zoo time

If there was one thing I was determined to do while the Deweys were here was get them to the zoo!!! BSDewey is obsessed with zoos and was extremely disappointed at their last visit when is snowed in March and we didn't make it to the zoo.  

Well this time we made it. It was nice because we went on a Thursday and at one point I'm pretty sure we were the only ones there.  Do to nap schedules (and the boys will blame the girls for taking forever to get ready) we got there a little late and didn't get to see everything but I still think it was a good time.  Hopefully Bryan wasn't disappointed!

Nixon was also in for a treat, seeing as how this was his first trip to the zoo.  He loved it! ha

The seals behind us were awesome!  Making hilarious noises, waving and performing for us.  Sadly a week later one of them died :( 

This is the only pic I got of the Deweys...their freakin backs!  Really disappointed in myself for not capturing at least one front few of this cute fam! 

butt crack

birthday boy

Kash had a great birthday and was very spoiled!

I decided to go with a dog theme because Kash loves dogs!  Anytime he sees a dog he squeals/laughs and gets very excited.  It was fun to have all some of our friends and family over to celebrate our little boy's first year.

5 months later...

(don't mind my pink jacket clashing with the red curtains!)

...and I look like I've swallowed a cantaloupe. My weekly pregnancy emails actually said it's more like a 6" Subway sandwich now. I can't believe the baby is that big or how HUGE my stomach has gotten in the last few weeks (and I'm only half way there, yikes)!!! But I don't care how big the baby wants to get, okay that's a lie I do care, but as long as I'm not puking. So far the 2nd trimester has been a dream! I mean my body still reminds me that I'm carrying a little bambino around, but I feel so much better than I did the first four months of this adventure.

And the baby seriously moves all the time now and it is the coolest part of pregnancy thus far. I will just be going through my day, maybe talking to a co-worker and I will feel the baby kick, get so happy inside and totally zone out. I eventually come back to reality and pretend like I was totally listening. I love it--not the ignoring my co-workers part, the baby saying hi part. I love this little baby (have I said that already?!?!)!!! I keep wishing Blaine could feel the tiny kicks. I make him put his hand on my belly all the time to try and feel it, but I think we are going to have wait a little longer till he can feel the baby.

Next Friday we find out what it is. So place your bets now--boy or girl?? Loser has to change a dirty diaper!

mom's visit part II

Besides pretending to be Star Trek characters we also went horseback riding while my mom was here at place called Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs. While rainy and scary at times (my horse, Blue, felt the need to trip for no reason) it turned out to be so much fun. My mom's horse was a little slow and Blaine's horse was a little fast. Blaine kept getting in trouble for "letting" his horse run up little hills! ha
