About Time!

Hey all! Apparently the news of me having a girl knocked me off my feet so much that I haven't been able to post for literally 3 months. What, pray tell, have I been doing this whole time you ask? Here my friend, is a brief synopsis:

• Uploading and cataloging old pictures onto the computer- This is one from when my husband was in the hospital and had to have surgery 4 years ago. I wouldn't necessary call it fun times, but it was definitely bonding and memorable times.
• Working in the yard and trying our green thumbs at gardening. Here are Cal and Sean raking up a storm.
• Pet trial and error- we had a kitten for a few days but found out Calvin was allergic, since then we've had 5 different dog breeds stay at our house. We're dog testing for when we get one someday WAY down the road.
• Painting our bathroom over Memorial Day weekend- here is the "after" color. I call it "Calypso Teal"- I mixed about 3 different colors to come up with this and absolutely love my Carribean bathroom.
• Visiting family in Idaho in May. Calvin had a blast with his cousin and my family and I got to be a fun pregnant bridesmaid for my BFF since 4th grade! We have a saying that we'll be friends until Dolly Parton goes flat, Pink Flamingos turn green or Niagra Falls runs dry and so far none of those have happened. It was a great wedding.

• Potty training- need I say more? My life pretty much revolves around it now. Those who know me know I carry a portable potty seat everywhere we go and I scout out the bathroom within 3 milliseconds of arriving anywhere. I even had Calvin use the port-a-potties at the Olympic trials- thanks to his seat it was much more sanitary. I think his seat is my new best friend. (I highly recommend it to anyone potty shopping- it's made by Baby Bjorn)

• Hosting my immediate family reunion here and the beach. I love my big fun family and I love that all 14 of us could crash here at our house. The bad part was that 1/2 of us ended up with stomach flu 1/2 the time and couldn't stomach some of the yummy food we tried to make. The great part was that we had great weather and an awesome time together.
• Last but not least...growing a baby! By the end of a long day, all I want to do is put my feet up and sit in front of the fan. Sitting in front of the computer just sounds like torture, hence- no posting! But here is a picture of most of us who are currently pregnant, in order of due date. Our babies will have lots of friends.Well that is my life in a nutshell. The latest is that I only have 7 weeks left of being pregnant, albeit the hottest 7 weeks of the year. But we are SO excited to meet this wiggle-worm girl in a few months.

I can't wait to read what all of my friends have been up to lately. Happy blogging!
