Noah

This is so Noah. That is all!

Pinewood Derby

Nate and Seth worked so very hard on Seth's pinewood derby car. (Nate is too old now to participate). It was so special to see them work so hard together and I think the car turned out so fabulous. He won 3rd place out of 15 boys and got a nice trophy. He was so proud. Noah brought Nate's old car and won the sibling race with it.

Today we all sat outside in the sun, the boys painting and Scott studying with me helping him. Seth painted a birdhouse that he made at Lowe's for one of his scout requirements. It turned out so darling. Scott wanted some shade so he tried to open the patio umbrella and a nest fell down with some brand new little tiny birdies. We had a time putting the nest back up in there and placing the birds back in the nest. Here is a darling shot of one of the birds that Nate took with my camera. Hopefully the mama bird forgives us our folly.

One more post

I love making things for this baby girl. There are so many fun things to make for little girls! Here are pictures of my hooter hiders I made (nursing covers), a wipes case, and a darling tutu ensemble that Julianne made for her. So so fun!!!

Easter fun

Easter was a fun day. OK OK OK I will post a horrid picture of me pregnant. The puffy princess! Our Easter picture last year was lost with my camera at Sea World so I am glad we got one this year and it is a last family picture before our new addition! It was a beautiful day outside. Scott and Mike decided to wrestle for Scott (they will be learning wrestling techniques in the academy and Mike is really into wrestling). It was hilarious. Scott is really strong, he's been working out like mad. Mike is really good at wrestling techniques. Can you guess how it turned out? Scott outweighs Mike by 50 lbs but... Woo hoo hot body Scotty!!!

The Last Vacation (for awhile)

We took a quick little trip to SD for a last family vacation for awhile as Scott is going in to the academy and baby girl is coming too. We stayed at the Mission Bay Hilton, right on the bay, I have always wanted to stay there. Hotwire!!!!! They upgraded us to a bayview/poolside room. It was loads of fun. Scott brought the kayak and the bikes as we were steps from the bay and the sidewalk along the bay. The pool was great and we ate some yummy food. We went to the Cabrillo monument and the tidepools. We had a blast.

Poison Oak!

Don't know how to edit but forgot to say that Seth made contact with Poison Oak! Yuck! That is the cause of all of this mad itching and horrible rash all over! and I mean ALL over!

OK OK I'll Blog

I didn't think anyone cared if I blogged but my Dad does. So I will catch up on 3 months. We haven't done much, not many pictures. Just anticipation of the baby coming and Scott starting the SD Police Academy. Here are a few things we have done....and I will post pictures about them.

Noah played flag football. He loved it. He was really cute.

Scott had a birthday, #35 and we had a family party at our house. I made the best ice cream cake, recipe from Cindy (Stacey and Heidi's Mom).


We had a fun day at Mulligans outdoor fun park in January. We got some passes for Christmas so spent a sunny day there riding go karts, bumper boats, arcade, laser tag. I of course watched from the sidelines. The last thing the boys went on was the teacups, big mistake! The big boys were laughing going faster and faster, Noah had a terrified (sickly) look on his face and Scott and I started screaming "stop, stop, Nathen stop" Nathen didn't hear or something and Noah barfed all over. It was awful. He also barfed in the car on the way home. I knew I hated those teacups!

Julianne and I made the crib set for the baby. I made coordinating basket boxes and curtains and made the quilt all by myself. I think they turned out darling! I just love going in the baby room like 10 x a day. It is my favorite room in the house!

Seth spent about 5 different days with a friend named Dawson, behind Dawsons house in a ravine, wild area hunting for frogs and catching tadpoles. It was all fun and games until Seth broke out with a horrible rash. The first couple of days I thought he was eaten alive by mosquitos. Then it spread and puffed out and massed together and so now it is all over his body and itching like mad. We have been to the doctor and been given different prescriptions but I will be the first to say, they don't really do much. It is the most evil plant ever!!!!!!!!!!

And... I also made some fabulous bows last night. Now I just have to get some alligator clips to attach to them so I can put them on headbands. The flowers will be made next (not huge ones, ok Julianne? gosh!)
