Playing with my new camera.....:)

We finally got our new camera in the mail the other day and I have been having fun taking pictures of the thing I like best: my son! I am so glad that we got the camera in time for our vacation that we are going on this weekend!! We are heading to the Wisconsin Dells with a great family from medical school who we have not seen in forever, so it will be lots of fun. For those of you who do not know, it is a HUGE indoor water park. Ethan and I have been swimming every week to get geared up for the trip and he loves the pool and can't wait to jump in! Jim is relieved to have some time off. He is now on vacation until next Wednesday and it is so nice having him home! He has been busy with outdoor/indoor projects and has been very productive. I am trying to help out where I can. Now that the nursery is painted I can start decorating and getting that set up and I am finishing my scrapbooking and I am almost all caught up on Ethan's book! I am feeling good at 33 weeks pregnant and am so looking forward to having another baby and for Ethan to be a big brother. He loves rubbing my belly and kissing it and saying "baby". It is so cute! I am not sure if he really has any idea, but it is still cute. The other day he put tissue paper under his shirt and said , "baby", he hates being left out of anything!

It finally happened.....

I took too many pictures and broke our camera!! It just stopped working, so there might not be a lot of new pictures on our blog until we get a new one....whoops!

Build-a-Bear

The other day, our Wednesday playgroup got together and took the kids to build-a-bear in the mall. Ethan had fun picking out his own bear, stuffing it, and putting a heart in it. He held it from the time it was stuffed, until he had to go down for a nap that afternoon! He kept calling it his "new" bear :) I asked him what he wanted to name his bear for the birth certificate that you get to print out and he decided on the name "bus" so there ya go!Ethan holding the bear that he picked out.The bear getting stuffed!Picking out a heart to put in his bear!Giving "bus" a big kiss!

Happy Birthday Grandma Jastifer!

We hope that you have a wonderful birthday!!!

Spring is in the air!!

Today was such a nice day out! Ethan and I took full advantage of it. After his nap we played outside pretty much the rest of the day. He loves drawing with the sidewalk chalk, pushing his cozy coop car around, going for walks, and of course hitting up the park! Since dad had a well-deserved guys night out, Ethan and I had a fun time at the park. The biggest hits were the ducks, which he just stands, points and says , "quack, quack" and the slides. Lets just say that it was not an easy task to remove him from the park =:)

Checking out the ducks. 1-2-3 UNDERDOG! (He loves that!)

Ethan laughed all morning doing this, it was hilarious!!!

My morning....

So this morning, like always, Ethan was playing in his room while I was taking a shower. I am in and out so quick and he does a great job playing by himself. This particular morning when I got out of the shower Ethan came running to me and told me that he wanted to play. I told him just a sec that mommy had to get dressed and then she would play in a minute. A couple minutes later he came back into the room, but this time he had no pants or diaper on. I thought that he just took his diaper off for the fun of it because I had just changed it before I got in the shower. Well as I went to grab it and put it back on I noticed that it was "full" if you know what I mean. Before I could stop him, he was running through the house and I was trying in a very calm manner to stop him where he was and to not let him sit on anything. But before I could stop him up on his bed he jumps smearing it EVERYWHERE!!! I finally grabbed him and brought him straight to the tub. After cleaning him, I had to tackle the diaper and the mess that he made on his bed. I looked and did not find any other messes (cross my fingers). Lets hope that this was a one time occurrence!!! Oh the joys of parenting!!

A few stats

Last night I decided to "back up" Laurie's blog in the event that the blog company went bankrupt like everyone else. The file got bigger and bigger and bigger. The grand total:

Wow, so I decided to look into a few other stats since we had ethan:
