Lately

I have been eating lots of yogurt... I like this blue Trix kind cause it matches my cast ; )

Do you like cheese? I like cheese a lot, but most of all I like to eat cheese in small places like this laundry basket.

Hmmm, not sure why my mom has this book, but it sure looks funny!

I really like to put on my mom or dad's shoes. Makes me feel like a grown up even though I fall over a lot.

I went to the park with Mom and Dad and Chuie. That's my coold new minivan in the background.

The swings are still one of my favorite things to do at the park.

This slide looks pretty cool too! Dad is trying to be creative photographly.

Guess what?

Here are some of the ultrasound images for our latest addition...

tiny little feet...

cute little face and hands...

and, oh my, what is this? Not a girl as everyone suspected ; ) I should just trust my gut instincts... I thought it was a boy off the bat, but then was slowly convinced we were having a girl. Surprise, surprise, it is a little boy after all :)
Everything looks good so far, took some bloodwork just to make sure. But it looks like this little guy will be following in his big brother's footsteps - he is measuring about a week ahead, but not enough to change my due date.

Ouch!

Barrett had a little accident on the 13th. He was having a good ol' time playing in a pond when his hand got caught under a rock (or so I think)... anyways, when his face went under water I quickly yanked him out. Took him to the ER and he broke two bones in his hand. This is the ER cast they put on him - not very helpful for getting dressed or being an active boy.

We had a good time at the cabin this last weekend even though the weather was a little rainy; Bear did get to test out his new raincoat though ; )

And here he is in his fancy new cast. He doesn't seem to mind it one bit.

He still loves putting shoes on - the bigger the better! He even put his own shoes on the other day and on the correct feet too! What a big boy!

What's going on?

Our little Barrett loves to play with the telephone. Luckily, we don't have long distance on our home line so if he does call someone it shouldn't cost us more than a good laugh. The other day I was talking to Kimball on the office phone and Barrett picked up the phone in the living room. Now, the phone in the living room is not at his level so he had to climb on the recliner and stand on the arm to reach it. Little stinker....

I love this picture of Barrett.... he just loves playing in the water.

Here I am at 16 1/2 weeks. I have only gained 4 pounds so far compared to the 15 I gained with Barrett at this point. I am measuring about a week ahead, which is how I measured with Barrett. We have our ultrasound on the 24th and I can't wait to find out what this one is.... Any guesses? Take my poll and put in your guess.

18 months and going wild

Here are some recent pictures of Barrett. Things have been crazy around here lately. I have had miserable morning sickness and then when I just started to get over that I caught Barrett's cold. Both of us are in our second week but starting to feel better...

Barrett has been into wearing our shoes. The other day he had my heels on but I missed the photo opportunity. Will have to catch it again.

Here are some random pics of Barrett over the last few weeks. He has been having a good time playing and making funny faces.

I had a little photo shoot with Barrett and Chuie the other day. That poor dog she puts up with so much from him. He actually bit her the other day, but I think it scared him more when she yelped. He started bawling, it was pretty funny. I feel bad for Chuie sometimes though, but I am very grateful we have such a patient and loving dog for Barrett to play with.

Catchin' Up

These are from a few weeks ago... things have been so busy around here. I started teaching and have been a bit overwhelmed.

Bear and his girlfriend Brooklan in Donnelly a few weeks ago.

Oh yes, in all my glory. Yes, that is a maternity bathing suit; and yes, we are expecting. I am 11 weeks now and just starting to feel better.

Can't get this guy out of the lake... he loves the water.

Water Baby

Little Barrett loves the water. He will even climb in with all of his clothes on...

This little vest was Kimball's when he was a boy. We found it when we were "cleaning." Luckily, it still fits Barrett... he is such a moose.

Guess who?!?!

And again in the water. I swear, he practically jumped in on top of me! We've got a little swimmer on our hands!

Seattle

My friend Tiffany and I just went to Seattle to do a Mona Vie Tasting for my friend Cathy. We had a blast.
Here is a picture before we left of Bear and Kimball. Bear loves to read. He loves to have Daddy read to him. This is Cathy's little boy Ben. He is the happiest kid, always smiling.
Ben and Bear playing in the movies...
Me and Bear at the beach on Puget Sound.
Bear, cousin Jill, and I on the beach. So nice to get to see family and friends!
Here is Tiffany, Brooklan, Bear and I on the beach.

And of course, a mommy/daughter picture of Tiff and Brooklan!

These are some pictures from our very spendy Father's Day lunch at Salty's on Alki. Had we known it would cost us $50 per person we would have chose somewhere else to eat. Oh well, the food was good and the view was fantastic! And of course, the company was exceptionally wonderful : )

Happy Camper

We just went camping this past weekend at Lucky Peak. Luckily, we had pretty decent weather. Here are some pictures in a slideshow from our trip and also a few from before we left. A couple pictures are below that I thought were extra cute!

Happy Guy!

Walking with Dad on the dock.

First roasted marshmallow ever!!! Yummy!

I am loving this camping stuff!

Oh, and I graduated. This is the only picture I have of me in my grad gear... I was so hot I took it off before I found Kimball!
