When Aunt B is in Charge...

A day with "B"

Cowboy hats, diaper and tennis shoes are the height of 1 year old fashion doncha' know!

Watering the plants. A little for the flowers...a little for Jax

Taking a break with Aunt B's shoes on. He LOVED those guys! Here is a link to a video of him walking in her shoes! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VL-C1A3s2Rg

yes...yes he is climbing a ladder. And Yes he is still wearing big shoes!

This is the "after" picture of a yogurt rub down. He decided it was lotion. All of the shiny? yeah...that's yogurt shine!

*disclaimer...all events have been retold to the best of my abilities...any inaccuracies are blamed on the pregnancy hormones! ;-)

Father's Day Weekend

Making sure the stud finder works AND making a phone call at the same time! Now that's multitasking!

Yep....it's set and it tastes good!

We all know how much Justin LOVES a project! So what better gift to give him for Father's Day but a project (that's paid for!) Lol...In all seriousness, Justin does love to have projects to work on and he volunteered to fix the fence at my Mom's house as well as build some shelves for her garage. Jax was right there next to his Daddy the entire time (or for as long as we would let him "help")

Last year's Father's Day project (and their first!)

this year's Father's Day Boy Breakfast

Baby Girl Update

Last week (at 21weeks 4days) I had my monthly appointment with our midwife Renee. After hearing the adorable little heartbeat and taking some measurements, Renee announced that "I" am again measuring ahead. The outer measurement from pubic bone to top of the uterus should be approx the same number in centimeters as number of weeks gestation. So my expected measurements would have been around 22centimeters. I won't reveal my number (I am a lady!) But I will say I exceeded Renee's expectations (overachiever, I know!) enough to get another ultrasound to make sure this little bean isn't on the ginormous track her brother was!

After our neonatal photo shoot we were told that this little girl is right where she should be. 15oz. Not too big, not too small. She is still developmentally right on track!! (uterine sigh of relief here...)

Her birth date has also been set. If you'll remember we get an appointment this time around. The c-section will be done on October 19 at noon! So mark your calendars...she's on her way!

Sleepy Girl...

Woodward Park

Just a little update on what we've been up to lately...

The weather has been so nice lately (hard to believe I know) that Justin and I decided that it was time to take Jax to Woodward Park. This is the biggest park in Fresno. There are bike trails, ponds, play structures, a Japanese Garden with koi ponds....all kinds of stuff. A good time was had by all...well except when it came time to feed the ducks...

Jax running back to Mommy. He was NOT thrilled with the ducks and geese, which in his defense are HUGE and very brave. He loved throwing the food to them but was not a fan when the birds starting begging.

My handsome guy having fun at the jungle gym.

Jax' favorite thing to do was try to move/shake the bars. He would shake with all of this might and best grunts to try and move those suckers...cracked me up!

Down the big slide with Daddy. There was a smaller slide as well but he seemed to prefer this one and by the end of the trip the little dare devil thought he'd try it out solo--I strongly disagreed with that, much to his disappointment!

Memorial Day at Lake Comanche

Ever since Justin was a little path of destruction (or around 5 years old...correct me on this Kim) he, his brother, Mom and family friends have been lake camping for Memorial Day weekend. This is the first year that we were able to bring Jax into that tradition! After a very long week we packed the trailer and headed out of the "No". Destination? Lake Comanche Reservoir.

Jax eventually LOVED the water (a little too much for my comfort) but until he got comfy he realized that standing on Dad's feet kept his out of the water!

Throwing rocks

Checking out the super cool floatation station that Gramz bought. The center had a mesh bottom so we were able to lounge while Jax played in the shallow water in the center. Like I said...super cool! (note: there are no pictures in the actual water...I know my limits people and that would have equaled Bad News!)

Happy Guy (even if he did wake up at 530...yes that is in the AM)

Jax and his Uncle T totally bonded this trip. By the last day Jax was calling for "T" and was TJ's shadow around camp!

Our Buddy Boy also loved loved to walk Walter around the camp. I think I've added yet another chore onto his future list! ;-)
