Baking Cookies

Sprinkling sugar on the peanutbutter cookies.

Yummy batter
What a silly face....they tasted good to me.

Third Trimester

I just began my 3rd trimester!!! At this time Hayden is approximatley 2 to 3 pounds and 14.8 inches from the top of his head to his heels. He will be plumping up quite a bit before July. He can blink his eyes, which now sport lashes. He his getting to be a big boy! Here is a picture of the bedding we ordered. We have changed our minds a million times, and may change it again. I'm so excited to be getting ready for little Hayden Sipes!!

A week away

This past week flew by! The Sipes family went to Dallas to hang out with the Miller family. We arrived last Sunday evening and stayed until Friday. We had a very eventful week....busy busy. The mommys and kids just did the regular stuff, went to the park, did some shopping and just hung out. It was great to spend the week with my best friend, Jeannie! Thursday night the adults went out for a fun night at a yummy Mexican food restaurant called Gloria's. They have outstanding food and service. All four of us enjoyed every bite, and the weather was so great we dined on the patio.

Since starting his new job at America's PowerSports Gary has been driving 100 miles round trip from Haslet to Allen. He really enjoyed the 40 mile a day commute from Mark and Jeannie's house right up the road to Allen. We should move closer to Allen, but now is not such a good time. Hayden's arrival is in less than 12 weeks. OMG...I haven't really done much to get his nursery ready. We finally found some bedding we like, but I need to get started organizing. The crib is assembled, and his closet is cleaned out, but that is about it! Gary took a picture of my tummy yesterday after church....

I hope you all had a great weekend!

Boogies

Layla is feeling icky today. She keeps telling me she has allergies. She is mad about her "boogies," but won't blow her nose! The whole nose blowing thing is driving me crazy....she acts like she can't blow out her nose. I am just as frustrated as she is. She has been laying around all morning complaining about her nose. Uhmmm sounds like me complaining about my back. She came into the office earlier and wanted me to take a picture of her...so here it is boogies and all!

Update on MeMaw (Yvonne)

We were so happy after the heart testing last week. We were thankful that medication was going to fix Yvonne's weak heart. God had other plans for her. Sometime on last Friday she suffered a stroke. The doctor's seem optimistic, but it is hard for us to see her so different. The stroke effected her vision and swallowing. She (hopefully) should be able to re-learn to swallow with therapy. Therapists are working with her everyday. The vision is iffy...sometimes she can see great, and then other times she has to blink to see us clearly. She remembers us when we are with her, but sometimes forgets us when we leave the room. It has only been a few days so we are praying for whatever God has in his plan. She is 71 years old....survived a really bad car accident 3 years ago, she has broken each hip and had them fixed. We feel like she has made it though so much already....hopefully she can overcome this also. Gary and I just pray that she doesn't suffer, and right now she seems good, she isn't in pain, and she is in ICU getting the best care possible. We love you MeMaw!!!
