1. The truth is... Josh and I went to the cannery this morning. It was really weird, but I'm glad to say that we got some food for a year supply!
2. The truth is... Josh and I applied for Life Insurance at the beginning of the month. We were able to get the cheaper rate because we are in good health! Yea! A smaller monthly payment!
3. The truth is... I want to get the kitchen and hallway painted in my house before summer ends. If you want to help, we are starting the kitchen Thursday morning!
4. The truth is... everyday at 4P.M. Friends is on the CW (channel 61). I watch it even though I've seen the episodes a lot.
5. The truth is... In the summer Jack Jack likes to sit in puddles of water. We fill a paint pan full of water for him to sit in... he really enjoys it. Maybe I can get a picture of it sometime because it is awesome! It is a way to keep himself cool when we force him outside.

Tuesday Truths
1. The truth is... Josh is awesome because he puts up with my penguin obsession.
2. The truth is... Josh took me to go see "Mr. Poppers Penguins". It was funny but because of the random Jim Carrey moments I got annoyed. The penguins were the best part.
3. The truth is... now that it is getting hotter outside, I feel bad putting Jack Jack outside.
4. The truth is... I'm starting to make decorations for the nursery. I want to have it mostly completed before school start because once it does I probably won't have any energy to do something.
5. The truth is... I finally found a paint color for my kitchen! I just hope it goes on sale soon so I can paint before the baby comes. I doubt it, but it is a hope!

14 Weeks
I think that you can tell that I'm on summer break because all of a sudden I am posting a lot. Well, a lot of things have been happening which is great! Anyway, I will admit that I am extremely sad that Josh and I will no longer be going to Disneyworld in October. I'll be 7 months pregnant and Josh doesn't want me flying or going that far away from home. So, we are making other plans. Actually, I think that I'm just as excited about our new plans as I am our old ones. We are going to Sea World! That is not the best part. They have a penguin experience tour (you have to pay extra) that Josh says we can go on! Totally exciting! Close encounters with penguins. I'm so glad that I have an understanding and supportive husband. Anyway, onto what I was going to post about. (It is long so beware!)
I know that I've announced the fact that I'm pregnant to everyone, but I figure that I should write about it. I'm warning all of you readers that if you are pregnant or have had a bad first trimester then stop reading. Why? Just trust me, I'll probably have a lot of people leaving nasty comments if you don't. I'll admit it, mine was really easy. I'm now 14 weeks along and after my appointment yesterday (not my first) everything sounds great! I got to hear the heartbeat which was totally exciting. Anyway, my first trimester was really easy. I blame it on the fact that I was trying to make it to the end of the school year so I couldn't concentrate on the fact that I could be sick, but that's fine. Every once in awhile I would get a little sick at night while cooking dinner, but it wasn't bad enough to where I couldn't eat. I was always able to get out of bed in the morning. I was just tired all the time. I would take a half hour nap around 4:30PM and then still be able to go to bed around 9ish. Other than that , I can't complain (which is not even worthy of complaining) about pregnancy so far. I'm sure it will be worse with the rest of the kids.
We actually found out that I was pregnant April 16th. I knew it on the 15th, but I hadn't verified it. Josh always said I would know before I actually took a test, and he was right. We then started having the debate about when to tell our family and friends. I'll be honest, I was super excited and I wanted to tell right away but I also wanted to know an exact due date. Nothing seemed right. My first appointment was May 18th and when I say my baby for the first time, I knew that I was ready to tell people although was about 10 weeks. So, we started telling people. I gave my dad an early father's day present which was a movie I made with a song called "Family Man" by Craig Campbell. Here it is, if you want to watch it.
Anyway, at the end my dad said "who's baby is that?" I guess I should have put Baby Hoffman along with the due date. Anyway, I think that they are excited. When we told Josh's mom she started crying and his dad was super excited. I didn't think he would be but he is. I think he knew it was coming.
Well, here is a picture of our sweet baby at 9 weeks.
Jack Jack is super excited and cannot wait to have a little brother or sister. We get to find out next month and I cannot wait! I would post some baby bump pictures but I don't have much of one yet. I'm barely in the weird stage if fitting into some pants but not others. Its a little frustrating but I wouldn't be able to survive without the bella band. It is totally worth the money. Well, I can't wait to see what the next few months brings. Yes I will post pictures, when I can get to that point!

Conversation with Raegan
I love kids because you can have some of the BEST conversations with them. Sometimes they even amaze me with what they know. Here is a conversation I had with Raegan on Sunday while she was at my house.
Me: "I love you Jack Jacks."
Raegan: " Emily its not Jack Jacks because there is only one of him so it should be Jack Jack."
Me: "Raegan, how did you know that it should be just Jack Jack?"
Raegan: "I don't know."
I still can't figure out how she knew about the whole plural thing since she's only three, but it was still awesome! I love awesome conversations with kids... I think I already said that.

Tuesday Truths
1. The truth is... my niece Raegan and Jack Jack have come to an understanding. They both love each other. I'm glad Raegan is no longer scared of him.
2. The truth is... I'm starting to think about Christmas present ideas. I don't know what to do this year. Does anyone have ideas? I'm completely blank! This is not good.
3. The truth is... Once I start school again Josh and I won't see each other much. He's going to be working nights at Primavera (three days a week) and will go to class the rest of the night. Bummer.
4. The truth is... Jack Jack is a brown noser (digger). He got over the chewing stage and now is totally into digging. It doesn't bode well for our garden.
5. The truth is... I have a lot of crafts I need to finish up. However, I really don't want to at the same time. Is that a bad thing? (Hey! I finally finished my ABC blocks.)
