IT'S A BOY !!!!

Much to our surprise, we found out this week that we are having a boy! Rob was so sure that we were having a girl. Before we left for the appointment he said that if it is a boy, I could pick what I want: either a diamond ring or a new car. I'm going with the car.

Time to start shopping for all things blue ... and a few trucks as well. We are happy that we will get to experience one of each. Riley is very excited because she has said from the beginning that she wants a boy baby. Also, mom will not have to give up the pendulum as it has told her twice that I am pregnant with a boy. Oy.
Here are some pics. From the top, a foot, then a 3D photo (in the middle) and a between the legs shot ... you may be able to see the small arrow (or the small parts). Ha!

Warm Laundry

I carried the warm laundry from the dryer to our bed. I went back to put the wet clothes into the dryer and when I returned, this is what I found. Now Lilo has always done this ... buried herself in the warm laundry but this is new for Sunny. If only I could teach her now how to fold!

Six Flags

I decided to do Six Flags with some friends since I know I won't be up for going next summer with 2 small children. Riley had so much fun with her friends Alaina and Savannah!

Riley in the Tub

I was just telling Mom last night about Riley enjoying the jacuzzi tub andthe bubbles that it makes. Check it out!

Our Florida Trip

We had so much fun! We went out to dinner way too much, we went to Sea World while the boys went fishing and we went to the beach. We got to see some of our favorite people: Crystal, Nick, Poppie, Sally, Brett, Grandpa, Grant and of course, Mimi! Riley still talkes about Sea World at least once a day since she has a photo of her Aunt Crystal, Sunny and Mommy in it with Shamu on the frame.

Tanglewood Farms

We went to this 'miniature farm animal' petting zoo. I have to admit that it was a bit strange being around all these little animals. Riley loved it though! She got to feed a baby sheep milk and get her very first pony ride. At one point, Riley was holding something and asked if it was a black bean. After some antibacterial spray, I had to explain what sheep poop looks like.

Also, as you can kind of see in the pony ride picture, I cut 10 inches off my hair and donated it to Locks Of Love. It is an organization that makes wigs for financially disadvantaged children under the age of 18 suffering from long term hair loss for many different reasons. I'm still getting used to it but it is much nicer now that it is summer time!

Singin' in the rain ..

Riley loves her rain boots and umbrella so we had the take advantage of this rainy day in May.

The boys went fishing ...

"The boys" fishing expedition while the girls went to Sea World. I am proud to say that Rob and Nick's boat beat Dad and Brett's boat!

Sunny at the beach a couple months ago. See, I'm even behind with getting pics off the camara and on the computer. I'll update very soon with more recent pics!

Maybe this will help!

So my good friend Kelly (who only lives 40 minutes away and I never see) has this adorable "blog" page. She updates it with her beautiful family including her son, Mer, who is growing up way too fast (which means Sunny is too). I decided to jump on this bandwagon since I am not good at sending pics out of our adventures and our growing family. We have family and friends all over the place (the farthest being Aunt Carolyn in Lacey, WA, and the closest being Kelly O in Alpharetta, GA) that I don't see or talk to nearly enough!
