Happy Birthday Scott!

Happy Birthday to my fabulous husband Scott! He wanted to sit around the house today and do absolutely nothing...so we let him! Dylan and I escaped for a few hours to let him have some peace and quiet. I hope he enjoyed it...especially since the 2nd baby is coming within a few weeks. It'll be a long time before he gets peace and quiet again!

Balloon Glow

Last night we braved the crowds and headed to Forest Park for the balloon glow. While it was a LOT of walking (we parked very far away) I think it was worth the visit. Dylan wasn't sure what to think. I could tell when we were getting too close to a balloon he wasn't sure about because his grip would get a little tighter. He though it was so neat that the balloons went up high though. He kept pointing out the candles on top of the energizer bunny birthday cake. Then we would sing Happy Birthday to Daddy, because his b-day is coming up!

It's hard to tell, but that's Scott and Dylan on the right.

One of the highlights was the energizer bunny balloon with his birthday cake. The bunny is 20 years old now!

They lowered the bunny balloon in between glows, so everyone could touch his feet. After a little encouragement, Dylan thought it was kind of fun to touch it. The thrill did not last very long though...he was nervous being so close to the balloon!

I enjoyed all the colorful balloons.

I think this is just a neat picture.

34 Weeks!

I had my 34 week check up today. She said I'm actually measuring at 35 weeks. She must have seen my face light up because she was very quick to inform me that it doesn't mean this baby will arrive a week early. I told her I think that's just what she's supposed to say...she just kind of laughed at me. She wants me to get an ultrasound next week to see exactly how big this baby is measuring! I'm all about having this baby early so bring it on! By early I mean after the 36 week mark, but before the 40 week mark. Dylan was born 2 weeks early...that would be perfect. If I get to keep any ultrasound pics next Wednesday I'll be sure to post them...and I'll definitely keep you guys in the loop about this baby boy. Now, if only Scott and I could agree on a name. He might seriously be named Baby Monkey at this point. :)

Golf Lessons

We ended the day with dinner at Mama & Papa's house. Here's some fun pics of Papa giving Dylan a quick golf lesson.

I would say check out this swing through...but the ball is still there. It's very possible that he was trying out his left hand swing on this shot. He hasn't quite decided if he wants to swing right or left...he's the same way when we practice tee ball. That could be good, right? Start perfecting both ways and bring in the money! That way he can take care of Mom and Dad when he's older and playing professional sports!

I love that one leg is straight and one is bent. I know nothing about golf...but I'm pretty sure that's not how Papa taught him!

I just thought this one was funny. I love the diaper sticking out! He seems very serious!

Kiener Plaza

After playing at City Gardens for awhile, we headed over to Kiener plaza to see the All Star game arches. I thought they were pretty neat...I think Scott thinks he saw all he needed to see when we drove past them. Dylan got to run around some more, and that's really all that counts. Burn as much energy as possible!

You can barely tell, but Scott and Dylan are standing right in front of the fountain in this picture of the real arch.
Here's Dylan running through all the arches. He was so excited I was letting him run that far!

Here's Dylan and I under one of the arches. We were doing "Ta Da!" And, I had no idea my shirt was all goofy like that. I later explained to Scott that I can longer see below my belly button, so if my shirt is caught like that he has to tell me! He said he didn't even notice it. Good thing I had a tank top on, huh?

Here's Scott and Dylan walking through the World Series arches. Dylan loves being up high!

Even Scott is smiling! I don't think he would admit it, but it looks to me like maybe, just maybe he was having fun. He was really hoping we were going to lay around and do nothing all day. I'm a little nervous that we'll be doing a lot of nothing once the baby is born, so I want to get out as much as possible now. Plus, I want to get in all the Dylan time I can...he won't be the only one for much longer!

City Gardens

We finally made it down to the City Garden this past weekend. I've been wanting to go since it opened, and we just haven't had time. It was a gorgeous day outside, so we took advantage of it! At first Dylan didn't want to get out of his stroller at all, but he eventually warmed up to it. Here's Scott pushing Dylan through the water fountains before Dylan would get out of the stroller. He kept saying he didn't want to get wet.

I was trying to coax Dylan out of the stroller by showing him how cool it was to walk on the rocks. I don't think I knew I was getting my picture taken, but it turned out to be a decent belly pic. I'm 34 weeks along now!

Yay! I finally got him to get out of the stroller! Once he was out, he had a blast.

It's a little hard to tell, but that black part is actually water flowing down. Dylan loved splashing in it.

Here he is trying to run away from Scott's big splash!

Happy Birthday Heidi!

We hope you have a great day!
