Picking flowers

Tonight, Daddy had volleyball practice so we went with him to play at the park while he played volleyball.  I had a ton of fun.  I got to pick flowers with Brooke.  We also played at the park together.  I really like her.  Mommy had to look it up on the interwebs to be sure of how it worked, but Mommy told me that Brooke is my 2nd cousin (the children of 1st cousins are 2nd cousins and Brooke’s mommy and my mommy are 1st cousins.)

We went to the Creative Play place again today.  It was a blast.  Then, we got to play at Tree-mendous park afterward.  It was a very fun morning with my friends!

Sorry, no comparison shots this time.  When Mommy was pregnant with me at 29 w they had just moved into the new house and were super busy with painting and whatnot.  The picture with the stroller is 27+w the other one is about 28+ weeks.

Cootie!

Here I am all snuggled up with the desk chair and a blanket watching Dora at GaGa & Papa’s house.

Here I am playing with my new cootie game.  We each built a cootie.  It’s a fun game, I really liked it.

Mommy thought it was funny how both of these pictures were taken off of GaGa’s digital camera.  There were also some pictures on there of Mommy and Daddy when she was pregnant with me.  Mommy said she’s surprised there aren’t wedding pictures on there still.  Mommy thought it was kinda neat how I’m kind of in the same place, only about 3 years older.

Cooking with GaGa

Mommy and I came to GaGa & Papa’s house on Tuesday.  I got to hang out with one of the coolest people ever, Mommy’s friend Michael.  Mommy got her hair cut and colored and we did a little shopping.  Then, on Wednesday, Mommy left and I got to stay with GaGa & Papa until Sunday.  I missed Mommy and Daddy but had a great time going to parks, jumping on the trampoline, hanging out with Great Grandpa Jack and baking cookies.

Last day of school

Today was my last day of pre pre-school.  We took a picture of our whole class.  My teacher is going to have a baby too.  Mommy said that almost half of the staff is pregnant.

After class, I got to go with Mommy to another doctor appointment.  This time she got to drink some orange stuff and get poked with a needle afterward.  I was really upset when I didn’t get to drink any of the orange stuff.  Mommy really wanted to give it to me, but they had someone watching her (to make sure that she drank it and didn’t give it to me.)

Raking the yard

Today we raked some of our yard.  It sure is hard work.  Here is Daddy taking a socialization break to talk with Phil (cool), Janet & (baby) Mark.

I’m still working hard, even though Daddy is taking a break.

Mark even got in on the work.  You have to start them early (that’s what Phil & Janet said!)

Another fun night with the Larsons

IMG_8928IMG_8929

We had the Larson family over for dinner tonight.  It was a perfect night for hanging out outside.  I love to spend time with my friend (baby) Mark.  He’s going to be 1 year old soon.  Mommy and Daddy are so happy to spend time with their Godson and be involved with his family.  It’s always a good time when we are together.

After dinner, we took the buggypod out for a test drive.  Mommy was pleasantly surprised at how well it handled with two kids in it and is excited to use it when Baby Sprout comes.  Mark also seemed to enjoy the ride.

What a NICE day.

Today was such a beautiful day we had to make a trip to Sibley Park.  I like to call it the park with the animals.  It’s my favorite!  My capri pants for summer haven’t quite reached capri length yet on me, they just kind of look like short pants, ahahhaa!

Mommy rode the Chicken.  She almost couldn’t fit on it, baby sprout takes up a lot of room.

I also wanted to feed the goats, and wasn’t even afraid to do so.  It was fun!

Mommy Blog: The new and improved family room project.

We finished our basement about 1.5 years ago and have been slowly re-decorating the rooms to bring them up to where we want them to be.  The family room was the final room in this project.  It previously held furniture that was purchased when I graduated from college in 2002.  The furniture was not exactly family friendly (all glass/metal and sharp.)

The clock project was a fun one.  I enjoyed finding eclectic picture frames and picking out pictures to put in them.  I didn’t enjoy building the clock mechanism. 

IMG_8920IMG_8921IMG_8922

I have a “make panoramic” picture feature in my photo shop program, I just never bothered to learn how to  use it.  Here’s the best I can do for you.

Thanks to my mom for all of her help picking things out and helping with the grunt work.

Dinner with the Larsons

Tonight, we all went out for dinner with the Larson family.  Mommy was excited to take them for a ride in our new van (they’re anti-van) so we all piled in and went down the road.  I love to hang out with Phil (cool), Janet & (baby) Mark!  We may not have convinced them to run out and buy a mini-van, but we sure tried!!!

3-d ultrasound

Today, we had Mommy’s 3-d ultrasound.  It was really neat to see baby Sprout up on the screen.  Jon @ Enlightened 4d Imaging was great and very knowledgeable.  Here are some new pictures of my baby BROTHER!

Our trip to the fire station

Today, we went on a little field trip to the fire station for MOMS Club.  It was soooo neat.  I even got to watch a real fire fighter slide down the pole.  It was definitely Mommy’s favorite part too.

Here I am holding one of the nozzles they attach to the hose.  It weighed almost as much as I do.

Here I am riding and driving the fire truck.  It was really big.

Here are some of us with Firefighter Bubba (Chris.)

IMG_8885IMG_8887

Mommy and I thought it was the neatest thing to see the man come down from upstairs on the pole.  I even got to give it a try!

There sure are a lot of buttons to push on one of these fancy trucks.
