A Quick Little Trip to Seattle...............

We decided to take a quick little trip up to Seattle a couple of weeks ago. We checked into our hotel and then immediately took off walking around the city. We walked to Pike's Market, the Space Needle, to the Outback, and then we took the street car to the hotel. Luckily, we had the bike trailer, so Peanut stayed dry from the rain, and we didn't have to hold her when she got tired!
The next day, we went to the aquarium and had fun seeing the animals and walking around.
This is me at almost 31 weeks. I told Brad to stick me in the aquarium and I could be the live orca exhibit!
Peanut got to touch the starfish and the other creatures in here!
Then, she got to get her face painted! She loved having a whale on her face!

What we've been up to.....................

We decided to have a picnic up at Council Crest Park. We got there, laid our picnic blanket down, and looked up and this was our view from where we were sitting:
Mt Hood
Mt St Helens
Peanut loved playing in the grass. She also loved picking the flowers in the grass. She would blow on them and then tell us that she was "making wind"!

Brad's parents and sister were in town for a week and we had lot's of fun playing! We went to Silver Falls and had a picnic lunch before we hiked down to the waterfall. It was a little cold while we were there! I was warmer in February when we went than this time around!
We went to Cannon Beach and had lots of fun playing in the sand and flying kites and finding seashells! I love sitting on the beach and hearing the ocean. It is so relaxing!
Brad had his white coat ceremony and is now officially able to see patients in clinic! I am so proud of him and all of his hard work these past two years. It's exciting to see how far he has come! We love you and keep up the good work! Only two more years to go!

Updates.........

• Brad is officially done with school for a week! Yea! He has to do summer school, but at least he is a THIRD YEAR and gets to go into the clinic!

• Peanut is POTTY TRAINED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We got her a doll that can "swim" and she had to earn it by going potty. Every time she went she got a sticker on the box and after about 2 weeks, she finally got her doll! She has been dry for almost a month!
• The rain won't stop! It is May and it is still raining. It hailed 2 days ago. There is something wrong with that!
  
• I am in my THIRD Trimester! 3 months to go! I can't wait!
  
• We took Peanut bowling last night for the second time in her life. The first time, we didn't take pictures, so I had to make up for it last night. Here are a couple of my favorites:
  

Fun in the Sun!

It was such a nice week here and we took advantage of it! One day, instead of going to the park, we decided to go to the duck pond with some friends! Peanut LOVES feeding the ducks and I think her and her friend went through a half a loaf of bread in less than 5 min! It was worth it though! The ducks were hungry!
Later that day, we went out in the backyard and played with Peanut's new bubble machine. It was a hit!
Keep the warm sunny days coming!

Pictures from Disneyland!

Okay, so we spontaneously went to Disneyland a few weeks ago and had an absolute blast! Peanut loved it so much, although the first ride we took her on was Snow White and we didn't know that it would be scary for her! Oops! She told me after that ride that she wanted to go home! Luckily Dumbo saved her! It was a fun 2 days and we sure didn't want to come home. Hopefully we can go again soon and then I can go on some of the big rides!

For those of you who are interested in the gender of our baby, I had my ultrasound yesterday and we still don't know the sex! Our baby is extremely modest and kept its legs closed the ENTIRE time. I am bugged.
