Week in review

What a great busy week.

Thursday we took Trevor to my work to see santa. He keeps telling us that he wants balloons from Santa (if I would have known that that is all he wants, I wouldn't have spent so much money). He was so excited to see santa, until we got up there. He didn't cry, but he didn't want to sit on his lap. Once santa started talking to him about what he wanted and talking about Cody and the new baby, Trevor warmed up and was talking back. I don't have pictures yet, but they should be sending them very soon.
After santa we met the Henrys at Jakes for dinner. Then dropped Trevor off at my moms house and then we had a Christmas get together with Aarons work group. It was at his directors house in Lakeville. We had a great time. IT was the first time that they have really ever done a get together where spouses were invited. It was a good time.

Friday Aaron had Happy Hr with my work people. I was invited also, but since I am 18 weeks pregnant, I really wasn't up for going downtown. Aaron wasn't gone long. He was home by 8 to help our neighbor with his garage.

Saturday I got up and met my sisters at my moms house for cookie baking! We had so much fun and really enjoyed our time together.
Saturday night we had dinner plans with my mom and Troy then Aaron went over to their house to help put up lights. I was beat. I fell alseep on the couch.

The past week I have been getting sharp pains down the left side of my butt. I have been so exhausted. Literally taking naps (those that know me, know that I don't take naps)..... and I have been falling aleep watching TV. This baby is draining me

Sunday we did absolutely NOTHING. I did go and get my hair chopped off. As soon as I am able to do it to my liking I will post a picture. Trevor didn't changed out of his jammies until bath time, just to get into new jammies. Oh well, it's nice to have days like that.

THings have been going so good. We have been doing the potty training thing for the past 3 weeks. Trevor only wears diapers at night time and nap time. If I am going somewhere that we won't be near a bathrooom as easy, we also put on diapers. But, I am so proud of him. He loves his big boy pants. We are still trying to get him to tell us when he has to go. He tells us after the fact. He hasn't had many accidents, so that has been good. I am so proud of him. He definetly isn't my baby anymore.

On to a new week. We have another busy one. Monday we have dinner with the Sandmeiers and Gischs. Tuesday nothing. Wed dinner with the Worms. Thursday we leave for Michigan to celebrate Christmas with Aarons family.

Until then!!! Have a great week!

A bunch of stuff....

Alot of stuff going on this past week.
Monday night we went to the Gischs for dinner. Steve made an incredible Venison Stroganoff. It was a great dinner and company wasn't that bad either!

Friday night we got together with Angie, Chris and Eddie. We took the train from the MOA and headed to the Holidazzle parade. It was so much fun. Eddie and Trevor are literally hours apart for age. They are tons of fun when they get together.
After we got back to the MOA we went to Ruby Tuesdays at the mall for some appetizers and then we walked the mall a little bit to let the boys let off some steam. They ran pretty much the whole mall.

Sat. we had my mom and Troy housewarming party. We also made it my moms surprise EARLY birthday party. Her birthday isn't until Feb. But, since my grandparents leave for Florida at the end of this month, they wanted to celebrate with her. It's her big 50th this year!! We had a great time with great food!

Sunday morning we were up bright and early to meet Angie, Eddie, Jen, Logan and Bennet to head back downtown to the Macys christmas display. It was packed! We actually got lucky since we had 3 strollers, they let us cut in line. Probably saved us 20 min. But, hey, better then standing in line. The display was the same as last year, however they added a few more displays. Trevor still loved it.
After we got back on the train we let the boys run a little bit. They were so cute together. Talk about a handful . They were fun!

Sunday night we went over to mom and Troys, Aaron was helping Troy split wood. We had a bunch of balloons from Sat night left over, so Trevor was having fun popping them. But, now he wants more ballonons from Santa. So, that is what he says he is going to ask for.... LOL

Here are ALOT of pictures from the past week..... enjoy!!

