Grandpa's Shadow

   I love to take my boy out to the grandparents "farm" they have acres of wide open spaces to run and explore. I don't have to worry about them running in the road or getting hit by a car. It is so relaxing and is truly a different world sometimes. Tanner is my dads shadow. As soon as " Pa" gets home Tanner has to put on his boots and "go to work".  His favorite his helping take care of his horses. I don't know how my dad does it all with Tanners helping hands but they both seem to enjoy it. Tanner saw my dad mowing the lawn the other day and decided he had to do it too. My parents lawn I swear is two acres  or something and Tanner helped my dad for almost all of it. It was hilarious he refused to let his grandpa do it alone. My poor dads back and legs were probably killing when he was done. ( Tanner tends too slow things down a bit)  And my dad is 6'3"and Little tanner is well really short. It was funny watching them walk together.  Later my dad built a fire in the driveway for Blake so he could roast marshmellows and "go camping". I am so thankful for my dad and for the love and patience he shows with my boys. They adore him and love to be farmers with "Pa".

21 weeks

    My family far away wanted some pictures so I decided to post some. I am 21 weeks on sat and still just look like I have ate way too much taco bell. These pictures are courtesy of my 5 year old Blake. These aren't the best but when I saw what Tanner was doing too it made me laugh. I didn't know he was showing his belly too until I looked at the pictures later. It is so fun Blake is so excited about the baby and is constantly asking questions about his sister. He wants to know where she will sit at the table or in the car or where her blankets are etc. He asks me every day how big the baby is now and last night I was laying in bed and my belly was poking out so I told him about how big the baby was and then showed him how big my belly would be before she would be able to come out. He says " that will take a long time and then your tummy will look like daddies" I couldn't stop laughing. Kyle was laying on the bed too and he laughed but I don't think he found it as funny as I did. I feel like I have to wear maternity shirts just to cover my ever growing bosoom, hopefully my stomach will catch up to my chest soon. I need to start keeping track in a book all the funny things Blake has been saying lately. I had to post just one more of his deep thinking. He once again was asking how big the baby was and I showed him with my hands and he stares at me for a long time and then says " that won't fit out of your mouth" . I informed him it wouldn't come out of my mouth but that the doctor would take it out of my tummy that didn't really satisfy him because he still keeps looking in my ears and at me and asking where will this baby come out.   He keeps me laughing all the time.
