One Day at a Time...

On Sunday, for Father's Day, we decided to take advantage of our Zoo membership and check out their new Giants of Savanna exhibit. We were SO glad we did! It is awesome.

Here are Shane and Logan checking out the crocodiles

Logan and Daddy

The absolute best part was the giraffes. Their new home is amazing and you can feed them! I could not believe how close they came. Logan loved it!

It got pretty hot so we had to stop for an ice cream break....of course, he wanted chocolate which lead to an outfit change before finishing the day :)Riding the "pony" in the Children's ZooWe had such a wonderful time enjoying the day as a family. We were all totally exhausted afterwards! Logan fell asleep in the car (which never happens anymore) and we all just kind of laid around the rest of the day.

Baby Boy continues to grow (and grow!) and is moving all the time now. I have my diabetes test in one week, but I can hardly believe that I'm that far along already! Logan felt his first kick a few days ago. He said, "Why is he kicking me?" It was really cute. He always asks me, "What's he doing in there?" And, sometimes he'll tell me things about him. He'll say, "My baby brother doesn't like to have water dumped on his head." (He said this when we pulled out the baby bath tub.) Or, he'll say, "I think he wants to come out now!" I can imagine that it feels like we've been talking about this baby forever and he's beginning to wonder if he's EVER going to be born. I'm sure by October, he'll be thinking we've been playing this joke on him and he'll be surprised when we actually do bring home a baby :)

It seems like the summer is already flying by! I can hardly believe that it is the middle of June and I'm already 5 1/2 months pregnant. I swear, I'm going to blink and it'll be the end of August! I'm really trying to enjoy every single day of summer (no matter how stinkin' hot it gets!) and treasure every day with Logan. This is our last summer as a family of three and my last few months of having him home with me five days a week since he'll start preschool two days a week in the fall.

Last weekend we had a lot of family fun! Friday, we were so lucky because Shane's grandparents got to come out and spend some time with us at our house. Shane's cousin and her son, Ty and his cousin Ryleigh also got to come play with Logan. They all had fun together! Here's a picture of Logan with his great-grandparents.

Here's one with Ty and Ryleigh tooSaturday, we headed out to East Texas for my cousin Kyla's little boy's FIRST birthday! They did such a great job on the party and we had a wonderful time. My Granddad also got to come down from the panhandle, so it was wonderful to visit with him too.

They had this big waterslide set up for the kids and Logan loved it. Here he is with Brody at the top ready to slide down. They are only a few months apart and two peas in a pod!

Up, up, up!

Down, down, down!

I've also been staying pretty busy with my Kalamity Kids business. For those of you who haven't checked out my shop, you can click on the image on the right to see the new stuff I have listed. I also have a fan page set up on Facebook which has been awesome. I have almost 100 people who "like" my shop and receive my updates. (You don't have to be a member of FB to view it, just go to www.facebook.com/kalamitykids. If you are a member, I'd love it if you'd "like" my shop! Thanks!) I've been having so much fun lately sewing and working on orders. It feels like such a blessing that people are so supportive and like what I am making, and I have some really fun new items in the works.

BOY!!!

It was so funny because the ultrasound tech asked us if we wanted to know what we were having, so of course we said, "YES!" As soon as she put the wand on my tummy we saw the view of two legs looking upward. Immediately, Shane said, "Those are boy parts!" so the tech froze the screen and asked us what we thought. We both said "BOY!" It was very obvious :) I think he was trying to tell us to quit calling him a girl! Ha ha ha

Shane and I are both so excited. Pregnancy is such a miracle and to see him moving around in there made us so happy. I got teary just looking at how beautiful he was and thinking about how lucky we are. We were both surprised since we (and everyone else!) thought he was going to be a girl, but we just laughed and smiled watching him dance around. I just feel so lucky and can't wait to see my two boys together!

Update soon to come with the ultrasound pictures. I have another little boy to put to bed before I can get them all scanned in :)

Here's his knee up by his face. He was moving all over the place! Definitely a BOY!!
