My baby boy is getting so big...

Yes, we are proud parents, Jacob has learned how to ride his bike (with training wheels of course). Tonight for FHE we went to the park and Jacob rode around the whole park, which is about a mile, he's now fast asleep in bed. And I soon will be too, he's pretty fast. Matt had to speed walk the mile to keep up and I waddled 10-15 yards behind.




These pics are actually from the other day, I forgot my camera tonight. And we do have some videos of him riding (I just don't know how to upload them). Jacob loves to sit and watch his mad skills on his bike. He likes to point and say "bike, fun and happy" mixed with laughter. He does fall down every now and then, but he doesn't seem to mind. He just gets back up and keeps on going. And the best part is when he gets going really fast, he just laughs and laughs, then we start laughing. It's times like that, that remind me what a blessing it is to be a parent. That something so simple could bring me so much joy.

Is it weird that I feel like I'm gonna miss him once the baby is born?

36 weeks!!

36 weeks! What!?!? I can't believe it's almost time! I'm starting to get very excited, but nervous at the same time. Not nervous about the birth but about life with 2 kids...I was at Target today and was just thinking, okay when I have the baby who do I take out of the car first? baby or toddler? If the car seat is in the shopping cart, and Jacob is buckled up front, where do I put all my stuff???? But I'm sure I'll figure it out. And never leaving the house is not the solution. I've been feeling pretty good, just having a hard time sleeping. But I've had enough energy to still get all my chores done. I have a big fear of this baby being born and my house looking like you know what...By all means I want this baby to be as healthy as can be, but if mopping puts me into labor then so be it. I can even see myself starting to clean once I go into labor just to insure a clean house.

The crib is set up and ready to go...I made her blanket and for my first blanket ever, I think it turned out pretty darn cute.

And this kid already has more clothes than Jacob.

She's now hogging half my side of the closet.

Easter

We really enjoyed Easter this year. It was a day filled with fun, excitement and the Spirit.

On Saturday, we colored eggs. It didn't take long before Jacob tipped over one of the cups...

Easter morning, we woke up to our baskets.

Shannon

Lilly

Jacob

Matt

Jacob had fun looking for eggs. It took him a few minutes to get into it, but once he did it was a lot of fun! He started throwing the eggs in the basket so hard.

After the easter egg hunt, Shannon made a wonderful breakfast - pancakes, bacon, eggs and fruit.

After breakfast, we went over to Grandma and Grandpa's house. Jacob enjoyed another easter egg hunt there!

After hours of fun, Jacob was so tired that he fell asleep within 5 minutes on the way home.

All about Jacob....

Jacob has moved into a "big boy" bed, and he loves it.
He hasn't had any problems sleeping in it yet....
I had a problem sleeping the first night he was in it, I just kept picturing him joyfully jumping on his new bed and then falling through the window, but Matt has assured me that he doesn't weigh enough to break through the window and blinds.....
he'll be just fine....

Yes, I know...he still has a binky, but only for naps and bedtime...

No, not grass, weeds, and a nasty rotten orange that fell off our neighbors tree....

Jacob's favorite thing for lunch is a corn dog...
but when he says it, it sounds more like a "d-dog"??

He's getting better and better at eating what I give him....
although sometimes I have to tell him it's "McDonald's" to get him to eat it.....

"Painting!" He's obsessed, ever since the first time we painted, he loves it!
He's two right, so I thought he would enjoy finger painting, but no...
he can't stand to have stuff on his hands, I'm sure it's my fault. I've never really let him get get dirty. I spoon feed him forever, for fear of the mess he would make.
He also loves washing his hands, anytime he's in the bathroom he has to wash his hands.......
I'm sure he'll grow up having OCD but at least he'll be clean...or it will back fire and he will be the messy smelly kid in class and no one will want to be his friend.....
well if he does have issues he can blame them on me...

32 weeks, and more prego pics....

32 weeks! Can you believe it? I can't...The past few weeks have gone by so fast. I've been feeling really good, I just wish I could get a good nights sleep. I just can't get comfy, but other then that I can't complain. So not alot to say this time, but here's some more pictures that my sister in-law took...and she has more on her blog (yes she took ALOT of pics, b/c I like to blink, so she really had no choice)

Pregnancy Photoshoot

My sister-in-law did my pregnant pictures. Here are just a few of my favorites! She hasn't edited them yet, so Matt did some quick editing...

Laundry Room....

Okay just one more....I figured since I had all my stuff out I'd go ahead and add some vinyl to the laundry room.... I got the idea here . Okay now her laundry room is sooooooo cute! and her project is much more involved, but I stole her saying. Except I left "press" out, I don't iron, ever, unless in has to be done......
