It's been a while!

Hi everyone! I have been really bad about posting lately, actually I am always pretty bad about posting! Sorry, I know my blog is pretty boring. Anyways, we have had so much fun these last few months. It was Wesley's birthday, he turned 2 on September 2nd and we had a fun Birthday party with all his friends. We went camping with the Rooney's, it was so much fun! Wes loves being outdoors and playing in the dirt. He also loves the Rooney girls, Ryanne and Bentlee are some of his best friends! Then at the beginning of this month Wes and I went to Playhouse Disney live with Stacey and Caden and Cadie and Danny. I have never seen Wes so happy! He got spoiled and was amazed by Rocket and all the other characters. It was definitely a time I will always remember. Just this past week it was Eric's birthday, he had to work and it was a long day so we didn't so too much but he said he had a good day. Wes and I met him for lunch so it was nice to be able to see him in the middle of the day! I hope you have a great year being 27 babe, I love you! As far as everything in between all the fun, I am just getting bigger and bigger everyday.
I am 18 weeks and still at that not fun stage where if you don't really know me and see me you would probably just think I have a chunky belly. I think I would rather have my belly be really big so that at least people knew I was pregnant not just needing to loose a few pounds. Well I hope all our family and friends are doing great and having fun! I'll try to be better about posting!

Guess What????

I know most of you have heard by now but.....we are expecting baby #2! Wes is so excited to be a big brother soon and always says he wants a sister! Eric and I are so excited to be having another baby and can't wait for March. This pregnancy is already going by so much faster than my pregnancy with Wes. I was pretty sick for the past few weeks but I am feeling so much better now and I am so excited to enjoy the next 6 months of being pregnant!

Finally Mexico Pictures!

Family Pictures in Mexico!

We have had such a fun summer! It seems like we have been gone a lot, we went to Mexico for a week with all the Dwiggins family and it was a blast( I will post pictures soon!). While we were there we had family pictures taken by Annie Randall and she did a great job! We got some adorable pictures of the kidos and the entire family. I wanted to post a few of Eric, Wes and I that I liked the best. I will post more pictures of the rest of our summer fun soon, I promise!

Warning: Very Long Post! I have to apologize in advanced for this long post with so many pictures! If you can't tell I was way excited for this vacation and took way too many pictures(417 to be exact!). Don't worry I won't post them all and I am sorry to all our family who logged on to snap fish to view them because Eric did not erase any of them before he posted them there! So anyways, Eric, Wesley and I boarded a plane to JFK on Thursday May 22nd to spend a week having fun in New York and New Jersey. Originally Eric just wanted to go for the weekend to watch a Yankees and a Mets game since this is their last year at their current stadiums and he wanted Wes to be able to brag to all his friends when he grows up that he went to Shea Stadium and Yankee Stadium, but of course I wanted some time to shop while we were there! Just kidding(kinda), I also really wanted to see New Jersey because that is where Eric served his mission and I have always wanted to go there and see where he lived and the chapels he attended and basically put a picture with all his funny stories he has told me. So off went to fulfill Eric's desire to go to the games and mine to see his mission and explore Manhattan! We spent the first night driving around the city and some of New Jersey and then getting checked in at the hotel, Eric flirted with the girl at the desk and got us into the private floor of the hotel for preferred guests only and I am glad he did because our view was amazing! The next day we spent in the city walking around everywhere and figuring out exactly what we wanted to do while we were there. The next day we spent the day in New Jersey going to all the areas Eric served in and seeing all the houses he lived in, it was really interesting to say the least to see some of the streets he would walk down! Eric's big surprise that day was that his favorite companion he ever had on the mission flew to New Jersey to surprise him at Banana King, yes you guessed it, Brian and Ginger Starkes flew in for the week as well! It was so fun to see them and be able to take a picture of the boys in front of the house they lived in together on the mission. We also were able to go with them to get a piece of pizza at Sam's, "The Best Pizza in the World" I have always heard and it was good! We spent a majority of our time we had left in Manhattan and at the baseball games, there is so much to do in the city that we would get up in the mornings and drive over to the city and park the car and leave it there all day and not get back to the hotel until 11pm or so every night! Wes had so much fun going to every toy store there was and to the Central Park Zoo, but I think he had the most fun on the Navy Ship with his Daddy! The whole trip was the most fun I have ever had in my life and it was so special to spend a full week with just my boys! I begged Eric to please let us move there, even if it was just for a few months so that I could take Wes to Central Park everyday! I am so grateful to have gone and I will never forget it, especially when I have 417 pictures to remind me of it!

First of all thanks Ali for the tag and the subtle hint that I need to post more often! I have been tagged before but I have never done it so here goes!
How to play this game. Post these rules on your blog; List 3 joys, 3 fears, 3 goals, 3 current obsessions/collections, 3 random surprising facts about yourself. Tag 5 people at the end of your post by leaving their names.

3 Joys: 1. Watching movies late at night with my wonderful husband after we put Wes to sleep. 2. Tanning, I have found that I really like to go to the tanning bed because it is so relaxing to lay there and do nothing for 15 minutes. 3. Watching Wes play with his toys, especially his "Cho, Cho" he will push his trains all over the house all day and he is so stinkin cute when he does it and that bring me a lot of Joy!

3 Fears: 1. I have a huge fear of Scorpions! We have only ever seen one in our house and that was almost two years ago and Eric is convinced that the bug guys planted it in our house! I shake out our sheets every night because I am so scared of getting stung! 2. Something happening to my boys! 3. I am terrified of spending the night at my house by myself, I won't do it so when Eric goes out of town I either have someone come stay with me or I go to Stacey's!

3 Goals: 1. To exercise and get a tone body! 2. Plan a trip to Hawaii with just Eric and I in the next 6 months. 3. Finish decorating my house, my house needs so much more help in that department!

3 Current Obsessions/Collections: 1. Calorie counting, I hate it but it is necessary! 2. Picture taking, I want so bad to be good at taking pictures so I take hundreds and beg Eric for one of those big cameras to try and become a mommy photographer! 3. Shopping, I think it is a ongoing obsession that I have a feeling will never go away!

3 Random Facts: 1. When I was born I was premature and I almost died. 2. I recently discovered that I think I have a little OCD, I have been noticing that I do a lot of things in a exact routine and when I don't I can't relax until I do. Like getting ready for bed at night I have to wash my face, brush my teeth, put my hair in a pony tail, take a drink of water, put chap stick on, use the bathroom, check on Wes, shake out my sheets, lay with a pillow between my knees and then finally I can go to sleep! If I don't do one of those things I literally can not go to sleep until I get up and do it. 3. I love to doodle, when i sit down to write out some ideas I have for work I find my self doodling on the side of the page. It actually helps to clear my head from everyday things and I always end up coming up with good ideas for work when I doodle.
