Family Time!

Matt and Mark.... or is it Mark and Matt?

Sunday the whole family arrived!!! Mark, Shelly, Kaitlyn, Madison, Keri, Grace, Casidy, and Jake. It has been wonderful so far. All the kids are at fun ages and getting along very well. The adults are behaving them selves as well. Thank goodness Matt finished the back yard before everyone came because this many children trapped inside would not be a pretty picture. We got a big blow up pool and water toys and have spent every day outside so far. It has been very nice. Dean, Sue and Jason will be here on Saturday to complete the family.
Little Logan is getting bigger. He officially is kicking my ribs now.... thats fun! I am trying to not think about what he will be kicking by the end of his incubation period. I am running out of room to give up (as you can see). Only 11.5 weeks left to go.

Matt is almost done with the second patio cover. Just some last minute painting and then it all comes together and just in the nick of time... it is suppose to be in the 80's next week!

The leaves finally came in on the tree so now the hammock is shaded... need I say more!

We got to watch the kids last week for staff retreat. It is something that Matt and I look forward to doing every year. The girls are really into playing dress up right now so of course I had to whip out the "big guns" and let them parade around in my wedding dress. They were in heaven! Odie was showing his enthusiasm for the performance, as was Jake... woohoo! I loved it!

Matt surprised me the other day and took me to Color Me Mine so we could make a gift for Logan. We picked out this adorable hippo piggy bank and he painted one side and I painted the other. Naturally, painting it became a competition (as do most projects we do together) to see who could pain their side better. I wish I could say it was my side but Matt pulled out his martha stewart gene on me. WHAT EVER MATT! I bet I can clean an 90 year old mans poopie better than you can... so there!

The boys after a hard days work.

6 MONTHS AND A WEEK!!!

Ok... it was all fun and games until I realized my belly button resembled a chinese eye!! Sooo not cute. What on earth am I going to do for the next couple of months? I feel big and uncomfortable now... what about three months from now? I cant even see the bottom of my stomach anymore. Seriously!!

On a more exciting note... the little man is big enough now that I can feel him on both side of my belly at the same time and some times my belly is lopsided. I absolutely love feeling him move around in there. I wonder what he is thinking about sometimes..."ok lady, enough with the fiber! Space is limited in here."

We are sooooo excited to meet him. I hope he looks like his daddy!!!!!!!!!
