19 Weeks
Ok, so I took 3 different pictures and I didn't like any of them. My skin looks awful and so does my hair...which I didn't actually fix today. I photo shopped my skin, but it doesn't look much better. So I tell you all of that to explain why this is a headless picture. I do actually still have my head it just looks disgusting so I cropped it out :) Really all you care about is the belly anyways, right?

Mia's a Kindergarten Graduate!
Oh yeah that's right. Our precious little Mia Claire graduated from Kindergarten on Thursday. She was so precious...I got teary-eyed. But then again, I am an extremely emotional person and I am pregnant, so that is to be expected I suppose. Here are a few pictures of the cutie:

Connie had a birthday!
Connie is 31...oops...I mean uh, 29! Hehehe :) I only say this because she tried to convince Mia, who for some reason was not so convinced, that she was 29. Mia said "39?!" To which Connie said "NO! Not 39! 29 Mia! Get it straight! OK, fine, I am 31! Happy?!" or something like that...it just cracked me up :) You've got to be careful what you tell Miss Mia, because now that she has passed through kindergarten she will catch you if you tell her something false or isn't nice. I have pictures from her precious kindergarten graduation this week, but that will come later, I have some playing to do in photoshop first!
Here are a couple of pictures to commemorate Connie's birthday:
The pretty flowers that Levi got for Connie
Connie and her loves...Levi looks pretty dopey, but that is normal.

Trying something new...
Ok, so during lunch today, Ellie and I were scoping out the strawberries and Ellie was telling me about how she never knew how much she loved chocolate covered strawberries. So...I get this bright idea to dip our strawberries in my chocolate (fat free) pudding. YUMMY!! Well...it is definitely not as good as the actual chocolate coated strawberries, but it is a good compromise and contains a lot less sugar/fat ratio. So, I just thought I would let everyone in on my discovery. Although some of you may have tried this before, so it may actually not be new...but I thought it was yummy, so I thought I would share.
**Side note: I do need to tell you that the pudding does not stick to the strawberry, so you will have to scoop it out and put it on.

The birds, the birds!!
Ok, so last night I get home and I feel completely exhausted and my eyes are so tired and dry they just want to shut. Well I come in, Chris is on the computer, and I go and lay down on the couch. I lay there for about 15 minutes maybe when I start hearing this crazy squawking noise. At first I think it is the ceiling fan and I lay there and wonder, what on earth possessed it to start making that noise? Then I realize Chris hears it too, so it must be as loud as I think it is. We look at each other and say..."it sounds like there are a hundred birds outside of our house...in a panic"
Spencer is outside.
We go to the dining room and look out the window...and what do we see? Oh you know, just like a 100 birds swooping down and pecking at Spencer, he jumps back and then goes back to his chase behind some wood panels leaning up against the fence. We are like...what is going on? Then we see it...a baby bird...in SPENCER'S MOUTH!!! He is terrorizing a baby bird. No wonder the entire bird population of Texas was in our back yard squawking and chirping and going crazy. It was like a scene from the Alfred Hitchcock movie "The Birds" made back in 1963!! The birds were swooping all over, going crazy.
I had to stop the madness!
But you see, I am somewhat terrified of birds, because of the previous mentioned movie. I have seen it several times, even as a child and some birds terrify me with their beady little eyes. The birds that were out to get Spencer were those kinds of birds...not pretty ones, just brown and black birds with beady yellow eyes.
But even in my terror, I HAD to stop Spencer from eating this little baby bird! So I run outside (barefoot by the way) and yell "NO SPENCER, NO!! STOP IT!" All the while trying not to get attacked by the hundreds of birds swooping all over the place. Finally I scare Spencer enough with my mean momma voice and he runs the opposite direction when I dart for him. So he runs from me a couple of more times and I say "Get over here NOW!!" He, with his head down and ears flat on his neck comes toward me and I grab him and say "No, Spencer, we do not attack baby birds...bad dog! Those momma birds would eat you for dinner!" I stow him away in his kennel and attempt to get the pieces of wood off of the fence so the momma can see her baby bird is ok and quit the annoying squawking...Chris advises me against this...he does not want to see me attacked. So he decides to go and remove the wood...he says "now tell me if one of them starts to come after me" I say "ok" and he goes to move the first piece. No harm done, so he goes to move the second piece...this time the momma swoops in and tries to get Chris' head. I said "Whoa, heads up" but it was a little late and I got in trouble b/c he said the bird was right next to his ear. Me, on the other hand as the spectator, can tell you that, no it was not right next to his ear, even though I am sure it sounded that way, he was about a foot from his head. Too close for comfort still. So we decide to go back inside and leave Mr. Spencer in his kennel.
Chris and I were both surprised he went after this bird. Where, he is extremely fast...he is not at all a brave dog, so we are surprised he even went after it. We decided it must have been because the poor baby could not get away as fast as the adult birds.
So all the other birds leave and we are left with one very ticked off momma bird that will NOT stop squawking...Chris is going to get his bee bee gun...I said "you cannot shoot that bird...Spencer attacked her baby. And you cannot shoot a gun into our neighbors yard, you could hit her or one of her dogs!!" He is nuts. So I finally decide we should leave and go out for dinner, otherwise Chris is going to go strangle the momma bird with his bare hands for not shutting up already. We say a short prayer for Spencer as we leave...hoping he does not get malled by the birds when we are gone.
Happy to say, Spencer is alive and well. I think once the momma finally got down with her baby she must have chilled. She paced the top of our brand new fence for like twenty minutes squawking and puffing out her feathers! That I should have captured on film...it was a site to see. Spencer is so dense though, I would be shocked if this same thing doesn't happen again. Maybe next time, during all the fuss I will think to get my camera. It would have been a crazy funny video to see all the hundreds of birds stalking our little chicken Spencer...
