Formal Introduction

Jake is pleased to present his new siblings...Baby A and Baby B! (click on photo to make it larger!)

Double Trouble

Well my friends and family...I think you've all heard but I will confirm it now!

Jake is going to be a big brother...twice! Yes'sir, we're expecting twins this May. So those of you who loved watching my belly grow last time will have another lovely show! It will be interesting to see how much bigger it gets!

I went for my first appointment on monday and had a little ultrasound. Luckily Greg was not there, 'cause he may have fainted, I almost did. Here is the conversation:

Doc to nurse: Connie can you go around the other side? Nurse Connie moves around, he flips the screen around...
Doc: see here, see it there?
Me: Ummm...ohhh, yeah...awww, you can see everything (arms, legs, head)
Doc: Now see here? as he flips the doo-hickey
Me: Huh...wait, what? Are you shi**ing me?!?!?!?! Oh sorry. as I start crying...
Me some more: oh my god there's two of them? Greg has to get another job. No wonder why I've been so hungry. Call me Angelina Jolie! (to which the nurse replied, oh that twit, she's all stick thin again.)
Then the doc went on to talk about multiples and risks and everyone turns out okay. Also that I'm pretty high risk with multiples (I can't get over the word multiples) and my heart shaped uterus. Plus with my placenta previa last time, who knows with that, it's so random they can't really say if it'll show up again or a percentage of recurrence. So anywho, he said I will be pretty sick of them (good thing I love everyone there! My Doc. My hospital.) and I'll have oodles of ultrasounds and also at 18 weeks he'll send me to Froedert Hospital for a special one (forgot the docs name.) Then went on with the normal do's and don'ts and extras for having multiples. I can keep exercising (teehee!) but if I was going to a gym at 26 weeks he'd tell me to knock it off. Luckily I will not have that problem. I was pretty zoned out during this so I may have glossed over a few things!

So I am officially 10 weeks and 3 days. Both babies measured right on schedule. Due date is May 26th, but due to the repeat c-section it will be scheduled one-week prior...but with multiples, may be earlier than that. We will all just have to wait and see!

I have the ultrasound pics, need to scan it better then the p.o.s. thing we have at work. Boy was I spoiled at Savannah Blue! :)

Punkin' Patch

We went to a better pumpkin farm on sunday. No crazy Apple Holler like last year, that place is too much. This place was pretty busy too, but you could actually move around in an orderly fashion.





And then we got to check out the new Target and Dick's where Jake became an official cheese head! Ya der!

How many times?

Does it take to have your drivers license taken away FOREVER?

Man gets prison for seventh OWI

Jeffrey S. Vujnovich, 53, 233 Cherokee Road No. 8, Beaver Dam, was sentenced to 36 months in prison and 50 months of extended supervision for his seventh conviction of operating while impaired.

Vujnovich's driver's license has been revoked for 36 months, and he must use an ignition interlock for 36 months. He must also undergo an alcohol assessment.

According to reports, he was pulled over on Dodge Drive, at the intersection of North Spring Street, on Aug. 23. Vujnovich registered a .146 percent preliminary blood-alcohol content. He told the officer that he thought the legal limit for Wisconsin drivers was .8 percent, however, the legal limit is .08 percent.


So is his license revoked while he's in prison so when he gets out of prison he can drive again? Same thought on the ignition lock... Apparently jail, license revocation and the alcohol assessment from the 6 prior convictions isn't helping this guy, can we think of something else to do with this idiot before he kills someone? But it's okay, he got the chemistry right to be at .08 so it was legal.


I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank my darling son for this excess of snot. I don't know what I would do without it! Hopefully I can share this bliss with others! You are welcome! :*)

Dirt and Fun

Holy cow, did I actually get a video to post? See bottom.

This one's taken with the phone, but he was so cute!

Labor day or around there, we got this screaming new ride for my birthday! Thanks Tia Julia and everyone else in Cali!

Hawthorn Hallow
I's dirty. Whoohooo!
Daddy put in a new wall all in one day!
The old garbage
Porter is pooped from all his hard work!
More dirt, I need more dirt!!!
The Chopp's came over one day...Tyler and Molly swinging like pros!
I ate dirt...it was great. Now i must mow the lawn!
My other sweet ride, the wagon! Unless that is a neck rest on the back piece, I believe it is supposed to go on the front for the handle bar to rest on or something.
My paw
My snack bar!
At Holy Hill They're doing a little construction.
Me and my cuz Taylor at the stations of the cross.
I'm a good helper. These are all whites, for now!!!
Check out my new sweetest ride! Just kidding.
I couldn't find the horn, so I didn't want it. Hrumph.
And whoola, mama finally cut my bangs. I was sleeping, didn't even know it happened.
And a video! Speed walking and tripping and mom catching me before I got into any land minds, whew!

