Did my title make you guys think I was pregnant?! Well........I'm not! And am desperately trying to not have Baby Mac #3, but fate may be running it's own course! The absurdity of my failed efforts at getting birth control have us really questioning our destiny. :) With LOST on the brain...are we destined to have another child no matter how much I try to prevent it?! To clear up my ramblings, here's my dilemma...
Almost a month ago I went in for my annual exam and consulted with the doctor about stopping the pill and getting an IUD. She agreed and explained the process of getting a referral, then a consult, and then the procedure (a pain, but no biggie). She said she'd give me one more pill packet to get me through the month. I left the office and headed to the pharmacy only to find (OBSTACLE #1) it would probably be an hour wait. I decided to come back at a later date because Leevi was home watching all 5 babies (his birth control!) :) I knew Leevi was going to be on post later that week, so he'd be able to pick up my prescription. When Leevi went to get the script filled we found out that (OBSTACLE #2) my dr. forgot to call it in!!! I called the next day and another doctor was able to write one for me and I could pick it up at a different pharmacy closer to some errands that I had to do that day. I went to pick it up and (OBSTACLE #3) the computers were down!!!! The next day I called to see if the computers were working and drove over to Pearl Harbor specifically for that only and (OBSTACLE #4) the prescription was supposed to get filled at Schofield! I laughed at the pharmacist and joked that someone is trying to get me pregnant! She was able to switch it around and I got it filled. I finally got my referal call and scheduled my appt for my consult. I arrived at the dr. office at 2:10 today for my 2:30 appt only to find that (OBSTACLE #5) I was late and the appt was supposed to be at 1:30!!!!!!!!!!
So.......................I am calling my doctor on Monday and getting a year prescription of the pills (not taking any chances!) and hopefully will get a second consult appt soon! Until then, hopefully FATE will stay at bay and we can continue our happy little life as a family of FOUR!
I hope you can see it in the pictures, but this yellow and black butterfly flew around the girls for a good 5 minutes coming and going. Hailey was so patient and tried to get it to land on her. In the picture below it's right in front of Kailee's knee.
So close to landing on her hand...
It landed on Kailee's bum instead! 
Almost...it's to the left of Hailey's hand
Kailee thinking, "How the heck did I end up under here?!"
Valentine cookies after dinner
Cookie plus a little sand...she did great about not intentionally eating the sand this time
I think we saw at least 3 weddings while we were there (Valentine's special). Japanese tourists shell out a couple thousand dollars to come to KoOlina and get married. It's almost as if they are eloping...we rarely see any wedding party or family. They rent the dress and tux and get married and then walk onto the beach for pictures. I always wonder if they are able to edit the beach-goers out of the pics
Wrestling with Daddy
Yep, she threw this shoe at me!
We played hide-n-seek and this was Leevi and Kailee's hiding spot!
It was perfect!!!!
No exaggeration on this: Hailey asked if we could watch the moon come up after the sun went down and then she said, "Does this look like the moon?!" (see pic below!!!) Leevi and I were rolling and almost missed the sunset because of tears in our eyes! Don't know where she comes up with this stuff!!!!!????
Happy Valentine's Day!!!!!!!!!!!! 
August 2009
Counting their dinosaurs!
She was quite productive with her scribbles
And how "school" ended....Hailey deligently finishing up her worksheet, the other babies over it and down playing, and Kailee being a monster!
And when we aren't "playing school" this is a favorite pasttime of the babies...I like to refer to it as "Hide and Scream". They hide behind the island and run out screaming!
