Stocking Up...

So, with the anticipation of our little one, I have been stocking up on diapers- Parker still has about 13 packs left and so I have been getting them for this little girl- I also have 2 rite aid vouchers for free diapers and I have enough Huggies Enjoy the Ride Rewards points to get 2 more packs of diapers :) Here is what we have so far-

27 packs of diapers- 3 newborn, and the majority are size one and size 2- all in all we have 1022 diapers so far- and where am I putting them? Anywhere I can- currently most are on the top of the washer and dryer counter- once the basement gets done (except for the bathroom- that is not on the list of priorities) I can probably store them there because right now the crib, mattress, jumper and such are in there- once her room is done, it will be cleared out :)

August Cont...

So, more pictures from August! Yay! I took a lot and blogged very little-

Got sheetrock for the basement- Parker was SOOO fascinated by the truck that brought the sheetrock

Justin the guy that brought the sheetrock (He is in YM with Joe)

let Parker (with help from Joe) drive the forklift part- Parker doesn't show it but he LOVED it and kept talking about it afterwards

I think Joe liked it too :)

Yay for Sheetrock and the price paid :)

Last time at the $2.00 Tuesday at Thanksgiving Point- Guess where we went- The farm!

Parker got to ride the BIG horse

The Super cute baby cow!

We had so much fun on our outings! Parker loved to tell his daddy when he got home what we have been doing during the days. Lately it has been calling and picking up materials, etc for the basement, but we are getting ready to insulate and on Monday start sheetrocking!!

August

WOW! Is it really the end of August already?!?! Where did the time go- it seems like time is flying lately, especially with this little girl coming and all of the work that needs to be done before she gets here- like finish the basement and then complete her room, just to name a couple of the things on the list of like a hundred. So here is what has been going on~

Thanksgiving Point Gardens- We went with Grandma Twyman, Aunt Kristen, Genavie and Mason, and Aunt Eliza and Della

Finished the bathroom! We will eventually get a nicer mirror and we are still getting the shower curtain and towels, but the majority is DONE!

More Thanksgiving Point Gardens!

I popped...

Ya, so I totally hate that phrase, but I think it has happened- up until a couple weeks ago you couldn't hardly tell that I was pregnant- well, that has changed- and especially when she decides that she wants to be more on the outside as opposed to the inside she makes me even bigger- I took this picture when she was moving all around and so I could tell that she was on the outer part- Sometimes I am not as big and that is when I don't feel as fat :)

So ya, just ignore all the ridges in my shirt- it is supposed to be that way :) And I also got her bedding too- I want the colors to be pink, brown, tan and cream- and I found the perfect bedding. I am not huge on purple- clothes it is ok, but not for a room, and I didn't want flowers or butterflies- I want a very girly room without the flowers :)

SUPER cute! I will adjust some things about it - like the valance, and I am not getting the silly round circles to put on the wall. The wall will have cream panelling with the pink paint above. Here name will be in lettering that will include darker pinks and chocolate. with ribbon. I am really wanting to do a super cute girly room. It will be fun- especially when it gets done :)

Are you KIDDING me?!?!

So I guess we will need to start looking for more of these~

For this new little one!

A sweet little girl is coming into our family due 1/1/11 and we are SOOOO excited! 

I was so sure this was a little boy, but was fine with either (and still am) but I guess I didn't realize how much I thought this baby was a boy until she said this was a girl and I was SHOCKED- Still am, but super excited! As of today I am 20 weeks, 2 days and we have told VERY few people. We had some sadness earlier in the year and so I was more hesitant to tell people, but then it ended up with me trying to see how long I could not tell people- but now we are just excited and want to tell everyone, plus I will not feel like I have to hid my baby bump :) I will tell you- this is one ACTIVE little girl, I have been able to feel her since about 16 weeks and she just keeps on moving! At our ultrasound she was perfect, right on schedule, about 10 oz and I am so happy! I am not exactly sure what I will do with a girl because I am so used to Parker and we have so many cute little clothes and bows, and hairbands etc to get but we are looking so forward to it! 

Bathroom

So, we are getting around to the wainscoting- last step!

After the 1st coat of paint (will probably need 3) then it will need the glaze and then the polycrylic. Yes, there are a lot of steps, and then I will paint the trim white.

Thanksgiving Point

We went to Thanksgiving Point Farm Country for their $2.00 Tuesdays yesterday- we didn't last week because that was when we started potty training, but since that is on hold.... we went to Thanksgiving Point instead :) Much more fun- yes, much more fun. We got there when it opened and there was a line to get in, but not too bad, and the wait for the pony ride was about 25 minutes, but compared to last year, that was MUCH better. Parker LOVED riding the pony last year, but this year he rode it all by himself with OUT me walking along side and he was in heaven!  He actually reached down and pet the pony and he was just so excited. Afterwards he loved telling me that he rode the pony all by himself. He also LOVED feeding the goats and also unlike last year when I bought the corn to feed the goats and Parker fed all of one goat leaving me with a bunch of corn, the corn this year was completely gone and given out by Parker, he was so excited to feed them.

Waiting in line to ride the pony.

More Waiting.

I thought that the last rule was AwEsOmE!

Really- Adults- we should not be fighting over a pony ride... :)

Look how happy!!!

Riding all by himself.

Parker LOVED the baby goats- there were 3!!

We had so much fun at the farm! We look forward to going and spending some extra special mommy- Parker time.
