April Fools
It was one year ago today that my sister, my mom and I decided to play an April Fools joke on my family. My whole family was visiting, so we had a house full of people! Sleeping on blow-up mattresses or my boy's castle beds were my younger brother and his wife, my older brother, my sister, her husband, and their 2 year old, and my parents (the picture of the gang is below). It was great to have everyone together, but not-so-fun at the same time because each of the kids ended up getting the stomach virus and throwing up for several days (in fact Ethan ended up in the ER). Anyways, my sister, mom and I decided to play an April Fools Day joke on all the guys. We came up with the scheme to announce that we were all pregnant...in order of believability. My sister went first, telling everyone that she had exciting news that she was expecting again, much to her husband's surprise. Then I said I had some news as well, and that I was pregnant also. Then, to obviously make it a joke, my mother said she was pregnant. Then we followed that with "April Fools". Funny part is, the joke was on us. Shortly after (several weeks), my sister found out she was pregnant. Of course several months later I became pregnant, and now we are just waiting for my mom's announcement....ha! I thought it would be fitting if I delivered my baby on the 1-year anniversary of our announcement, but doesn't look like that is going to happen:-)

Great story! Love the pictures. I could hardly tell it was your mom she looks so young.
I forgot that was one year ago today!! That is funny cause I was ACTUALLY pregnant when we made that announcement!!! The look on Kyle's face was priceless. Those kids were troopers...that was actually rotovirus that they all were sick with. Yucko.
Like Kerry, I forgot that it was a year ago that we were all together. And that we told the "joke" on April Fool's Day. Thanks for the recounting, Jewels.
