Happy Father's Day!

This father's day, all Ren wanted was a new Bruder. If you don't know what the heck that is, just ask Ren. It is the coolest sandbox tractor toy you can get because its literally 1:16 the actual size of a real tractor. Ren... I mean...Gavin already has 3. So I said Ren could order a new one for himself for Fathers day. That way when I'm in Vegas next week, him and Gavin will be able to play with it while I'm gone. Ren ordered 3 new ones. I really couldn't tell whose face was happier between the two boys, Ren or Gavin when the boxes came. Gavin about fell over he was so excited to see a new Bruder come out of that box. Ren was the same. Now every time Ren gets a box delivered for a new job (which is at least 3-5 times a week) Gavin automatically thinks its a new Bruder. We also had a great dinner at Gammy and Papa's house. We ordered a Texas donut from Peterson's donut that weighed 3 1/2 pounds. As Gavin would say... "Naum Naum!"

The Fair...and my birthday!

Saturday the 18th was my birthday, and what better way to celebrate than eating a ton of fried delicious food at the fair? There were 6 of us total that went all together, and I think we ate probably 20 different things between all of us sharing each others stuff. The fried Klondike bar...favorite I think. Gavin had a fun time running around and eating everyone's food too. It didnt take him long to learn "ok when someone has a new thing to eat, I get a bite!" Kid was on a sugar high! He ran around so much and loved looking at all the animals. He did really good (and with no nap in the day like he normally needs.) I think out of everything we saw, between all the animals and food and exhibits, his favorite thing he saw was the little CAT tracker in the barn that they used to move all the feed. (Surprise!) We could hardly keep him away from that. By 8:30 he was passed out cold on Ren's shoulder. I was totally sick that night from all the food. (but it was well worth it!)

Avery's Room all done!

Ren is such a trooper. He did Avery's room this week all by himself. (Well...I laid on the floor and told him where to position the clouds on the ceiling, but that's about the extent of my work.) I love the room! It was definitely a pain in the butt and took a lot of time, but looks great! I'm so happy that Ren is so open do doing my ideas. Now I just need to prepare everything else for her. 30 weeks today, 10 more to go. (Pray she comes a little early...thanks!)

Pregnancy Update

I have no pictures to post because we haven't been able to upload the ultrasounds onto the computer yet...busy with other things. BUT...it's been so long since I mentioned anything about this little peanut that I thought I should stop neglecting my daughter. I am 27 weeks now. She is a little dancer inside my belly. Constantly moving, I think she moves way more than Gavin...or I just recognize it more this time. She gives me HORRIBLE back pains and HORRIBLE heartburn (among other HORRIBLE things not appropriate to say on a blog that my grandpa reads...) but everything else is going just great. Gavin likes to come up to me and pat my tummy and say "baby" and I say "Gavin do you love your baby sister?" and he does his thing where he says "no" and then 2 seconds later says "haisss" (which means yes in Gavin-tron) My last ultrasound she was breech, head in my ribs and feet were moving like she was tap dancing on my bladder. Dr. Langford has no concern about that and says next time I go in she will probably be flipped. I just had my Glucose tolerance test this morning, and totally had to gag down the new flavor of lemon lime. Still nasty. Last time I was pregnant I felt like I was counting down the weeks till he came. This time, I cant ever remember how far along I am. I have NOTHING for her yet, and have like zero motivation. I do however have really good ideas about a little girl room...just need to get motivated to do it. A friend of mine is throwing me a shower in the middle of July, so I'm sure that will give me the spark I need to get stuff done. well, my next appointment is June 24th. After that one, then I start going every two weeks, and that's when the time really flies by and it feels REALLY real. Wish me luck.

WAP

This was a few weeks ago, but we have been going to the Wild Animal Park a lot lately. Its so fun just to be able to go for a few hours in a day and not have to feel like we have to stay ALL DAY. Here are some pictures from when we went with Doug and Gina. Gavin just loves the animals...and really just to be outside!

A Boy and his Dad

Gavin sure loves riding on Ren's bike. We just ordered that I-Bert bike seat that has the kid sit in front of you so they can see where your going instead of staring at the persons bum the hole time. I will have to post some pictures when we get it.
