so this is me being really lazy and trying to post a bunch of pictures at once=)

Big kid stuff

Noah has been wanting to take off his training wheels for awhile now, so this weekend we finally had the time to do it. He was so excited=) Adam got him all suited up with helmet (actually my old helmet, which fits him perfectly, our kids have big heads, not something I want to focus on right now...), Adam's old biking gloves and knee and elbow pads, safety first=)

Adam ran around the sidewalk with him about eight times and got quite the workout, he was slightly nauseous afterwards=)

The next day they went out again and he did it on his own! very exciting... but kind of sad for mom to watch, he looked like such a big kid.
He looks so happy=)

Round 1

ok, i know i'm a little biased as his mom, but I think our paintings have reached a new level of awesomeness=)

this one is a volcano and a pteradactyl!

Playing at the park with our friend, Blake. This thing they were climbing on was supposed to be a giant spiderweb and they thought that was really cool=)

So here's an ultrasound pic of baby boy #3 who will be arriving before we know it! This is a profile view of his little face, so sweet=) I somehow never got around to posting any pics from our first ultrasound, so this is from one that we just had a couple weeks ago, the pictures weren't quite as good as the first one because he is so much bigger now! The good news is that the baby measured two weeks further along than we thought, basically moving my due date up to the end of August. Two words: woo hoo! I am so ready! I am trying hard to savor these last few weeks with the boys before everything changes with baby and before Noah starts back to school every morning for pre-K (sniff, sniff) but I'm gettting so uncomfortable that it is hard to do much of anything, just a few more weeks!

We went to the fireworks on Sunday night, I think this is the first time that we have taken the boys to an official fireworks display? The main place where they light them off here is right out by our old house (for those of you who know where that is=) so everyone just parks on the highway out there and we did the same. The boys and Adam got up on top of the van to watch, but we all ended up back in the van in our seats with the windows rolled up and the a/c on by the time it started, too many mosquitoes (in my opinion this is definitely the way to watch fireworks=) but we ended up having a perfect view from our van and pulled out just as the finale was finishing and beat the traffic rush, success!

entertaining themselves=)
