...and baby GIRL makes 4!


You read it right people...this little peanut is all girl! She (hehe) is measuring right on schedule which was really strange to hear. If you remember her moose of a brother started measuring ahead early on! The due date remains the same October 23, 2010. However due to the nature of Jax' hasty delivery and some blood tests that agree that we could have the same issues with #2, our wonderful midwife Renee executively decided that we will have a scheduled c-section for the week prior to the due date. There will be at least one more ultrasound done to set the final date! Sooo...now that it's official--Let the shopping begin!

X games here we come!

Jax has been working on his quad stunts. I think the kid's got some potential. Check 'im out!

Ladybugs!

While we were in Pismo there seemed to be an infestation (for lack of a better description) of ladybugs. Sounds really cool huh? Think gnats or flies on a warm picnic day and multiply that and you get the idea of exactly how many ladybugs would descend on our campsite daily to get warmed up. They were everywhere. On our tables, awning, seats, us! At first Jax was really curious about the little red ladies that were landing on him and then...well...he got really good at "catching" them ala Lenny (of Mice and Men). We found many wings minus the bug on his little hands!

Back to Pismo we go...




My boys took me on another camping trip to Pismo for Justin's birthday. We decided that it was time to take the new trailer out for a spin and what better time to take the schnauzers on their first trip to the sand! So we packed up the trailer and let me tell you what...2 dogs, 2 adults and 1 buddy need A LOT of stuff!! Luckily, we have the toy hauler so everything (couches and beds included) fold up flat against the wall so that there is just a big space to load copious amounts of junk in!
Jax did much better with the sand...and by much better I mean he wasn't gagging each time it touched his skin. He still much preferred to have socks or shoes or feetie jammies on however. By the end of the trip he was able to walk barefoot around the campsite! woo hoo! Small victory!
On the other hand, the doggies loved the sand. They spent most of their time digging or chasing the sand their feet kicked up while walking. ;) They may not be smart but they are pretty!
We've also realized that Jax is a wheel addict. As in...if it has wheels he HAS to touch it/fix it/figure it out. Most of his waking time was spent playing with the wheeled objects around camp. He also made the connection that his helmet=a ride on the three wheeler. So many times a day he would toddle over to his helmet, put it on all the while making his "I want" sign. And let me tell you...Justin was sooo proud of this he just about Burst!!
Here are the pics (few that they are) of my boys. I didn't realize how often I am behind the camera until I didn't get a single picture of myself or the three of us the entire trip! Oh well... ;)
Come on dad...let's go!!

My boys....

Rockin' the feeties in the sand!

Yes...he IS driving with is feet.


This is my 13mo old son trying to STAND UP-no hands on the seat of his quad!
