A proud mamma

The boys did it!!!!! Thanks to Mimi and Papa for first taking them bikeling ( as Zack and Mimi called it :) while they were here. Mat and I took them out to an empty parking lot last week and guess what.. They both rode their bikes.. all they needed was a bit of a lift off and away they went!!

They did hit a few poles and Jayden seems to have a magnet to the 1 hole in the parking lot but that didn't stop them... They are bike riders now!!

I am so excited because when the baby is born I will be able to put Kaitlyn and the baby in a stroller and the boys can ride their bikes while I run!!!!

Oh and to top the day off.... A CHP was parked in the parking lot watching the boys.  When we were packing up he drove over and gave the kids badge stickers that said jr. officer and told the boys they were doing really good. That was the cherry on the cake for them :)

With 4 kids in our Petit family life is COMPLETELY busy... ( and one kid is still in utero:) which is why the complete lack of blogging lately... sorry. 
Another factor is our laptop met it's end is now a brick. Sitting at a desktop, in our master bedroom, on a uncomfortable chair isn't something I have found pleasure  doing lately. Therefore reason 2 for not blogging... ok enough is enough no more excuses just get on with blogging already!!


We are 4 months prego now. Since week 14 I have felt like a new woman. The 1st Trimester up until 2 weeks ago was a time I will NOT look back on with fond memories. The toilet bowl and I became way too close of friends. My couch now has my impression forever!  I think my family can attest to the non -"funess" of those months. BUT I am happy to say....... Gone are those days!!!! 

WOOOO HOOOO!!!!

   

   Now it is time to tackle all that got neglected... The fridge was so scary who knows what was growing in there. The closest had monsters living in them..... pile of stuff monsters from just throwing everything in them so we could walk on our floors without tripping !!! So that is what I have been up to lately oh that and EATING... guess my body is making up for the months of not eating. I feel like eating all the time and when I am not eating I am dreaming of eating :) Right now I LOVE salty. Salt and Vinegar Pop chips my favorite. My first craving was shelled roasted and salted sunflower seeds.. Oh yummm! Here I go getting hungry AGAIN:)

I felt the baby kick a few nights ago!!! 

Now we are anxiously awaiting our big ultrasound in a few weeks to see if it is pink or blue :)

 Here is the belly bump at 15 weeks taken a week and a half ago...

Yeah those 4th babies really do pop out a lot sooner!!

All in One

Christmas 

New Years 

and the days in between all in 1

Daddy had to work Christmas eve night so Nana and Auntie stayed the night with us...

Christmas morning mommy and nana  were the first to wake up :)

It was so fun seeing the kids eyes when they walked out and saw the living room. 

We had to wait until Daddy came home and Papa came over before the opening mayhem began

The kids anxiously waiting

When they couldn't stand waiting any longer we gave the ok to open the stockings :)

My Sister made Kaitlyn and I matching aprons!!!

Jas and Tiff came over a little bit later for round 2 of presents

Then table was set and the rest of the guests began to arrive ( My Grandpa and Gramdma and Great Aunt and Uncle). As soon as they walked in the door Jayden said "my tummy hurts really bad" Hewent to lay in my room.... Then the flu happened.... 1st Jayden.... then Daddy on Christmas day. I went down the next day and was out of commission for 3 days!!!

Kaitlyn got attacked by the flu on Friday while we were shopping at Micheals. Poor baby girl. We were set to leave a few hours later to pick up Mat's parents from the airport . Daddy still was feeling sick so he stayed home from work and drove to pick them up instead.  Not the way we were planning on starting their visit here but thankfully Kaitlyn was better the next day.

New Years we all went bowling

It was Kaitlyn's 1st time and she loved it. 

The boys did really good as well.

We have been having such wonderful weather we needed to take our Canadians on a beach trip to see our California winter :)

It was a beautiful sunny day!

The boys even took a dip in the ocean

Football Time

The Huddle- 

I just loved seeing them all in a family group hug.. But Jayden informed me that it was a huddle NOT a HUG :)

The Play

The Fans :)

The last morning of Mimi and Papas visit was spent at Peir 1 in San Fransisco.

Despite sickness we had a very enjoyable holiday with all our family. 

We are so thankful for each and every one for you!

Now it is back to routine for the Petit house!
