Oh Baby:)

 18 weeks                                                                   19 weeks
     

20 week sonogram! Everything is looking good. I still have a few minor issues that will hopefully all be cleared up soon. We are still keeping the baby's gender a secret and I can't wait to meet him or her in 4 more months! If you remember or have seen Andrew lately, you can tell this profile picture is his profile EXACTLY!! These little hands, toes and nose are unbelievable. LOVE!

Captain Lazy Pants

He must have taken after me…this is how I like to eat my cake too:)

Trip to Michigan/Ohio

We took a whirlwind trip to Michigan and Ohio to see family and celebrate Grandma Urbanski's 90th birthday. We made a quick lunch stop at Grandma and Grandpa Bailey's where it was so nice to catch up for a few minutes. They both seemed to be doing well and the boys had fun visiting for a bit.

 We then headed down to Findlay and saw a huge slew of family and cousins. The boys loved playing out in the yard and with instant friends. It really makes me miss living close to more family and cousins.

 Cousin Sophia loved Ryan and he loved her-it was so cute. She is the only girl with 8 boys cousins.

 Her little brother Greyson-the only good shot of all the cousins there that I got!

 Rough housing with the daddys and uncles

 Grandma's party was huge. Lots of family and tons of her friends. I think she had a great time.

                                           Cousins Kerry, Erika, Becky and Daniel

                                           Dottie, Nancy, LuAnne, and John

 Little cousins Andrew, Austin, Sophie, Greyson, Ryan, Aiden and Wyatt

                        Being big helpers and delivering cake

                                   Smooooooooshing cake

                           Mouth wide open while feeding just like Daddy does when feeding babies

                                        Making muscles with G-ma

                                                         Missed you Pat!!

                                              Helping carry the flowers out!
It is nice to get up north-west each year. It completely amazes me how much I miss the grass in the backyard until its gone! Happy almost birthday Grandma U!

Cupcake Class at Butter Lane

CUPCAKES GALORE!!!

 Larissa, Kathy and I bought a Groupon for Butter Lane's cupcake making class. It was a lot of fun and we came home with a bazillion cupcakes.

The chef teaching the class cracked us up. She would give instructions and we would try to follow them, but she would jump in that she didn't say 'yet.' We learned some great cupcake recipes and delicious icing recipes and tricks for yummy cupcakes.

I think I ate most of cupcakes-good thing I am eating for 2!

School and Sweetness

 Andrew is SUPER excited every afternoon when I pick him up to show me things around his classroom. I personally LOVE this self portrait:) He is doing well now and we can't wait to see what the year holds!

 Ryan and Quinn playing at the playground-burying our tootsies as Ryan says.

 Ryan wants to be a big kid so bad

 We have these rare moments when they are both so sweet you can hardly stand it.  This picture was one day when they wouldn't stay in childcare at the gym but would play on the treadmill beside me.

 At dinner every night we talk about our favorite part of the day, least favorite, etc..  Andrew told me his least favorite this particular day was that Ryan couldn't go to school with him. I told him that after we move home when he is in third grade Ryan would be in Kindergarten and they would ride the bus together.  Then when he is a senior in high school Ryan would be a freshman and they could either ride together or maybe even just walk together if they went down the street. Ryan was listening at that point and he chimed in "I hold Annews hand." So sweet. All he heard was the walking part and he knew he wanted to hold his big bro's hand. Andrew tried to correct him-Ryan, we will be big then (like, duh, I wouldn't be caught dead…)

This is how they fall asleep every night after some arguing. Then we move Ryan to his own bottom bunk. Yes, that is sweat on Andrew.

Ryan's First Day of Preschool

Ryan started school! Well, kind of:) He goes two days a week for two hours. The first day was super successful. He didn't see me sneak out and didn't even cry! The next few days weren't quite as successful, but once he was pulled away he settled quickly and seems to enjoy it when I pick him up. He is exhausted but super high energy when I pick him up and now I just need to figure out when he can nap! 

MADONNA!!

Okay, so all these pictures are really horrible. 

But, Larissa and I saw MADONNA at Yankee Stadium! It was so cool!

It basically rained ALL day and we were a bit worried that we were going to be soaking wet. But, we got lucky and are seats were under an overhang! Thanks Rob! 

She put on an amazing show. She mainly sang stuff off of her new album which kind of sucks, but did manage a few oldies but goodies. It was very showy and VERY loud (maybe I am just getting old?!) but was a once in a lifetime experience. So glad I got to go!

1 And I was up waaaay past my bedtime. She didn't even come onstage until 1030!
