Blue Harbor Weekend

Wow, that was such a fun weekend!! Brock had a blast in the waterpark and it was pretty fun for the adults too! We had a great condo and it was nice that all 15 of us got to stay together in one unit. We played games after the kids went to bed and Guitar Hero and just talked and laughed. Nice to have some adult only time with people who you don't see very often. We will be going back there soon, it was so much fun. Rumor has it we have a condo booked for October already!! I would recommend it to anyone who has kids looking for a quick winter getaway!

Update

Well, we are anxiously awaiting our little guy to arrive in a short 8 weeks (or hopefully less)!! This pregnancy has flown by so fast. Brock is almost 20 months old already and that is so sad, he is becomming such a little man, growing out of the baby stage every day. He insists on doing everything himself. He must put his own shoes ona nd pull up his own pants and brush is own teeth!! Some days it is a huge help and other days, just way too time consuming. We leave tomorrow to head to Blue Hrabor Resort for a long weekend away from home! We are meeting some of Twigs family there for a relaxing weekend at the waterpark and since it will be our last little get away beofre Drayke arrives, I am so looking forward to it! I will post picures when we get back next week!!

Christmas 2008

The holidays are finally comming to a close and we had suchm a good time. We were blessed to see most of our family and friends and spend theis joyus season with them. Brock was not too sure about Santa but he did have a good time opening his presents and playing with all his cousins. We had the Dahlquist side of the family over for Chiristmas Eve, I made Lasagna, Garlic Bread and a Salad. It turned out very nice! Christmas morning we all went to my parents for brunch and to open gifts and to see Santa!! Our friend Bob played santa for the little kids and they loved it!! Bob did an awsome job! After that we went to the Dahlquist Grandparetns houe fro presents and dinner and games.......that is always a good time. The Arrowood side of the family met at a hotel on Saturday night so the kids could swim and we didn't mess up anyones house!! Which I appreciated. Brock had a great time swimming and playing with all the cousins he rarley sees. I was completely exhausted by the end of the night but it was well worth it! It is hard to believe that next year at this time we wil have a 21/2 year old and a 9 month old.....oh boy how our lives have changed in the past couple years. It has been amazing watching Brock grow and change and we can't wait for the next 80 dasys to fly by so we can met the newest member of the Arrowood family!

Back from Vacation

Well, we made it back from vacation in one piece. We had one heck of a good time and the weather was nice for the most part! We spent 3 days in Florida and 6 days at sea. We left Fort Lauderdale, spent one day at sea, then Cozumel, then Belize, then 2 days at sea back to Fort Lauderdale. The weather in Cozumel was beautiful but Belize was rainy and humid. The boat was very nice and much better than the last one we went on in March!! The food was not the best which was very disappointing ot a pregnant lady. LOL !! Very nice to be back home thugh with my boys, I missed them alot. Brock was so excited to see me when he got up from his nap, I snuck in there and he had the biggest grina dn ran right over to me. My hubby even seemed excited to have me back home, I don't think that will last very long once I start hading out orders for chores again!! We did come home to 6" or so of snow which I could have done without.

The holidays are upon us!

It is hard to believe that it is almost Thanksgiving already! This year just is going by so fast. My mom took some very cute pictures of Brock in this Santa suit. He is very excited about Santa or as he says "Sante". We wil see how excited he is when it comes time to actually see him! We leave tomorrow for Green Bay for the Arrowood Thanksgiving, it should be a good time. Then I leave next Saturday morning with mom and Clarice for our cruise!! I am super excited and can't wait to get to some warmer weather! I can say, I'm a little nervous about leaving my boys home alone for 10 days. I know I wil miss them terribly!

It's a ............

Well, we had our Big Appointment today, the baby was measuring at 20w3d, right where it should be. It was weighing 12oz and 10" long. It moved all over the place and made the ultrasound tech work hard to find "its" genitals. When she did find them, it was very apparent that "it" is officially a boy! Daddy was completely estatic, since he wasn't too sure about a girl. As for me, I was excited, but so sad at the same time. I am actally tearing up just writting this, I wanted a girl with all me heart but I am very happy that he is healthy and growing like he needs to be. It will just take me a couple days to get used to it. There is an adorable picture of his face they gave us. He was yawning and moving all over. We had a cool shot of his legs from the hips down, it showed his femur and knees and eveything right down to his toes but she didn't send that picture home with us. Anyhow, Brock will be welcoming a little brother in March and we can't wait to meet him! As for me, I have the "all go" for my cruise in a couple weeks and I need a vacation. I'm thinking I will not be able to talk daddy into staying home with 2 little guys this time next year. This should be my last "girl" trip for quite a few years.

Happy Halloween

Oh, so Brock's first Halloween that he actually could participate in was a blast! He did very well witht he dressing up thing and he carried the candy bag pretty well too. He wasn't caring about getting the candy, he just liked walking the streets and playing in the leaves! We mainly just went by the grandparents, great grandparents and Aunts and Uncles houses. We then took a walk around town just to get out since the weather was so darn nice. We dresses Zoe up too, she was ess than impressed but Brock really enjoys walking her with the leash so it was worth it. We stopped by Joe and Tiff's to see Taylor in her Ladybug suit and Brock just wanted to give her kisses!
