Awesome Mom!

We had a crazy fun weekend! All those pictures below, the blog posts, and Picassa are all kept up to date by Katie. She's an amazing mom and wife - we are all so grateful!!!!

A Family Picture.

Here is one last family picture before Small Fry arrives. It has been awesome being a family of three but I am anxiously waiting to see what life is like as a family of four! It won't be long now!

What a great weekend!



We had a wonderful and fun filled weekend! We were also able to get lots done around the house. I feel great! First off, we opened the pool and Christian has been working hard on it to try and have it up and going before Small Fry arrives. He also finished the kitchen! It looks beautiful! Now, we get to decorate it a bit more. We have some really neat ideas for that. I was able to get some new flowers and actually plant them too. Hunter really likes them because they are yellow (his favorite color) and purple. Next, we spent lots of time with Nana next door and Hunter just loves being over there especially since he gets to help her water flowers with the hose. That is super fun for him! We are slowly getting him used to be over there without us and it is working out great! We also got a new climber for him to go in the backyard along with a used Power Wheels Jeep. Both make him smile great big! So, it has been a very busy and productive holiday weekend.

Getting Bigger!

We had my cousin and her family over on Saturday and I must say that Ryan sure is getting big! He is such a cutie! It was wonderful to visit and have dinner with them. I loved being able to hold Ryan and to have him fall asleep on me. Oh, it makes me want my little man to be here so much more! I can hardly wait! Come on June!!!

Fun! Fun! Fun!




With all the recents events happening Hunter needed to have a super fun day. That happened on Thursday. It was a beautiful day outside and Hunter and I decided to venture out to the local petting zoo. He loves that place! He has so much fun petting all the rabbits, horses, sheep and goats. He also really enjoys playing by the duck and turtle pond. He points out all the yellow and orange fish to me as well as the turtles and ducks. There are dandelions all throughout the zoo and he is in heaven picking them all. Of course, we need to bring all his "yellow flowers" home to put in water. He will ask for them again once he gets up from his nap. He is a smart kid. After his nap I decided to get out the sprinkler. He had a blast running back and forth over and over! It was really a sight to see. His smile was HUGE!!! I am so happy that I was able to give him a day of fun! Seeing him happy made my day. I love my little guy so much!

Still Cooking.

I had yet another OB appt today and the little boy is still happily baking away! Everything checked out great with both of us! Changes are beginning to take place but it is still a guessing game as to when our little man will make his big debut! As long as he is happy and healthy he can come whenever he wants. My OB must be thinking it will be sometime soon since she made sure I had her personal cell number and told me to call if my water breaks or any fluids begin to leak (gross, I know) or I have contractions that are able to be timed for more than 10 minutes. Well, if that is the case I guess I should be calling her daily since I always have contractions that can be timed for longer than 10 minutes! We are not worried. It will happen when it happens. We are just more concerned with dealing with Hunter's new condition and how that is changing all of our lifestyles. So, I will update on our second little guy next Friday after my appt.

Wonderful Weather!

Despite all the stress and anxiety in our house latey there is one thing that is wonderful - the weather! It has been gorgeous the last couple of days! We have been able to spend so much time outdoors enjoying the 80 plus degree temps! I love it! We will be loving life outside even more soon. We are buying an 8 in 1 climber from one my friends and we are planning on putting it in the yard with the pool. This way we will be able to sit by the pool or BBQ while Hunter plays. It will be perfect! Of course, we know Hunter will not be able to play on his climber unattended since he will be right by the pool but that is ok with us. We are just excited to be getting a climber for him. He is going to love it! This way he will also have something to do that is new and exciting when his brother arrives! So, woo hoo for climbers and woo hoo for wonderful weather!!!
