FINALLY! They are pierced... She has chickened out 2 other times and I just figured she would never get them done. Last weekend she wanted some stick on earrings so we went to wal-mart to try to find some. We couldn't find any and ended up getting nail stickers and were going to use them as earrings and I told her no one would know the difference. She threw a little fit and said they would fall off and not stick. I told her that all stick on earrings fall off the only way to have earrings stay on all the time is to get them pierced. Then she wanted a DS game and Eric told her that if she gets her ears pierced then he would buy her the game. She thought about it on the way to Evansville and when we got to the mall she said she was gonna do it. Yeah we heard that before... But when we went into Claire's she hopped right in the chair and put her hair behind her ears and was all smiles and ready to go. She picked her earrings and they marked her ears and she was good to go. At this point I think I was more nervous for her than she was. When they did it her eyes got as big as baseballs and she looked like she was going to cry but then at the same time realized that she did it and it was over so no tears were shed :) Then she says okay let's go get my game... All in all it was a great weekend!

3rd Times A Charm!

A Little Update
Since it has been forever since I have blogged I thought I would give a little update. We found out in November that we are having a boy. We are all super excited for him to get here. Jaiden wasn't real excited at first about a brother but when I told her now she won't have to share her toys she perked right up and decided a brother wouldn't be too bad. I only have 7 1/2 more weeks left. This pregnancy has just flown by for me.
And finally, we sold our house in Iowa. We closed last Friday the 12th and being homeless has never felt better :) So now we are house hunting. We had a house found but it sold before we closed on our house. Looking is usually fun for us but since Eric is only home on weekends it is hard to get that into our schedule. And with the baby due in 7 1/2 weeks it is kind of stressing us out and we are afraid we are going to jump into something we don't really want just to get a house bought and moved into. Oh well eventually we will find something.
Other than that not much else is going on. Eric is working in Kankakee throughout the week until the end of April so me and Jaiden are couch buddies every evening. Good thing American Idol is on twice a week :) I am really going to try to keep this blog updated a little better. I have really been slacking but when you spend the days at work and the evening vegged on the couch not too much happens... :)