Nap time

It's nap time here. Hopefully he can stay out for long enough to update the world on our doings!!! No better update than pictures.

Here we see the wild hooligans caught in a rare moment of nap. Ahhh... (8/8/08)

This is more like it (8/9/08)
I see you! (8/9/08)
Yes, yes, hard to believe, but even Twizzlers doesn't make all mouths happy. We were in a delicate time here...I believe this was at the point of one LARGE tooth bump on top. We made it through that and are now fighting 5 teeth (including the aforementioned teaser) coming thru on top. (8/10/08)
But nothing makes me more happy than a fly swatter! Um, I can't find that thing now. (8/10/08)
Here we are at our fabulous birthday weekend/fair weekend. I guess it's true what they say about rabbits! (8/15/08)
Checking out some roosters and chickens. While standing there, the one next door laid an egg! (8/15/08)
My birthday cake! I'm such a pig, but I LOOOVVVVEEE it! (8/16/08)
Grandpa made me this stool. I love it too...but here I am showing you I'm SOOOO big! (8/17/08)

I really don't like eating pieces of things, just gimme the whole chunk! I am one now after all. (8/22/08)

We took a little family trip over to Lake Geneva and saw some turtles! (8/24/08)
Greg found a toy in the coolest toy store.
Jake even has his own store!
And is hard to get candy away from. Hmmm, sounds like someone I know.

Mom and Dad went to Door County over labor day weekend and came home to another present! I tried to help dad, but couldn't get that peddle to work with the seat. (9/1/08)

Tada! I do good work! Thank you Aunt Sara, Uncle Charles and Saul! p.s. I also have a plethora of socks to last me awhile! Thanks Saul!

Mom and I went to Hawthorn Hallow to an art fair and walked around the cool grounds too. (9/6/08)

Oop, back in door county! Here we are up on top of the look out in Peninsula State Park. (8/31/08)
Just a cool sunset. (8/30/08)

That's all I got for now. Greg had a busy weekend replacing the retaining wall by the driveway...I got a few pics, but there in the camera yet. Friend Angie and her midgets are coming over soon, so I better go!

Almost there

We did it, we're almost to one whole year! This weekend marks the one year anniversary of the crazy events that unfolded that amounted to Jake's birth. It's the Dodge County Fair! I can't wait! And now, Jake gets to meet the cows himself! Yay! Is he too little for a pony ride? Saul was on a pony ride pretty early. I think a pony ride is in store too! Hopefully he doesn't beat the pony. He thinks he's patting Porter, but it turns into a beat down. Well, Porter runs away tho, so it's about two baby taps. Don't worry, we're not abusing our dog!

So here's a photo to keep you sedated until the birthday and fair pics come about!

Apparently I squench my nose like mom!

So happy fair weekend ya'll!

Front of House

It's been a transition of epic proportions! If you've been here before, you just may not recognize it.




Would you like a list?

• Trees, gone
• blue shutters, gone
• brass rusty nasty ugly front lights, gone
• brass rusty nasty ugly mailbox, gone (in it's place a black one, it was taken down for some siding fix ups which brings me too...)
• nasty brown spot around mailbox, gone
• weird cursive house number above the door, gone (we left the plaque type one up by the mailbox, but was down for the fixing up)
• wasn't done at the time, but lame blue diamond on window box is now painted.
• nasty blue door, gone! it has been repainted, not back up yet

Now, I need to put new flowers in my flower box up front. Any fall type hot weather suggestions? Maybe I should wait until the mums come out in the fall more.

And the other survey...what do you think about the one window with no shutters? It was naked before, so we left it naked. (That window is one of Jake's...speaking of, he's been taking a looooooonnnnnnnnngggggggggggg nap! Must've been the swimming.) So here is a rough idea of all the windows with shutters. Thank you magical computer. Please apply 5 cent here_____.


Here's a couple pics of the kiddo!

I went on a pool hunt and K-mart, the land of the einsteins, had one. This was last night when the sun was on the other side of the house. He got a little cold. We went again today with the sunshine and played and played! And yes, he's wearing lil' swimmers! His cheese belly's in the way!

Afterwards in my froggy towel...ribbit!
Saturday's lunch, grilled cheese and carrots. Yummmmy! I cleared about half my plate. I love cheese!!! Thank goodness I live in Wisconsin!
Do it like this...giggle and laugh and stuff your face silly!

Hmm, looks like it might maybe think about raining finally...it's cloudy for once this week...please rain!!!

Toodle-loo!
