Hydro Fair: Night 2

We headed back to the Hydro Fair Friday night to spend the rest of our tickets. We rode the ferris wheel first thing! Cayson rode the airplanes and cried the whole ride until the last 30 seconds or so when he got used to it. He also did the carousel and played a few games.

Hydro Fair: Night 1

We spent our Thursday night at the annual Hydro Free Fair. It was a great night with great friends! The weather was perfect and it was not crowded at all (a perk of going Thursday night). This year, our little daredevil was a sceeeerdy cat. He bawled on the airplanes and would only ride the cars with our friend, Kourtney. He wouldn’t sit on a horse on the carousel either- only the bench. He was thrilled to ride the train and ferris wheel.

Cayson was Kourtney’s little side-kick for the night. He chose her to ride all the rides with him… and she as such a good sport.

Cayson and Hudson – he promptly lifted his shirt to show her his belly. Yes, he’s a classy Oklahoman.

Belly Pictures!

Yesterday marked 20 weeks! We’re halfway there, baby! We got a few belly pictures today – the first ones we’ve taken this time around. I think I was barely showing at this point during my last pregnancy. Oh, how things change!

Cayson insisted on getting in on the action

Cayson wanted to do a before picture…

And after – sucking his gut in.

By the way, he does think he has a baby in his belly. When you ask him where the baby is, it’s a 50-50 chance he points to Mommy’s belly. The other 50, it’s his belly.

Belated post…

I am so far behind on posting! These are pictures from last Sunday… yes, a week ago! Just a few more swim pictures… because I can’t help myself!

My dad was baptized at our church’s annual lake baptism- he wasn’t ever baptised after he was saved as an adult. It was a fun time! Following the baptism, we ate hotdogs and watermelon. Cayson was in hog heaven eating two of his favorite foods!

Counting to Ten

Some of you may have already seen this video from Facebook but thought I'd post it here anyway... along with my joke... Cayson will not say seven when counting... he skips right past it. I say he's scared of 7 since seven eight nine. Yes, I'll be here all week. :)

Baby Girl Pretties!

I’ve been browsing a few of my favorite etsy sellers and other sites that I’ve bookmarked for adorable cuties for little girls… I’m nearly drooling over all the pretties!

This tutu and picture is sooooo precious!

PINK is My Favorite Color!

It looks like we will be shopping for PINK in the upcoming months!!!! We are utterly excited to meet our daughter after seeing her precious face at the ultrasound.

This ultrasound was quite opposite of Cayson’s… Baby J did not cooperate at all for the ultrasound. Legs were crossed tight hiding the little bottom and anatomy. Hand were covering the face making it impossible to get a good profile pictures. Finally, at the end of the ultrasound, Baby J moved it’s legs just enough for the tech to get a peek at its anatomy determining we are expecting a sweet (I hope) girl.

Now it’s name picking time! We have a couple names in the works but nothing is decided yet.

Love My Swim Bug

Cayson and I enjoyed a swim afternoon on Wednesday. I worked with him on floating on his back. He looks like a little pro even with his swimmies on!

IMG_5690 IMG_5693

He’s getting so good at swimming and kicking his legs to get where he wants to go. He has impressed me with his fearlessness of water!

IMG_5694 IMG_5695

He still loves to jump in over and over and over…. when wearing his swimmies, he goes all the way under water and comes back up grinning from ear to ear.

I love my water bug!!!!
