wordless(ish) wednesday

When we told people we were heading to Branson,MO. this weekend, almost everybody told us to visit Silver Dollar City. It's a large amusement park that is themed in the old mining time and has lots of rides and shops and shows. I was a little hesitant going at first because, hello! we have lots of little people with us! But everyone told us it would be worth it and boy were they right!

  and just so you know. my three year old is fearless. seriously, if this kid was tall enough to ride it, he rode it. love the drive for adventure in this guy!

  we had a blast at Silver Dollar City. And you can just bet that we will be making another trip back there soon! You can see more pictures from our trip here. 

 Happy Wednesday!

today we had our big ultrasound! and even though we are waiting till birth to find out the sex of the baby i still couldn't wait to see this beautiful person growing inside of me. the baby was definitely moving and a little camera shy, hiding it's face into my stomach but we got to see the cute little profile and a strong heartbeat. we do however, have to go back for a more in depth ultrasound in a couple days due to a small shadow in the baby's stomach, but i was told not to worry and that 9 out of 10 times they go away and are nothing to stress over.(try telling that to a pregnant woman!) i also found out that i also have an anterior placenta, which explains why i only feel the baby kick on my left side. but i feel the baby moving quite often and even the husband has seen it move around. 

we do have to say that we are already so in love with this little person. i seriously haven't been able to stop looking at the cute profile pictures, trying to picture who this little one resembles the most. it's crazy to think that in a few short months this little one will be here! so excited!

well, we are off for a fun filled weekend! hope you all have a wonderful weekend too!!

our new nightly routine has been taking long walks along some of the beautiful paths at some of our favorite parks. sometimes we even stop to fish for a few hours at the lakes and ponds nearby. we are so loving this new adventure and look forward to it on the warm and crisp nights.

  i love watching . it's  always a new adventure every time we go and they  always get so excited.

and i stay behind the pack to wait for our little straggler. she always has to stop and look at bugs or pick out rocks or just sit for a bit to just watch everybody eles.

i love when we stay to watch the sunset and look for the moon and stars. 

i am just loving our walks.

happy wednesday!! hope you are having a wonderful week!

20 weeks

first off, let me just explain that this isn't the best picture of me at 20 weeks, with what looks like the missing hand and all, but we quickly took this picture this morning on our way out to take our mr. chase to meet his new preschool teacher for next fall. so this is the best i could come up with. but i am excited to say that we are now halfway done! only 139 days left! we are super excited for next week when we have our big ultrasound! and even though we aren't going to find out the sex of the baby i am just really looking forward to seeing him or her and making sure he or she is healthy. this week i have been super exhausted and i am wondering if the baby is on a growth spurt or if i am just really tired. i definitely have a bump now and lots of strangers are asking about the due date. we are still discussing names and probably will till we meet this little person. as for now i am really enjoying this pregnancy and loving every move and kick and hiccup i feel!

hope you all have a very wonderful weekend!

well, this post comes with few words(as a type with my one good hand). Last night i was involved in a little accident involving a children's book, a slippery kitchen floor and my awesome equilibrium. needless it ended not so pretty and i have two bruised palms and a small fracture in my right wrist. other than being bruised and sore, both the baby and i are doing great! so for the next few post you may see some pretty pictures with very few words.

  hope you are having a great week!

watching butterflies

Lately our afternoons are filled with play-dates outside of sidewalk coloring, bubbles, water and our new favorite thing, watching the butterflies. Their favorite place to land is in our corner garden and Fisher has found the best spot to just stand there and watch them.

He loves just watching them all and he hardly moves or distracts them.

i hope you had a beautiful weekend!

So I definitely feel like this week my belly just popped! I look and am really starting feel pregnant. It's getting kind of crazy! I mean, we are almost halfway done people! and in a few short months will have this tiny little person in our arms and home. It's exciting and a little terrifying too but I am definitely loving this little person so far. I love feeling little flutters and strong little kicks every now and then. I love trying to picture what this little one is going to look like. I have my big ultrasound in two weeks when I am 21 weeks and I cannot wait for that day! I just want to see this little person and make sure everything is a-okay. I have been thinking of lots of names and Wayne and I have started discussing the ones we like. And every time I ask my Chase man if mommy is having a boy or girl he always says girl. He also says it's a baby sister in mommy's tummy so maybe he knows more than we do. Either way we are almost halfway done and we can finally meet this little one!

hope you all are having a wonderful week so far!

When I first met my husband the first thing I immediately knew about him was that he was a semi-professional bass fisherman. Meaning, besides working his IT/Security Analyst job, he fished all the time. And I love his passion for it. Since we have moved his love for fishing has taken a backseat while we get situated and get our son the care he needs. But when we started having our beautiful children, Wayne could not wait for the day to finally take them fishing. 

Our first family fishing trip!

    I think we have a few naturals on our hands.

Baby girl wanted so badly to join in the fishing fun. I think it's safe to say that a princess fishing pole will be joining our collection soon. However, we did enjoy watching the boys fish and wonder through the trails and paths nearby.

The only thing we caught! A tiny little frog!

happy wednesday!
