We Had Some Visitors!

My Dad and stepmom Kim came from Utah for a visit. We were very excited to have them since we hadn't seen them in a while. The weather was so great the entire time and it was probably the most fun we've had sightseeing Oregon.
Our first stop was Tillamook, Oregon. My grandpa was stationed there with the Navy from 1943-45. It was in Tillamook he met my grandma and they were married. We went to the air museum and saw one of the old blimp hangars. My grandpa was actually one of the soldiers on the blimps and once crashed in the ocean. We found a picture of my grandpa in the museum. It was very cool to see some of my family's history here in Oregon.

Then we had to stop by the Tillamook Cheese factory.
We got some icecream and sampled some cheese.

Our day wasn't over yet. We drove over to Seaside and spent a few hours on the beach and in the arcade there. We heard about this addicting game at the arcade so we checked it out and ended up playing it forever. Trevor is still talking about it. Madi loved the sand and the swings.
The next day we went to Roloff Farms. That is the pumpkin farm for the family on the TV show Little People Big World. It was so much fun! We got photos with most of the family, picked pumpkins, and went on the tour of the farm. We wanted to go last year but never had time so it is something I have looked forward to all year.
At the Western town.

She loved riding in the wagon.

we had to sign a waiver for the TV show so you could see us on TV soon!
Zach was our driver for the wagon tour, the family was very nice. Trevor chatted it up with him.

It was also Kim's birthday on Saturday. We went to a dinner at this fish house on the water of the Willamette River. Then we came home for some cake. We miss Kiki and Dad already, especially Madi. She loved having them here.

Pregnancy Update

My mini baby bump at 15 weeks.

Ultrasound at 12 weeks, sorry it is a bad copy.
My friend Jessica tagged me with a pregnancy tag so I decided to include a little update.

5 Things That Make My Stomach Turn:
1. Bread that smells like it is going bad, all bread smelled yeasty for a while.
2. I think I am past that stage luckily.

5 Things I Absolutely Love:
1. Chocolate icecream and steak, not together of course.
2. Fast food. Especially Taco Bell lately.
3. My couch.
4. When Madi says she can hear the baby cry in my tummy. So cute.
5. The rubber band trick for pants, I think I do need to get some maternity ones ASAP.

Things I Worry About:
1. Trevor having Boards and finals in the middle of being due.
2. Not getting to the hospital on time.
3. C-Section, scary!
4. Being able to work with two kiddos to take care of.
5. Everything! No I think I am more relaxed this time but I do know I got very lucky with Madi's delivery and hope this time is just as easy.

Things I am Excited About:
1. To know the sex of the baby!
2. That baby clean smell, I love it.
3. Being able to sleep on my stomach again.
4. Feeling the baby move.

I love them. She looks like such a big girl.

Horsies

On Labor Day we went to Estacada and visited our friend Shawn's family farm. We rode their old horse Cory and had a great time. Madi really liked the horse, she was a little nervous at first but warmed up to her. She looked so cute up there all by herself, like such a big girl.

There's Shawn hiding behind the horse. Trevor and he go to school together.
Trevor the horseman, who knew?
Can't forget the piggies, Madi still talks about how they went poo poo and were stinky.
Then we went fishing for a few minutes with Madi's new princess fishing pole.
