I'm in a Mom's Bunco group and we meet up to play once a month. It's so much fun and such a simple game it allows for chatting while you play. Our last Bunco night my friend Molly couldn't find a sitter so Ryan offered to watch her daughter Maddie. Our Bunco group meets at 7:00PM which meant Ryan was going to have to manage to get both kids down (Hudson and Maddie are 3-1/2 months apart). Around 8:00PM that night, I get a text message from Ryan saying "Done and done...let me know if you all need tips". Hilarious and he even managed to get pictures of the kiddos in the tub! At least one of us is prepared for 2 kids in the house!!

Ryan the Great
Bump Progress
I'm approaching 34 weeks this Thursday! (Is anyone else loving the funny sayings on the count down on top of the blog page as much as I am?!?!) I wish I could still say I feel great, but I don't. I hate complaining when I still have a ways to go! I am having major sciatic nerve issues on my right side. It's starts just above my right butt check and is shooting into my hamstring. My days of instructing Stroller Strides are rapidly coming to an end and it's making me very sad. I bought a pregnancy belt last week which was helping at first, not so much anymore. I have an appointment with a chiropractor tomorrow afternoon and am hoping that will help!! Other than that (haha!) I do feel great. The weather has been perfect (70's) and I have yet to get too swollen in the summer heat. Everything sounded great with baby girl's heart beat at my 32 week appointment and I am still measuring "on time".

Hudson's BIG Boy Bed
We are in the process of switching around 3 rooms right now to get ready for baby girl. Stay with me...Hudson's nursery is now going to be the office, the old office will become the nursery, and the guest bedroom is now Hudson's new room. We finally have everything in the correct room and Hudson has been sleeping in his new FULL size bed for 3 weeks. That's right, we put him in a full, not a toddler bed, a full!!! He transfered like a champ and all the stressing I have been doing about putting my 1-1/2 year old in a FULL bed was for nothing. Here is a picture from his first night, so small in his new big bed. Sigh...
I've set it up like it's a big crib with big pillows as bumpers. Not sure if that's easier on him or me ;)
Once the rooms are complete, I will post pictures.

4th of July
Our 4th of July was quiet this year. We had our friends the Mullens over for a BBQ and were in bed before fireworks (how did we get so old, haha!). We also celebrated Izzy's 2nd birthday which is July 6 with cupcakes. My friend Krissy wanted Hudson to have the blue one, thanks Krissy. It made for a fun diaper the next day and Krissy is lucky I don't have a phone with a camera otherwise she would have received a nice picture from me ;)
Izzy and Huddy, getting so big!!
Happy Birthday Izz!
No hands necessary
Alexie's First Birthday
Here are more pictures from Alexie's first birthday. We went to a park near my sister's house and the kids had a great time. I can't believe Lexi is one already! My brother and sister are both done having kids so this was the last first birthday I will share with a niece or nephew. I was glad that Ryan, Hudson, and I went down to Portland the night before the party so I could help my sister get ready. She was very stressed out and about to throw the cake in the garbage as she hated how it was turning out, but I managed to salvage it. We needed our sister-in-law Sarah (aka Martha Stewart) to really make the cake something special, but I think I did ok if I do say so myself!
Ready for party fun!
Lexi LOVES her Uncle Ryan
Ready for cake
We got Lex this little table for her birthday
The salvaged cake!
Birthday Madness
June is a very busy birthday month for us starting with my brother Ted's birthday June 4. I don't have any pictures from his birthday, sorry Ted!! We also celebrated our nephew Cole's 2nd birthday and my mother-in-law's birthday on June 21. Both share a birthday, Di was so excited when my sister-in-law Sarah had Cole early and they could share a birthday!! Then came our niece Alexie's 1st birthday on June 30. Phew, lots of cake, lots of fun :)
Happy 2nd Birthday Cole!
Happy Birthday Di!
Happy 1st Birthday Alexie!
