Denist Visits :)

We (as in the whole family) went to the dentist last week :)! It has been forever since I have been (over 10 years) so I know I needed to go and Colin wanted to get his cleaned and checked out. I was SCARED out of my mind. Colin thought this was hilarious of course. I almost had a panic attack before I even sat down. But once I sat down it was a breeze! I was very glad I went. Of course I didn't even think that I wouldn't be able to get my x-rays since I am pregnant. DUH HEATHER! So I of course had no x-rays but the dentist did see some cavities. Which I knew. And also advised me to get my wisdom teeth pulled. Which I was VERY against until he told me that if they come all the way through and there isn't enough room for them it could make my bottom teeth crocked (ok so I cant spell too good but you get what I am saying) And I definately didnt want my teeth like that since I have always had pretty straight teeth without braces. So I will be getting those out once Abby gets here. but of course I will get my x-ray before then! Hopefully no root canals. The dr said most likely I wont since my teeth do not seem that bad! YAY! Colin is getting his wisdom teeth out finally. He wasnt sure if he would or not but decided that it was best. Poor thing :( So all in all Colin and I's appt was great.
Now for the girls :) Colin was gone of course so I had to take them by myself. I was pretty nervous since it was Madisons first time and Rylee usually throws a fit each time she has gone. NOT THIS TIME! It was wonderful! The girls went to the back by themselves. They dont let the parents back there its a kids only zone :) I think Madison and Rylee really loved that. The lady came back to tell me that they cleaned both girls teeth and BOTH laughed and giggled the whole time they were doing it. Madison didnt need x-rays but Rylee did to see how her teeth were since her fall last Feb. (she lost her bottom tooth and has to go get x-rays every 3 months although she has only gotten 3 so far OOPS) She did great with the x-ray and the dentist even told me that she sat in the chair all by herself this time. She is such a big girl! I was super proud of both of them for being such big girls. The dentist said that they both brush their teeth VERY well and he was super impressed! He said he figured I was still brushing their teeth. And I informed him that I dont brush their teeth anymore that they do better when they watch me do mine. So we do it all together! YAY! So no cavaties and their teeth are doing great. Rylees front teeth are a little darker than last time but they show no sign of dying which is good so he was pleased. So all in all each of us had great dentist appointments. Daddy and I have to get follow ups but I am actually looking forward to it and I dont think I will have a panic attack this time.

New car, Blue Bayou and some other what nots :)

Ever since Colin has gotten home we have not stopped. Between swimming, visiting family, getting ready for Abby, getting a new car and all this other stuff that has come up its been crazy around here. This week we are finally slowing down though. I think we ALL need it!
So first about my new car. As most know my little Escape hasnt been doing very great since we moved last year. I guess all the driving back and forth really did a number on it. But these past few months it got bad. And then it just died. I was sad but also knew it was time for a new one. And plus we needed an upgrade since Abby will be making her debut in about 2 months. While Colin was gone we searched online and I decided that I needed 3 rows with bucket/captain seats in the middle for easy access to the back but I also wanted a lot of room in the back :) So I was picky. Pretty much I wanted a suburban!! So when he got home we went look around and at about 2 places and ended up getting my new car! I LOVE IT! It is perfect for our family and best of all I dont have to be scared of it breaking down. LOVE IT! So I am almost 23 years old and finally have a new car!! Pretty nice! My hubby spoils me! HA!
Now for Blue Bayou! We knew even with me being pregnant that we wanted to get season passes to BB this year since the girls LOVE LOVE the water and arent scared of anything. Well, we finally went the other day. WOW! I always knew they werent scared but I never thought in a million years they would be soooo adventurous. My 2 and almost 4 year old BOTH went down the slides. BY THEMSELVES! WHAT?!?! They had a blast. Rylee even got super mad when we told her she was too little to go down the Black Snake Slide (Thats what she called it) and the straight down slide (Plunge) WHAT! I am not even a fan of the plunge. And I do seriously think if they would have let her she would have went down BOTH. They had a BLAST. Which I knew they would but now I am in trouble if I try to bring them by myself. So I guess I will have to steal the BIL or someone to come with me so they can ride the slides together! I am so glad they had a blast. And I think Colin had just as much fun as they did :)
I have had a couple doctor appointments since last time I posted. Everything is still great of course. Abby is doing great and kicking like crazy. I love it. The girls are still singing to her EVERYDAY! They love her so much already. Its sooo sweet. They are always kissing and hugging Abby. Although Rylee does still get mad when she is trying to sleep on my belly and Abby starts kicking away. but she is getting better. HA! At my last doctor appointment Abbys heartrate was 162 bpm :) She is RIGHT on track to what the girls were! I get another ultrasound soon to check everything out and hopefully get my induction date FOR SURE this time. We are throwing Aug 4th around. But its not set yet (meaning its not in the Drs little black book, its just on my MASSIVE file on a yellow sticky note). Speaking of having a massive file. Man mine is HUGE. I was almost embarressed. HA! I guess when you have 3 kids at the same dr and have been going to him since you were 13 yours would be huge too but it was a little much. Pretty funny though. The dr. said it was good to be that big as long as its pregnancy related :) So I guess its a good thing. Well, thats it for now. I have a slide show I will be posting later when Colin gets home so I can get my pictures :)

