Sabino Canyon




We visited an amazing canyon this Friday on our last day with Pamela!
We live only 45 minutes away from this beautiful place, complete with waterfalls made from melting snow, little creeks and sandbanks to splash in, amazing canyon views and hiking! We had so much fun!
We really miss Pamela. She had been here for 8 days and we enjoyed every minute of it.
Every guest we have HAS to visit Sabino with us. It was amazing!

Warm Fuzzies!!

So,Pamela found this great story online about a village where people choose to hand out either warm fuzzies or cold pricklies, referring to words and actions the villagers passed on to others. So the girls think that's pretty neat and we're walking around talking about how we don't want any cold pricklies in our house!
Here's a verse that compliments the story.

Proverbs 11: 17
A kind man benefits himself, but a cruel man brings trouble on himself.

So in Drolet terms, one who freely gives out warm fuzzies will himself be warm , but the Drolet who is harsh and unkind will be cold and miserable.
Like my paraphrase???
Let today be a warm fuzzy day!

21 Weeks!!!!




We're over halfway there!!!!! Today we made Easter cupcakes and this is one Glory made for me. We had tons of fun and got sprinkles and icing all over the kitchen!
I also got my hair done Saturday! Like it!

Dad and His Girls!




Pictures from this week....a great book I'd suggest from the library is " A Chair For My Mother" by Vera B. Williams. It won an award and it's great! We have checked it out several times and the girls love it.

Movie Madness!!!

So, I'm not a huge movie person, but this weekend I saw two movies at the theater in 48 hours!!! Last night Jonathan and I went to see 10, 000 BC and tonight Pamela and I went to see Vantage Point. I like both!!! And enjoyed the buttery popcorn too, which I rarely splurge on!
Having a great time with Pamela here!

Still a Boy!

Today was our big ultrasound! Still a boy, apparently! And we are more excited than ever!
We also got to see perfect little hands and fingers and toes. He really liked us to see his feet. I think they'll be long little feet.
The heartbeat was amazing, the spinal cord and brain and kidneys, all looked great!
Dr. Farias said my weight gain is perfect but the baby will probably be a good size. He's measuring one week larger than his due date but that's fine. July 18 is still the due date. That's a Friday!
Before the ultrasound, we all went to McDonald's for breakfast at 0730 in the morning! The girls really enjoyed that! I had just gotten off the night shift so I was starving!!
Then I came home and slept after the appt. and Jonathan( get this)! went shopping for home decor! Shopping for home decor!!! I love it. He came home with a table runner and placemats, ottoman, and vase with fillers included!! And I liked everything he chose!!!He said he avoided th baby section because he wanted to buy all the boy stuff!!!! I'm really liking orange boy stuff right now for some reason!
The amazing thing is that even though I was so excited with all my pregnancies, this one is really special and different, maybe because it's a boy and we get to imagine what he'll look like and stuff and maybe because the girls are older and able to understand and help care for their sweet brother.
Either way, this is a very exciting time and we are thankful to see our family growing.
Thanks for reading and watching our blog. More to come!!!!!!

Oh, and by the way, Jonathan has a new and great job, in case I haven't gotten the word out. He is the day manager at Chick-Fil-A and planning on getting his own store eventually. Yes, I love the benefits of him bringing me food home. Today it was the Southwestern salad that I ate this am at 2!!!!! I'm at work!And the brownies, and the soup and the fries and the chicken biscuits.....I didn't just eat all that but I do love it all!
He's really happy there and the girls and I enjoy visiting him!
