Day at Como

Brenda, Corey, Anna, and Ryan made a spontaneous trip up here today to see our new place and to take the kiddos to Como Zoo. It was PACKED! I was hoping that with the State Fair being right down the street, that maybe the zoo wouldn't be busy, but it definately was! Once we actually found a parking spot it turned out to be a GREAT day.

Here's some pics...obviously!





I loved the giraffes. Did you know that they never sit?! What a horrible thing! These guys and the gorillas stole the show for me.


Brenda and Anna--Brenda looking very "Kate Goslin-ish", no?


Bad picture of us, but at least it's a picture!




So, it was a fun way to spend a Sunday. It's such a nice zoo, and since it's "free", you really can't go wrong. I can't wait to be able to go back in a year with a 9 month old baby--wow! :)

4th

Another Monday. Friday is never far away. Have I mentioned how the weeks fly by? Jeepers.

So, the especially good thing about THIS Friday is that we get to find out if baby is a boy or girl. Looks like most of you agree with me that it's a girl. :) It's funny though, because I am SUPER convinced that it's a girl and will seriously fall over if it isn't; however, I had originally been hoping for a boy. So, I don't think that I dreamed up this idea about it being a girl. It really is one. Pretty sure. Luckily, Ryan will have another 20 weeks to prepare himself for this fact come Friday. ha. I think I'll try to go away for the weekend.

This past weekend we headed back to LaX. We had a grad party for our friend Jeff who graduated from med school and then spent a lot of time with my fam. Brenda and Corey and the kiddos came down so we did food, fireworks, and the whole nine yards. Sunday Ryan got his grandma's pontoon boat and we took the fam out on the Mississipp. Pictures to come when I feel like getting them off my camera.

Weekends are great, but they are SOOOO tiring. I absolutely dread the drive (ride) back to MN after being in LaX for the weekend. Sundays are made for napping....not driving. Ew.


New update pic of belly yesterday too. People are starting to notice. One person who didn't know i was pregnant asked if I was, so lucky her that she was right! I'm half way there! 20 weeks!

Happy Sweet 16 Little Ryan!

OK. So he's only 4, but I definitely can see this picture in the paper on his 16th birthday. Hahaha.

Sprinkler fun

Too cold for running through the sprinkler? Never fear. That's why rain coats were made, obviously. :)

Done!

Finally. After many mishaps, I have the pics uploaded. Phew. Turns out that of the 600 pics on my camera, not TOO many were applicable of baby-to-be. Mostly just of the Easter reveals right HERE.

Now for a few randoms of the past couple of months.

Anna and Linse


The best I could get of the hoodlums before they ran off to get their Easter loot.


Oh how I love the waxy looking frosting. Delicious.


My first baby. :)
