She's almost here.....

Here are the belly shots from the last weeks of pregnancy...Can't help noticing that my face is getting a little round as well...aaaahhh the joys of being prego!!!

Sugar and Spice and everything nice..

I was trying to see my toes the other day and this was all I could manage!! Are we ready for this?

Ellie/Ella Bella/McKelle

Little princess, sweetheart, chatterbox...That is my little girl in a nutshell! She will talk to anyone that will listen! She loves to be a helper and is already a little mother to her brothers. (and sometimes a tattle tale...:) She likes to keep us informed of all the details of everyone she knows. She loves all her little stuffed animals and is ususally carrying one around wherever she is. She would think she had died and gone to heaven if we would get her a real kitty, but unfortuneately mom is allergic and that isn't going to happen. (She once asked me if I would move out so she could have a kitty....) She loves animals of all kinds and dotes on her two frogs, Squirt and Ava. When she grows up she told me she wants to be a fashion designer/pet store worker. She said her favorite food is olives (only the black ones...). That is my Ellie to a "T", quirky, hilarious, in her own special world! She loves to paint fingernails and toenails and has even talked her dad into being a subject every once in a while!! She is loving her gymnastics class and all the tricks she is learning! She can't wait to be a big sis and hopes that this baby will "be as cute as she is". She is loving kindergarten and is becoming quite the writer and reader! We love you princess.

Carter/Carticia/Cordero

Carter!! This is my energetic, intelligent, highly emotional child! He gets so passionate about things and just can throw himself head first into whatever he wants to accomplish! He has more energy than any kid I have ever met! HIs teachers love him! He loves to read (like his mom) and goof off with his dad whenever he can! He loves to play piano and basketball, but hates to practice! He tried his hand at volleyball and really enjoyed that too! He likes to build and invent things and has so many ideas on how he is going to improve the world someday! He loves math and science at school and is a great writer! I love to read the stories his imagination comes up with! He is a good big brother (most of the time...when they aren't "bugging" him) and is a big help around our house! I depend on him a lot for his help! He is a little mini-Matt which is scary and wonderful at the same time! We are happy to have him be part of our family!

Gager/Gagey/Gageroni

Here is my little toad! He makes me laugh everyday and I can't believe how big he is getting! He is finally potty trained!! yay! He loves to show off his "big boy pants" and whatever he happens to be "making" in the potty! He loves to color, read stories and follow mom and dad around! He is getting ready to move into a "big boy" bed with the arrival of little Lamb #4. It's hard for me not to think of him as my baby anymore....He loves to give hugs and kisses and is Daddy's boy most of the time! He likes to do everything all by himself and tells me everyday that he is "growing big". He loves bubble gum and anything to do with trucks and tractors. He will do just about anything for a pack of gum! His favorite movie right now is "Toy Storey 2" and has to watch it at least 2-3 times daily. He loves to tag along with brother and sister (when they let him!) He just learned to do a somersault and likes to show it off whenver anyone is watching!! He likes to be called "Gager" and not "Gageroni"and has no problem telling you that! We love our little guy!
