Bruce Beach #2

This is the REST of the week :)

 We got a family picture!!  Even with Schafer and TK Love's baby girl in it! :)

 Grandpa and Adelaide :)

Connor and Amelia had a great time playing!

Batman coming to Adelaide's rescue... 

Playing all day, wore them out... 

She even sleeps in a tutu :)  I love it!

 He loves playing outside!  Clothed or no...

My husband thinks he's funny...

Eatin' dinner at the kid's table :) Made it much easier for us to fit at the big table!

I love the smile behind the paci!!  Happy eyed baby! :)

He's like 'this stuff taste's awful! Why did you give me such a big spoon if it's not even tasty!' :)

Both of my boys love to play in the sand!  They'd play all day if you let them!

The cousins all had a blast getting their energy out in the sand!

Adelaide is so loving and Vale is such a boy... he's like 'yeah that's nice...' :)

So they had a metal detector thingy and found an old tire in the sand... this was our treasure. yeah. :)

Adelaide's face is too cute in this picture!  

My sweet blue eyed surfer boy :)

Mary taking the girls into the cold water! :)

Connor rip roaring and ready to go golf ball hunting!!

Vale thought this was one of those dandelion puffs... he kept trying to blow it away...

Vale's golf balls that he found. :)

Oh the pipers!! :)  Connor was sooo excited when they came around the corner! :)

Vale was pretty overwhelmed but was fine cause his brother was there with him. :)

Just takin it all in!

Had to nab a quick pic of me to prove I was actually on this vaca... :)

Connor love's his aunt kati!

Pretty much the only time we let the boys play in the street... :)

I also posted a Canada scenery blog... cause there were so many lovely pictures but didn't want to overload the blog with non-people pictures... :)

A week in paradise... ok... maybe just Bruce Beach...

We had a great time at Bruce Beach this year!!!  It was a little cold at the first part of the week and a bit rainy but it warmed up towards the end of the week!

 

 Trevor practicing with Connor for his future (His wife is due with their first on Dec 1st)

Vale was very excited about breakfast... or something... don't remember :)

Jimmy made a fire for us every morning... it was wonderful!

Our resident batman and his sidekick... :)

 I think they were waiting for the rain to stop... or maybe just watching bugs...

Vale being sweet on a cold beach evening.

The boys hitting rocks with sticks... or trying... :)

This kid, unlike his brother, does not mind being dirty at all.

The rain allowed us to play a lot of games... like dominion... :)

And sit by the fire and relax... with herbal tea... mmmmmm.... :)

Vale watching the sunset... gorgeous sunsets this week!!

So many reasons to celebrate!  The sun is out... he's eating a 'canada' muffin... he's on vacation... life's good!

Grandma doing puzzles with Connor :)

Connor's very excitable... :)

 Vale just doing his own thing with sand and a bucket... :)

He's balancing.... :)

I believe Connor is laughing here because he just dumped sand all over Vale's feet... 

Evening walks... sigh... relaxed life... aahhhhh....

Connor was so excited about this rock... he really wanted his picture taken on it.

They are nuts... already... I can't wait till we have a third crazy in the picture! :)

I am so blessed!!!  My men!

They LOVED that they could just throw rocks at will into the water!  Heaven on earth for a little boy!

The walk wore him out... that a long distance for his little legs!

He is dumping sand on his head.  Yup.  That's Vale for ya. 

Yeah Connor thinks he's crazy... :)

Things Connor has said...

Just a couple of things Connor has cracked me up with lately... 

Mommy I want to go to heaven but if Jesus doesn't have a bed for me, can I come home?

My Uncle was replacing the floor in my grandparents kitchen and we walked in the house towards the end of the projects.  The floor was mostly down but the trim had to be put in but all of the appliances were still removed.  As I walked through to take Connor to the bathroom his looked at the scene in the kitchen wide eyed.  Once in the bathroom he asked, 'who did that to the kitchen'  I answered excitedly, 'Uncle Tim did!' cause it looked great!  Then Connor said 'Are they upset?!?!?' :)  I wasn't expecting that. :)

Scenery Pictures of Bruce Beach

 Just some lovely scenes from Bruce Beach, Lake Huron and Kincardine Canada.

Baby Number 3!!!

Soooooo.... Welcome to the fam Schafer Allen Mahon!!!!!
I am 12w2d today!! 
Baby looks great and perfectly healthy!!!
Our due date is January 18th 2014.

I know that picture is upside down but the baby is much easier to see this way.  For the ultra sound challenged, the head is on the left, the middle bump is the belly, you can see the spine at the bottom and his little bum on the right.  His legs are hidden and you can't see his arms in this photo.

He gave us a nice spread eagle view today at the ultrasound to the point that I could tell he was a boy before the doctor said anything.
 I said, 'Ummm... is that a boy??' and the doctor said, 'You saw that too huh??' :)
He was very confident so we feel ok sharing it with everyone.
He even gave us a picture but it's a big graphic so I'm not gonna post that one...

My belly popped out big time last month!!!! It's almost like it's done this before or something... ;-)

 
We traveled around for the whole month of June to the point that I almost forgot I was pregnant.
One nasty symptom I've had is I get carsick (which for me is just really dizzy) very easily which stinks since we had an obscene amount of road trips during this vaca!
But thankfully, I haven't thrown up once.  This pregnancy is very much like Connor's so I'm not surprised that it's a boy.

This is the first ultra sound at around 7 weeks.  Just a little blob... :)

This sums up the whole month of May:
So I have had some SERIOUS sleep issues with this baby!

It seems I can't sleep more than 3 hours at a time for the moment and that poses a problem when I have 2 wee ones running around wrecking havoc!

Providentially, God allowed me to get pregnant and start exuding symptoms right as my hubby gets out of school for the summer!  It's almost like He knows what's going to happen before I do... :)  His timing is so perfect.

I haven't felt nauseous so far at all with this baby... I had one afternoon of slight queasiness when we were out in 100 degree heat for about 3 and a half hours but not sure that had anything to do with pregnancy... :)
