Shout-Out

My grandparents are here visiting this week. It's so fun to be able to be here with them.

I don't know when I'll be able to make a post again so here's a shout-out to the people who commented on the last question I posed -thanks. It seems DON'T TELL is the way to go. Sorry ya'll...

But on the up side, now that I'm feeling so much better, the pregnancy is zooming by. It'll probably start to drag again, but for now it's nice.

Anyway...

I came across these adorable pictures on my Mom's computer.

I took these pictures last year!

Caden calls his Daddy his BEST BUDDY.

Here's an early shout-out to OUR NUMBER ONE SUPER HERO...

We wish you a HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

To Tell Or Not ?

After people ask us what we are having...a boy or girl, their next question without fail is: "What are you naming her?" Adam and I have a very hard time thinking of and agreeing on names. But here's the question: to tell or not to tell?

When I was pregnant with Caden, we originally liked the name Blaze. We told people that name and would get weird looks, snide remarks, or people would tell us not to use that name ... like they had a say or something. Well, it kinda ruined the name for us. So when we decided on Caden, we also decided NOT to tell people his name until he was born. It's harder for people to tell you they don't like the name when they have a sweet little baby face to go with it. Plus, it was kinda fun leaving it for a surprise. We revealed the name when our baby Caden revealed himself.

So I am just wondering... to tell or not to tell? Tell me what YOU think?

Monkey and Bamboo

I love sunrises! Mornings are so peaceful, calm, and beautiful! This is the view I got from my backyard the other day. Of course the camera doesn't do all the colors justice, but this little stolen memory is better than nothing.

But that's not what this post is about. I finally decorated my upstairs bathroom! We've been in our house a whole entire year and the only thing in it was a trashcan and a clear shower curtain.

I think it looks so dang cute now with MONKEY and BAMBOO!

I love how it all came together, even though it wasn't a "set" ... in fact, the monkey on the towel was originally a potholder. (My mom sewed it on for me.)

Once again...the pictures don't really do it justice. Ha ha. But I love it.

Good Day

We had such a fun day today. It was just a normal day, but it just felt like a good one. We all got up early. Caden and I pulled weeds in the front yard while Daddy mowed the back. (We learned our lesson and Caden is to stay far away from the mower for now on... Something got flung at him the other day from the mower and it left a pretty good welt on his leg. Scary!)

The boys then got new summer haircuts. I am a pretty good barber if I do say so myself. Caden's is short because he gets so hot and sweaty. I like to stick it up in the front when it's short. Well today he told me, "Mom, I just want my hair to sleep." What did he mean? He started smashing down the part that was sticking up in the front. Oh well, I still think he's handsome.

After Daddy went to work, Caden had a blast splashing around in the baby pool in the backyard - excuse me... Caden had informed me he's a big boy and refers to it as his big boy pool. Anyway, he and I had such a pleasant day. He insisted I speak to him with a Russian accent the entire night...~...all throughout dinner, Monopoly, and even for the bedtime stories. What a weirdo.

I just feel so blessed. I know my husband NEVER reads my blog, but I SO appreciate him and the life we have together!

(I think maybe I am just so happy I didn't have a smidge of nausea today, that I gave myself a natural high. Ha ha.)

Pancake Boy

Caden's favorite thing to eat is pancakes. He's so silly. I just love my pancake boy!

Memorial Day

So here's how I splurged today. Fun, huh?

I guess I'm ready to accept that it's really a girl now. ;)

Although, we are still kinda in shock.

Brother Or Sister...

Happy Cliff-Hanger

Finally a new post. ;)

We've just been anxiously waiting for the 20 week ultrasound and the results are in.

So what do YOU think? Baby BOY or Baby GIRL???

(Don't spoil it if you know already. Thanks.)

Scrap Pics

WHEW, it's been busy around here. On the up side, my cute cousin and her family came to visit. Fun times! The pictures speak for themselves. Here they are:

On the down side, the second her family left, Caden and I got sick. Really sick.

{I'm so sick of being sick!}
