Weeks 27 and 28

Week 27

And week 28

Gro Baby Cloth diapers

Ok, so a friend tipped me off to this giveaway, and I'm hoping it's real ... I would really like to try the Gro Baby cloth diapers, and it says if I blog about it and post their link they will send me one in the mail! I will update later and let you know if it worked :-) Here is the link to their website: http://www.thenaturalbabyco.com/grobaby%E2...2-ic-11_16.html

*** UPDATE*** It was real :-) A few weeks later I received a free Gro Baby cloth diaper in the mail. It's super cute and super nice, and I can't wait to use it on J. after he's born!

Happy Birthday Christopher!

Christopher turns 4 today! I was sadly unable to attend his birthday party on Saturday because I was working. Jeff was able to go though, and had a great time. Christopher's mom, Melissa, did an awesome job planning a Dinosaur Party!

Christopher's parents let us borrow him for a little while yesterday evening to celebrate with ice cream and a trip to the park :-) I don't know who had more fun, Jeff and me, or Christopher.

Mmmmm, ice cream!

Thanks for turning 4 Christopher!

26 weeks!

We are now at 26 weeks! Only 96 days left until our 9/23 due date!

I feel like my belly is growing daily

And Jonathan now moves and kicks ALL day and night long - and I love it!

Finally some pics with the hubby in them!

Ok, so I sorta messed up on the heart shape we were trying to make with our hands, but I love Jeff's face in this picture :-)

Splendid salads, enormous eggs, and the Champion!

The past few weeks, as I've been working weekends, Jeff has been making these beautiful and scrumptious salads! We have discovered our Kroger goes through their produce each Thursday morning, and if I shop that day I can get a lot of Manager's Specials :-) So Jeff makes a huge salad Thursay night, and it lasts us about three days.

We have been buying a gallon of fresh goat's milk each week from an older couple who have a farm a few miles outside of town. And they now have farm fresh eggs available each week too, for only $1.25! They come in all sizes, shapes, and colors. This week I was amazed to open the carton and find this HUGE egg!

And here we introduce the newest resident of our kitchen counter - the one and only Champion Juicer! We love juicing fresh fruits and vegetables, and Jeff has had his eye on this amazing juicer for quite some time. We received it last week as a late wedding gift (thank you Mom and Dad Vickers!), and Jeff has been like a kid on Christmas morning :-) I have yet to use it myself (just read the user's guide this morning though, so will be trying it out soon) but have been thoroughly enjoying it's fruits - thus far juices and delicious banana ice cream, and it will also make butters (peanut, almond, etc) and do baby foods too!).

Week 24!

Baby boy is super active the past 2-3 days! He is kicking, rolling, bumping around all the time! Tonight I have been laying in bed laughing and talking to baby while watching my belly move, sway, roll, bump, etc.

Here are 24 week belly pictures (yes, that is a tag on the pants I need to cut off - just bought them today and was trying them on for Hubs).

From Colorado on the Harley!

Jeff's parents came to visit us last weekend, all the way from Colorado on their Harley! We had a wonderful time and can't wait for their next visit!

Karen and John Wedding

Heading out for a walk and to show them around Conway one evening.

A turtle that wondered into our yard one morning

Friday we headed out to Mt. Magazine and hiked (very short hike!) to the highest point in Arkansas! The weather was beautiful!

This is the back porch of the beautiful lodge at Mt. Magazine, where we enjoyed eating a picnic lunch and enjoyed a beautiful view.

That night Jeff's parents treated us out to dinner at the Outback Steakhouse - thank you guys, the food was wonderful!

All geared up and ready to head out Saturday morning.
