Here I am!!

Funny how time changes everything...when i was prego with Austin I took a picture every single week to document and mailed them to my mom and shawn's mom (since we lived in TX and they were in KS). And here's my first prego shot with BT4 - 25.5 weeks along...

With Austin in school and me starting to get exhausted at night, I've been slacking on the blogging end - I promise to be better! Things are fantastic here - we had a rough couple of weeks, possible complications with BabyT4, but found out early this week that everything is perfect and we are doing just fine. What a huge relief!! Now if we can just find somewhere for this baby to sleep when it gets here in a few months...hmmmm - and NO it will not be sleeping in my room - that's off limits at the Turner house. As a mom you pretty much get no privacy (the last time I peed by myself was...well...Austin turns 4 on Sunday....so almost 4 years ago). So, my room is for me and my hubby only. Anyway, things are good - I got back into Bible Study this year - it's been very interesting and informative and I have really enjoyed it. Austin is loving school and is REALLY excited to turn 4. He enjoys having show-and-tell at school every Wednesday - it's always a joy to hear what he has decided to take...last week he took his cowboy hat - here's a conversation between me and him after school that day...
Mom: Did you show your friends your cowboy hat?
Austin: yip
Mom: What did you tell your friends about it?
Austin: I told them this is my cowboy hat, and I put it on, I took it off, I said "yee haw!" and put it back on.
Mom: Wow - what do you want for lunch?

Cracks me up, that kid!
Ashlyn has really enjoyed the time that brother is away at school - she thinks she is one big kid and loves being the boss of Gabriella for 2 hours. It's pretty funny. Ashlyn will also be celebrating a b-day in a few days - the big 3! She is sooo into her baby dolls and purses - I can't take credit for the baby dolls, but the purse fetish could definitely have come from my genes.
Gabriella has pretty much taken over the household - the girl is crazy. She is all over the place and is constantly in trouble. The other two were never quite like her - she is giving me a run for my money. And she is talking and saying all kinds of words which is also pretty funny. She is absolutely adorable and has the cutest not-so-innocent smile, but I always seem to get a little excited when it's time for her to go to sleep ha ha.
Mom and Dad were out of town for their week long September vacation they take every year - so glad to have them back! sure did get lonely around here...
I'll leave you with a not so good pic of the kids, but well, do you really expect to get a 3,2, and 1 year old to look at the camera?? And now, I'm off to watch the Office season premiere!! yipee!!

Hope you are having the time of your life!
