Baby on the Way

Our newest family member is due to arrive December 7th, five days before Nathan's 2nd birthday. A little crazy I know but we are SO EXCITED that our family is growing. I am 15 weeks along and happy to finally be into the second trimester. That first trimester was a hard one this time around. I don't remember being so sick and tired with Nathan. Maybe that is just how it goes but I am glad to be feeling better. I am still tired all the time but I am pretty sure that is because I have a very active 18 month old to keep up with. We are looking forward to the first ultrasound in just a couple of weeks and we can't wait to find out what we are having. We thought we were tough enough to wait to find out this time but I am just too much of a planner and I can't wait to start making plans! We have absolutely no thoughts about what we are having and we would be happy either way. We just can't wait to meet this new little blessing.

Big News!!!

We are soon going to have four in our family....
a big brother Nathan can't wait to be!!

Happy Days in San Diego

We always enjoy visiting our family in San Diego. We had so much fun at Disneyland and California Adventure. We also were able to enjoy a few days of just relaxing and spending time with our families. Ryan enjoys having projects to help out his dads. This time he helped my dad with our front door. Nathan wanted to help too especially since there were so many cool tools to work with. He is definitely following after his dad!
While the men spent some time laboring the grandmas took Nathan and I to the San Diego Zoo. We had a fun day together and Nathan enjoyed seeing all of the animals. He especially liked the monkeys. They were sure giving him a show. Happy day at the Zoo.

Nathan also liked the little petting zoo they had there. He was not afraid to walk right up to the goats and lambs and give them a pat. He was very gentle and would squat down and get in their face to talk to them.



Of course we had to spend a couple of hours at the beach. Nathan and Dad enjoyed making sand castles and when we were all done Nathan was covered in sand and happy.

What a beautiful day!


Nathan is so lucky to have both grandparents in San Diego. We spent a lot of time at both homes. Nathan liked the bike at grandma Moehle's and it was a perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Nathan also likes all of the animals at grandma Bryant's. They have three dogs, a cat and a guinea pig. He sure loves going to his grandma's houses.


California Adventure

After a day in Disneyland we spent the next one in California Adventure. We had a lot of fun there and they had a lot of fun things for Nathan to do too. Ryan and I had a favorite ride which was the hang glider simulation ride. It was amazing and it even smelled like oranges when we flew over an orange grove. Happy to be on an adventure.
Our little fire fighter.


Surf's up!

This is one of my favorite pictures. Nathan got to meet Wall-E. Well not really it was just a picture but he sure looked real. Nathan sure liked him. He kept walking over and standing by him.


A bunch of bugs! These glasses were awesome and we look hilarious. We were at A Bug's Life 3D show and it was very entertaining. We were sad when we had to give up the glasses though.

Mom and Nathan happy to be having lunch!



Grandpa and Nathan just relaxing. Nathan loved sitting in these little tractor chairs. Every time we walked by them he had to sit in them. We may need one of our house.


Getting to ride a Bug ride. The Bug's Life section was the cutest part for Nathan and he enjoyed all of the rides.

Disneyland!!!

Back in April my parents took the whole family to Disneyland to celebrate their 20th anniversary. We had a great time together and Ryan and I hadn't been since our honeymoon. I had forgotten how awesome Disneyland really is!! It really is the happiest place on earth! The whole family ready for our day of adventure.

Nathan enjoyed his time with Grandma and Grandpa. Thanks for a wonderful trip!!Nathan had a great time at Disneyland. He is still a bit young to fully appreciate it but he did LOVE Toon Town. There were so many fun things to climb on and explore. He got to ride a few rides and I think Autotopia was his favorite.
Our future pianist. He had a great time with this piano in Goofy's house.

Getting ready to ride Pirate's of the Caribbean. My favorite ride!!



Enjoying time together in the sunshine.
