Viva Las Vegas

So we didn't get the tax return we were hoping for. As a matter of fact we owed the feds. Lame! And since we use our tax returns for vacation our budget was a bit smaller this year. So we decided to drive to Vegas! Mistake 1.) driving, such a long drive and I hated it (Garrett didn't mind because he hates flying) 2.) Vegas In July what was I thinking I was like 7 months along and it was sweltering hot!!



Our vacation was pretty lax. we hung out at the pool, walked the strip, ate lots of food, and hung out at Circus Circus. We stayed at a hotel called Tuscany Suites, it was a nice hotel about a block of the strip and supper cheap!

There was this one act at Circus Circus where there was this bouncy board and the lady seriously went sooo far into the air and would come back down to land on this board that was probably no wider than 4inches.



I Had to go on a gondola ride and Garrett Kindly obliged, I am pretty sure he thought it was lame but Kam and I enjoyed it. Its probably the closest I will ever come to the real thing



And of course we went to the wax museum.



We were even lucky enough to get to see my brother Dusty who has been living in LA. He was able to drive up and spend a couple days with us. Kam sure enjoyed his uncle and they bonded really well.



It was nice to get away. and I am glad we went to Vegas but I don't think I will need to go back for a while

Happy 3rd Birthday Bug!

We celebrated Kams birthday back in july. I know I am a blog slacker, but it is what it is. We had a small get together at our house nothing too exciting. I had toyed with the idea of having his friends come over and decided I wanted to wait one more year. We had lots of family show up and of course kam was spoiled rotten.









I cant believe that my baby is three. He is soo very smart and sometimes when he talks I find myself picking my jaw off the ground because he says the most grown up things. He has been working on learning to recognize and write his ABCs and 123s. it is a little slow going because I don't have all the time I'd like to dedicate to it and his daycare isn't doing preschool for the 2-3yr olds this year :(.

This kid is so full of life he is such a blessing to us. He sure keeps us on our toes. He is truly well behaved and is very helpful. He loves anything to do with swords and guns. He loves to play outside and loves to play in the sand box. If we let him he would stay outside all day and all night. He is 100% boy!!

We sure do love him and are very very grateful that he is ours and we get to enjoy him everyday!

Here's Jaxton's debut photo!

A not so Big Suprise...now

Well I happened to decide to visit my blog page to catch up on some friends accounts. I was sickened to find I have yet to post our big news that everyone already knows about. WE ARE HAVING ANOTHER BABY... OH ITS A BOY!!!!!! I am 22 weeks today and I have already failed this kid as a mother by not sharing my news with the world. Ha or at least my blog. I am due Oct 27th and we are most definitely having a boy. Lets just say this little one was not shy for the ultrasound tech.

We are so excited to have a new little guy around. Kamron is very excited and is already acting like a great big brother. he blows on my belly and tells me a secret all the time "there's a baby in my belly". He Is so willing to let this baby share his room and toys and clothes. I am a little realistic and know that when tha baby does come it might all change.

I had my ultrasound at about 19 weeks and 5 days and everything looked good with the baby. My placenta is in the front so I don't feel (or didn't know I was felling) baby for a long time. This was really nerve racking because I felt Kam at like 16wks. Now knowing where I can fell him I realize I felt him between 17 and 18 weeks. I still cants feel him in the very front but i can in by back sides and top of my belly and he is sure getting stronger every day.

I am getting a little nervous about having two and being able to be a good mom to both. I worry about not loving them the same and not being able to divide my time up when I already feel like I have none. I am sure it will all work out in the end.

I am 99% positive we will name baby boy 2 Jaxton Allen Lish. Allen after my Dad! We, well I, have loved the name since i had kam but I don't think Garrett was as keen on it yet and Kamron was just a Kamron.

Anyways I have also realized I have not taken one pregnancy pic.... and really who wants to? But I will try to remember and get one posted in the next couple days. I feel huge, of course, and I swear I was showing at 8 weeks.

Anyways we are all supper excited and we can not wait to kiss his sweet little face!

So normally I dont brag about this but.. 4 paper towels, 1 digiorno single. 4 tide singles, 2 tostitos dips, 2 bags tostitos. 2 pkg magic erasers. two liter pepsi, 1 mustard, 4 old spice body wash, 1 pinaple 3 ears of corn...... 10 Dollars!! Wohooo!
