10 Years of Marriage....Always an Adventure!

Jason and I have been married 10 years! It's so hard to believe that we met each other 13 years ago at a bar in Georgetown, and now we've been married 10 years and will have our 3rd child in a few weeks. Life is going by so fast, but we are trying to enjoy every minute of it.

Unfortunately, we didn't get to celebrate the way we wanted to....with a weekend getaway to Florida. Instead, we spent our anniversary with the lovely nurses and doctors at Anne Arundel Medical Center. I'm 31 weeks pregnant with our 3rd son, and I went into preterm labor with strong contractions 3 min apart on Wednesday night. So, I went to the doctor Thursday morning...after spending the whole night running my oldest son, Colby, back and forth to the bathroom or rubbing his back as he puked into a bucket. Poor guy. Luckily, just a short lived bug that didn't spread to the rest of us!

I probably should've gone into the hospital Wednesday night, but Jason was out of town (just in Reston), so I couldn't leave my big guy with the neighbor like that.

Anyways, the doctors were able to stop the contractions. So, now I'll be on bedrest for the next 5 weeks. We've been scrambling to figure out how to keep the boys entertained so I can stay off my feet so this little guy can grow a little more. After a few interviews, we found a wonderful nanny who the boys love playing with. Jason has taken over the role of cooking, cleaning, bathing, and putting the kids to bed every night...along with his normal job.

So, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to my sweet, kind, giving, husband who is always there for me and our family. I love you, and I look forward to many more decades together.

TBALL

Colby has been playing Tball the past few weeks. We've had a great time watching him at his games.

Sometimes he plays in the dirt...

 Sometimes he looks for us and smiles...

 Ready to stop the ball!

My sweet ball player

 The coach pitched the ball to them today, and Colby hit it!

 Running to 1st base...love his tongue hanging out!

 GOOOO TIGERS!

So Proud! Getting his 1st Trophy!

Airshow

We took the boys to Andrews Airforce Base for the annual joint services airshow. We had a great time checking out all the airplanes and watching them do tricks.

One of the highlights of the day...Thor, Iron Man and Captain America showed up!

The Blue Angels finished up the show

Furniture Fun

Lately, the boys have been playing SOOOOO well together. They're using their imaginations (and all our chairs) to make fun trains and forts to play in. They can play with these chairs for a good hour or so. I'm loving it! :)

Strawberries

I took the boys to a local u-pick farm to get some strawberries. We had a lot of fun picking (& eating) the strawberries. We brought them home and made muffins, bread and lots of other yummy things.

Egg Hunt Eggstravagazna

We had lots of fun hunting for Easter Eggs this year...a neighborhood egg hunt, a hunt on the beach, and 2 in our back yard! The boys were pros by the end of it! :)

First, was our Annual Neighborhood Egg Hunt. Logan wasn't too sure what was going on at first.

Colby helping out his little brother...he's such a good big brother!

Colby participated in a couple egg races

Next: Egg Hunt at the Beach, Rehoboth Beach, DE.

Dying Easter Eggs at home.

Lastly, our own Easter Egg Hunt in our backyard.

My sweet boys.

Logan was not into having his picture taking...he just wanted to find more eggs.

Playground Fun

With all the warm weather, we've spent a lot of time at the playground lately. Colby is so excited that he knows how to do the monkey bars now.

Love this little guy!

Big Brothers

Colby and Logan are very excited to welcome a new baby brother to our family this summer! :)

Monterey & Carmel, CA Trip

Jason had to go to CA for a work trip, so I flew out for the weekend. We drove down the coast on Hwy 1 to Monterey and Carmel, CA. The drive was beautiful.
