Will's Birthday Party- Jan 2012

Baby # 2

In April we announced the pregnancy of baby # 2.

The baby is due Oct. 3 but because I have to have a C-section I will most likely be induced the week before (in September).

As you can see the ultrasound was taken at my 11 week mark...over 2 months ago! It's killing me because with Kohen we got lucky enough to have an ultrasound almost every time AND they were the 3D/4D ones. 

As much as I love staring at this ultrasound of my sweet baby, I do prefer the other kind (and more of them). With Kohen you could see he had my chubby cheeks (I swear) by 9 weeks. 

Luckily I have less than a week left before they FINALLY let me have another ultrasound and we get to find out what this little baby is.

Big Brother's Rock

 We sure think this big brother will at least. 

He has noticed babies for quite a while now and is so cute when he sees them. He usually will "aww" over them, give them a hug, (or if it is on TV or a picture just say "hi") and then possibly try to climb all over their car seat. He loves to give the baby in Mommy's tummy kisses and often tries to share a snack or toy with it as well. 

I just love his hair. It was getting pretty long at this point and sadly I cut it right shortly after, but I love those curls.

And who wouldn't love these "CHEESE-Y" smiles :)

Ordinary no, I really don’t think so
Not a love this true
Common destiny
We were meant to be
Me and you

Like a perfect scene from a movie screen
We’re a dream come true
Suited perfectly for eternity
Me and you

Every day, I need you even more
And the night time too
There’s no way
I could ever let you go
Even if I wanted to

Every day I live
I try my best to give
All I have to you
I thank the stars above
That we share this love me and you

Every day, I need you even more
And the night time too
There’s no way
I could ever let you go
Even if I wanted to

Ordinary no, I really don’t think so
Just a precious few
Ever make it last
Get as lucky as
Me and you

3 years ago I married this man. But I knew this man was the one for me long before that.

I fell in love with this man's big heart and his cheesy charm. :)

I knew he was hard working and full of faith but marriage has a way of bringing out what you really are and this man has only proven better in my book.

This man, despite how very hard he works and exhausted he is, still puts God first.

He is obsessed with and loves his son (and future children).

And for some reason this man seems to think I'm pretty great and loves me unconditionally. 

He is my biggest supporter, fan and best friend. 

I feel so lucky to have married this man.

Happy Anniversary Hun!

Movie Time

Kohen's movie experiences have been as followed:

-3 months: went with my family to the movies. Kohen had a blow out (I was wearing white capris and forgot a change of clothes for him)
-5 months: went to the movies again with my family. Kohen wasn't interested (don't blame him) So we spent the whole movie playing on the car arcade game in the hall. He loved that at least!

-18 months: We decided to try out the dollar theater for a family activity. Truthfully Kohen did way better than I did. He was totally content with some good n plentys. I however am just too dang ansy to sit for a movie anymore. I get bored and restless. It didn't help that it was Alvin and the Chipmunks. But luckily Kohen had fun so it was a success!

Ignore this special picture of me. I am convinced Stuart doesn't even look at the camera screen after when I ask him if it turned out ok. But since we only had two whopping pictures up it goes.

Gloom gloom go away

How cute are they all matching?!
Kohen (who can say hat) kept calling his hat "dad"
I think because he knew he was wearing one just like Dad.

The weather has been kind of gloomy a lot it seems like and so when we saw the sun was out we hurried and packed a picnic lunch/dinner and headed out as soon as Kohen woke up from his nap. Ironically, the sky became gloomy, the air was smoky and the wind picked up right as we stepped out of the car. But luckily we all happened to have brought jackets and so we bundled up and had our picnic anyways. Kohen kept us running like crazy and had so much fun. (Thus the hideous picture of me...I had just ran forever up and down a hill with little heavy load on me).

Valentine's Day

Valentine's day was low key but here is what we had for dinner/dessert.

Dessert was one of our favorite desserts- heart shaped brownies with whipped topping and strawberries

I had planned on making chicken cordon bleu but last minute saw I didn't have what I needed so
I made potatoes that were heart shaped
