Items I want for this baby!

I have been spending many hours on the internet trying to figure out what we need/want for this new baby. We don't know what we are having yet but I will share this we find out very soon and I'm super excited!

I have found some great things but of course everything that I want is close to $200! Seriously, I feel like in just three years things have gotten so expensive! Maybe it's just my taste in things but oh well.

So here is the stroller I want! It's the Graco Ready2Go LX Stand and Ride stroller. It is amazing! It has 12 different positions that you can do. The pictures above show how I will probably have it the majority of the time. The reason I want this stroller is because I will have a 3 year old (Monkey), a one year old (Sophia, the little girl I watch several days a week), and the new baby. When I head out with all three of them this will be perfect because I can put Sophia in the front seat and the baby in the back seat and then Monkey can walk. But the best part is that the back seat comes off really easy so I can have a spot for Monkey if needed. I can just 'wear' the baby and then move the seat and now Monkey has somewhere to sit. Plus it has a huge basket underneath to hold all of our things that we would need. It seems like the perfect stroller for what we need! I'm so glad they released it this year! It's perfect!

Graco My Ride 65 Safety Surround Convertible Car Seat - Capri - Graco  - Babies"R"Us
This is the car seat that I found that I think I like the best for the price and it has good reviews. It is the Graco My Ride 65. We don't buy the infant carrier car seats. We normally just buy the all in one kind and go from there. It makes it a little hard if there is bad weather when they are very little, I experienced that with Monkey, but since this baby is due in July I'm not sure that I will have a problem with that.  I love this car seat because it has great safety reviews and parent reviews but also because it looks comfy and has cup holders. That is the one thing that I wish Monkey's car seat had. I also think that we will be able to use one of these cup holders for Monkey at least for a little while. We made sure it fit in the car and everything!

So I'm bummed out! The diaper bag, Bumble Jessica Messenger Bag, that I really wanted is sold out at Babies R Us! This is the one I want but I wanted the black and white one but since it's out of  stock I would have to chose a pink or blue one or wait and see if it comes back in stock. The reason I love this one is because it is big enough to carry all my cloth diapers and cloth wipes. Plus it has room to carry a change of clothes for Monkey and some toys. I also love it because of all the options it has. The messenger strap, the backpack strap, and the stroller straps! It is awesome. The only down fall is that it is only sold online and its not available for in store pick up. I love this bag and really hope that we will be able to get it for versatility it would give me when heading out with 2 or 3 kiddos.

Everything thing else we already have so I have a very short wish list. I love these items and hope that we will be able to get them all. What are you looking for when your new bundle of joy arrives? I would love to know!

Happy Father's Day!

Today is father's day and most people are getting together and celebrating with family. Dads, grandpas and uncles all celebrating together the joys of being a father. Maybe getting a chance to relax and enjoy just sitting around watching the kids play and being surrounded with family. That's what father's day has always looked like for us. We would always gather at my parents house. First, with my grandparents when I was growing up for dinner and a day of enjoying being together. Then as I grew older my sister and I would make sure to spend the day with our dad. Then we got married and had kids of our own and the tradition continued. We would bring all the kids and enjoy BBQing at my parents house enjoying time together. This year things are different.We can't just jump in the car and head over for a BBQ. We can't sit around on the couch or on the patio talking and laughing together. This year we are 12 hours away from where I've always been for father...

The ABC's of Our Family

I got a great idea from this lovely  blog  about doing a ABC photo book through out the year. Each week taking one photo that goes along with a letter. I have seen lots of great ideas for different photo blog ideas but all seem like to much work and something that I know I wouldn't be able to do. This one seems reasonable for our crazy life.  So to start off I have chose a great picture that I took of Rex and M playing together one day when he got home from work. Rex is so ADORABLE in this picture I just knew this was what I had to use! Plus I already know what I'm using for next week even though the picture hasn't been taken yet.  So here it is.......ADORABLE Rex playing with his Daddy! Oh I just can't get enough of this guy. Also as a little side note to how adorable he is...he kept posing for the camera once I got. He didn't care that Mommy was watching him play and wouldn't even look at me but soon as the camera was out he had to keep turning and...

Bikini Body Mommy Challenge Update!

So we are starting week 8 (I think). It's been a few weeks since I have officially sat down and updated on how I have been doing. Week 6 I did pretty good. The 4 am workouts were starting to wear on me so I decided to try and get a workout in after my hubby left for work but before the kids got up. Some days that went OK and other days not so well. I did however get several workouts in with the boys awake and they went pretty well. Monkey tired to join in with me and it was quite fun to watch. Of course he couldn't keep up with the workouts and took many breaks but it was fun to have him involved. This week I plan to do cardio days at 4 am in the gym because they are easier than trying to complete in the house. But for the non-cardio days I will do them in the house in the morning. That way I'm not completely exhausted everyday. Now for week 7. I have no idea even what the workouts were for last week. I didn't even look once! I have good reason though. My hubby h...
