A Bittersweet Thursday...

Well Thursday was my last day watching my nephew Peyton every week so I can get ready for Blake's arrival and just in case he comes early or something. I have enjoyed all my Thursday's a ton!!! Peyton and I have tons of fun together so I am definatly going to miss the little guy, he is really starting to come into his personality and repeats EVERYTHING you say:) So you really have to be careful at moments what you say! He talks like crazy for his age...it is amazing:)!! So I am sad but also excited because it means my little boy is about to arrive:)!! But we still will have a few more days of fun, they will just be on Wednesdays, but once Blake and I get in a routine, Peyton, Blake, & I will have lots of fun on Thursdays together & we will have to have Eli over too:)!! I am super excited for all the fun memories to come with my son and his cousins, those boys are going to have a blast together:)!!! So Thursday we had a fun filled day doing all the things Peyton loves to do when he comes over, including getting to go to the river with Uncle Bob on his lunch:) Peyton LOVES the Linkem's chickens and looking at the eggs they lay, so I let him get one and he absoluetly thought is was so cool...he loved his egg:)
Admiring the egg. Seeing how much he loves the chickens is making me want to have some Chickens too, so I told Bob that next year we should get chicken's because I think it would be great for Blake and something fun for the nephews when they come to hang out too:)!! Not too mention super healthy for us too:)
Playing w/ Zoe!! Zoe loves having him over because he will kick her the ball. She knows that I will not because once you throw it she will never leave you alone!!
Crossing the creek to head to the river with Uncle Bob:)!!!!

He has so much fun and tries to find the biggest rock he can to throw!!
Koco wanted a little cool down. She has become a brave little girl since we go out there so often. I was shocked she went in, Bob was with her but I was still shocked. She did not want to get out of it either and then of course all I could think about was how dirty she was going to be running through the sand all wet!! But Bob quickly reminds me its just sand and it washes off;) She loves it:)!
Swimming in the neighbors pool, well more like floating. They had about 10 noodles so all we did was go round and round collecting all the noddles we could hold:) It was fun, thank goodness they have a heater in there because the weather only just started getting warm so it was nice to not have super cold water!!!

The day was wonderful, we even shared a milkshake and fries from Frugals:)!! Something I normally do not stop for...but thought it would be fun!! Carmen came over too as she will watching Peyton on Thursdays, so he had tons of fun with his Auntie Carmen as well:) We look forward to the many more memories we get to create with Blake, Peyton, and Eli(who will be arriving anyday:)!!!)in the years to come:)!! They are all going to be such good friends, I can not wait:)!!!

Maternity Pics

My dear friend Danielle took some Maternity pictures of us and I absoluetly LOVE them!!! She is an amazing photographer and needs to start a side Business...not that she has the time right know with work, planning a wedding, and taking care of her horses but she would be booked solid if she did:)!! We are so thankful she took them for us and I can not wait to do something fun for Bob for Father's Day with them:)!!!

Sleep...

So this last week has been a bit lacking in the sleep department. It is definatly getting harder to get my full 8-9 hours!! I do not take naps well during the day so my sleep at night is HUGE for me, I love it!!! I have always gone to bed early and got up a little early. Well after this week, I am willing to try and sleep whenever my body wants me too, because lately Blake does not want me to sleep at night and I am just not comfortable. It is also time for me to get a pedicure because touching my toes is just not fun and Bob is starting to laugh when I put on my shoes:) So with these final 30 some odd days I am getting really excited and ready for Blake's arrival!!! So maybe today is a good day for a nap in the sunshine...since we are suppose to get a nice day...FIANLLY!!! I am so excited, I am spending all my day outside...so I better get started on cleaning the inside of the house before the sun really comes out:)!! Enjoy the beautiful weekend:)!!!!

Baby Jogger:)!!!

Well our stroller finally arrived!!!! It was one of the first things we purchased and of course ended up being on back order! We first ordered it from Merry-Go-Round up in Bellevue because we went up there to test them out and we were deciding between the City Elite or the Summit XC. So we ordered it thinking we would receive it in 4 weeks and after the 4 weeks passed they never called. Well they told me I would not get it till June, I was like ummm...were you going to call and let me know. He goes well No but I guess I should have!!! So I asked for my money back and we ordered it from Sugarbabies in Sumner:)!!! They carry All BabyJogger styles and Bob Strollers:) They have the Bob, City Mini, and City Select at the store to look at and test out:) So I was happy to order from someone I knew was going to give us good customer service and keep me updated on the status of it. So I was very glad we stayed local and do not really recommend Merry-Go-Round!

We took a lot of time deciding our stroller, it was a big purchase and Bob was even more into it then I thought. We wanted something that I would use a lot on the Orting trail jogging and also be good for just going to the mall or something. So he wanted 12" tires and only one tire in the front, he was just excited as I was about it so it was lots of fun:) Another big factor in the Baby Jogger brand is how easy it is to fold and put in the car, you just pull a strap and it folds in half!!! IT is amazing!!! I love it!!! Here are a few pics...

Grandpa's 80th Birthday!!!

It was a wonderful day to have his party, the weather was perfect and we had a great showing! I think my Grandpa looks great for 80!!! He is doing amazing:) It was good to see him since we do not get too much and share in his special day:)!! Here are a few pictures of the day...

Maternity Pics:)

Bob really wanted to have some pictures during this time and I was a little unsure but glad that we got them done:) We are also going to have my really good friend Danielle take some too:)! Sarah Fuccillo did them and we had a blast taking them, it was sprinkling pretty much the whole time but we timed it perfect before the big rain hit!! She did a great job and I am excited to start making my Baby Scrapbook:)



So these are just a few...it was taking too long to upload today for some reason, I think the picture sizes are a little bigger:)

6 weeks to Go!!!

Well 6 weeks to go and I am definatly getting ready for Blake to arrive:)!! His room is almost finished:)!! We wanted it done by June 1st and everything is ready, just waiting for the bedding from Etsy and the Rocker to arrive:)Then it is finished and I will post pictures:)!!! I have his bag ready for the hospital and will be getting mine ready too:) Bob & I have talked about what we will do if he decides to come when Dad is adjusting patients and have it all planned out!! It is crazy to think he will be here so soon, we are definatly excited. The dogs for sure know something is going on in his room and Koco will have a bed in there too I just keep forgetting to buy it on one of my many trips to target!!I definatly have to make lists of things to do or else I will forget!!! The last trimester I have been forgetful!! And as of yesterday June 2, 30 more days and my nephew Eli will be here!!!! We are so excited for Bryan & Jess and to meet our new nephew:)!!!

Some special events I did not get a chance to post:

We are so very beyond blessed to have her!! She has been with Bob for 6 years in August:)!!! We hope to have her for another 10+!! So it was nice to celebrate her on her special day!!!
