Legos!

Peyton loves Legos.  We've started him on the smaller sets of Legos and he plays with them for hours!  B loved them as a kid and has fun picking out sets for Peyt and helping him put them together.

Just a few random pics of the doggies...

Prayers

Click here for an update on my mom. She really needs tons of prayers...

A Prayer to St. Peregrine, the Patron Saint of Cancer Patients:

O great St. Peregrine, you have been called "The Mighty", "The Wonder Worker" because

of the numerous miracles which you obtained from God for those who have turned to you in

their need. For so many years, you bore in your own flesh this cancerous disease that destroys

the very fiber of our being.

You turned to God when the power of human beings could do no more, and you were favored

with the vision of Jesus coming down from His cross to heal your affliction. I now ask God to

heal this sick person whom I entrust to you:

Sandra J. Prazeau

Aided by your powerful intercession, I shall sing with Mary a hymn of gratitude

to God for His great goodness and mercy. Amen.

15 Weeks

Yesterday I had my 3rd prental appointment.  It was another quick one. 

BP: 102/60
Weight gain: 3 lbs, 4 total.
Baby's heart rate: 140's

My morning sickness is gone and I'm starting to get some energy back.  I'm still exhausted at times but I'm sure that's just from lack of sleep and no caffeine!  I've started to have a little bit of heartburn too so I'm trying not to snack too late.  As far as cravings, I always want eggs for breakfast, and I want fruit all day.  Totally different than my nightly ice cream cravings I had with Peyton. And healthier. :)
We picked out some neutral paint for the baby's room which is exciting. We have to do a bit of rearranging and get rid of some stuff before we start on his/her room.  I'll have my ultrasound in a few weeks which I'm excited for.  We're still dead-set on not finding out the sex!  In the last week I feel like my belly has popped out a bit and I feel pregnant. 

15 weeks, 2 days.

Jamison Park

Today Peyt and I met Kate and Ethan at Jamison Park to take advantage of the last 90-degree day to play in the water.  It took a while for Peyton to get in the water and there were a ton of kids, but eventually him and Ethan had a lot of fun playing and splashing each other. 

Cousins

Peyton and his cousin Austin have gotten to the ages where they really play well together.  Today since my parents headed to the beach for the weekend, my sister-in-law Amy and I headed over to their house so we could be there when the cable guy came to hook up my Dad's TV with HD (a gift for his b-day) and to also clean the house up for my parents.  My mom isn't able to get around much anymore so this will hopefully ease my Dad and my Grandma's stress a bit.  The two boys kept busy all morning and had a ton of fun.  It's so fun to watch them grow up together and bond.

Sitting on the kitchen counter while we mopped the floors.

They were busy with Legos for a long time.

Then painted some pictures for Grandma and Grandpa.

Sidewalk chalk.  They wanted to be left alone, can u tell by the stank eyes they're giving me?

70

Friday was my Dad's 70th birthday! That number is just crazy to me. We all got together and BBQ'd which is always fun and crazy with my big family.  Happy Birthday Daddeo! We love you!

My two brothers and my dad prepping the BBQ.

This is Charlie, the cutest dog ever.  He's my nephew Drew's puppy.  He's 12 weeks old.

Peyton loved him.

And Charlie loved him and followed him everywhere wanting to play.  Look at those wrinkles!

There's always plenty of hoops at the Prazeau house.

My nephew Cameron slammin it down.  I can't believe how tall these two nephews are.

Bradley dunkin.

Peyton just loves playing with cousin Alexa.

These two really love each other.

My gorgeous niece Alexa.  Those blue eyes!

Happy Birthday! We got him a delicious peanut butter chocolate ice cream cake from Coldstone. 

Eating cake with Lex.

I told him to go clean up his room and...

Happy 26th Birthday Stephers!

My niece Steph turned 26 while we were gone camping so last Friday we had a belated celebration for her at the Melting Pot.  It was so delicious as usual..

Steph digging in!

We had fiesta cheese fondue and spinach artichoke cheese fondue. YUM!

My sis-in-law Amy and I.

S'more chocolate fondue and of course peanut butter chocolate fondue.

Prego lady digging in!

We had a fun dinner/night!  Happy birthday Steph, love you!

Zoo

This morning I took Peyton to the zoo, thinking it was a cool day and might not be busy if we got there early.  WRONG.  Apparently the 2nd Tuesday of the month is get-in-for-only-$4-day.  Big mistake.  We got there shortly after the zoo opened and the parking lot was full.  And man, cheap prices bring out some fun people too.  :) No judging, just can't handle smells right now of people who don't bathe.  :) We hadn't been to the zoo in a really long time and Peyton really enjoyed it. 

The giraffe was inside and it was so close!  It kept licking the window.

Riding the lions

Peyton's fave-driving the safari jeep.

This picture is really blurry and bad but I had to get the effect here.  He was running and jumping along and all of the sudden.........

A girl caught his eye and he was totally checking her out and showing her his skills.  HA

Jumping "so high!"

We finally caught the bird show, which was a first for Peyton.

Mmm-kay this vulture almost took my head off.  His wings totally slapped the top of my head! "Mommy, he got you!!!"

Spying on the polar bears.

Always have to get a tractor picture.

We ended our morning eating lunch at the overpriced grill there.
