RIDE EM' COWBOY!

I just had to post this picture... I think it is so funny at this age how you don't think your kids are listening or paying attention then a few days later it clicks for them. When we were visiting my friend Angela & her fam in Idaho, her hubby Rob would give Robby piggy back rides. The funniest part is then Robby would try to ride Drew, which is was not a fan of. Well a few weeks later look what he is doing..

I know that is where he remembers it from because I have not said anything about it or done piggy back rides. I can't believe Bella sat there long enough! SO FUNNY!!

HOW BIG IS BABY??

Yet again, another week has passed. I just don't know where my times goes these days. Anyhow, I thought you would like to see photos of my belly progression, so here goes:

8 Weeks
12 Weeks

16 Weeks

Now for the details.. I have been beyond blessed to again not have much morning sickness. This pregnancy has not been that different from the first, however this little squirt is very picky with food. I did not have food aversions with Drew but not true this time. This baby lets me know if they don't like the food I choose. It doesn't make me sick, I just literally can't eat it. The funny thing is when I eat something the baby likes, it is really active. I was also queasy with this booger later in my first trimester into my second..not true with Drew. I think the funniest thing is this baby is all over the place, when using my heartbeat monitor we locate the heartbeat, but with in seconds it is gone, which means we start all over again. I thought it was just me, but the baby did the same thing to the doctor. I think we are in for trouble.

For those of you out there that like to guess the sex... the heart rate has been around the mid 150 to mid 160's, so guess away. We hope to find out on the 5th, which is just a little over a week away!! YIPPEE!!

DREW Did the Puyallup!!

Sorry I am so behind with posting.. Okay now for some quick catch up! When we visited WA we "just happened" to be there during the Puyallup Fair, which was Drew's first ever fair.

Enjoy some of the fun pics of our day with Grandma & Grandpa!

First Up, Train Ride...Of Course

Drew's First Scone... Let's Just say it was a hit especially with Grandma's homemade Jam!!

The Hit of the Day- The Chicks, it was hard to pry him away! Petting Zoo...he loved the bunny & chickens
Drew had a great time throwing the straw on me while the Goat was eating my hair.. fun times!

Okay so maybe this was the highlight, he did not want to leave this big BEEP BEEP (as he calls it)! It was a bummer because he could not go in do to it being in service.

Our Trip to Washington...

Okay so I am WAY behind again, what is new! I am still catching up from my two weeks away. We were blessed to spend some time in Washington with the first stop to see my friend Manesseh get married in Spokane Washington. This first leg of the trip was a whirl wind, but it was so worth it because it was one of those moments in life where you see God's answered prayer right before your eyes. I have prayed for Manesseh for almost 10 years and I am praising God she found the man God made just for her!!

So, enjoy a couple pics from the wedding & Congrats to Carlos & Manesseh CASTRO!!

This was her simple & beautiful reception decoration!

Drew LOVED the punch!

Uncle Rob giving Drew a ride, he wasn't sure at first but they became fast friends!!

The Holden Clan (Rob, Robby, & Angela-my best friend)

Robby was tuckered out, he missed all the pictures. Hey carrying a ring down the aisle is a big job!!

Baby Jonny.. isn't he adorable. I got lots of snuggle time with him!

This is only the first of a handful of posts I will have from my 2 week adventure, so stay tuned!!
