Baby #3

Saturday we had an ultrasound.  The baby was perfect and it was a lot of fun to see our next child growing.  The boys came with us, they loved to see the baby on the screen.   It made it more real for all of us.

 Baby laying on their tummy.   Love that little butt already.

 Count all 5 toes on that little foot.

Beautiful profile and hand.  Half way there, we are excited to meet this little one.

Spaghetti Anyone?

Max's dinner last night was this HUGE plate of spaghetti.  He insisted on having this much, no sauce and ended up eating most of the plate.  

Baby too...

Since we told the boys we are going to have a baby Emmeric and Max love to play with babies.  So the other day when Emmeric brought the baby in the car we had to buckle the baby also.  I'm all about safety but I'm not ready to buckle in pretend babies.  It was very sweet.  They love to lay on my tummy, talk to the baby and ask questions.  They cannot wait to meet their new brother or sister.

Solomon's Baptism

 Last Sunday, we celebrated Solomon's Baptism.  It was a beautiful day and I felt extra special to be a part of it because I am his Godmother.

Me and my beautiful Godson.

Mr. & Mrs. Miller

This past Saturday I had the honor of being a bridesmaid in my great friend Janet's wedding.  It was so much fun to be a part of her and her new husband Doug's special day.  I know these two will have a life time of happiness!

 Don't they just look happy and in love?

Me & my hubby. Eddie sang two songs at their wedding and sounded AMAZING!

Rain Fun...

 The boys played for over an hour in the rain and puddles yesterday.  In the end they were soaked but had such a fun time.  

Catching the rain from the downspout in their umbrellas.  I think an umbrella is to help you not get wet.  

4-H Hall of Fame

At the 2011 State Fair my parents were inducted into the 4-H Foundation Hall of Fame.  This was quite the honor and they definitely deserve it.  I would say a big part of me is the way I am because my parents put me in 4-H.  They have done a lot to help Black Hawk County 4-H and many area youth succeed.

 Accepting their certificate.

The whole family made it to the celebration along with a lot of extended family.  We are all really proud of you Mom & Dad.

Tea for Two

The other day, Grandma Nancy, the boys and I had a tea party.  It was a lot of fun.  Everyone got to pour their own "tea" have "crumpets"  (hohos) and enjoy each other's company.  The boys were very cute sipping their tea, adding sugar, stirring and making polite conversation.  It was a great tool to teach manners on how to be respectful when someone invites you to their home.

 All he is missing is his pinky up.

mmm...so tasty!

Mini-Golf

Another thing on the list was to have a date night.  I've missed date nights, I've missed time with just Eddie.  I've missed holding hands, talking, laughing and being together.  Saturday  night we had a date.  We went out to eat then played mini-golf, rented a movie, got ice cream and snuggled.  It was the perfect date.  

 I won but we both did horribly!  It was a lot of fun though.

It was a full moon last night so I thought it would be funny if I "ate" the moon.

Jump Around...

This week the boys and I made a list of things we wanted to do with Dad when he came home. Eddie came home on Friday and Saturday we started our list.  One of the things was go to the jumping pillow.  It was so much fun, if you haven't been you must go.  The boys and the parents couldn't get enough.

 Mid-Jump, he never got off.

Being funny.

Jumping with Dad, they missed him sooooo much!
