This is soooooo not cute any more!!!

Well, Logan is growing as you can clearly see above. He is also so active that I fear for Matt and my sanity come this July. In honor of keeping my page G rated I might not post any more "green tank top" photos. We'll see. It is kinda funny though. What on earth made me think I would fit in this outfit the entire pregnancy? For some reason Matt still tells me he thinks I am attractive. I think it has something to do with the "other" parts of me that have GROWN. (my feet... duh... what were YOU thinking) This is such a fun stage of the pregnancy right now. Matt loves to sit and feel him dancing around. Matt just corrected me.....His boy isn't dancing, he is building.

In the next day or two we will post some new pictures of matt's salsa garden, the back yard, and logans room in progress. Until next time...

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!!!!!!!!!

Yet another project...

Before... what were we thinking?

After... no more nasty plants, no more RV cover, coi pond (or so they said), crab grass, dividing fence and on and on!

For all of you who have been wondering why Matt is always busy... here is a visual to help you understand! The back yard is a totally different place now. I love being back there! Hopefully next summer Matt and his son can play in the back yard instead of work... I guess we will just have to wait and see.

Projects.....

I tired to post theses pictures a couple of weeks ago but my computer was on strike and refused to cooperate... or may be it was user error... anyways.


Odie boy.... just being cute!

Russ... listening to baby!

The Hammock... It's a trap! Me, Matt and the dogs all curled up together on it the other day to try it out and just like that, an hour was gone...POOF! This thing shoud have come with a warning..."you are getting very sleepy". It sure is beautiful though. Matt is so good. Wait 'till you see his next project.

OH BOY !

I mentioned a while back that I thought it would be fun to have a hammock in the backyard.... the above picture is my oh so loving husband slaving away to make me a custom one!!! I cant wait. This June when I am HUGE and swollen and tired... you will know where to find me.

"Logan's" (a name we are thinking of) closet is slowly filling up. Yes, those are little fire boots on the floor!! So stinkin' cute.

We are in week 21 now and Matt and I FINALLY felt him kick a couple of days ago. Just like that he went from merely a ''belly bump" to a tiny little person. Sometimes he is moving so much, I would swear he is building a fort in there. I wonder where he gets it from? I love it!!