Busy, busy and Swimming :)

Not sure why but lately has just been SUPER busy. I guess summer time is always busy but geez! Anyways! We have been swimming almost everyday so far since it has been warm. The girls are doing great this year. They cant wait for their daddy to come home so they can really learn to swim. Madison has it down pretty well and Rylee too but she of course will take a little longer because she just gets so excited. Its precious. Madison is swimming under the water for longer distances these days which is awesome. And she is super proud of herself for doing it too. Rylee is swimming super fast. Its so funny watching her get from one point to another. I have learned that they love to race each other. They both are pretty fast but I think Rylee might be a tad bit faster. Oh well its cute to watch!
I guess being pregnant really takes a toll on swimming. I never realized it would be so hard to swim laps with a baby in my belly. WOW! Its a challenge. I guess that is why they tell you its great excercise during pregnancy. It sure is! We have lots of fun and the girls love watching Abby swim! HA! And I do think Abby likes it too since she is always kicking up a storm when I stop! So sweet. I guess we will have another fish added to our family. They all take after their daddy so well. I will have to take some pictures of the girls swimming since I have YET to take any. OOPS!
Daddy is coming home!! YAY! The girls are super excited. They talk about it everyday. They go look at my calendar and count how many days it is each day. Its so sweet. They love knowing exactly when he will be home. They are such daddy's little girls. I am sure Abby will be too! Daddy will have a lot to look forward to when these girls get to high school. I bet he will scare all the boys away :)
Well, I havent been taking many pictures lately but will have to start. We have a lot coming up so pictures will be needed.

She has a name :)

After a lot of researching and everything we finally came up with a name for Baby Girl number 3! Her name will be Abigail (Abby) Dawn Barleycorn :) I cant wait until she gets here! We are just super excited that she now has a name! YAY for Abby!

The Verdict is :)

Its another GIRL!~ YAY! I was super excited to find out it was another girl mainly because well I know girls already! HA! Colin seemed actually very relaxed with the idea of three girls. I think he just knew deep down we cant "make" boys. The girls got to come to the ultrasound with us and enjoyed it so very much. Right after the lady announced it was a girl Madison said to all of us, "See mommy I told you the WHOLE time it was a girl." Rylee is also super excited about a new baby sister. So now daddy has 3 little princesses to spoil! I cant wait and I am sure Colin and the girls cant either. We still havent decided on a name but as soon as we do I will let the blogging world know :)

Easter Egg Hunt at Church :)

Here are some pictures of the kiddos hunting for eggs at Colin's parents church. I had my cousins Mason and Reed with me and we all enjoyed doing the egg hunt! It was precious.

This is Madison waiting before the hunt with Daddy :)

Rylee looking for her eggs!

Madison with the lady that walked around with her during the egg hunt!

Rylee and the same lady that helped Madison! She helped both my girls!

All the kiddos with their Easter Baskets!

THE EASTER BUNNY....

This year for the Easter Bunny was totally differnet than last year. Madison loved him last year and Rylee wanted NOTHING to do with him. Well this year things changed :) We didnt even mean to see the Easter Bunny since we were waiting on the girls dresses to be able to take pictures with him. Well as we were picking up the dresses from a little boutique called Allie Kats (by the way its sooo cute!) where we were getting their dresses monogramed. The Easter Bunny was in the shopping center waving at all the cars passing by! Both girls of course went nutts! So we had to of course go see him. I didnt even have my camera ready because I didnt think either would go to him. Much less smile for a picture with him! So of course neither was dressed for the occasion but we tried! Rylee went nutts over him. She was a little shy at first but she actually sat in his lap for the cutest picture!! Madison on the other hand was very shy. She was fine as long as daddy was holding her but as for her sitting by herself it wasnt happening! No problem right! Just make daddy sit with her! GENIUS! So Madison sat next to the bunny with her daddy protecting her! But she was all smiles! It was super cute! And the Easter Bunny was PRECIOUS!! He was dancing and cutting up making the girls laugh and laugh! It was precious!!!
