One wall down.

Well, I finished the wall right before the guys got home last night. It looks great. Once the ceiling is painted white, it will be even better (the ceiling is Todd's job). I have another wall to do, the kitchen to do, our room, and Justin's room.

New Additions?

We have two new additions to the neighborhood....Justin and I were eating breakfast at the table yesterday and looked out the window to see the fawns with their Mommy....they were very very close to us...right outside the window.

We have been planning on doing some painting here at the house....it is addicting. I worked on some painting this morning and then finished up this afternoon - all with a 2 year old in tow....he did pretty well. We have a lot more painting I would like to get done before baby arrives in just 5 1/2 weeks....

Day Out with Thomas. . .

Yesterday, Reese, Carsten, Justin, Papa, Aunt Dana, and I (Alicia) did our trek to see Thomas. It was Carsten's Birthday gift from Papa and all the boys were able to participate. We stopped at the falls for a potty break first....

More pictures on Tootlepops...

Somebody asked us if we had tripplets....now I have heard of Carsten and Justin being twins...but Reese is 5.....I guess maybe if we didn't dress them so similiarly..but it is fun!

We got to ride on a "real" schoolbus. Reese's Favorite!

Now that we hang with the cousin's, Justin has come to like Thomas too....here he is showing me the sign and who we are going to go see.

There were activities and one was a percussion show...Justin using his Moraccas.

Reese was awesome in the show...he was very involved and Won the prize (a whistle)..

More action.

Of coarse, about the time the show is over, Carsten is comfortable enough to get involved.

Here we are on the train....

The boys watching Thomas

Here we are waiting in line to get our picture taken with Thomas after our train ride.

After our ride on the train, they had us take pictures with Thomas....Justin really just wanted to turn around and look at it.....

Carsten and Reese

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day.....we spent the day working this morning after a good breakfast.....prepared for a BBQ here out at the house for all the Dad's.

I (Alicia) got in big trouble cause I thought it was great to eat outside and the weather was cool, but doable...until the Moment we sat down...torrential down poor for about 5 minutes...then later it cleared up and the kids were able to enjoy some more good weather.

Here is Justin on the big wheel....

Grace and the 3 boys.....they had fun.

So here is a better shot of our injury...today this looks pretty good, we are black and blue, but at least not as swollen as yesterday. He has been a trooper.

One Fat Lip

Well, we got our first injury tonight. I was just finishing up with the dishes at Papa's house and Justin was running into sit with Papa and watch "TEN" (a kids learning show - a nightly routine for the two of them) and all of the sudden he tripped and fell. He hit his lip on the edge of the side table right next to Papa...here is the result:

One nice FAT LIP. It was pretty traumatic for him...

PJ's

Mr. Baseball. Here is Justin in his PJ's...we love to wear hats and yes, often to bed. This one is from this morning. We are finally dressed....we have had a pretty busy week.

I have about 6 weeks left till Baby #2 arrives and it seems like I really want to get a ton of projects done...none of which are for me to do....my hubby needs to do most of them, or at least be of assistance...hoping we can get to a few this weekend. One is washing the cars, but is there really a good reason to wash them - we live down a long gravel road and at this moment it is raining...but I still want a clean car....

So these past few nights I have had to get up at least 3 or 4 times for the restroom. I have been lucky that since we moved here, it has only been once, but now the baby is growing, there isn't enough room in there.....and boy do I feel it!

Other than that, we are hanging in there. House hunting, but just looking while driving, we are still in escrow on our other house, so are waiting for that to go through and are so thankful that Dad is letting us live here with him.

Finally a belly pic

Here you all go...I am 30 1/2 weeks along....
