Birthday Post..a little late!

Last Wednesday our big boy turned 7! He woke up at 6 am that morning and proceeded to get everyone else up, too....needless to say he was excited!

We have opted to have a friends party every other year, but Wyatt did get to have someone over to play for the afternoon (our guest apparently wants to remain anonymous so we'll protect his privacy :)

And if anyone laughs at our cake, you'll be banned from the blog. seriously.

It's all about Legos this year and he got some great sets! This one is from Grammy.

They all worked together and after about 2 hours got it done!

Pregnancy update

I had a checkup with my midwife yesterday and everything is looking great! Baby is head down and although i'm only 32 weeks tomorrow, i'm measuring about 34 weeks. I've been measuring a little ahead for the most part, but not more than a week. So i'm preparing myself for a bigger baby...Wyatt was 8-2 and Natalie was 7-11 (a week early).

I have been extremely tired over the past week or two...not much is getting done around here and i'm okay with that (I think!). Someone recently told me that i'm probably more tired with this baby b/c of my age! Sheesh...I just turned 30. I didn't realize that I was old enough for my 'age' to play a role in much!

The kids are getting really excited and once Christmas is over I know they will be even more so. And i'm sure I will be, too!

Grace and Nolan

I thought i'd put some pictures up of Grace and Nolan...i'm guessing Suzanne may not email many out. She doesn't send them to me, I have to swipe them from her myspace :)

Cutting the Christmas Tree!

On Saturday we took a trip to our favorite tree farm to find our Christmas tree. The past 2 years we did artificial so we were excited to jump back into this fun tradition. The kids were so excited, and I was until we were out in the freezing wind and light snow.

Wyatt actually got to help cut this year. The last time we did this the tree fell on top of him when Ben cut it down!

30 Weeks!

Today makes 30 weeks pregnant for me! I woke up this morning and realized just how close we are to being a family of 5! Of course we have to get through Christmas and then it's crunch time to get ready for baby to be here!

Speaking of Christmas....because of a mix-up on an order that I placed a few weeks ago with Target, they were nice to give me a $25 online gift card. I have been really struggling with what to spend it on (had to be something good, right?). I came across this and immediately ordered it! Natalie loves the playmobil stuff that she has and I can't wait for this to come in!

As long as the weather cooperates (and Ben doesn't snag a big deer this morning that could distract him) we are heading out later to cut our Christmas tree! I'll share pictures for sure!
