Our Weekend

Friday, JaNae and Justin and the kids and Stephen and Emma came over. We had so much fun eating pizza and playing games and talking all night. Saturday we went to one of our favorite stores, Cactus and Tropicals with Stephen and Emma. If you like exotic plants or just want a breath of fresh air, you have to go to this place. It's like walking into a rainforest! Jon bought a Bonsai tree there a few months ago and there are so many other fun plants like fresh Heather and orchids. The kids loved walking around the store and finding all the stone animals and water fountains.



This is where we hang out just about every night, playing Agricola. It's the #1 board game of the year and Jon and I are hooked.

I can't wait for the baby to be born because I know I am going to have a good little helper. Jaina loves to hold and rock her babies and even feed them.

Hunter has a new favorite toy, silly putty. He loves making it into a ball and bouncing it all over the house and he loves making snakes. Then he'll tear its head right off.

I am now 19 weeks pregnant! Almost half way through...Hurray!!! The baby is moving around alot. It is the neatest, wierdest feeling. When I ask the kids where the baby is, they'll point to my tummy. If I ask them where their baby is, they'll pat their tummies!

It was nice to get out and get some 'fresh" air, although the air is probably fresher in our house. Jon helped the kids find some bugs.

Yay! Preggo pictures, way cute! You are gorgeous! We need to find out details about the store, we are always looking for good orchids. We're excited to see the baby, the time is flying! Just please don't let Emery push him around in a stroller.

Those pictures are beautiful of you guys. You are a very cute pregnant lady. Our neighbors are serious boardgamers and they have taught us how to play Katan. You guys will have to join us sometime. We are not very good but we love to play.

Mandi you are so gorgeous! I can't believe you look that beautiful pregnant and with two other kiddies to take care of! Jaina looks like a mommy pro and I'm sure she'll love the new baby. Hunter is growing so fast! I remember Carson loving silly puddy, and the two pairs of jeans I ruined by sitting on it! :) I know someone who can help you shape your bonzai tree...his name is Mr. Belding!

You look so cute Mandi. It is crazy how fast pregnancy goes after the first one. At least that is how mine was. We need to get together sometime. Maybe when it starts to warm up a bit and RSV isn't a problem anymore! Have fun!

I haven't read blogs forever, I'm glad to see that you are doing well. Have you thought of any names for your little boy yet?

Mandi, you have such a beautiful little family. Seriously, Hunter's a handsome little devil, and Jaina is just precious! I'm sure #3 will also be a babe. :)

I've never heard of thie Agricola game...I heart games a lot though, so I think I'll have to look into it. :)
