Great Month of June!

June has been a busy and exciting month for our family! My friends here in Arkansas threw me a great shower to celebrate the soon addition to our family! We then had Father's Day! Brendon and I got Anthony a Charcoal grill! Dinners are much better for me these days!! Not to mention Anthony is a great grill master!






Anthony and I had an early Birthday Party for Brendon this year. His birthday is July 16th but I figured the new baby and a party would not go well! Brendon wanted a Thomas themed party! I made little thomas trains that the kids colored and decorated to take home! The cake was a lot of fun to make as well! I was so glad we did a party for him he was so happy to have all his friends celebrate with him! Not to mention he loves cake!

Almost There!

5 weeks left and we will have our little girl!! I had a doctor appointment today and everything is moving along. The doctor and nurses still think she might be a little early. I am not holding my breath! I am however trying to get ready just in case! I have actually decided I am going to try to do this one all natural! I have a great friend who will be my "coach"! I sure hope I have the will power and strength to do this! I guess I will find out!

I can't wait for the day...

I can't wait for the day I can say "yes Brendon is potty trained!" I am roughly 7 weeks away from having our baby and Brendon has decided that peeing in his pants is okay! I know he can tell when he needs to go! He will not give up on any playing time until it is almost to late. He stops himself from completely peeing threw everything, but gets his underwear wet. I don't have much time to get this under control! Treats and incentives no longer working! How do you get a two year old to want to stop playing and go potty before it is to late!

"I don't want a baby anymore!""

Brendon has had some pretty interesting views of things lately!
Every time I wear mascara. Brendon will get really close to my face examine it for a minute and ask if it is chocolate! At first I thought I had chocolate on my face somewhere. I realized he was pointing to my eye and not my face! I would love to know where and how he came up with that idea!
Monday I had my monthly Doctor appointment and thought I would just take Brendon with me.It is usually a short visit and he loves to hear the babies heart. Unfortunately it was not a short process like usual. We waited for over an hour to be called back and then waited in the room for another 40 minutes. Brendon was fabulous the whole time. He never once complained or asked to leave! I give all the credit to the portable DVD player!!
When we arrived home Brendon walked in the door took a deep breath and told me he did not want anymore babies! I replied "just baby Arianna right?" He quickly responded with "no I don't want a baby anymore!" Later that day we were at Anthony's softball game and a good friend asked Brendon if he was excited for a baby sister. He informed her he was no longer having a baby and that he did not want one anymore! I am in for a nice treat if a 2 hour doctor appointments was to much time to put towards the new baby! This should be fun!

Home Sweet Home

We have lived in Arkansas for almost 3 years! Last summer we were blessed to find and purchase a home! Now that it has been a year I am finally posting pictures! Sorry to all of you who have been waiting to see these!

I'm giving in!!

Everyone that knows me knows that I hate documenting my pregnant belly. We now live away from all of our family and most family member have never seen me pregnant. I have decided to stop holding out and let the family and friends see the belly! This is me at 6 months!

Easter

We had a great Easter this year! First Grandma Hoffman and Aunt Lauren came into town for a long weekend. Brendon took full advantage of having two more playmates! We had the great opportunity to go on two Easter Egg Hunts. Brendon loved them both! He filled his basket with eggs and then opened each egg to see what was inside. Coloring eggs became a favorite very quickly too! Brendon loved putting them into the different colors and watching them change. He carried the eggs very carefully the rest of the morning. When Easter came around the Easter Bunny treated us all very well! It was a wonderful Easter with friends and Family!
