It's Been Awhile!

I've totally put off writing any posts, but for good reason! We've had a VERY busy month and last few weeks. Just to catch you up.... We sold our house (yippee!), had a closing date of only 3 weeks (yikes!), moved out of our house and into David's parent's basement, have looked at over 40 houses, finally found one we love and close on it the 26th of July and move in the next day! Busy but exciting! Not to mention a special little someone who arrives in 10 weeks. Talk about time flying!

The first batch of pictures is before we moved. We had been at the doctors office for almost three hours and he did such a good job that he got his very own peanut butter ice cream sundae. 

"Can I have the ice cream?"

"Still waiting. Can I have it now?"

"Mmmm, finally!"

"Forget the spoon!"

"I get to use the spoon? Cool!"

"Drip it right in."

"Brrrrr"

"Yum! Ice cream soup!"

I've been wanting to take Bo to Deanna Rose Farmstead ever since Jake and Katie Manthe took Naomi there and they got to see baby goats. I've had a thing for baby goats since I was very little and was sure Bo would love them too. Recently it's been too hot to go so the first break in the weather and we were there! David had to work (although he did get to stop by for about an hour) but my mom and sister Crystal went with us.

 We first saw the chickens - as you can see by the picture, Bo is not a fan. 

Next we checked out the barn and saw two baby calves, some bunnies, and the momma cow. Bo and my mom and looking at the cow. Both seem a little unsure!

Daddy showed up just in time to feed the baby goats. Bo was more interested in the bottle of milk than he was with the goats. 

He didn't want to pet them and I think he was a little jealous that they were getting that bottle.

We went back to the barn with daddy (we didn't realize until later there was a whole other side to this place). Again Bo didn't want to pet the calves.....

.....BUT he did want to pet the gigantic momma cow. Go figure! 

 Daddy had to head back to work before we found the other side to the farm. We saw piglets, bobcats, buffalo, eagles, owls, more goats, and some really friendly prairie dogs. Out of all of those animals the only things Bo were interested in was the quail. Here he is sneaking up and trying to pet one. 

He almost got him. 

The weather was great, especially compared to what is has been, but I think another trip back in the fall is definitely in order. 

Pudding!

Bo's first time eating pudding - and all by himself! I don't think much made it down, but he had a fun time trying to eat it. 

Yum! 

This is good mom!

Ornery look

This is my favorite picture, except that he looks too big!

A Day in the Pool and a Sister!

A few weeks ago I bought a small plastic pool (best $8 spent ever) for Bo to play in on our deck. He LOVES taking baths so I figured he would like a pool too. I was right. The pool is the right height that he can get in and out of it by himself, which he does a lot. He loves to splash around and play with his toys. His favorite pool toy by far is a giant plastic cup. 

We took him swimming last summer, but he was so little that he got cold really fast and him in the pool lasted about 5-10 mins. This year has been another story. That water may be cold, but he's still going to get in! If the water is cold he kind of squats in the water awhile to get used to it before sitting down. He also thinks it's very funny when the dogs drink out of his pool and even funnier when they stand still long enough for him to splash them. 

Playing with "the cup"

Trying to get out a new way - feet first.

Playing in the dogs water with "the cup". 

"What? I'm just standing in my pool!"

Letting the water fall on his hands. 

The famous muscles. 

To the other side. 

Making sure everyone see's how strong.

Just a side note on the last 3 pictures. We didn't ask Bo to show his muscles. He just wanted to show us how strong he is. He has started doing this at restaurants too to get peoples attention. He will show them muscles until they notice him and say something about it.

If you haven't heard we found out that we are having a girl! After picking my jaw up off the floor (thought for sure I was having a boy) we are super excited. The crazy garage sale-ing has commenced.

Happy Birthday Baby!

We had a ton of fun throwing Bo's first birthday party! We had it at the gazebo at Lion's Park which was able to fit everyone (unlike our house). Thank you to all who came - we had a blast! 

It was a cowboy theme - can you tell?

Cousins eating. I think they both just want to play. 

Papa giving Mason a hotdog. 

Naomi chowing down. Hotdogs were popular!

First present!

Distracted by the cousins.

Bath toys from Naomi!

So excited about his xylophone!
 

Thomas!

Bo's first drum "set".

A book with baby animals. I have a feeling this will be a favorite. 

Cake!

First taste - one of only two. 

It's more fun to play in the cake than eat it. 

The cake and Bo after. Bo was saying he was all done. 

Easter!

Last year we spent Easter in the hospital since it was the day after Bo was born. This year was another milestone Easter with Bo having a ton of fun at THREE Easter egg hunts. We started the weekend off on Saturday at our church's egg hunt. 

Bo looking around at all the candy. He didn't know what to do at first. 

Crawling towards some candy.

He got the hang of it. His favorite to pick up were these marshmallow sticks. You can see his basket if full of them!

We started off Easter morning at church. I didn't have a chance to get a picture of Bo in his shirt, vest, and tie, but trust me, he was CUTE! After church we headed over to my parent's house. Bo was the only one young enough to hunt eggs. He had a blast!   

Putting an egg in his basket. 

His favorite eggs were the ones that rattled. 

Rattling the egg

"I found two!"

"Look what I found!"

After eating lunch and having an egg hunt at my parent's, we went to David's parents house to end the day. The boys spent the afternoon driving, riding, and pushing the Jeep. Mason and Henry took turns driving and Bo had a good time riding. 

Buckling up for safety!

Bo LOVED riding!

Mason giving Bo a kiss. So cute!
