Happy Friday!

With an early start to the day, Ryder and I are making the most of one of our last few Friday's of one-on-one time together.  I'm excited for baby to arrive, but have really loved this special time with Ryder.

Have a great Friday!

Out for a morning walk :)

Special Visitors

Last week, my mom and Mikayla were visiting from Indiana.  It was so great to see them and we enjoyed all the time we were able to spend with them.  Next time I need to work on getting pics of Ryman with Grandma Dee!!

Bedtime stories with Auntie Mikayla.

I'm amazed at how she was able to read to both kids and put them to bed (in the same room even!) silently without any help!  Mikayla - you must share your secret!!

Mikayla brings Ry up to speed on the latest cool apps :)

Open Jump at Sky Zone - Shawn, Ryder, Laura, Nick, Autumn and Mikayla all jumped.  My mom and I watched and took photos :)  Look at the air my little man has in this pic (left side of photo)!!

Thanks for visiting mom & Mikayla!  Looking forward to seeing you again in a few weeks!

1 More Month!

Just a quick post to say that I'm so excited to meet our little boy ONE MONTH from today!  He's scheduled to arrive on April 27th at about 12:30pm :)  Eeek!!

Nesting

I hit the nesting mode earlier in my pregnancy...and it's made a re-appearance.  Here are two of my fun crafts for baby from this weekend:

Baby leggings

Fun burp cloths with extra nursery fabric

Record Breaking Spring

It's a good thing that two weekends ago we got out to use our snowshoes...

...Because ever since then, we've jumped right into summer!  We are absolutely loving all this outdoor playtime:

We have been playing baseball...

...playing golf...

...playing with family (cousin Autumn & Auntie Mikayla in Hastings)...

...grilling out (in Nick & Laura's backyard)...

...visiting parks (Shoreview above, Fort Snelling and Elm Creek below)...

...and playing in the water table! 

This weather is making me super excited for baby to arrive and to spend summertime with my boys :)

Back Outside!

I can't believe what a beautiful day we had today...and that I was off work to spend it with Ryder.  So amazing.  And later, when Shawn flew back from his work trip, we continued to enjoy the summer-like temps.  I'll share more photos later, but at the moment, I just had to post this one.

I have been so excited to get outside - both to be active and because I love following Ry around with my camera, capturing him as he explores the world.  So he's used to having his picture taken in the summer.

I pulled it out for some outdoor playtime shots today and he immediately started posing and smiling! LOL! I didn't ask him to do this!  But of course, I jumped on the opportunity.  This is my fav:

32 Weeks

7 weeks till this LITTLE man becomes a BIG brother!
