Trying to Catch UP!!!

I know I have not been keeping my blog up at all. It has been a crazy couple of months. First of all this pregnancy has been really rough. I have been pretty sick and have only done those things absolutely necessary. You are able to see this in every aspect of my life (my house for example...not organized, blog not updated, etc.). I am now 12 weeks pregnant and still do not feel great but I think I am on my way to getting better instead of worse, or so I can hope.

I am going to try and do a quick catch up of the last couple of months!

My Dad and Laura were able to come out and visit for a week the end of August. We did so much.


We were able to go to the beach a couple of times. Jace loves playing in the sand and the water. He especially loves to mix the two of them.




Casen loved driving his remote control boat around.


We were also able to go to Niagara Falls, Splash Lagoon, and to a professional baseball game (Cleveland vs. Seattle). Below are a few pictures from the game......It was great.




























My Mom and Thad were also able to come visit for a long weekend (last weekend). We also had a lot of fun with them. DO NOT ASK ME WHAT OUR PROBLEM WAS BUT WE DID NOT TAKE ONE PICTURE THE ENTIRE TIME THEY WERE HERE. DAH!!!
I will just have to sum their visit up with words. We did a lot of fun things while they were here.

Friday: We started the morning off by going to Krispy Kreme, which turned into a daily routine during their visit. We then took a scenic drive through Erie. When we arrived home I was tired/ not feeling that great so Thad decided he would take Casen, Jace, and Ciara to Chuck E. Cheese. The kids loved this plan. My Mom and I then stayed home and watched a chick flick and took a nap.


After they arrived back home we decided we should have a date night that night. I called and got a baby sitter for the boys (they would rather have a babysitter than go anyway, they are weird.) That meant freedom for us. We went to Aoyama, which is a Japanese Hibachi restaurant. The food was so yummy! Then we decided to go out to a movie because we never really get to do that. We went and saw Eagle Eye (yes, I got out voted on seeing a chick flick. Thad, Skip, and Ciara (what is her problem) would not have anything to do with that). The movie was good in a very interesting way.

Saturday: Thad took Casen and Ciara to Splash Lagoon. Casen was so excited. He absolutely loves this place. They all had a lot of fun. Casen told me that Grandpa was kind of a wimp on the rides but he told him to be brave. Well these guys went to splash, my mom and I went shopping. We got Jace some much needed clothes and shoes. It was a great day.
Sunday: We did the normal Krispy Kreme for breakfast and then we went out to brunch. Lets just say I am sure I gained 20lbs. in the time these guys visited from eating all the yummy food. After brunch it was time for them to head to the airport. We were sad to see them leave.

Ok....From here on out I am going to try and be much better at blogging our lives.

I have been wondering where you have been! Glad to hear that everything is starting to go better for you!!! Hope to see you at the girls night this week! And I can't believe you are already 12 weeks along!!!! It seems like pregnancy is flying for everybody else, except for me. Anyway, good to hear from you.

Looks like you had a great time. It's fun to read about what you did, because I feel like before tonight (and last night ...girls night), we hadn't talked much. We need to take fall pics. this next week!

In my experience I was sicker with my girls...so here's hoping. Of course, I remember you were really sick with Casen too, so what do I know? I hope you get to feeling better real soon. I love reading your blog updates, So I'm glad to hear you're feeling more up to doing it!
