27 years later!

August 22nd marked the 27th year of the greatest guy! Yes, John is another year older! Although he had to go to school that day, we enjoyed all the time we had to spend together. He was spoiled as usual. His early birthday present was a new set of golf clubs get received earlier this summer, but of course this year on his birthday he received a the I-Pod touch and lots of other gifts! We enjoyed yummy Marco's sub sandwiches for dinner at our favorite little park Glen park where we had a beautiful view of a waterfall. As soon as the nasty bugs came out and were biting us like crazy we went back home. We enjoyed our day together! Here are a few pictures of his wonderful birthday!






And a few pics of him close to 27 years ago, when I look back at John's baby pictures, I would be perfectly happy to have our little boy look as cute as he was! Check out that blond hair!



I must preface the next pictures with: this is my very first attempt to make some jewelry, I bought some beads on clearance forever ago, and decided to finally try to put them together and make something out of them!

27 week update

WOW! Things have been growing and moving around here. My belly is getting bigger on a daily basis, my belly button has officially "popped." John and I love to watch my belly and see it move all around. Our boy loves to kick and move. Luckily, I am still relatively comfortable, and have minimal complaints, Besides being exhausted when I come home from work, luckily John is patient and helpful. I can't believe that in just a few months the baby will be here. We have gotten a few pieces of furniture for babies room, a crib, changing table, and amoire. We are still looking at some crib bedding, and I am busy making a list of all of the baby essentials.



These next few are some pictures that John took while playing "photographer" and using different functions on our camera.

Boys Trip again!

Yes, John left me again last weekend for one last boys trip before he "really" starts school. I guess this makes up for all those times I have left him and gone home to Arizona. But while he was gone a few of the girls got together for some Dairy Queen and Olympics. Last weekend, six guys all piled in and off they went to the best amusement park, Cedar Point in San Dusky Ohio. The boys had a blast or so I am told. John and the rest of the guys I am sure acted like little 10 year olds, so excited and running to each ride! The day was beautiful and they spent the whole day there. Yes, they opened the park at 10 am, and closed it at 11pm! Needless to say John got home after 5 am Sunday morning!

Algonquin

John enjoyed a nice camping trip with his cousin Adam and a few other guys. He is trying to take advantage of this time he has before school starts again. Algonquin is located in Canada. They canoed in on a lake and camped for a few nights. They enjoyed day hikes, canoeing trips,fishing, and just relaxing in the beautiful park. They saw moose, and plenty of bugs I am sure. John even brought home two worms and a frog!! Not on purpose, we were unpacking and I about FLIPPED!

What a nice view.
Each night they would enjoy a nice sunset over the lake.
Showing off the catch of the day!

The camping boys.
Is that a moose in the water?!
