Last couple of weeks continued

My internet shut down before I could finish my last post of what has been going on in the past couple of weeks. My Mom, Erin and her kids came down to visit during their spring break. The traveling went really well for the most part. The kids were troopers and made the 12 hour drive. We had good weather for the most part. It rained a little on Saturday but other than that is was sunny and warm. The kids got to play outside a lot and went swimming in the lake which was cold but they did not care. We have a pool at our complex that they swam in for 5 min. before we got kicked out. Apparently it wasn't open yet but they never covered it or anything so I thought it was open year around. They need to get a permit every year and that is not until May. So we were bummed, but Pete's dad has a condo on the lake that has a beach area so we went over there instead. It was a busy few days but it was wonderful having family down here. We went to some parks, Jake went rock climbing and got a private viewing of the Nascar track. So it was a good spring break for him. All the kids played well together. The push car was a big hit. Lindsey pushed Pj and Ty in it all weekend long. It was fun to see PJ interact with them since he normally does not have many kids to play with. It tired him out and it took a few days to get caught up on his sleep again. I am glad that it worked out for them to come down and see where we live. Thanks again for making the trip Erin and Mom. Hopefully you can do it again soon.

PJ's first booboo of the summer

We were outside playing and we do not have a lot of grassy areas for PJ to play in. So he has to play on the asphalt. He was going after his ball, feel and hit his head pretty good. It was one of those that you could hear the thud and it sounds worse than it actually is. Pete was right next to him when he did and decided that PJ can not play on the asphalt anymore. I was like good luck with that one since there is no where else for him to play. He got a scratch on his nose and that was about it. One of many scratches to come.



My last few weeks

I will have to do this in a few post since a lot has been going on in the past few weeks. As you can see we got out king size bed. We bought it from a guy that worked for Pete. He was only down here for about 7 months and thought he needed a king size for some reason. So when he moved back to MI he didn't need it anymore so we bought it. He lived in the same complex and we did so they just had to carry it across the parking lot.


PJ thought dad needed help. It was the first time he had a screw driver and he knew what to do with it. What a smart kid.

He had to try out the box spring while the guys were getting the mattress
Then of course he needed to be the first to try it out.

Looks like he approves!

I'm so excited!!!

Well some exciting things happened in the last few days for me. I went to the Doc. on Monday and found out that I am measuring two weeks early and at my 20 week ultrasound I was measuring a week ahead so it could be possible that we might have our baby earlier than we thought. I am trying not to get too excited (since PJ was almost a week late) but since we are not positive of when this child was conceived it could be possible.
Also exciting news, our friends Tim and Mandy had their baby on Sunday. They had a beautiful baby girl and they named her Natalee Kay. Sorry but I forgot how much she weighed, I believe 7 something. I can not wait to meet her, it was hard for me to not be able to go visit them in the hospital but I will see her in a few weeks when I come home one last time.
Also, my mom, sister and her three kids are coming down to visit us next week for a few days. Erins kids are on spring break so she thought that they would come see where we live. I am so glad that it worked out and that my mom is able to travel with them. They are driving so hopefully all goes well. So now I have something to look forward too next week.
Petes mom came down this week for a few days as well, so it has been nice having family come visit. Anyone else is more than welcome to come visit.
Also, one last exciting news, we are finally getting a KING size bed. I have been wanting one since we got married but we just have not gotten one. For any of those few people that have slept in the same bed as Pete, know that he takes up a lot of it and he tends to stab you with his toenails. I swear he sharpens a point on them just to stab me. Gross I know but he thinks its funny. So this weekend we will both have all the room we need when we get our bed. I believe either Friday or Saturday will be that glorious day.
So that is all our exciting news that has been happening down here in NC.
