Re: AW Thursday
DH is painting the exterior of our house this weekend.
I've almost got everything ready for the big birthday party.
Gabriel is saying words now. Yesterday his new one was "quack quack". He has also said "Car go" and "tra" (train).

DS started clapping and it's the cutest thing ever! I'm trying to teach him high-fives now and it's hilarious!
My other AW is pretty lame, but I've managed to cook 4 meat/veggie baby recipes this week on top of working FT and all the other crap I usually have to do. I'm feeling pretty good about that.
We made pretty good progress on the house this week, can't wait to sand and paint this weekend!!!
Sophie has added "dirt" and "rawr" to her vocab - too funny!
Today is my Friday! And a date night is in the works for this weekend... we need it!
and I would like to show some love to my sump pump! Our basement is nice and dry, despite the river shutting down a bunch of roads near my house.
We got Nathan's 6 month pictures and I love them!
That is cute, the first thing my H started teaching M was touchdown, he said she had to be ready for football season! Lets just say she is a pro at doing touchdown now...
I'm excited to get stuff done around the house this weekend (at a leisurely pace of course).
not too much here. going camping this weekend, thats about it.

CONGRATS!!!! And AWWW - what a cute idea. I hope you have a great dinner!
We decided last night we are going to take a couple mini vacations this summer (up north to tawas, down to toledo) so I have to check out our calendar this weekend and figure it out.
This weekend I will be flying solo which is awesome ... me and the Murs hanging out, doing nothing
Tomorrow I think I am going to Ikea for work during work!
Saturday is my baby's 1st birthday. I've planned his big birthday brunch from 7 hours away. I make the boys cakes every year and this year I will too- Very Hungry Caterpillar theme. I made and frosted caterpillar and apple cookies last night (he eats 1 apple-- 1 year old). I'll make the caterpillar cake tomorrow night. Sunday we're FINALLY baptizing B too.
My mom just called and said she was going to try to get my sister to find alternative babysitter for my neice the week of the 6th so my mom and dad can come visit me while dh is out of town! Made my day
I get to go see my family again this weekend and have a double date night with my BIL and SIL- godparents to B. So excited!!!
Getting back to it- my diet and exercise blog

DH's 2 days home to celebrate Joshua's 1st b-day has now turned into 2 weeks home (last week & this week). We leave Sat. for Florida (wedding on the 4th, Kaitlyn is a flower girl in it) and I can't wait for 8 days w/o him doing any work, just us a family. We'll do Disney World on Monday & Wed. we see a Tampa Rays baseball game (#17 or 18 on our list of stadiums visited). DH was suppose to go back the Mon. after we return, then tells me this morning he doesn't have to be in Cincy (his new project) until the Wed. after we get back! It's been great being a family again during the week. I know it'll be hard when we does go back.
On a BR note: Joshua has learned to lift up both arms in the air when we say "touchdown!". We taught Kaitlyn to do it at 9 months since it was football season then, yeah, we're the crazy sports family, I love it!
We get the keys to the house on Sunday!!
Then Shopping spree
Mommy's little helper
Thanks. We were talking about whether we can actually afford it this year, but we are making it happen. i don't want to lose the tradition and we have nothing else planned.
Exciting!
Lots of good AWs this week!
Had an ultrasound the other day ....got to see my baby's face he has the cutest chubby cheeks... and looks like I will be induced next week ....if he doesn't come out sooner......looks like an early June bug for us
with our favorite OB doctor delivering him 
Little man still hasn't decided to come out, huh? I've been thinking about you!!Good luck!
Thank you Ritzy ...nope not yet....he will be evicted this time next week ....
