dont know if this pic came up. i copied it from another blog super cool yard!!

Hello everyone!! I haven't blogged in along time!! There isn't too much to tell. My belly is getting BIG and so are my nose and lips(i'm sure dad will be posting ugly pictures of me soon so don't worry). It seems like there would be more to tell. CPS is looking into Cassidy's dad but I think everyone knows that. It looks like they aren't going to do anything to him which really sucks. He gets away with everything I sware!! One day all of his crap will catch up to him I'm sure even if it's not like we all think it should karma has a way of coming back to you weather you like it or not. Aaron got a google phone with our upgrade and he loves that thing. I have to admit it is pretty sweet its like a mini laptop with gps and live street views. He is on that thing 24 hrs a day!!! Erin and I had family night with mom and dad yesterday. It was really fun the kids liked it alot and it was great spending time together with them. It's pretty cool having mom and dad so close now. They got to come to Casssidys concert at the aeros game and of course cassidy thought that was great.

Ok everyone I need to make a correction. His name is loukis Jeffrey. We are spelling it differently because aunt alice wanted louis and i like lukas so we put them together. I am feeling much better today Aaron is a great nurse. He took care of me all day yesterday and i got alot of rest. I was really suffering until i called my ob and she told me i can take ANY tylonol product not just the regular kind!!!!! Its amazing what a little cold and flu medicine will do for the spirit. Cassidy has alot of pretty big projects this year right now we are doing a black history month poster. She chose BB King of all people and she really seems to enjoy his music. I like helping her with this stuff. I didn't do many projects in school LOLOLOLOL!!!!!

Sick Kiddos!!

My kids got the crud this week. Well mainly Cassidy, she has been out of school all week long!! I am getting pretty round these days only 3 1/2 more months I can't belive this pregnancy has gone by so fast. Chris really wants Gavin and I think he is going to get his wish. We have pretty much decided on Loucis Jeffery VanDyken. It's as close as we could get to louis and still have dads name in there too I think its a pretty solid name.

Mimi and I have decided to become a team!!! She is going to write childrens books and I am going to illustrate them. I can't believe we never thought of this before!! We've talked about her writting stories and me wanting to illustrate but never together. I am very excited. Aaron is being a good husby these days. He helped me clean up today and he is even grocery shopping. At the funeral he was great taking care of the kids so I could be a part of everything. I will miss alice very much her light was bright and she was always loving and kind(not to mention hilarious!!). Although she wasn't a college grad or anything there was something wise about her like she just knew how life should be and what it was all about. When I was with her on friday she was so sick and I could tell she was going to die. But, despite her cercumstances, the fact that she her self was ready to move on to the next life, and that you could see she was sad she still had a bright spirit and want to know about me and my family. She knew what was important and the rest she didn't bother with. I love her so much and I am so greatfull to have had an upbringing where I know and feel close to my extended family.
