Our Last Day at Gymboree

Today was our last day at Gymboree.  It is just too hard for me to take him at this stage in the pregnancy.  He does love it so much so I know one day we will return to it or something like it later on.  Until then Gymboree will have to be in our house. 

Daddy loves this picture of me.

Luke and Emma together again

Luke was anticipating the teacher to drop the balls all the boys were ready and all the girls were off doing their own thing.  So funny how some things will not change.

Lukey and Friends

We had our friends over for Sunday night dinner and the kids all loved to play.  They all crammed into the octogon and did their own thing.  Luke, Emma, Alex, and Karina

Emma's so pretty sitting in the chair

Lukey and Emma watching TV together...they are so cute together

Luke must of had a fun time on Sunday because on Monday he slept so much

8 Weeks to go....OH MY

I can't believe how fast this 2nd pregnancy is going I have 8 weeks or less to go.  The baby is over 3 lbs.  right now so maybe they will arrive early like Luke did.  I am getting things ready for the baby.  The double stroller came the other day and my dad sent me the infant car seat that I left in Chicago.  I bought a sweet newborn all white outfit for the baby to wear home from the hospital too.  I am so excited and getting nervous at the same time.  We never found out the sex of the baby so we are still going back and forth with the names.  I am just praying for a safe delivery and a healthy baby.  Boy or girl we can't wait to meet you!!

Charlie and Sarah Visit

Charlie and Sarah were in town visiting us this past week.  We had a fun with our wonderful friends.  It was so good to see them and spend time with them since they live in Michigan and we don't get to see them that often.

Ben and Charlie attended the Damon Conference while Sarah and I took Luke and had our own fun.

We all went out to a nice dinner at AZ88 Sarah looked so cute in her pink dress.

Ben arranged for about 16+ people to go out to dinner and to the W afterward.  Everyone had a great time.  I was home by midnight and in bed shortly after it was a late night for this prego mama.  It was fun to get a sitter and go out though.

Everyone had a great time

Arizona Cardinals vs. Eagles game

We went to the playoff game on Sunday.  Luke loved it he was in shock for the 1st part of the game then he got into the fun.  

After the game Luke was so tired and ready for bed carrying around his 4 blankets

The game was crazy it was so loud and very exciting.  Ben wanted to take a picture to make sure deuce knew he/she went to the game too.

Luke still amazed by his surroundings he loved it!!

Mommy, Luke, and Daddy at the game... Luke looked so cute in his Cardinals jersey

It was so much fun.  We tried to put cotton on or hat on him to protect his ears he was not happy with that at all.  I hope he doesn't have hearing loss because of this game. 

GO CARDS!!

Someone is getting tired...

I have no idea how he slept through the 4th quarter the loudest and best part of the game.  As soon as the Cards won it was so loud Luke finally woke up to see what he missed.

Going to the Super Bowl

Luke 17 months old

Ben took a bunch of pictures of Luke the other day while I went out to run errands.  I can tell they had a great time together.

Look at that face I have never seen him smile like that before.  So funny!

When I came home Luke was just in a diaper and had pizza for lunch with no nap...  He sure loves hanging out with daddy.

New Year's Eve 2009

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

We had a small gathering on NYE at our house it was fun.  The guys in one room and the women and children in the other.  So funny!  We all managed to get together and take one photo of all of us.  We decided to celebrate NYE on East Coast time for the kids sake.  Although they lasted well into the 11th hour.  It was great to celebrate with our wonderful friends and family.
