Father's Day & My Birthday!

So this year my birthday happened to be on father's day.. so we decided to go to the zoo with Dan's brother and sister in law, Matt and Jamie, and of course Ayden!
London loved it so much he kept growling at all the animals. He watches the Jungle Book almost every day, so he's seen all the animals before, the elephants are by far his favorite!


Ayden has the cutest little red wagon he got for his birthday, and they had so much fun being able to sit with each other.

London and I riding the train!

Getting ready to leave he was so ready for his nap :(
(Don't mind the fat face, I'm almost to the end of my pregnancy)


Later that day we went to my aunts house for a BBQ it was for Father's Day, my uncle Bud's Birthday and Mine!
We had yummy shish-ka-bobs, and Eclairs for dessert!!!
London got to play in the kiddy pool, and had so much fun.
He kept taking a plastic cup and filling it with water from the pool then would try to water the flowers with it, but it kept spilling before he even got to the flowers ha ha, it was so cute!

He knew the water came out of there and wanted it back on.

Cuddling with Samantha to get warm :)

June is my favorite month because....

1st: We moved into our own place the beginning of the month.
(We LOVE it! Plus it's always so much better when your not sharing a house with other people)

2nd: My Birthday is on the 20th!
(My FAVORITE day of the year)

3rd: London is 19 months and sleeping in a toddler bed already.
(It was easy when I took away his bottle at 13 months and this was just as easy. I'm so PROUD of him)

4th: On June 3oth I'll be 37 weeks
(That's FULL term baby)

5th: SUMMER SUMMER TIME!
(Yes it is hard being pregnant in the heat, but I Love the SUN)



Normally to this list I would add.. CAMPING ( but I won't be attempting that this year) & SWIMMING (Not to sure I'll be doing much of that besides a kiddie pool for London)

Mothers Day & 30 Weeks

My Aunt Nanny gave me a beautiful cardboard scrapbook that says MOM it has pictures of London.. it's so CUTE!
After I got Dan a mug with pictures of our family on them for Fathers Day last year we decided to make it a tradition.. so this year I got one with pictures of the last year and even a picture of Memphis's ultrasound on it... I LOVE IT!

This Mothers Day we started the morning by picking up my Great- Grandma and we went out to Breakfast at IHOP. It was a long wait, but it was well worth it!


Later that day we headed to Clinton to have dinner with Dan's family.

It was a lot of fun, we pulled up and his mom and all the other kids were riding around on these little wiggle cars. London saw them and was so excited, he had such a blast riding around on them. When it was time to leave London was crying as he said bye, he did not want to leave.

The night ended with a little Desperate Housewives and Oreo's in bed.. YUMMY!

30 WEEKS


It's crazy to think I only have 10 weeks left and Memphis will be here!


If he's anything like London he won't wait that long he'll want to make an early arrival.
I am physically ready for him to be here, but I am not ready to bring him home. We still need to move, and get everything settled. As far as baby stuff I have all my big stuff, but I haven't even started buying diapers, and all the stuff a newborn needs. If we move fast then I can have a month or more to get everything ready!!

My Londy is getting so big

While waiting for baby Memphis to arrive, I have been thinking about how London was so little, and yet still a little guy he has a big boy personality.
I made this collage of London from 3 days old to now.
He has made my life! Everyday he learns something new, and he makes me laugh.


I'm getting to the impatient part of my pregnancy. I just wanna meet Memphis so bad, he has been kicking me Non-stop. I just can't imagine how active of a little boy he's gonna be.
Going through all of London's baby clothes makes it that much more exciting!
They might be a handful, but I'm sure having two little boys will be so much FUN!

Family Pictures & London is 18 months!

We had some family pictures taken by Shailynn Draper, she took some amazing pictures, we are so happy with them!



Six more months and my baby will be 2!
London just turned 18 months, I can't believe how fast they grow.
He is so smart.
London is always playing around with his clothes, and today I looked over and he had put his pants on all by himself, of course I had to help him button them, but it was still so cute!
Everything to London is a baby, and everyone has a baby in their belly, at least that's what he thinks ha ha.
He loves to pull up my shirt and kiss the baby. He is gonna be such a great big brother!

EaStEr 2010

Since London is still so little and doesn't really understand what's going, the Easter bunny didn't arrive till about 10 am.
He brought London a pin-will, bubbles, toy dinosaurs, swimming trunks, flip flops, and some treats!



He found the cookies right away
oh bubbles!
The Easter bunny hid some eggs in London's room

putting the eggs in the carton after finding them




Time for dinner... He just wanted the cookie!


Okay so... I don't cook, I'm no good at it, I don't have the patience, But this year I decided since we didn't have any other plans that I would cook Easter dinner for our little family.
I cooked a tiny ham, overnight potatoes, frog eye salad, deviled eggs, and of course this YUMMY strawberry cheesecake!
I will say everything was so good, I'm very proud of myself.

Just a little boy

Dan and I took London to the park about a week ago and he had such a BLAST!


He giggled on the swing

Loved the slides
The Day before easter we had our family pictures taken. It was a lot of fun, London was all over the place, and being shy as usual.

I will post them as soon as I get them... I can't wait, we've never had family pictures!

After, I was a little exhauseted, but london still had a lot of energy!



Playing with his cars


Such a BOY!
