It's been a while

So, its been a long time since I've blogged. I decided to do something different for our family journal, so I probably won't be posting very often.

First, for the big news... I'm going to have a baby boy in July! We are so excited. Will doesn't quite get it, but he does know to say baby when I ask him what's in my tummy. He's still convinced its a girl though.

Will turned two in January. He is getting so big. He is talking a ton and loves to learn new things. He can count to ten by himself and knows all but three letters.

Mmm...Wendy's

While we were at the grocery store today,

I told Will we were going to get some pears.

He folded his arms for a prayer. What a good little boy!

Will loves Wendy's. He gets sad when we drive by and don't stop.

Today when we were leaving the grocery store,

I asked Will if he wanted to go get some chicken nuggets.

He told me "fries." He cracks me up!

Rocko's hoping to do some clean up.

Halloween

Will was our dog Rocko (Gocko Gocko) for Halloween. He looked so cute!

This is what happens...

when you leave Will alone for a few minutes.

Rocko probably had a weeks worth of treats before I caught them. Lucky dog!

This is actually the second time this has happened.

I think I learned my lesson this time!

the cabin

We finally made it up to the cabin this summer. The weather was perfect so we spent a lot of time outside. It was so nice to get away and just relax all weekend.

Will reading cookbook magazines with Grandma. They like to pretend to eat the food in the pictures.

Will thought it was fun to put things through the cracks in the deck. I lost an earring up there. I bet it is somewhere under the deck!

Isn't that the cutest little airplane swing?

Will's first Rhino ride.
