Ty’s been getting on my case about posting more often. Honestly I really want to update more than I do mostly because there is so much going on in our lives and it’s hard to recap everything in one post. I will try my best to check in every couple weeks. Here’s the latest and greatest with one major update at the end…dun dun dun!
3…2…1…GO!
Shouldn’t we be using these cardboard boxes for packing?!…Ty helped the girls make cardboard armor for their Nerf gun fights and here they are testing it out.

And now for the news….
The Tydingco’s are at it again and we’re expecting baby number 4 in November 2015! The first trimester flew by and I’m feeling great at 16 weeks.
I found out while AnthonyPaul was in the hospital at the beginning of March.
Conversations:
X-ray tech – Is there any chance you could be pregnant b/c we may need your help holding your son as we take some scans.
Me – Umm….shoot…what day is it? Maybe?!
Me – Hey babe, look at this house for sale. It’s perfect because it has 6 bedrooms; enough for all of us. One for the baby, one for the nanny, one for us, one for Jo, one for Ana, and one for AnthonyPaul.
Ty – Um…we only need 5 [can’t you count, woman?!]
Me – No, we need 6 [pulls out positive pregnancy test…BOOM…I can count!!]
During our early Mother’s Day Dinner
Ty – Let’s give mommy her gifts [Alex and Ani bracelets from each kid, one from daddy, and one extra box with this…]
Jo – REALLY?! AGAIN?! OMG we’re having another baby!
Ana – [Starts to cry]
Ty and I – [Laughing hysterically]
And there you have it, folks. The crazy that is my life just wasn’t crazy enough that we decided to add another little munchkin into the mix. We were just as surprised, but ecstatic about our new addition. Here’s a few more pictures that we can share now.

3. Study for Project Management Certification
4. Hustle and try to find a job
5. Plan and execute minor home renovations
6. Move into house
7. Coordinate medical appointments, school enrollments, summer camps, Father’s Day/4th of July celebrations, etc.
8. Grow a human
Less than 10 items. I got this…right?!
