard drive had fried, no one knows why. So we have now lost our whole last 2 years of photo's and videos. It really stinks but we got us an external hard drive to back everything up to so now it won't happen again!

As for everything else...We did find us a new car. We are now a van family. We bought us a 2004 AWD toyota Sienna. While it isn't my dream car it is the best for young kids, they can get in and out easy and at a push of the button the door opens!

Christmas was great. We had fun at all our family parties. I will load some pictures that I do have with my next post. I just wanted to get something up so people didn't think we had forgotten about our blog!
