7 months big...

Time is flying by! Some days I'm ready and others I'm not!!

Road trip with K&B

Since we didn't get to go to CO with K&B, we decided to do a road trip. We went to Brown County State Park in IN, gambled a bit at the French Lick Casino, stopped at the Garden of the Gods in the Shawnee National Forest, saw Superman in Metropolis, IL, drove a wine trail and came home by Route 66.

I can fix it, he says...

One of J's few chores is to vacuum. Instead of being a quick clean up, it ends up being a sad moment. Here are the pieces to the Wii sensor bar, apparently it got eaten by the vacuum.


He also broke one of the games. He said he could fix the cord, but I said no. Instead I went out and got a wireless sensor bar, so we can avoid this in the future.

Baby Shower #1

My first baby shower! Thanks to Aunt K and M for hosting and throwing the party.

Uncle B's birthday picnic.

For Uncle B's 60th bday, Aunt K planned a picnic. It was nice and sunny but just a bit hot. There was great food and an overall great time.



Here are the boys checking out the visitors we had hiding out in the shelter. Bats!


Check out Uncle B's new boat.

Birthday Song...

Check out R signing at his own birthday party. Does this song tell you how old he is?


It also takes everything he's got to blow out the candles.

I love this picture! That's super cute Baby H.

Check it out, its the ZX2!

After getting the new car, the ZX2 sat out on the lot for a few weeks and then it disappeared. I found it on the dealership website and look how much its going for?!

The crib is done!

A few weeks ago we bought the crib. Now its finally here and J gets to put it together. Of course he can't do it without some help.

Almost 6 months big...

Fun weekend with friends.

Our friend M&J and their Baby L came to visit. We went to the outlet mall, the water park, played Mario Party and ate lots of food. There were no leftovers in the fridge after M was here.

July 4th

We went to DM to visit the new baby and the family. Baby H is super cute. He also put on a lovely fountain display of formula from the nose and mouth. J are you ready for this? We saw fireworks and ate lots of food.

5 months big...

It's a GIRL!!!

Today was our ultrasound to see the gender of the baby. Say hello to our little GIRL!! The technician is 90% sure its a girl, but J is still holding on to the 10% that it could be a boy. This little girl is going to wear us out. She was constantly moving while we were checking her out, it was hard for the tech to see the privates. We also saw her stretch her legs, where she then stepped on my bladder, no wonder I have to go so often now! Can't wait to meet you little girl!!

We have a new Nephew!

J's twin bro had a new son, H, well his wife N did all the hard work. He weighed in at 7lbs 7oz. We're going to see him in a week. Isn't he cute?

Visitors

Also this weekend, BPLM came to visit before they move 8 hours away from us. We went to see the bean, play in the water, took a ride on the free trolley, and walked Navy Pier. There was also a stop at the American Girl store to make one little girl happy.

This past weekend we attended the wedding of J's good friend T. T was an usher at our wedding and we've been waiting a long time for them to finally tie the knot. Congrats to T&D.



In between the ceremony and reception, we hung out with this cutie pie, L.

The nursery walls are done!

Here's the room! Doesn't it look great! Good job J!! Now we need some baby furniture.

Father's Day

For this year's Father's Day, we went downtown to Navy Pier. My Dad's school had their graduation, so while he was being put to sleep there, J, my Mom and myself went shopping. After graduation, we grabbed a quick lunch and then went to see Cirque de Shanghai (a chinese acrobatic show). Then we walked around Navy Pier and went to Chinatown for dinner. I was pretty tired by the end of that day.

Baby Names

So today I was telling J what Jessica Alba named her baby girl, Honor, and he didn't really like it. So I said what about Coco or Apple? Or Banana or Orange? Then a pizza hut commercial came on and I said, I know!! If we have a boy we name it Pizza and if we have a girl we name it Pasta!!! What could be more perfect! J loves pizza and I love pasta!! He didn't go for the idea so back to the drawing board for us. :D

Visitor at work...

While I was busy working, a visitor came by my window. I had heard it existed but never got to see it, well here it is:
