Surprise!!

Ok, some of you I'm sure know but for those of you who don't, Mike and I are expecting baby #2. My due date is May 30th. We are all so excited. At first it almost didn't seem real. I wasn't sick, or nauseated. I did get hot flashes and food didn't taste good at all but I just thought my body was being weird. This pregnancy has been totally different than when I was preggo with Kaiden. It did feel real when we went to our first doctors appt on Nov. 5th. We heard the heart beat and they also did this ulta sound.
We found out on Sept. 23rd. It was actually crazy because that morning Kaiden was crying and he kept saying I want my baby sister. I told him he didn't have one but he had brother Koda. (That's our dog) He had also told me a few weeks before that, that he wanted his baby sister. Well that night was when I found out I was pregnant.
If you ask him what mommy is having he will tell you a baby sister. But he also tells me, mom you not sick, you not pregnant. I don't think he quite understands yet. I also went to the toy store and bought him a doll and of course he had to have a pink stroller. I thought this would help him get ready for the baby. Well, it back fired. I asked him the other day were his doll was and he said, "I hate it, I threw it in the garbage." Sure enough, that is what he did. I had to pull it out. He still doesn't have anything to do with it but he pushes his toys almost everyday in the stroller.
I'm excited to see what he does when the baby arrives. I know he will be a great BIG brother.

Happy Halloween

Kaiden carving his pumpkin. The first thing he did when he pulled out some seeds was put it in his mouth.


He wanted to carve a scary one!

Grammy and Grandpa Jim came to stay with us for Halloween.

Goofy kids!

Kaiden tells grammy she is a princess so she dressed up as one for Halloween.

I made mummy dogs for the kids and chili for us.

Getting ready to go trick or treating. They were so excited!!

Our cute cowboy!



Grandma Cindy taking Kaiden trick or treating

We had a fun Halloween. This was the first year we didn't make it to the pumpkin patch. Either Mike was out of town, it was to cold or it was snowing. My mom took Kaiden to a farmers market and she let him pick out a pumpkin.
Also, grammy and gramdpa Jim came out to stay with us. They've never been out here during Halloween. They helped Kaiden make some sugar cookies and they decorated them. Grammy and Kaiden carved a happy pumkin since he had already made a scary one. Grandpa Jim went with us trick or treating and grammy stayed back since it was cold and handed out candy.
Kaiden had so much fun with his friends. He loved going to all the houses for candy. It was so fun to see him so excited!!

Our 6th Anniversary

For our 6th Anniversary, Mike booked us a Bahama Cruise. We went with some friends and had so much fun. I don't think I have laughed so hard in a long time.
Our first stop was Nassau. It was beautiful. White sandy beaches and clear blue water.

We swam with the sting rays there and I was so nerves. It took me awhile to hold it. I was telling Jason to hurry and take the picture so I could let go.

My hot husband doing what he loves to do!

After we got done with the sting rays we went and got ready and toured the island. It is so beautiful. We went to all the different shops.

This is what happens at 4:30 in the morning when you've been having to much fun. We ordered room service and ate the whole thing. We had to be up at 7:30 the next morning.

Coco Cay was the next stop. It is Royal Caribbean's private island. They had a huge BBQ for us and we did a little shopping. It was so hot. It was 95 degrees with 95% humidity.

Everyone was swimming in the ocean and people were running out saying they got stung by a jelly fish. I got out and when I turned around Mike and Jason were playing with the jelly fish. Mike told me to get back in the water that they wouldn't bug me but guess what? I got stung right on the side of my tata's. It felt like a bee sting and burned. Then he told me to touch one and it felt like raw chicken. They're not my favorite.

Every night when we came back to our room, the guy that cleaned it surprised us with a animal. I thought this monkey was the cutest!

Key West was our last stop. We took a boat out to a island and kayaked around it. It scared me at first being in the ocean but it was fun. We seen a 3 foot shark, crabs and all different sorts of fish.

On the ride back to the Cruise ship, we seen a dolphin. I was so excited. You can barely see the tip of its fin. I got my camera out a little to late.
We toured Key West a little bit and ate at Sloppy Joes. It was amazing. We had sloppy joe nacho's and they were the best. I also lost my camera there but luckily we found it.

Megan and I getting ready to dance. The boys wouldn't dance with us so we danced by ourselves. We thought we were the best dancers!


Mike and Jason being funny!

This was at our hotel in Miami.

We seen our first drag queen show on South Beach. That was interesting. The people were throwing $20 bills at him. CRAZY!!

This was at a bar/resturant on South Beach. It was outside and they had a swimming pool with boards on top so people could dance on them or in the water. They also had a huge stage with a DJ playing. It was a fun place.
Kaiden and my in-laws bought us some pretty flowers and made a cute sign for us when we got home. It was so nice of them and it's nice to know that when we leave we don't have to worry because he is in such good hands!
I am so greatful that I have such a amazing husband. He always loves to surprise me. Especially when he is bored at work!! He is so sweet and always makes me smile ;0) He is so positive and looks at all the good things in life. He is a wonderful dad and works so hard so I can stay home with Kaiden. And also do all the fun things we do.
Love you Babe!!

Three year old pictures











I finally got Kaidens three year old pictures done. Usually I am about 6 months late. I had Mindy's neighbor Jane do them for me and she did an amazing job. She was really good with him and very patient. Her prices were great to. If anyone would like her number, email me and I will give it to you.

Our Family outing to Silver Lake

We wanted to do something fun with Kaiden today so Mike suggested we go here. It is so pretty. We fished, hiked and walked around the board walk that goes around the lake.


The ducks thought Kaiden was going to feed them.

Mike and Kaiden fishing. No luck, they didn't catch any fish.


Kaiden and I hiking up the hill. We heard Mike having a conversation with someone and when we turned around he was talking to the squirrels. They were drinking his Pepsi!

Rough day having fun!