Bowling & Gingerbread House

Sunday morning we went and met Papa Troy, Gamma Kim, Auntie Lisa, Uncle Steve and the girls at the bowling party. We had to prebowl since Saturday night is the house warming party for mom and Troys new house. We had the kids bowl on the alley next to us. Trevor had never bowled before. He had a pretty good time.

Sunday night we made a Gingerbread house for the first time. We were supposed to do it when Ashlee was here, but we ran out of time. I think Trevor and Aaron ate more then they actually put on the house.

We are still here!

Yes, it has been a long time since we have updated the blog. We have been pretty busy and fighting colds. I think Trevor and I have been fighting colds for the past month. Hopefully we are into the last stretch of it.

Baby #2 has been growing good. We are almost 16 weeks. We heard the heart beat at our last appt and it was strong and beating at 150. We scheduled our Ultrasound for Dec 22nd. Talk about a GREAT Christmas present.

Halloween was good. Trevor slept the whole time we were at the mall. I think he woke up for about 15 min. Oh well.... it was still a good night.
After the mall we headed to Nani and Papas. Then we went home and had Danielle, Jason, Kelly, Steve and Nicole and Brian over for Fondue. We had a good time.

Thanksgiving weekend is already here and almost gone. YIKES. Grandma Barb, Grandpa Lloyd and Ashlee came to spend Turkey Day with us from Michigan. Thanksgiving day we had my dad, Roby, Kelly, Steve, Nicole, Brian, Barb, Lloyd, Ashlee, Tgrevor, me, Aaron over for lunch. Then we headed over to see Papa Floyd for a little bit. After there we took Barb & Lloyd to my moms new house so they could see it.
Friday we got up and went to get our Christmas tree. After the tree we hit Target and the Bville Center. It was CRAZY busy. But, we mangaged to get some of our shopping done. Grandma and I are goiung out tomorrow as well.

I am going to hopefully start keeping up with this from now on. I am not going to promise, but I will try! :-)

Dinner at the Sandmeiers

Tonight we went to the Sandmeiers house for dinner with Kelly and Steve. We always have so much fun when we all get together. We had a great lasagna dinner and then we played Yhatzee. Trevor was so fun. He ended up taking Kellys camera and became a photographer. He kept pointing the camera at everything and it sounded like he was saying "Hot Cheese"..... LOL.... I think he took about 190 pictures. She probably had a great time erasing 90% of them!

Wings & Vikings

Today we had family over for buffalo wings and the Vikings game. We had so much fun and the wings were delicious. Too bad we couldn't have a celebrated a Viking win. But, it was nice to be with family all day and just enjoy everyones company.

Update on baby Cavs 2

Today we had our 10 week appt. Everything looks great. We tried to hear the heartbeat, but no luck. So we brought in the ultrasound machine. We saw the heartbeat, we got to see out little Cavs jump and move his/her feet all over the place. It was too cute!

Zoo Day

Sunday, Jen and I took the boys to Como Zoo. We had to enjoy the weather! We don't have many nice days, so we took advantage of it. The boys had so much fun together. They were running all over the place.
Here are some cute pictures....

Fight the Fire 5K

Saturday morning we woke nice and early and dropped Trevor off at Grandpa and Grandmas. Then we went to pick up Kelly and headed to Stillwater. It was Aaron and Kellys first time running a 5K. I was so excited for both of them.
I decided to walk it with the wife of a guy that I work with.
Kelly and Aaron both finished in about 30 min. They worked so hard. Now they are going to keep getting better and hopefully down the road they can run in a 10K. I finished in 50 min and 15 sec.! Next year I will start training to run.

CONGRATS AARON AND KELLY.....

Circus

Friday night we headed down to the Target Center for the Zurah Shrine Circus. It was such a fun family night. I had never been to the circus (from what I can remember). I will admit that it was kind of sad, but what those animals and those people can do is amazing. We have some good videa of some of the acts. Trevor and Daddy had a chance to ride the elephant. There is a video of that below. I couldn't believe how long the circus was though. We got there at 6:30. It stated at 7:30. We didn't leave until almost 10pm. Trevor was very tired. Then we had to get up early the next morning for the 5K in Stillwater. But, we didn't let is stop our family night.

