Mother's Day

Mother's Day was a wonderful day. It started with waking up to my wonderful husband cooking me my favorite waffles with strawberries, strawberry syrup and whip cream! Yummy! Logan also enjoyed it very much so! Then it was off to church where it is always wonderful...despite my lacking capability of sitting comfortably for three hours now. Then we headed over to Bob and Diane's where Bobby, Garrett and Rueben prepared dinner for all of us. My mom and brother Bradley also came over to eat. Ma and Pa were also there too. It was a wonderful time and great food! Bradley finally go his tour of all of Bob's knives and guns (which he proceeded to take a thousand pics of!) Below are some shots that our dear friend Rueben took of the day.

Look at that wonderful Hubby! He cooks breakfast for me so often!

Logan waiting for his yummy waffles!

Mommy's delicous strawberry waffles!!!!!

That is one of his many smiles...

Diane decided to cop a feel on my big tummy!

We thought this would be a funny picture. Bobby has the unique ability to push his stomach out really far and look like he is pregnant. So we thought it would be funny to take a pic of our touching! Quite hilarious!

My man BBQing dinner! I love that guy!

A little too Quiet!

I don't know if this is him realizing that another baby is coming soon or it just looked like a relaxing place to lay! We recently brought the rocking chair, crib and bassinet out and I had noticed that it got a little too quiet. So I went looking for Logan and this is where I found him. All snuggled up in the bassinet. When I asked him what he was doing he replied "I'm the baby sleeping, this is Logans bed." Some other things he has done is...I will be sitting in the rocking chair and he will come to me with a blanket and say "You wanna rock the baby," and then proceeds to climb into my lap. I have also caught him climbing into the crib and saying that it was his bed and Cael can sleep in the big bed! Oh I can't wait to see how it will be when Cael gets here!!!! I am about 36 weeks (four weeks to go!) But I am so ready!!!! And it seems to be that Cael is too...He is head down and rearing to go! Hopefully he won't come out late!!!!

Aquarium of the Pacific

A little over a week ago on a friday that Bobby had off we decided to go down to the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach. We hadn't been there in a while and thought that Logan would enjoy it. Little did we know that I would need a wheelchair by the end!!! It was a lot of walking around! We also walked a mile to go eat at Famous Dave's BBQ....which was so good. It was a wonderful day and we had so much fun!

Oh and don't laugh at the narly prego pics of me...I look enormous!

Cael's Baby Shower

My baby shower was a couple of weeks ago (I know...and I'm just now posting it). I didn't take very many pics on my camera so this is all I had. It was a wonderful time, my good friend Crystal and my mom threw it for me. Let me tell you the food was delicious (brunch) and the games were a lot of fun. I got so many wonderful things. I am all set to go for little Cael which is very comforting. Now I can relax for the last 4 weeks! Thank you everyone for all the wonderful gifts!

Long Night!

Well Monday night was an experience for our little family. Earlier that day I noticed that Logan had started coughing and getting a runny nose, so I had given him some benedryl thinking that it would help. Boy was I wrong! Later that night, he wouldn't eat and was feeling very hot. And I mean hot!!! He started with a fever of 101.9, which I was worried but thought it wasn't too bad. Bobby came and gave him a blessing and I noticed that he was able to sleep a little better. But, about an hour after he started getting warmer and almost hallucinating while he tried to sleep. I took his temperature again and it was 105.2! I thought that I must have done it wrong but when I tried again it said 104.9! So I got worried, of course we had no tylenol or motrin. So I woke Bobby up (it was about 11:30pm) and I said that we needed to take him to the hospital. So he called the hospital and they said to go ahead give him the tylenol and motrin and bring him in. So we packed up and headed to the pharmacy. While Bobby was in getting the medication, Logan threw up all over himself! So Bobby came out and we had to take Logan's jammies off and wrap Bobby's sweatshirt around him. Luckily we were 2 minutes from the hospital. So we got there and hadn't even been able to give him the medicine yet.

So they checked us in (it was about 12am) and gave Logan the tylenol and motrin. They took his temperature and it was still 104. (They had to take it the not so pleasant way twice! Poor Logan he was so tramatized!) SO we then had to wait and the doctor said that he wanted to take an x-ray of his chest to see what was causing the fever. Poor Logan was dosing on and off and was so tired. So finally we went and they took x-rays of his chest, while he screamed and cried in the process. After the doctor came back and told us that Logan had some pnuemonia and a slight case of croup!!! I felt so bad for the little man he was just miserable! So they gave him his first dose of antibiotics and gave us the prescription. After one last measuring of the temperature (which finally went down to 100.5) They sent us home. We ended up leaving the hospital at about 3:30am!!! Luckily Logan passed out in the car and ended up sleeping pretty well that night. He has been on the antibiotics and yesterday his fever slightly came back up, but after an hour went back down. Today he is feeling much better, he just has a bad cough and runny nose and is slightly fatigued. He is eating which is good!

Bobby and I had to giggle in the end and thought well I guess you have to experience a hospital trip like that once with all of your kids!! Thankfully ours ended well!

Swords and Shields

For Bobby and Logan's Birthday, Grandpa Bob made these really cool shields and swords made out of wood for them. They are always doing sword fights so this makes it official! Aren't they awesome. They have so much fun. Logan's sword even came with a sheath that he can wear around his waist.....to fun!!!

Logan's Birthday Party

On Saturday the 10th we had a little get together party for Logan's 3rd Birthday. After my extravegant parties the past two years I decided to take it a little easy! Possibly because I'm 7 months pregnant! We had family and some close friends there and it was a good time. We hung out and ate some good food......Logan had a blast and got some wonderful gifts!

Logan was in Heaven with all those presents! He was waiting all day to open them!

He wouldn't put down that dragon from my mom!

Some more beach time!

Bobby has every other Friday off from work and luckily he had the Friday off the week of their birthday, so he really wanted to go to the beach and surf. Not to mention Logan loves to be at the beach too. Well the surf wasn't great but he went out anyways and caught a few. Logan and I chilled on the sand and watch. Logan loved to build sand castles with Daddy, and love to find the sand hills where he could run up and jump down them. It was a beautiful day to be at the beach. It was nice and sunny and warm. We got there early so we missed the spring break crowd, which was so nice!

I love this picture of these two!

My fit little skinny man!
