Baby pictures

I had my follow-up ultrasound a couple weeks ago and everything looked great. Here's some of the pictures I got from it. Amber scanned them for me because my scanner is not working. Aaron is gone and that always means that something won't be working and this time it happened to be the scanner! So thanks Amber!

Seriously, this little boy is going to be a mini-me of Brady! I feel like I already can picture what he will look like because these pictures are just so similar to the ultrasounds pics when I was pregnant with Brady.

Looks like he will have Daddy's feet-and Brady's too! I can't be sure about the hook toe yet though!! :)

From the back with his arm up over his head. Brady used to sleep with both arms up over his head when he was a newborn.

This is a 3-D close up of his face. That's his elbow on the left that was right up in his face the whole time during the ultrasound. This is the one that really makes me see Brady's features-the nose, cute little open mouth, chin, forehead....it's just crazy to see all of the similarities!

We still don't have names we both really like/agree on yet but we still have a couple months before we have to decide.

In other news, Aaron comes home this week!!!!!!!

Breakfast with the Village People

I had to share this photo because these 2 boys are just too cute! Tolson was over here the other morning and they were eating breakfast at the little table together. And everyone knows that breakfast wouldn't be complete without a hat! Now all we need is the Indian, the sailor and police man or something like that......

Oh my belly! Part 2

Ok, I know I've gotten huge these days Brady but really?? Oh well, he's still as cute as can be and I thought I should post this anyway! I found it on my camera and I guess I forgot to download it and include it in the other pics I posted from our trip! What a little comedian!

Visit to the Wendt Family Farm

My parents have friends that own a farm right on the outskirts of town where they live. It is a beautiful property and they love having visitors! They were kind enough to show the kids a great time and we had beautiful weather too!

Standing on top of the little mountain for the goats

They each got turns riding and steering the tractor and they both got a ride on the horse as well

My dad put his cowboy hat on them so they could be a real cowboy and cowgirl! So cute!

I don't know if Sadie was that excited about the horse-but then again, she makes that face ALL the time!

Ava loved singing to the baby chicks and ducks........

while Brady loved wrangling all the cats!

They even got to gather a couple eggs from the chicken coup.....

and got to eat them for breakfast the next morning!

Thanks George and Jeannie for a fun afternoon!!!

Random pictures

So I think after this post I am caught up with all the pictures from our trip. These are just the rest of the ones I have that are random and I don't have enough of any of them to make a full post so they are all getting thrown together! And I stole some pictures from various people's Facebook pictures and Walgreens albums to complete this post as well! Thanks guys!

For being boy and girl cousins, these 2 sure have a great time together!

Brady just relaxing and watching TV with Grandpa

Sadie at her birthday luau! Happy 1st Birthday Sader Tater!

Me and Brady at the luau-Aunt Melissa gave him a cute hat to wear too!

Mom Mom Joyce with 2 of her 4 great grand babies. We may be alright with baby #2 on the way-look how sweetly Brady is stroking Brinley's face and trying to give kisses at the same time! He told me the other day after we got back here to AZ that he wanted to go back to see Brinley. He really loves her and was pretty sweet to her most of the time!

Brady and Ava with my Grandma (2 of 20-something great grandkids!) which we also got to visit. They played with some of the same toys we remember playing with as kids. It's kind of cool to see it all come full circle!

Look at the cutest little family EVER!!! Mike and Lauren with baby Brinley after her blessing at church. Seriously......did she just have that baby? She looks fabulous!

Aunt Erica with her little cuties!

Ava and Brady trying out their new 3-D glasses and books

I haven't been very good about getting very many pictures with Grandmas and Grandpas and I'm not sure why. So sorry about that and we'll have to do better next time! Brady misses all of you already and is talking about our next visit!

Surprise Mother's Day Pics

My sister and I had to be sneaky to get these pictures done for my Mom for Mother's Day, but we pulled it off! We got some great shots of Ava, Brady and Sadie at this place near my sister's house that's some kind of historical Lincoln log cabins and farm houses. It took a lot of work by Melissa, her babysitter Kendra and I to get a couple that were good enough to use. Sadie was kind of the wild card because she didn't want to stay in the picture. We would pose the 2 older ones and then put her in and have to snap the picture before she ran out of it!
And if you see the expressions on her face-that's her normal cute little scrunchy face she always makes!

This one captures all of their personalities so well.

These 2 cousins always have such a great time together!

Cute sister picture!

Needless to say, my Mom LOVED the photos! Love you Mom and your cute grandbabies love you too!

Oh my belly!

So here's a picture of me and my baby belly. This is me at 23 weeks!

I haven't taken that many because no one has been around at home to take one for me. But Lauren was kind enough to help me take this one.

I remembered taking one with Brady at about the same time-22 weeks and I couldn't believe the difference. Here is is:

But I do feel the difference! This time the baby is sitting so low and farther back so I feel it everyday in my hips and back. With Brady, look how high I was carrying!

I am over half way done but I still have a long time to carry this baby! So baby, if you're listening: please try and see if you could move up just a bit for me. It's bad enough to carry it that low but the constant bladder kicking is starting to get a bit annoying! Thanks! Love you!
