MY GUT IS NOT THAT BIG

FYI, I know my gut appears to be very large in the blessing pictures. Let me make this very clear, it's an optical illusion! It's something about me shirt being untucked or something, but I swear my gut is about half that size! I promise.

Wayne

Our little Chasers

Finally, I have some pictures to share. Chase has begun to smile this week. He is growing so much and finally has some chub to him, well I think so. It is so much fun having another addition to our family. It has been very busy trying to juggle, nursing, house cleaning, meals and kids and I can't forget my husband but, it is awesome and I love every minute.

What I would Do if I became a Billionaire:
I would buy a mini van w/ the dvd players, I would buy a house with no hoa, a bigger family room and a bigger couch. oh and I would hire someone else to paint and landscape. I would set aside money for my kids missions, our own mission and their educations. I would pay for my mom to move back. I would want to help people I know and pay off their debts. I would love to visit Hawaii, Paris, oh pretty much anywhere. I can't forget the Disneyworld cruise. I would pay for Wayne to go to Law School. He's always wanted to be an attorney and I would want to get my bachelors. Then I would write a check to Africa or somewhere for the rest.
