Step 2: Flower beds

We finally have gotten around to doing our flower beds...the grass just wouldn't die. This may turn out to be a grass bed! Hauling brick from the store into the car and then unhauling it into the garage was a work out for sure! I personally wouldn't sign up to do that-give landscapers lots of credit! Randy then hauled the brick, black dirt and mulch to the garden while I smoothed out the existing dirt and laid the brick to edge out the garden. We did alot of work in such a short amount of time. Then we planted all of our flowers. Wow on top of that Lauren got sick with some stomach virus and was vomitting on Sunday and we were up with her all that night! Needless to say we were EXHAUSTED!

Step 1: Garden

Putting in our vegetable garden. Man, are those bricks heavy!

One happy gardener!

Tuck your head and roll!

Lauren just started to be interested in doing somersaults...not sure where this came from, but she is quite well at doing them...just not that good at picking out spots to do them. She normally will start to do one right next to a piece of furniture and them she gets stuck. Gotta work on that placement!

We're....

So this is the reason that I haven't been on here lately--like the last two months. We officially found out the weekend of Easter. And decided to keep it a secret until recently. I have been feeling not so hot. The all.day.sickness has been here since week five (same as Lauren) and it is not good. I have been forcing myself to eat and drink, but sometimes that isn't enough and I end up getting sick. I learned with Lauren to keep stuff in my stomach and the importance it is for fluids to enter your body. I really want to stay out of the hospital this time!
Our due date is Dec. 8th. But I believe that I will deliver earlier. We are totally thrilled and Lauren is getting excited. She loves to play knock knock on my tummy and talk to the baby through my belly button...this is how the baby can hear.
Hopefully I am feeling better because to not enjoy the weather and be outside is aweful.

Saucy

This year we were once again excited to host "Sauce Weekend" at our new house. The guys decided to make about four different sauces ranging from their Mustard BBQ (look below) to the ever popular Worcestershire sauce--my favorite on a burger!

Grab a bottle and squeeze!!!!

Still squeezing!
