Family Hike at Kit Carson Park

It was a beautiful day so we decided to take advantage of it. We went to Kit Carson Park in Escondido. It has a really cool statue garden with all of these amazing, colorful statues. We had a lot of fun exploring and playing. Still no baby. 41 weeks pregnant and still with child!

My Boy's Rooms

I am ready for this little one to come! 2 days away from my "due date"...but we all know babies come when they are ready, so patien me is just enjoying the waiting game. Here are a few pictures of his room.

This nameless babies monogram will be finished when we finally decide on a name. I have my name and Kyle has his. Only time will tell to see who wears the pants in this family.

Gavin and Parker's room and playroom. They love their bunk beds and feel like such big boys.

Dress-up trunk and kitchen.

All their toys labeled and organized. I have to say this has helped so much. They know where everything goes and do a pretty good job of putting things away.

I love my little men!

Kyle's 31st Birthday

Parker's Preschool Halloween Party

Little astronaut and Frankenstein.

All the super cute preschoolers (and siblings) all lined up.

Carnival games with prizes. Gavin dominated, hooked the circle on, first try.

Parker took a minute to get the hang of it, then hooked it on the last try.

His best Frankenstein face.

Bates Nut Farm

Kyle was on a double 24 hour shift and I wanted to do something fun with the boys, so we went to Bates Nut Farm in Valley Center. There are so many things to do so it was hard for the boys to decide. We started with rock climbing. Gavin made it almost to the top and Parker gave it his best effort. Then we got their faces painted, conquered the maze, slid down bouncy slides, and created a spin art frizbes. So much fun!

We did it!

Gavin's School Party

Trick-or-Treat

We went to Grandma and Papa Carnohan's for trick-or-treating. Such a great neighborhood. This year, one of the houses had a haunted house in the back yard. Gavin really wanted to do it, so with a little twisting of Daddy's arm, they did it. He came out loving it, and I am happy to say he has not had one scary dream. What a relief. They had a great time and got just enough candy.

36+ Weeks Prego

I am starting to really be over this pregnancy. I am feeling uncomfortable and huge. I am sick trying to be tough and hardcore. Sometimes Mommy needs to be babied too. Sometimes I need dinner ready for me and a little extra love. I know my hormones are going crazy and I am being a little bit of a crybaby, but hey my life is going to completely change in just a few weeks. I will have to push a watermelon out of my va-jay-jay and devote the next year of my life to nursing and having to be the sole provider to a completely dependent baby. I am excited and I can't wait to welcome a new baby into our family, but I am scared! Am I ready to give up just having two kids to now having 3? Not really. I am super nervous and worried I will not be able to give all 3 kids the love and attention they deserve. I feel like I don't have my 2 kids completely under control and I worry they will feel replaced by a very needy baby brother. I am trying to savor these last few weeks I have with just my Gavin and Parker. I am trying to do a few extra things with them and take in every last day I have with just them. I realize I am a little dramatic but that is how I am feeling right now. I may feel different in a few minutes.: ) I guess that's just being super pregnant!

This little baby is growing and all ready in position for his big escape. I had to have another ultrasound a few days ago because they were worried he was small based on the size of my belly. But I guess teaching 12 fitness classes a week can make your tummy measure small. :) He weighed in at 6lb 11 oz based on the ultrasound measurements, so with a little over 3 weeks to go he is not going to be too small. Thank goodness.

Here is to a few more weeks of having a gigantic belly!

30 Weeks and Counting....

Brotherly Love

I love how my boys are the bestest of friends. They love to play together and get along pretty well. I love overhearing their conversations they have together in the play room and the endless imaginative play they come up with. I am excited to add another brother into the mix and watch their love and friendship grow.

Summer fun with the Shelton Boys!

These boys love eachother and always have so much fun. (Painting!)
