Baby Boy #3

So I have 1 1/2 weeks until this baby will join our family. The boys are super excited and talk about it all the time. I'm a little nervous. Not only to have 3 boys in our house, but this little one is also breeched. We are schedule to go to the hospital on May 12th for a version or a c section. A version is when the Dr. pushes on your belly and tries to flip the baby in the right direction. I have heard that that is really not very fun and you can come out black and blue. If it works (its a 50/50 chance) then they will induce me. If it doesn't work they will do a c section.YUCK! I don't really like either option we will do what we have to. Wish us luck. We are super excited to meet this little one in a little bit.

Easter 2011

We have had so much rain here (well we do live in Portland) but they have been saying that it has been one of the most wet Aprils ever in Portland. May I just say that I am so ready for summer to come to Portland. But we did get to have a beautiful Easter weekend. We had 3 days of sun with a little rain. Which means that we we able to go outside and have some fun. We first went to the Tulip Farm with some good friends. We both have boys and we knew that they would love to go tromping through the mud and playing on the old fashioned trackers while we looked a the field of beautiful tulips. And they did. I don't even think they realized that there were even flowers there. It turned out to be a really fun and beautiful day.

We also were able to do an Easter egg hunt. Its kind of sad but Bradley had never done a real Easter egg hunt(every Easter has been rainy). I think he had more fun hiding them with me then finding them. I love Easter egg hunts.




Easter day we did the normal Easter baskets, decorating eggs, and church. I had totally forgot to get the rest of the boys Easter clothes together (there ties and shoes for Wes ). That morning I was able to whip up some ties and had Wes were some really old shoes but it worked out. The Easter bunny also brought the boys stuffed Shaun the Sheep toy(a British kid show). My boys love watching that show. I'm pretty sure the Easter bunny had to order them from china because he/she couldn't find them anywhere in the US.

Orrin's Turn

Orrin always enjoys the month between my birthday and his, because for those few weeks I am older than him and he really likes to rub it in. So I was really glad when his birthday came around not only because he was turning 30 also but because the boys and I love to celebrate and show how much we love him.

I wanted to do lots of little suprises for him throughout the day but my favorite was putting up all these nice birthday wishes from our family. (thanks guys for your help)



Orrin loves sea food and I have made shrimp and scallops for his birthday for the last few years so I decided to add some crab leggs. The boys thought it was very interesting and had fun playing with the claw.

Thanks to a wonderful friend who watched the boys we had a nice dinner out just the two of us the weekend before. It had been a really long time since we had gone anywere just the two of us. It was super nice for the both of us.

We love you Orrin !!
