4 weeks left

We are now down to week number 4, I have a doctors appointment tomorrow to see how things are moving along. Not feeling early at all I am sure I get to wait the whole 4 weeks :)

our bags we made during the pillar ceremony

I just got back from a fun weekend with a group of friends!! We went to a camp called "Wild Womens Weekend," and I had a great time. I learned how to braid a leather braclet and made mathching ones for the boys and for Chris, learned how to fly cast, tie dyed a shirt, made a picture frame and took a nice walk along the lake. There were many more activities that I wanted to do like, archery, riflery, knitting, and hiking, but due too being pregnant they just weren't safe things for me to do. NEXT YEAR!!

5 weeks left

We have 5 weeeks left till we finally meet this little baby girl. She is running out of room to move around so things are getting a little uncomfortable, but I am hanging in to the end!!

House Cleaning

Eli has a very bad habit of throwing his food on the floor when he is done eating and I have started making him clean it up since I am tired of doing it, and can barely bend over anyway. I got the vacumn out yesterday after he dumped his whole bag of pretzels on the floor and then ran over them with his truck, turning the carpet into a big crumbly mess!!

He is putting each piece into the hose one at a time, I finally came over and showed him that he could just use the hose to pick up the pretzels faster...

Here he is after he figured out how to use it.

Fun dressing up

Elijah was playing with Chris and Ethan yesterday and came running out of his room dressed in this ninja outfit. He was running around in this for awhile yelling "Hi-Yah," but stopped so I could take a picture.

Today I decided to try and create my own flower head band for the baby since I keep seeing them eveywhere. Elijah was my model so I could see how it was working out. He wanted to keep it on all day of course. Here is the final product.

First Day of School

Elijah was really excited about the new class

Ethan had his first day of 5th grade this morning which I can hardly believe!! He was a little nervous because he doesn't have any friends in his class this year and has a new teacher he didn't know much about, but he ended up having a good day, even after Chris played a joke on him and switched his fruit snacks with my little pony fruit snacks...ha ha ha. Ethan said his whole tabled laughed at him at snack time.

Parents have to have a little fun too :)

Baby Count Down...49 days to go

Here is my last belly shot that I will post since I don't want to scare anyone too much :) Things are going very well and we are almost to the big day. Once school starts this week and we get back to a daily schedule and routine things will move fast. We are very excited to meet our little girl.

We have discussed the name Isabella, even though I would like to have an name that starts with E. So far here are my other favorites:

Echo
Estella
Elizabeth
Ella
Eliza
Emma
Esabell

Fun at Riverfront and the MAC

On Friday we took the kids to the MAC to see the "Out of this World" costume exhibit. They were featuring costumes worn for various movies. We saw a lot of Star Trek, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and even a costume from the movie Tron. We couldn't take pictures in the exhibit, but afterwards we went out in a little area and were able to try on different outfits. Elijah was scared once he saw some of Ethan's outfits so he didn't really pose for any pictures.

After the MAC we went down to Pig Out in the Park which we haven't been to in 5 or 6 years. We ate all the good food, and desserts and rode on the Gondola ride. Here is a slide show of our evening.

Hi Mom

Elijah had fun last week playing with all the neighborhood kids and a few extra friends we were watching. These were some of the funny faces and pictures we took of him.
