Just Waiting...

So here I am, full term and waiting for this baby to arrive. So far, I am dilated to a 2 1/2 and if I haven't had him by Oct. 2nd, I will be induced that day. I have been busy trying to get stuff ready for the baby and also for family to come. I am pretty tired ALL of the time, but just try to keep moving. If I sit down for too long, I will be asleep. :) We still don't have a name for sure, but our two favorites so far are Anderson and Cade. We might just have to wait and see what he looks like because we cannot decide for anything! We are really bad with names. Maybe I will find something completely different between now and when he is born. I am getting pretty nervous for the actual delivery. I did not enjoy my experience delivering Jack, so I am crossing my fingers that this one is a little better. Anyways, the countdown is on! Hopefully my next post will have a cutie pie little boy in it!!

I love little boys

I just have to say how much I love this little boy. He is at such a fun age, despite his little naughty moments. The other night for family night, we went to go pick out our pumpkins and he insisted that he wear his frog boots, even though he was wearing shorts. He looked so cute. I just love his personality. He loves to sing songs, talk, ask the same question over and over, play with cars and airplanes, go to the park, and pretend that he is Batman. He is all boy, minus that fact that he can't stand if his hands or feet are dirty. He is always asking for a wipee. I guess that's not a bad thing though! :) He talks about wanting to teach our little brother high five and knuckles. Hopefully he will be as excited about the baby AFTER he comes! I am anxious to see how he reacts.
He had a doctor's appointment the other day and his pediatrician could not get over how well he talks. I love having little conversations with him and hearing what is going on in that little head of his. I'm not sure what I will do if my next child doesn't talk as soon as he did. I'm sure Jack will talk enough for the two of them. :)

At 27 months his stats are:

Height- 36 in.- 65%
Weight- 28 lbs. 6 oz.- 41%

Patterson is Open!



Hooray! We are so excited that Patterson Fruit Farm is open again. It is one of my favorite places to go in the fall. I love all the apples, I love the pretty drive out there, and I love that Jack has so much fun.

We are geeks... :)

Spencer, Suzy and Sydney joining in the fun! I love Sydney's face in this picture...so cute!

Love that little boy




Jack could have played on these slides for hours if we would have let him. He was loving it!

I hope the weather is nice enough to take our parents out here when they come, because I can't wait to go again! :)

Labor Day Weekend

We had an awesome Labor Day weekend that started out on Saturday at Sulfur Springs near Chagrin Falls. It is so beautiful out there! We took a picnic with friends and walked down the cold stream in our flip flops. Jack was loving it! It is definitely a place we will be going back to. I love finding new places to go explore.
We have never been there and kept saying the whle time how gorgeous it was. There is a nice picnic area and lots of trails you can walk.

After Sulfur Springs and a baptism at the church, we headed to the Indian's game. It was a perfect night! The only thing that would have made it better was if the Indian's would have won. :(

We never get sick of the baseball games. It was an early game so it was a good one to take Jack to. Complete with hotdogs, nacho's, candy and peanuts, we were in seventh heaven! :)

After the game, we went down to the water to watch the sunset. They had a live band going and a fireworks show after, which was an extra bonus because we didn't even know about it! It made for an extra fun day.


On Monday we headed back to the water front to watch the air show. The tickets were $21 a piece so we found a spot close by on the water and watched it for free which makes it even more enjoyable. We like free! :) This first airplane came screaming by us and was SO LOUD!!! Jack got really scared at first so he sat with Justin most of the time and Justin plugged his ears for him. After he got used to it, he thought it was super cool.
He went up to this random guy sitting by us and carried on a conversation about the boat that had pulled up. All while keeping his hand on the guy's shoulder. It kind of makes me nervous because Jack will seriously make friends with anyone!

Here we are enjoying the beautiful weather and waiting for the Air Force Thunderbirds to do their grand finale...
It was supposed to start any minute when it started POURING down rain!!! It seriously happened in a matter of seconds.
We weren't sure where to go or what to do at first until we noticed everyone was taking cover under a couple tents that were set up. We were the only people left on the grass getting soaked when we decided we better join the rest of them!
This is the other tent people were hiding under. It rained like this for a good twenty minutes or so while we just hung out like sardines next to a bunch of strangers. It was pretty funny. We got a good laugh but were super sad when we realized we weren't going to see the Thunderbirds, which was the whole reason we stayed so long! It was a bummer. Overall we had a fun weekend!
