Cast Your Vote: Is Baby Rhema a Boy or a Girl?

Time to vote!!! Do you think Baby Rhema is a little boy or little girl? Some old wives tales for predicting gender are below; 13 boy and 12 girl!

Cast your vote in the poll at the top of the blog!!! Have fun :)

Myth	Description	Result
Carrying Low	If your belly hangs low (or in front), you're having a boy. If it's high (or wide in the middle), you're having a girl.	BOY
Rhythm of the Heart	If the baby's heart beats faster than 140 beats per minute, it's a girl.	GIRL
Sweet Tooth	A pregnant woman who craves sweets is having a boy. If she craves sour foods, she's having a girl.	BOY

Look at the Calendar	The Chinese Lunar Calendar can predict a baby's gender based on the mother's age when she conceived, and the month of conception.	GIRL
The Baking Soda Test	Put enough baking soda into a cup to cover the bottom, then pee into the cup. If the baking soda fizzes, you’re having a boy, if it doesn’t react, a girl.	GIRL
Legs	If your legs get really big, you're having a boy. If your legs stay in shape and lean, its a girl.	GIRL

Spring Program 2014

Have I said how much I LOVE Addison's Preschool? She has the most wonderful teachers---loving, spiritual guiders, strict, great at teaching and FUN! Last week Addison had her Spring Program; they sang a song from each month over the past school year. They were all so quiet singing....stage fright :) Matthew was able to come as well as our dear friend and her little boy--about 15 months younger than Caleb. Addison felt very special she had some family and friends in the audience.

Here they come!

Waiting for directions!

Praying before they begin

"skittle marinky dinky doo...I love you in the morning..."

"skittle marinky dinky doo....I love YOU"

They took a picture when school started and just before the program--Addison grew 2-3 inches and gained a few lbs. She was the tallest, tying with one other little girl!

One of her friends who came to watch :)

Good Morning Birthday Girl

Happy 4th Birthday Addison Joy!!!!!

Birthday Crapes for my FOUR year old! I made Crapes with mini Chocolate chips and Whipped Cream and Sprinkles--gotta have fun on your birthday!! She LOVED it...and so did her brother!

She sees the special breakfast

She blinked in every picture...darn flash

Even Caleb blinked in every picture

Caleb could NOT wait to sing her Happy Birthday---he was singing it as soon as they woke up!

Of course he eats the whipper first

Trying to figure out how to eat it

"I am FOUR now" She says!

Always eating!

Thespian?

As my mom said----do we have a Thespian on our hands?!? :) He did this all without prompting, HAHA!

Date Night

I love a good date night!! We had a nice long date last Saturday--might be the last one before the baby so we relished it!

First we played a game of putt putt since it was finally not miserably cold out.

Then we ate at Crescent Moon which was a pub---it has all sorts of beer, local and from Belgium. Unfortunately it was se beer fest so Matthew couldn't do a beer flight. Oh well---next time. We also wanted to go there to eat their Reuben and it was worth it. Yum.

On a whim we walked to a movie theater where you can watch a movie and eat (Matthew was still hungry after sharing a Reuben with me lol). So we watched Noah and he ate more :). Super fun and super thankful for my babysitting co-op watching my kids.
