Baby In My Belly

Yes it is true there is a baby in my belly. CRAZY exciting! I am just over 13 weeks along, and going strong. I lucked out again during the first trimester and didn't have any morning sickness. I just get really tired, also this time around I was pretty moody and didn't really want to talk to anyone (well after work anyways :)). All in all it wasn't to bad.

Now that I'm into the second trimester all of those things are getting better slowly yet surely. We got to hear the heartbeat last week. The nurse was able to find it pretty quick (which was nice since it took a few minutes to find Maes) it was a good strong heartbeat 156 to be exact. I was excited because I was able to record it on my phone and email it to Sean since he couldn't be there for the appt.

Mae pretends to know whats going on. Well at least she points to my belly and says "baby". She will also talk to the baby about her day and snuggle my belly. Its pretty cute. Then of course she does hit it on occasion, but really what can you expect its new and scary. Ive already come to terms with the fact she might poke it in the eye when it comes out :) (what its true).

S2S

Team ErikSaurousRex rocked it out this weekend. We ran 190 miles in just under 24 hours. 12 runners running 3 legs each. I was once again really bad at the photo thing, although I did manage to get Sean in his costume for the costume leg. He was SeanSaurousRex in honor of Erik. Lucky for all of us Katie happened to have a Yoshi costume laying around, Sean completed the look with his mini green running shorts.

Side view. Lucky for Sean he got to run just over 3 miles in this great costume.
So studly!

The boys got some great shots of Sean running.

RAWR I'm gonna get you!Hey facebook friends there are a lot more pics there, since the rest of the team was much better at the pics then I was.

Wedding Dance Party

PARTY!!!!!! The best part, the dance party! Mae was in love with Mary all night and only wanted to dance with her. Luckily Mary loves her a ton too and put up with her :)

Boogy down girls, boogy down.

Oh its Mae and her momma. This was right before bedtime I believe. She was falling asleep on my shoulder on the dance floor. It was pretty cute.

The wedding was amazing and we are all sad that it was the last McLachlan sibling wedding, we have all decided that we just need to have parties over the years so we can get our dance on!

Waiting To Walk Down The Aisle

We were all dolled up and ready to head down the isle. That's the worst part is waiting those last few minutes while the guests get in their seats. The upside is the view from Auntie Niess house, you can watch it all from the large picture window.

Mary and her flower girls hanging out trying to not get dirty :)

Sarah possibly giving Mary some advice? IDK cute picture though.

Mae Getting Ready

Mary and Quinn tied the knot on August 8th. It was an awesome day. Mae and I got the opportunity to be in the wedding it was so much fun getting to be a part of all the getting ready stuff, and being even more girly (false eyelashes anyone?) that day.

Mae was excited about everything and was having a blast just running around the lake and getting into everything. At the wedding was a photo booth (so awesome), Mae was apparently helping Brook get stuff together, or playing in the props.

Time for the big show! She got her hair in a ponytail, and got to play with bronzer.

Seriously crazy cute, she was quite the little flower girl.

The Sleeping Bag

I have been very bad at taking pictures this summer, these next 3 pictures are the only ones I took on our McNard camping trip this year (thank goodness for brook and her camera, she got some great ones of Mae).

First thing in the morning hanging out in the tent, just reading a book.

We got Mae a sleeping bag this year for camping. She loved it! I will say it was so nice this year to have her sleeping in her own bag and not sharing with us. She really never napped on the trip, but that meant when she crashed at night she was out hardcore.

So before we left some friends came over and we discovered that Grace could also fit into Mae's sleeping bag perfectly.

Pool Time

This summer has been a hot one. To beat the summer heat we have been going to the pools as much as possible. Mae loves the water.

Mae wanted to "lay out" like Mary, who was working on her tan for the wedding.

Goggles

These pics of Mae wearing goggles make me laugh every time I look at them. So just enjoy!

I feel like she is thinking "why are you all laughing?"
" Cheese"

Last Summer Track Meet

I just logged on to my blogger page and found these pics that I had saved from the last summer track meet. Mae had a blast and wanted to run with the baton the whole time.

She is running the 50 meter dash here.

Mae and Zella have so much fun at the track together. They just run around and watch people and also do the races themselves. I believe that at this meet they both ran the 50, 200, and 400.

Then Mae was crazy and ran a second 400 just for fun :) She was so busy at this meet that we got pizza and she ate 2 slices.

Rain Or Shine Sean Still Turns 29

Sean is officially one year away from 30 YIKES! We had a great party this year, kept it simple with a BBQ and a few close friends. It was raining pretty hard when the food needed to be cooked so Sean and Rick had to bust out the umbrella.

The rain stopped and I made everyone eat outside (with the aid of beach towels to sit on so our bums wouldn't get wet).
Mae had a great time running around half dressed in the rain.
Getting all those candles lit.
Burnin Down The House!

Success! Sean got them all blown out apparently with Maes help. Happy Birthday Sean!
