Nickelodeon Universe

Tonight we decided to take Trevor to MOA and go to Nickelodeon Universe. We went with Jeremy, Jen, Logan and Bennet. We had so much fun. We met for dinner before hand and the boys could hardly wait to go on rides.

We then headed to rides. They went on all the rides they could. The last one of the night was the log chute. We were shocked that Logan and Trevor were able to get on that ride. We ended up buying the picture that they take at the end of the hill. I have to scan it and put it on here. It was so cute.
Last time we went I rode all the rides with Trevor. This time I couldn't ride, so Aaron got some good daddy Trevor bonding time. I think the big boys enjoyed some of the little rides more then Logan and Trevor did! :-)

What a great night. Thank you to the Henrys for the tickets!

Vikings, Fish, Doctor Appt, Potty training

Well, Sunday was our big Vikings game and we lost. It was a good game, except for all of our turnovers. Nicole, Brian and Elizabeth came over for a little bit so Trevor and Elizabeth could play.

This past weekend Aaron cleaned out the fish tank in Trevors room. We had 3 fish in there. Well, we think the water was too warm when we put the fish back in and they didn't make it. Trevor feeds his fish every night, so we had to go buy him new fish. He helped pick out 3 fish. We had to get home right away and put them in the tank and feed them. I think he likes his new fish.

Today we had our 24 week appt. Everything is looking good. Alivia isn't moving as much as I remember Trevor moving, the doctor said that was completely normal. I am actually measuring at 27 weeks. Which is about 2 1/2 weeks ahead of time. They said we just needed to keep an eye on it for the next couple appts. We have scheduled our C-section also. We are going in on May 10th @ 5:30am. Now that it's actually scheduled, it's going to come fast. We are so excited!! I just can't wait to hold her in my arms!! Below in the slideshow is a picture of me today! Its kind of a bad picture, but I had just got done working out!

Also, we have been working on potty training. Trevor is doing GREAT. He does a little dance now when he has to go. It's only been when we are sitting down to dinner and then he finally says he has to go potty. Then we have to run to the bathroom. But, we have been accident free for about a week. We still haven't mastered the nap and night time yet, but that is our fault. We have a habit of giving Trevor water before he falls asleep. We'll get there!

Until next time. We have a busy few days coming up.... but what is new!? :-)
Stay safe and warm for those of us in the MN or MI areas!!

GO VIKINGS!

We are all pumped for the big game on Sunday vs. New Orleans Saints. Here is a cute pic of my little man in his AP jersey!

So, I know its been a VERY long time since I have updated the blog. I apologize for all of you that follow this on a weekly basis!

Christmas has come and gone. Way too fast! We headed to Michigan the weekend before Christmas to celebrate with Aarons side of the family. It was so nice to see everyone. It had been a year since we had gone home. So, it was nice to see everyone again. Trevor had a great time playing with all his cousins and seeing all his Aunts and Uncles.

We went in for ultrasound on the 22nd of December. What a great christmas gift! We found out that we are expecting a baby girl! Due date is May 17th. However, since we had a C-section with Trevor, they recommended the same with this baby. So, they are thinking of doing the C-section on May 10th. We are so excited!!

Christmas was actually kind of relaxing this year. We celebrated most of the Christmas on Christmas Eve. Christmas day we enjoyed watching movies with my mom and Troy and doing NOTHING. The Sat after Christmas we celebrated with my dad and Roby. We had a great holiday! Trevor was cute to watch this year. However, he doesn't quite get the concept of the holiday. He just wanted more presents.

New Years we celbrated at our house. We had my sisters, Uncle Steve, Brian, a couple neighbors came with over with a couple their friends. We fried chicken wings and played games. It was a great New Years.

We have also been potty training for a little while now. Still not staying dry at night, but he doing so good! What a big boy. It makes me sad!!

Lets see... what else....

We also traded my Trailblazer in right before the New Year. I got a 2010 Chevy Traverse! I love it!

Besides all of that. We are just living the busy life! Patiently waiting for the spring so we can start camping and our little girl will arrive!!

I will get pictures updated soon.

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!!
