Not much to report

I wanted to post some pictures of the boys new past-time, home run derby. They have been trying to hit the ball into the neighbor's backyard. Ty usually wins but Coop is catching up. Anyway, I went to get the camera but there was no card in it. I could not find it for the life of me. The next day, learning from the previous camera incident, we asked the boys who took it. No one knew anything. I thought it was Coop for some reason so I focused on hi. Finally when I told a 3 year old "If you tell me you won't be in trouble" he led me to his room and we found it in his hamper. These kids have sticky fingers.

I am sure we will have the derby this weekend and we will post the pictures. Sorry to the people back home, hear that you got snow again. It has been 85 and sunny. But it is kinda windy so you can't open the moon roof, that really stinks. If you don't like my news come visit.

Happy Easter

We had a good easter at the Pedee compound. Andie's parents came down from Dallas. On Saturday morning Andie had a soccer game so I was on boy duty. I was doing a good job until Ty fell in the creek trying to catch crayfish. He caught one but I think he did it by sitting on it. Needless to say, after 20 minutes one kid was wet and smelled like a swamp. It was a good lesson that what you want comes at a price, and sometimes leaves you with damp underwear. Andie's girls won their first game so that was good.

Coop and I got our hair cut at a barber shop that opened near by. Coop is very serious when someone has to touch him but it helped that a pretty girl was doing it. Even at a young age they instinctively know even if you are scared never let girls know. Good rules to live by. Ty couldn't be left out so he got his hair trimmed. We also got to see Duke lose, so all in all a good afternoon.

Saturday night we ate with the grandparents and watched basketball.


Easter Morning the boys somehow ended up in the bed smacking me in the head at about 7am saying "Come on Dad let's go." They got some good stuff as seen above. Even Fetus Pedee got a good haul. Dad got leftovers that will hinder his quest for Brad Pitt-like fitness. We went to church and I acted as I usually do, as a combination goalie jungle gym. When they are not crawling on me or laying on me I am pushing them back into play. I had to answer some earth shattering questions like "why does jesus have a beard" and "are you bigger than jesus" and "did jesus have a basketball" ty is a little obsessed with basketball right now.

We came home had hamburgers and hot dogs, I offended my mother-in-law with my witty charm, had an easter egg hunt and we beat the crap out of each other with confetti eggs.






Then we saw off the grandparents and Ty and I saved the world a few times on the Wii while Mom passed out on the couch and Coop watched Polar Express for the 100th time. All in all a great weekend. Don't you agree.

Yes, they are listening....

When you see this manly blue, that means a man is talking, so you should be listening.... unless a woman is saying something then i will wait patiently until my turn. anyways, man speaking...

I read Michelle's blog awhile ago about how they are always listening and I have my first in what I am sure is a ongoing series.

i was leaving for work the other day and said my normal 500 goodbye's to Coop. Now when he goes to school we go through the list:

- Don't hit
- Don't bite
- Get stickers/stamps (meaning he was good)
- Help out your teacher

So as I leave for work it went something like this

GDE* : Later buddy
Coop: Bye Dad, Don't hit your friends

They are always listening...

* = Greatest Dad Ever

Well it was just another day at the Pedee house. Jason and I have been searching for our camera for the past few weeks maybe even a month. So today when Jason got home we decided that we wouldn't give up on finding it. Of course we had asked the boys everyday if they had seen it and that they wouldn't get in trouble if they just told us where it was. So again we went through their rooms. And low in behold we find it under Tyler's bed. Now the integration begins on who took the camera. But wait we have evidence, the culprit took pictures of himself. After we had just asked him for the 500 time and he says no mommy I don't know where it went. That stinker Tyler took pictures of everything in his room and the backyard. Not a bad photographer but UGH! When will they learn. It is going to be a long road head for us.

Welcome to the Pedee's blog where we let you look into the wonderful life of what is going on with our everyday life.

By now you all might know that we are expecting our final addition to the family. Ryan Michael is suppose to arrive on April 18th. I am hanging in there, I went to the doctor today and am 1 cent. dilated. So hopefully he will come sooner than anticipated.

Right now I am staying at home with the boys and working on my business as a Scentsy consultant. I love it! I really enjoy staying at home with them and being able to be there for them. As for my business I sell wick less candles. It has helped me get that extra income and stay at home with the boys. It is growing more and more everyday. And I also feel like I am contributing to our family. I am also coaching under 12 girls soccer this season. It is a lot of fun but because I have a huge belly it is very difficult to demonstrate what I am talking about. Now I know you are thinking that I am crazy cause I am 9 months pregnant, coaching a team of 17 girls, raising two boys and taking care of another one. But I don't think I can stop. I feel like I always have be doing something(that requires me to stand) and since I really can't work out or do anything that requires me to sit, bend, or you name it I can't do it. But I have told myself that this is it, once Ryan comes I am done with volunteering myself for stuff.

As for Jason he is still working for CPL and is enjoying it. Not much to tell about what goes on in his work since everything that he works with is either dead or diseased. And if he wants to go into detail then he can get on this blog and open a new discussion.

Now comes the fun part of our life, our two wonderful little darlings. Tyler is finishing kindergarten this year. I can't believe that he will start 1st grade next year. He is doing very well. He just learned how to ride his bike without training wheels, it only took him about an hour to learn. He is such a fast learner, which he gets from his mom. He still is in karate which makes me happy cause I think that it gives him discipline and control. Other than that he is a normal kiddo making sure that he can get enough playing time in.

Now for Cooper. We are in the middle of potty training. Just like I need another thing on my plate. But I figured I go to the bathroom every 5 minutes why not get him to go with me. And then it just started clicking. My evil plan again works to my benefit. He is going to Mother's day out 2 days a week at a place next to the house. This is great for me cause I can get stuff done that I normally couldn't when I have Coop with me. But it always feel like the day flies by. Why is that? Mostly I want to sleep because I don't get to get a full 8 hours at night cause of all the trips to the bathroom that I make or the trips downstairs to get more water. It is an endless event every night. Only 4 more weeks left yea!!!!!! Besides that we are always on the go with play dates or errands to finish. Oh yea we finally got a Wii. I still have figured out if this was for the boys or Jason. Once the kiddos are asleep I find Jason in the game room playing it. When I ask what he is doing, he says he is trying to beat Tyler's score. More so it bothers him that his 5 yr old is better at video games than him.

Well it is late and I need to get a head start on the bathroom and my cups of water. Thanks for tuning in to the wonderful Pedee life. Check in for updates.

Till next time,

Andie