Trevor, our Computer Techie

So, tonight Aaron and Kelly went on a run to prepare for the 5K that they are running in on Saturday. I was in the kitchen making dinner and Trevor was playing in the living room. I kept going in to the living to see what he was doing and he was play typing on Aarons WORK computer. His computer was locked so I figured what harm could he do. He just kept saying, "Trevor Work" and he continued to type away.
So, I went back in to the kitchen for literally 2 minutes and came back in....... this is what our little computer tech decided to do to Daddys WORK computer!





If you can't tell by the pictures, Trevor started taking the keys off the keyboard.

All I could do was laugh to myself. Trevor looked up at me and said, "Trevor broke it". Then Aaron and Kelly walked in and I had to break the news to Aaron. Luckily he got it fixed, sort of. He will have to bring it back into work to see what they can do, but it will do for tomorrow.

Putt Putt Golf

Today we headed to Grand Slam with Kelly and Steve. I hadn't been to it since they have rebuilt it. It's a lot of fun. We went putt putt golfing and then headed to the arcade. We had so much fun. Trevor ended up beating all of us at golf. I came in last! But, my excuse, Trevor kept kicking my ball!!

He is getting so big!

Baby C pictures

Well, we couldn't figure out how to get the pictures to scan and download. So, I had to take pictures of the pictures! The big round part that is attached to the baby (to the right of the baby) is called the Yolk Sac.
Here they are!

In the first picture you see the white arrow on the top. It is pointing to the baby. This is exactly how big baby C is!



This pic is just a picture of the baby!



This is a close up. You can actually see the the little leg and arm "spuds". Too cute

Meeting Baby Carter

This weekend we went Apple and Raspberry picking. I have pictures, but they are on our other camera. I'll have to update when I get them downloaded.
Sunday we went and visited the Gorschs and met baby Carter. What a doll. He was so alert and just too cute. Trevor was so cute. He wanted to hold him and just kept giving him kisses and hugs. We are so happy for you guys, Jordan and Steph! CONGRATS.... he is beautiful.

Pregnancy Update

First I will start off by saying that we have a new truck! We traded in our Durango and got a Dodge Ram Hemi. It's metallic black. Absolutely beautiful! We are very excited about it. Trevor calls it his truck! lol

We had our first doctor appt today.
According to my first day of my last menstrual cycle, I should be 9 weeks along today. My doctor loves to use the Ultrasound machine so we got to have an ultrasound. When we saw the baby, Baby C was only measuring 6 weeks along. When I came off my pills my body became screwed up and they believe that I was ovulating later then normal. When they did the ultrasound today we saw the babys heartbeat and it was beating strong!! So, that is good news. We also got our first pics of the baby. I have another doctor appt tomorrow for an Ultrasound with the big machine so they can get a definite timeframe of everything. They gave me an estimate on the due date and it should be around May 16th!

We will keep everyone posted and I will get some pictures of the first ultrasounds!! :-)

Congrats to the Gorsch family

Congrats to Jordan and Steph Gorsch on the arrival of their son Carter Thomas. Born Tuesday, 9/15 @ 1:57PM, He was 8 lbs and 20 3/4" long.
We cannot wait to meet Carter!!!!

Happy 19th Birthday Keifer

Uncle Keifers 19th birthday was on Sept. 11th. We celebrated tonight and went to Olive Garden for Neverending Pasta Bowls.... I am sooo full!

Not much new right now to report on the pregnancy. I've been feeling great. Had a couple nights where I was very queezy. I've been more tired then I was when I was pregnant with Trevor. But, other then that, doing good! I have my first appt on the 24th, so we will have some more info then!

Here are some cute pics from tonight!

Trevor was wearing this little towel around him and it was so cute. Aaron got the picture just as it fell down, but it looks like he wearing it around his waste now. It was so hilarious!
