Another Thursday Night

Thursday nights are always so boring to me. Ben has school so we are left to fin for ourselves. Last week I was brave and I took the kids to the mall all by myself with no stroller. When I walked in the doors, I thought "What am I thinking?" but surprisingly it was great. They each held onto one of my hands and we walked the whole bottom and the whole top with playing in the kids area in between. I was so proud of my little ones.

Tonight I didn't try anything fancy, just got them ready for bed and had them down by 7:30pm, which is nice. Now I've been tracking some of my stuff I have for sale on ebay (if you need any white scrubs, I'm your hook up) and checking email. But lets be honest now, what I will always end up doing is indulging in my nightly bowl of sweetness. It's just better when I know someone is doing it with me.

We got the kids a bunk bed this last weekend. They really seem to like them so I guess that is all that really matters. Having Sage in a twin bed has really messed up all our sleeping schedules but I'm sure that will level out as the newness wears off.

We are having a...

Little boy!

We are all so excited! Everything looks great with him. We (I guess mostly just me) are just settling in for the long haul ahead! By the way, Ben and I have the hardest time coming up with names so if you think of a name and you want to share it with us, we would REALLY appreciate it!

We hope everyone is having a great Fathers day! Happy Fathers day to all the great fathers in my life!! I love you guys!

Memorial Day in Mexico

We went to Mexico for Memorial day and of course we had a great time. Ben's parents have a little house right on the beach of La Salina which is a few minutes north of Ensenada. Occasionally, we get the chance to tag along with them as they drive over there. Thank you Grandma and Grandpa Shumway for taking us, your the best!

The first day was rainy and cold.
Westin and Sage being sweet for a second.
We were so glad that the weather was so beautiful the rest of the time. Not quite warm enough to get in the water but warm enough to play around it.
Grandma drew pictures in the sand of whatever Westin asked her to.

This is the best we could do for a family picture. The sunset is nice though.

Sage loved the sand, more than I ever thought she would. She was covered head to toe, if you know what I mean....

I love Mexico!!!!!
