NEW (used) STROLLER

A few weeks ago a sweet lady in our ward was giving away this stroller her daughter was getting rid of. I was the lucky one that snagged it! So excited, mostly to haul Brend and new baby around in it. Brend doesn't stay close to me for very long and walks REALLY slow, so I was hoping to get some sort of double stroller.

I LOVE THIS ONE!

The boys and I scrubbed it down and made it looking brand new.

  

Papa, Nana & Matt
came to our house!
July 25th - July 30th

(all iphone pictures, oops)

This helped us big time with leaving Utah, knowing that we would have visitor coming a week after we got home.

Uncle Matt was invited to some football thing in Oklahoma City, and it was cheaper to fly into Dallas than there so we were lucky to have visitors. We all went to OK city together and stayed a night, had a new little adventure.

 We went to Bricktown for dinner and to party on the town and see the city.

 break dancing session going on during and after dinner...

 Fuzzy's Tacos.....HOLY MOLY YUMMY.

  Thought we found a great sacrament meeting close to our hotel, but ended up being a Spanish branch. Ha. Oops. Still was awesome, such a strong spirit in the chapel.

 Saturday we swam before we hit the town... the pool was FREEZING so it was short but sweet.

 At Uncle Matt's Football shindig. I guess there were scouts there checking him out, or something like that. He's an amazing athlete, it was fun to watch him a little.

  Back in Fort Worth, Papa took us to a movie, Planes 2: Fire and Rescue. Such a cute show. The boys both loved it.

Bike riding and mini train ride was perfect for the 79 degree weather we were lucky enough to have.

Making family trees and talking about ancestors for FHE.

 One last outing to Bahama Bucks while our visitors were here.

We love you Papa and Nana and Matt!

Thanks a million for the fun visit. :)

BABY  B O Y  #3

Still due: Dec 5th

24 weeks (6 Months) along

 Here's how we told the boys and announced it by posted this collage. Brock was with us via Facetime, but I also sent him a package in the mail telling him since I surprised him and got an ultrasound by my mom's sweet friend Bobbi John in SG. Eeek. It was scary, but fun.

So relieved it's a boy, I am prepared and know how they work, most of the time, and at least until they are 5.

 Co smiled for a second, then let out some serious anger.

I felt so bad!! He was kicking the box and trying to rip the balloons out. I knew he wanted a girl but didn't know how badly.

 We had to have a sit down and chatted about how Heavenly Father gets to choose who comes to our family next. After we talked about having a third ninja to help beat up Dad at home, he thought that was pretty cool and was OK with the idea of another brother.

 Brend was just HAPPY.

He wanted a boy and got one.

All smiles from him.

 

Here are a few awkward belly pics @ 20-21 weeks along....

I never remember to take them when anyone is around. 

  Feeling great still.

This baby boy is doing flips all the time.

Brend felt him kick for the first time today and said "Mom, he kicked me!" then walked away laughing about it.

I am carrying this baby a lot lower than my first two for sure.

I have been having pains on top of my pelvic bone area, which I thought were stretching ligaments (common in pregnancy) but they are more shooting pains, this baby hits a few nerves very well down there. Yikes!

This pregnancy is FLYING BY! AHH! I can't think about only having 4 months left, I feel like I just found out I was pregnant.

I want ice cream all the time, what's new.

Have craved pickles this time around, weird.

Have drank more coke during this pregnancy than both my others combined. Oops!

Have a feeling he will come early on his own, but kinda hoping not since Brock will be in Kentucky less than 2 weeks before my due date. Ready or not, he will come!

Still NO IDEA what his name is.....yikes.
