I DID IT!!

There have been so many things I have wanted to Blog about the last few weeks, but I just haven't gotten around to it. So many other things to be doing, like cleaning, organizing, playing, and every once in a while sleeping! But here are a few things that have been going on.

1. Briton is HILARIOUS!! He is on this kick where after eveything he does, he says "I did it!" He is even saying it in his sleep which is even cuter! I'll get a video soon! He has been sick for over 2 weeks now with all different sorts of things and hopefully one day he will get better. We're just glad the throwing up/diareah(sp?) is over! That was sure fun! But now his ears are leaking non stop and he's not sleeping at night! Fun too! ANYWAYS... the point I was tryin to make is that even though he has been super sick, he is still so happy and loves making us laugh. He also wants to play basketball all day long and is getting pretty good at shooting it and not just letting it fall into the hoop. He's got a pretty nice jump shot for a 19 month old! He also loves to color and will sit at the bar forever and just scribble all over. (did i mention he talks all day long)

He did draw on the tiles the other day, but it came right out, so i'm just waiting for the whole coloring on the walls phase. Lets see. He also can say his name and when he looks in the mirror and you ask him who it is he says "Briton." And he absolutely loves to look at himself in the mirror. He's getting really good at animal sounds and loves to roar like a lion. We went to a chinese restraunt the other day and they had these lion statues and he just sat there and roared at them. He's starting to... how do i put this, become aware of his bodily functions and when ever he toots, he grabs himself and looks at us and smiles. He is also starting to bring us diapers when he needs to be changed. Does this mean potty training soon? That scares me! Both Grandma's and Grandpas have paid us a few visits the last few weeks and he has loved it!
Here's a cute video of him with grandpa.

2. Justin has started soccer and we miss him coming home right after school. They have their first game on Friday and we're super excited to go watch! My dad made these cute shirts for us and we can't wait to wear them! Go DADDY!!
3. I'm still pregnant:) and last week I hit that I'm miserable stage and just want the baby out! I'm at a 3 already and just hoping that she will come over spring break so that Justin can be home with us for almost 2 weeks. Spring break starts on Friday, so cross your fingers for us. Knowing our luck she'll come the day after Spring Break ends and we'll have sat at home all break just twiddling our thumbs! That's what happened with Briton so we'll just plan on that. (He decided to come the 2nd day the teachers had to be back for school.) But really we're still not ready for her. The crib was finally ordered last night, her room is still a disaster, and really are you ever fully ready for a new baby to come into your lives! So i'll keep you posted, if she's not here by the 27th my doc is gonna start me, I think I can make it til then.
4. We have decided to take on all these projects around the house and hope to get them done over spring break. We're putting more grass in our backyard, adding a sandbox, digging up our nasty pond and putting in a much nicer and easier to maintain fountain, and we're gonna attempt to put a new playset together without killing each other. Anybody free next week, we'd sure love your help. Maybe if there was someone else helping us there won't be any casualties:) So yeah, we're crazy, but won't all that be so nice to have done when the baby comes!

5. We also got to go see JD play at State in Cedar a couple weeks ago. Unfortunately they didn't do great (unlike the girls who took state! Go ladycats!), but it was fun to watch him play and spend time with family.

So i'm slacking on my picture taking and will hopefully get better over the next few weeks and I will have some pictures of whats happening in our lives.
