HALLOWEEN

Tytan was the cutest little lion for Halloween. It was hard to get a good picture of him in his costume but I tried. Pete's school had a trick or treating fiestival so Tytan and I had to check it out. It was actually really fun. They had trick or treating in the rooms and then had games, a jumping castle, and a giant blow up slide. I think I snacked on more garbage then should be allowed. His costume was so hot I had to change him so he could go play! He loved the jumping castle so much He didn't want to come out. He kept running up to the side and Roaring at me. I felt too pregnant to climb up to the top of the giant slide with Tytan so my friend Amber was nice enough to do it for me. Thanks Amber!!

Visiting Daddy at work before going to Party. Poor dad was stuck working not playing. Sorry the next few pics. all are kinda the same but he was such a cute lion I couldn't just pick one. Notice the shiner on his right eye. We were playing hide and seek and he tried hiding under my bed but hit his eye on the bed frame.

Room for Baby

I've been a little anxious to get started on the new baby's room. Little by little Pete and I are converting the office into our little boy's bedroom. We moved the desk and computer into our bedroom and got rid of tons of other random junk that we had stored in there. As soon as the room was empty I was so excited to get started on painting it. I love love love painting a room. It just feels so clean when its done. So I decided this room was going to be light blue, dark blue, and red. After drawing out a few ideas I finally decided on this setup of the three colors. I really like the final look. Pete really likes it too he just laughs and says it looks like the top of a tube sock. I'll have to post more pics. when the whole room is complete (curtains, pictures, furniture...) Now the wait is on for our still nameless little boy. Three months and counting!

This weekend we went on an off roading/camping trip with a bunch of Pete's buddies from Tucson and Vegas. We went somewhere in between Jerome and Prescott Valley. It was absolutely Perfect. The Pine Trees smelled divine and it was only an hour and fourty five minutes away. The only slight draw back was it was freezing. I was so excited for the cold but it got down to the thirties at night and for me that is too cold without a heater. Everyone went off roading during the day but since I'm pregnant and have a one year old that was out of the question for me. Pete was nice enough to stay back at camp with me. We got a lot of family time which we so desperetly needed. It was nice to go hiking with the family in the awesome cool air. I already miss the pine trees but I think my bed beats an air mattress any day. They both had to taste the bumper to make sure it was still ok. SICK!! Sticks, rocks, and anything covered in dirt were his favorite part of the trip. Of course Diesel (aka Tytan's BFF) had to come join in on the fun! Pete just couldn't resist eating his neck. The only picture I had of me but here is a pic. of my baby belly. Sorry not the best shot! He pointed at every bird that flew by and would make a Caw Caw noise. In our family all birds make the Caw noise. Its just easier that way. What little boy can go camping without his swing? I He loved the buggy and it cracked me up he looked like an ant compared to those tires. It was so cold Tytan had to wear so many layers. You can see in these pictures he has on a sweater hoodie, a beanie, and his jump suit hoodie. His nose and hands were still ice cold of course.

After a long weekend of fun he was totally pooped!!

Today we had our Ultrasound of our ever growing baby. Before we went in the room Pete and I made bets on the gender. He bet it was a girl and I said boy. Well I was right! It's a strong little Boy!! I am so excited to have two little boys so close together. Hopefully they will be the best of friends. Now the hard part is naming this little guy. If any of you have cute names you would like to offer I am more than willing to listen. I usually like names that are different but not totally bizarre. So please help!! We didn't get any good pics. of our mini man because I am already far enough along that he was so smashed it was hard to get any. So sorry no alien pics. this post.

MY HUNK!!

I know I know I know I have not blogged for an eternity. After reading a few complaints I decided I better get back in the game and do better. I figured since Pete has been so good to me while I've been sick I would copy some of you who wrote about your awesome hubbies and let all of you know a little about mine. *By the way I'm half way done with being pregnant (20 weeks) and we are finding out what gender (since that's the only reason for an ultrasound of course) on the 17th. We had to wait so long to find out because with Pete's busy schedule that's the only day he could squeeze in an extra hour to come with me. Who is your man? Peter Andrew Nielson (kinda funny his initials smell PAN so I call him Peter Pan sometimes. Which by the way is not his favorite nickname. How long have we been together? 31/2 years. We dated for a year because Pete lived in Tucson and I lived in Mesa and we had to wait for him to finish up at UofA before we got hitched. Yes of course I made him move to me instead of moving to him. Sorry Tucson is just not for me. How old is your man? He is a whoppin 251/2 years old. Who eats more? He definitely eats more. He is my little piggy. He once ate 16 pieces of pizza and didn't even barf. How on earth does he stay so fit? I work hard and he eats everything not fair. Who said I love you first? He did. Who weighs more? He does! Who sings better? Positively him. I can't carry a tune in a bucket. Who's smarter? Street smart-me, book smart-him. Who's temper is worse? Sadly to say mine. Who does the laundry? Me Who does the dished? Mostly me but he really helps a ton with them. Thanks babe I appreciate it more than you know. Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? Me Who's feet are bigger? His Who's hair is longer? Mine Who is better with the computer? Hands down him. He seems to know everything. Who pays the bills? Him. I seriously don't even know how much each bill is each month he is so on top of things. Plus I think he knows it would just stress me out so I don't ask he doesn't tell. Who cooks dinner? Always me. His idea of a good dinner is a frozen corn dog. Who drives when together? Him Who pays when out to dinner? Always him Who is more stubborn? sad but Me Who is first to admit when wrong? Totally him Who's parents do you see more? I see mine more and he sees his more. Who kissed who first? He kissed me first. After a totally cheesy but cute pick up line I crumbled and fell for it. Who asked who out first? He did. What did you do? He surprised me and drove up from Tucson then we went cliff jumping at Gyselia (sp) BBQ Steak then went and hiked "A" mountain by ASU and ate ice cream and watched the sun rise. Yes we stayed out all night but only because we were having such a good conversation we lost track of time. Who's more sensitive? Totally me Who's taller? Him by 5 inches Who's more indecisive? Him by a Long shot. He likes to really ponder everything. I am a do on a whim kinda person. Who has more siblings? Me. He has 3 I have 11. Pretty close right? Who wears the pants? I have to go with Amber's answer and say we both have a leg in the jeans. Who is the best Husband in the entire world? No question about it Mine!! He is such a great guy I couldn't ask for more. Love your Guts Babe!!
