SEATTLE SLUGS

For those of you who do not know that the slugs here in Washington are HUGE!!!! Rain must be their fertilizer. Just about daily we see slugs in the flower beds and on the grass, sometimes we even get lucky and have one stuck to our front door. They are gross!!!!!!!!!!!! Judson tells me they won't hurt us which I know but really who likes seeing 3 inch slugs everywhere??? They are gross. Take a look at it.

New Bed!!

With Baby number two on the way and Judson using the dresser that goes with the crib, we decided it was time to get a new one. I have wanted to get Judson a bedroom set for a while but dad kept putting it off. Finally about a week ago, we finally got one. We ended up with a captains bed, a dresser and a nightstand. Of course we bought it at my favorite furniture store uphere The Old cannery which is 10 acres of furniture. It is a store that is fun for all with trains running along the top of the store and a big train play section in the kids bedroom section. Needless to say, I have bought a lot of furniture there in the 3 1/2 years that we have been here. I will be sad when we move and I can no longer shop there. Even if you are not looking for furniture you can go enjoy the activities they do for the holidays. I have had two friends win $1,000 gift certifacets on St. Patricks day. Judson enjoys the easter egg hunts, the pinata, and whatever esle they do for all the holidays. This is one furniture store your kids will not complain about going to. Judson does not want to leave even when it is time to go home.

Welcome Home DAD!!!

After a month of Mike being gone he is home again safe and sound. My husband is a real trooper. After already flying for 26 hours he arrived home for his mom, Judson and I to pick him up at the base and head straight to the Seattle airport to get on another plane and head to Ohio for a friends wedding. I was so excited he made it home and was able to go to the wedding and that we were able to have a weekend away together. I did indeed feel bad that he was getting on another plane but he did it with a smile on his face. Judson also had a great time with his grandma while we were gone. Thanks Bonnie for coming over and watching him. Most of all thanks Mike for being a great sport.

WELCOME HOME!!!!

Sunshine!!!!

After about seven months of nonstop tian the warm weather we had this weekend was welcomed by all with open arms. Judson and I were so excited to see the sun and be able to spend time outside that we were outside all weekend. We spent our time at the parks, doing yard work, having water fights, swimming in his new pool, and going to the Northwest Trek. The northwest Trek is a wildlife park zoo place. Judson enjoying seeing all the animals and the tram ride that takes you out to see more animals in their natural habitat. Judson loved the bears and has told everyone all about the moose, deer, elk, and bison that he saw as well. It is just too bad the sun was only out for a few days and we go back to rain tomorrow. We will just have to wait patiently and look forward to the next time the sun decides to peak through the clouds!!

IT"S A ??????????

I am not convinced as the little person in my belly is not very cooperative when it comes to an ultrasound. After convincing my doctor at an appointment to do an ultrasound and tell me what she thought I was having a few days before my big ultrasound, she went back and forth from boy to girl and settled with boy. She apologized for not knowing for certain since the baby was not cooperating and she could not get a clear picture.

I was sad since I really just want a girl. So the day of the ultrasound came which was a few weeks ago and once again the baby did not cooperate. When the ultrasound tech asked if we wanted to know the sex, I said, "If it is a boy no and a girl yes." She looked at me a little funny but just went on with the ultrasound. Once again not much cooperation from the baby :( First the umbilical cord was between the legs, then hands down there, and then legs closed. Needless to say I was getting a little anxious as I just wanted to know for sure. The tech finally came out with the sex and I must admit I am still not convinced. It is a good thing I will have a couple more ultrasounds before I am due. Hopefully we will get a clear shot on one of them.

So for now the verdict is: IT'S A GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mothers Day

Well this Mothers Day was much like all the Mothers Days I have had since becoming a mom. I have gotten used to spending the day with Judson as Mike always seems to get sent somewhere for every Mothers Day. Judson and I had a great day together just playing and spending time together. I asked him Saturday night if he was going to bring me breakfast in bed he looked at me a little puzzled and said by myself. Well Sunday morning rolled around and Judson came in my room to wake me up and asked where is your breakfast. I thought it was cute that he even remembered me telling him that.

I hope every Mother had a great Mothers Day!!!!
