The Big TWO!!!

Happy Birthday to Brooks... Today is his 'official' birthday however we celebrated his birthday on Saturday with lots of family. As some of you know I have made each and every one of the boys' birthday cakes. I was running out of ideas when I came across an amazing website (http://www.coolest-birthday-cakes.com/kids-birthday-cakes.html) with tons and tons of ideas. This year for Brooks I made a robot cake. As you can see from the pictures - it was full of candy. Brooks had a fabulous time at his party - so much fun that he decided he wasn't going to need a nap. He has NEVER EVER done that in 2 years. He did crash once all of the guests were gone (@ 6:55pm) - but we only let that last for 5 minutes. I was pretty impressed - he was in a great mood all day. He got some awesome presents - that he has really enjoyed. Thanks to all for the wonderful gifts - like I said he has enjoyed them and will continue to get good use out of them. Where does the time go??? It's hard to believe that he is 2 years old already. He sure has quite the personality and attitude - way different than what Payton was ever like. It wouldn't be much fun if they were "identical".

Nothing New... Yet...

Well it's hard to believe that a month has gone by since I last posted on my blog page. We haven't done anything too exciting this last month - just our 'regular' summer events. Posted are pictures of some of the things that we (the boys') have been up to. From swimming lessons, to Aebleskiver Day's, the Lincoln County Fair, free swimming, fishing, and Dad's big salmon.
As for me I am on the count down of just over 5 weeks to go until we have our "what's said to be" the last addition to our family. My dr. will be possibly doing another ultrasound in a couple weeks to measure the baby. At 32 weeks I was measuring 35.5cm (instead of 32) - she said she would possibly induce a couple weeks earlier depending on the size. I will be game for that - if that's the case. I measured big with Brooks also - until week 36 and then it all evened out. So I don't want to get too excited.
