So Let Me Introduce To You, The One And Only Julian R.H.

Can't get enough of him with just 3 photos? You know where we live.

You Say it's Your Birthday

Happy 2 years to the cutest kid around. Liam was excited to wear this birthday suit for church, but I think his cute smile is from holding this gift of crayons we gave him.

Upon one of our scenic routes while driving around we found out how much Liam loved to see the horses and cows and scenery that went by. When he saw this cake he kept saying "burtday...amal!"

We love our family away from family here. Liam's Aunt Myla made this awesome quilt and pillow for him. It will go great on his new toddler bed.

Being pregnant while having Liam's birthday today made me think a lot about labor and wonder when our next little one will come. Wish us luck, the new one is due May 1st!

Ultra Sound

If you could only hear the awesome rock-n-roll that pumps from this guitar you would understand why Liam's face is the way it is.

Our baby and Liam have formed a rock group. Liam plays the guitar while the baby dances in my tummy. The baby wants to name their rock group "Ultra Sound". Liam prefers "Fetal Distress".

Belly Bill

Lately, every time Carrie comes at me, my first instinct is to jump as high as I can,

pump my left fist straight up in the air,
and land directly on top of her belly with my right foot.


'Cause, you know... you only have one life to live.

We're freezing up here

This weekend we decided to go fishing. After 20 minutes of the boys watching a pregnant woman put on 5 layers of clothes (including a undersized pink snowsuit), I concluded that most of the entertainment for the day was from my marvelous performance in "Carrie Loves to Struggle to Keep Unfrozen"-pregnant edition.

The pond we visited stays at a nice 55 degrees the whole year so no ice fishing is involved. Liam loved watching his dad catch fish after fish until he realized how uncomfortable snow clothes are and how unfun frozen conditions can be. We spent the last half playing in the car.

After only a few casts, Tanner's brother Cabe fearlessly reeled in his first fish ever: a tender little 6 inch guppie. Tanner and I looked on like a couple of proud parents. We loved having a family member up to visit.

The best catch of the day was the one I caught on the drive over. Make sure your straps are in the car before putting it in overdrive.
