Baby Number 3 is on the way!

Mommy and Daddy went to the first ultrasound.  The baby is 9 weeks 1 day at this point.  You can see arm buds off to the side.  Mommy and Daddy can't wait to find out if it is a boy or girl...too bad they have to wait until September.  Mommy is due January 31st! 

Elijah in relaxed mode

This kid is always relaxed.  He is either propping up a foot or relaxing in beach chairs on the beach. 

Day on the beach

We all decided to visit Nana for the weekend and to go to the beach.  Elliott loved it and loved having cousins around to play with in the water..

Elijah...not so much!  He takes after his Mommy and doesn't like the sand.  He also didn't like that Mommy was using Daddy's phone to take pictures because that meant he couldn't play the ABC game on the phone.   He constantly says..."Me..E.  Me...E"  At least he knows all of his letters now!

Aunt April was nice enough to take Elijah out into the water.  Problem...he wanted to stay there by himself and the waves were kind of rough.

When Aunt April got tired Uncle Joe took over...thanks, Uncle Joe!

Uncle Steve playing with kiddos!

What a sunny day for the beach!  Not an hour after this photo we realized why there were so many cars going away from the beach....tropical storm headed our way!

Cousin time at Nee Nee and Pops

Nothing better than a good game of ping pong between cousins!  Not sure how many balls actually made it across the net but we had fun!

Quality time with Nee Nee watching TV!

Homemade ice cream is so yummy at Nee Nee and Pops' house!

One dirty little kid.

Nee Nee took Noah and I to the store get Spiderman webshooters.  We are so lucky!  Too bad we lost all of the bullets within one day.

I was playing turtle in the driveway.

We went to pick blueberries at Rutland's Farm and we got about 10 blueberries total.  It was the end of season but at least we got to play on a cool playground.

We even got to see bees!

And ride on a tractor!

Pops stayed behind while everyone else picked blueberries and chased Elijah around. 

Spending quality time on the swings with Pops!

We were finally realizing after 10 minutes that 10 blueberries was it so back to the playground we went!

Telling the good news!

So...Mommy saw this great idea for telling family when you are having another baby... You take everyone's picture and instead of saying cheese ..you say...Lori's pregnant!  This is the reaction they gave...total shock!

Here is the reaction after Mom said to pretend to not be shocked!

Father's Day "SuperDAD" Weekend

We went to Nee Nee and Pops house for Father's Day weekend.  April and Joe, Brad and Shell, and the rest of us got to hang out for the weekend.  The theme for Father's Day this weekend is SuperDAD!  We had all of the different superhero decoration there.  I picked out the Spiderman napkins and all of the plates and cups that the kids used. 

Mommy got pictures of the men with us kids and got them framed.

I am so lucky to have such a cool dad!

Noah, Dad and I had matching outfits!

Elijah says Uncle Brad's name all the time.  He loves his uncles lots and lots!

Enjoying some Mexican food!

I gave Dad his cards but I couldn't let him open them... I had to help.

Yippee!!! Dad got an X-box for Father's Day! 

Uncle Brad is reading his present from Noah. 

Pops got a cool gift!  He got a gift card poster....it required some creativity!  Thanks, Aunt Kristi!

Pops you are the best!

Ice Cream Trip

Grandma sent us some money to go get some ice cream!  It was so yummy!  Thanks, Grandma!

Elliott went Poo Poo in the Potty

I went poo poo in the potty and Mom said that as soon as I did I could go somewhere fun.  I chose to go to Zoink's, the bouncy house.  Mommy is so proud of me because she said as soon as we ran out of pull-ups that she wasn't going to buy anymore and I said ok.  I just sat on the potty and haven't had a problem since.  Mommy kept telling me how proud she was of me so about halfway through the day I went up to Mommy and told her..."Mommy, I am so proud of myself for going poo poo in the potty."  Mommy thinks I am the cutest!

Elijah's favorite...."baketball!"

Putting the tickets in so we can get candy!

Oh how much we love candy!!
