Happy Fall from Michigan!!!

We took another trip to Michigan last week to visit Andy's family. We had a great time and could not have asked for better weather. Coming from Phoenix we were ready for a break from the heat. Fall was arriving in Michigan! The leaves were beginning to change and the air was a tad brisk. On Sunday we went to a Cider Mill for some cider, doughnuts and candied apples :) Yummy!!! We found a beautiful park nearby and decided to snap a few photos. Happy Fall Everyone!!!
P.S. I am 20 weeks pregnant in these pictures :)

Please take a moment

Can't get enough of this laugh :)

Mason is 5!!!

Five years ago today we were blessed with our first nephew. Mason William graced us with his birth on his due date of September 11, 2005. Because of this little bundle of joy my family's September 11th is a remembrance of those that were less fortunate on that tragic day but also a celebration of the birth of a new life that was brought into our great country!

Mason started kindergarten this year and is loving it! He is the youngest and tallest in his class :)
Mason has become the best big brother to Mylie Jo; he is patient, sweet, kind, and giving to his sister.
Mason has also been a great cousin to JD; he loves to make funny faces at Jameson and get a smile in return. He can't wait till JD can ride his quad :)



Here is a sweet little poem I found that sums up how I feel about my nephew

You are a nephew
that truly shines
Bright as a star
In the darkest of times

Knowing you're my nephew
Makes me so proud
You would stand out
In any crowd

You my dear Nephew
I truly love
You're as bright as the stars
That shine above.

We Love You Mason!!!

Birthday Pictures from Makutu's Island

11 months old!

Time must stop!!! I can not believe there is only a month left until I have a one year old!!! This year has been the fastest and most fulfilling year of my life!
This month Jameson has become the fastest crawler ever :) He pulls himself up on just about anything and travels from furniture piece to play table and back again.
I am not sure how much he weighs but I am going to say between 23-24 lbs. He has definetly spouted in height. He will hold my fingers and walk and I can stand straight up (which means no back pain) :)
Here is a picture of me, Jd and the new baby from this week :)

French Toast is Yummy!!!

We have been trying many new food these days and french toast has become a favorite. You will also notice at the end of the video his arms go up and I say, "Ta Da!" This must be said or the arms will stay lifted until I say it :)

Is it a boy or a girl???

We had an ultrasound today and found out we are having another sweet boy!!! We are so excited! We, of course, would have loved a girl too but having 2 boys so close in age is going to be a blast :) We can't wait to meet our new baby boy and introduce Jameson to being a big brother! Today was a good day :)
By the way, everything else looked great in the ultrasound. All the organs, arteries, chambers, etc were all in their proper locations. Thank God!!! We are continuing to send healthy vibes to my womb for a continued "normal" pregnancy!!! So please do the same!
Here are the pictures from today's ultrasound :)
