Showering Reese

This weekend my friends came to my parent's house to shower Reese with love and gifts! We had a great time chatting, eating, playing games and laughing.

I owe my mom a HUMONGOUS thank you for all of the hard work she put into making this shower perfect. She really went the extra mile. 

Thank you to Ami for all of the "extras" and for running the show! Thanks to Mary for all of the great pictures & the games. Much thanks to Nicole for making the cutest cupcakes! 

This shower wouldn't have been possible without all of you!

Labor Day

It's been a nice Labor Day weekend around here! We went out to lunch, did a little shopping, had a couple different friends visit, got some ice cream and were lazy for an entire day! How great to have an extra day off. It definitely makes me miss my old work schedule... work 2-3 days a week have a 3 day weekend each week.

Brian & Ami were kind enough to stop on by Sunday evening for an impromptu playdate. Good times!

Ami had the BRILLIANT idea of cutting watermelon into shapes. Let me tell you, heart & star shape watermelon tastes SOOO much better than regular watermelon.

The kids admired the desert from our newly lowered back wall

Future husband and wife had a moment to themselves

SUPER ADORABLE!!

Oh how I hope they do get married... can you imagine how great the wedding slide show will be??

We roasted marshmallows.

Yes, I know this picture is crappy, but I didn't want it to look like we were roasting marshmallows in broad daylight.

We did a little painting

The kids played in Jaxon's bed. Seriously hilarious! I hope that Ami posts the history of kids in one crib.

We did make them get out, but I wondered if we had left them in there if they'd fallen asleep? Yeah. We didn't think so either.

And don't fear... we have chosen a BIG BOY bed for Jaxon and will order it by the end of this week!

Stroller Building Saturday Night?

Where did our counter dancing days go?

We used to be fun.

We used to start our Friday, Saturday, sometimes even Wednesday or Thursday nights at 9:00 pm or later.

Now we are all Moms or very soon-to-be Moms. So a big night out really means a night in with BJs takeout and no kids.

And can I tell you? It WAS fun! We laughed, I almost peed my pants a few times.

We searched the Pinteresting website (yeah, still not sure what it is, but I am assured it is fun.) We even put together Mary's stroller and carseat.

All that productiveness and I was still home and in bed before 11:00 pm!

Yeah. We are THAT cool.

Mary (she really ate a lot! :) ), Sarah & Ami

Good Friends


Baby Bumps... BFFs or future husband and wife? We'll know tomorrow!


Non-existent bellys

"Really, this can't be too complicated"

Snap! Clac! Ruido! According to the manual, if we heard these sounds we were successful.

Tomorrow is the BIG ANATOMICAL ULTRASOUND Day (Technical term) In Layman's terms... penis or vajayjay.

Many of you have voted and it is a landslide for a girl! My own personal opinion... Girl.

I had a feeling Jax would be a boy and he is, so I think Mother's intuition may play part. We'll know for sure tomorrow! I can't wait!

Not sure how couples can go the entire pregnancy without knowing. Also not sure how couples can go in for a planned C-section. I'm on pins and needles just for an ultrasound, can't imagine the anticipation of knowing for certain that tomorrow I will have a new baby!
