Love You Aunties

Jackson's favorite 'aunties' are pretty irreplaceable.

 

Playin in the Leaves :)

 When we went to do these photos, it was so beautiful down there...that we just had to play in the leaves.  His face is just priceless!  This is what Fall is all about :)

Hands Down my FAVORITE photo from the leaf playing!

 Yet another reason why this is my favorite season :)

Finally...

After what seems like forever, I'm excited to FINALLY make this announcement!

The reason why I've been so absent lately is because I'm exhausted!  

The reason why I've been so exhausted lately is because...

... Jackson is going to be a Big Brother!

We are thrilled and feel so very grateful and fortunate to be making room for another amazing miracle in our life!

The new little creature has some big shoes to fill with this little monster as a Big Brother!  Jackson steals my heart every day and I can't wait to see how he transitions into his new role.

So far this pregnancy has felt like it has sucked the life out of me!  I don't know if it's the baby growing or the baby chasing that has me so tuckered out...but the combination has me exhausted!  I have been really lucky in regards to sickness...while I'm nauseous often, I'm rarely ever sick.  I haven't had any cravings other than ice water and spicy foods such as cactus cuts or jalapeno chips!  Definitely not the cereal and root beer I craved with Jackson!  I have no idea if my gut says boy or girl because it changes every day!  It just gives us something to look forward to learning!

We had an ultrasound today and June was having a ball trying to pin down our lil steam roller to get a measurement!  I guess it was more into rolling and turning than letting her do her job!  We were able to get a measurement of 12 weeks, 4 days - and today we are 12 weeks, 3 days pregnant --- so pretty bang on!  The heartbeat was a healthy 170 bpm.

Truthfully, Moose is down for a nap and Trevor is working in the garage, so this Mama is going to lay down!  I am looking forward to the adventures that lie ahead!

today

Today we had a really busy day.  We did haircuts in the morning, then we had swimming this afternoon, and we went early so Moose could play in the pool and river fist!  Big Hit!  Then we played in the indoor playground and Moose found a firetruck that he LOVED.  Then dinner and an early bed :)  What a day full of playing and fun!

On another note, last night we had my dad over for a bbq and Jackson LOVES my dad.  I told him to go look for Grandpa at the front door and he stood at the window waiting.  Then Grandpa came in the back and Jackson went over to him...he then said 'Grandpa' in his own way!  He waffles between "Ga-Pa" or "Pa-Pa" the latter being easier for him.  Today he was looking for "Pa-Pa" out the window again while calling his name.  So cute!

We're Back

 I know I have been MIA for almost a week - but I promise to make an effort to get back to blogging.  It's been a bit crazy and I have been swimming in photo shoots and edits.  It's been a bit mad.  I am beyond grateful to have Trevor home for a full week this time.  However, I am sad to say goodbye to him Thursday for yet another overtime shift.  I hear it's the last one, but we will see.

Anywhos...this is Moose being very cute yesterday at lunch.  He was thoroughly enjoying his pasta and watermelon!

Monster in the House!

Today was a pretty crappy day.  I wasn't feeling well so Moose and I stayed home all day, which I hate!  I felt so stir crazy!  Anyways...it had a happy ending because Mooses costume for Halloween arrived in the mail!  Of course I had to try it on and of course I had to take photos!  He was sooo funny!

 This is what it looks like when there's a monster running loose in your yard!
