Visiting the Alpaca Farm

This is how we spent our Monday morning, visting a Alpaca Farm in Fife. We have some local's that we visit when we go walking so Max was familier with them. Our neighbors have a friend who works at the farm and they invited us on this little adventure. It was fun for the kids. They got to feed and pet the Alpaca's. They also had cow's and chickens. We got to take home a very special GREEN egg that one of their chickens laid. Talk about Green Eggs and Ham?

Bella...

Max and Mom
Our amazing neighbors. Pat (Kates mom), Nathan, Kate and Zoe
Show us your eggs!

Time to go home, don't break the egg! It actaully lasted until

Finally...The Boys Rooms!

Here is a panaramic of Max's room. We still have to put the closet doors up. Its very simple and there is nothing on the walls yet. I'm thinking of some kind of cool picture above the chest of drawers. No toys in the room which makes it a no mess enviroment...which helps with my "simple" life I'm trying to get better at.

Love the bunk beds! I actually love them more now that they are in the room than when I bought them. They work great in there.
I have this really cool blue tent from Land of Nod that was in Max's baby room, but there is no room for it in his new room. That's what the big, blue pillow by the chair is and the blue fabric, round thing under his window! Someday it would work great in a play room. The rooms are just too small for it right now. Bummer!
Just need the closet doors and we are on our way!

****************

Cole's Room!

Same stuff that Max had when he was in the room, but moved it around so it would feel new. Again...very simple! The cradle will go in our room when Cole is born.
The blanket will hang above the blue chair but we are waiting to finish painting the shelf that it will hang from.
Love the changing table by the window! There are a couple things in the room that I had meant to compete while Max was still in the room, but it never happened so for Cole I am finally getting to those things. I just bought the basket liners and 2 more baskets which I felt really finished things off. I love the simplicity of both of the rooms. Just a few more little things to do and they are done. Oh and the clothes...I haven't even gone through those.

My sister-in-law just gave me back all the clothes I had given her and there are SO MANY! I have to go through those and put them away! I really need to figure out what I need since the boys are born in different parts of the year. Hoping I don't have to buy that much. I figure they are in onesies and gowns for the first couple months anyways.

Glad I finally got around to posting pictures of the rooms. I am very happy with the end result.

Blowing Bubbles..."Max do it"

Thought I would try my hand at posting a video...we will see if it works! I know...3rd post for the day! I have obviously had my camera with me! Hope you enjoy...actually I just hope it works. Oh and my laptop has been a pain with holding a battery charge so I have been on the desktop with the pictures and that of course makes posting with pictures...a lot easier. ENJOY!

Hellooooo 3rd Trimester!

Our family on Easter before Church! Thank goodness for self-timers on camera's. I don't know what I would do without it! We never seem to get many family pictures and I wanted to make sure to get one with the baby belly. We had a great Easter with some of our family friends over and had a great lunch and then went to church in the evening. Not very eventful as far as activities, but a fun day with family. I was trying to explain to Max about Easter and what the real meaning is, but explaining that to a 2 yr. old is a little challenging. I just want him to know its not all about Easter eggs, candy and the Easter bunny! Over the years I'm sure he will come to a fuller understanding of it. Its nice to be able to tell him about it because it also reminds me of the importance of the day too!
Don't love my face in this picture, but hey...it’s all about the belly anyways! I have made it to the final trimester of my second pregnancy and I can't believe how FAST it has gone by! I love feeling him move inside and can't wait to see what he looks like and am shocked that in 13 weeks I will be saying goodbye to possibly my last pregnancy and HELLO to our new little boy, Cole Loren!

Many mixed emotions. I love being pregnant as you have probably read in other posts, but I am sure looking forward to having my mind back. I'm hoping it has just been pregnancy brain because if it's not...I'm really scared. That part has been very humbling for me because my mind has been so forgetful and it's just not as quick as it usually is. I can't really explain it that well, but if you know what I'm talking about...you understand. It really has been a frustration for me.

I am waiting for the closet doors to be put up in Max's new room and then I will post pictures of the rooms. They are so cute and I really love being in both rooms. Sometimes I just sit in there and enjoy the simplicity of it all. It’s funny how rooms can draw you in.

*Oh and on another note I am so happy to hear that my In-Laws, Doug and Suzy (Loren's parents) have started reading our blog. Blogging is such a great way to let others know whats going on in our family. We don't get to see Doug and Suzy near enough, but love them and really enjoy the time we do get to spend with them. Suzy has been emailing me idea's for the new baby boy (before Cole was decided) and it has been so funny because most of them, actually all of them have been one's that I have loved...thanks Suzy! Great mind think alike! I'm excited for them to see their grandson's and hear all they are up to! Blogging Rocks!

1st Easter Egg Hunt!

Easter Egg Hunts are fun! Well more fun when you actually find some eggs. Max had his very first hunt on Saturday morning with every other child in our area. There were a lot of kids so it was hard to find eggs, but it was still a good experience. Max was able to find one egg on his own and then someone else gave us some more so we could go re-hide them so Max could get the idea. After finding a few hey really started having fun. Yipeee...4 Eggs where found! Before the "Hunt"
1st Egg found!
Now what?

The mama's have fun too! (Amy and I)

Succuss for me! Oh it feels good!

Hello friends! It has been a very successful week at our house. We purchased and set-up the boys bunk beds, though Cole won’t be sleeping in them for a couple years; they are still both of theirs. I’m so excited because yesterday I was able to (with the help of my best friend, Andrea) get both of their rooms cleaned and organized; I even managed to go to Goodwill and drop stuff off…I felt very accomplished. Max in going on his second night of sleeping in his BIG BOY BED! It’s so exciting. I picked out and will hopefully purchase Max’s quilt this weekend. A couple more things need to be done in Max’s room but for the most part we are finished. I will post pictures next week for sure, but right now I have to go get ready because Andrea, Max and I are leaving for the weekend to go visit my mom while Loren and Andrea’s husband are going to Eastern Washington to work on the “Short Bus”.

More to come, but wanted to update you all on our week. Have a great weekend!

Max is sleeping...

So figured I would blog! Not much is happening at the Ellingson household. Loren is working this weekend which is a bummer but at least he is at home. I am watching "Say Yes to the Dress" on TLC because if it’s about Babies or Weddings...I like it. Ever since I planned my own wedding I have been obsessed with wedding shows! I don't know why, I just love it.
We celebrated my Grandpa’s 80th Birthday yesterday! What an amazing person he is and I’m so glad to know him and that we were able to celebrate him and his life. At the celebration my cousin who recently moved to DC called and told us she is ENGAGED, which it totally exciting. They are planning an August wedding here! I couldn’t be happier for her and I am anxious to meet my future cousin-in-law!

Potty training is going well. Max likes to go potty in the potty and it is becoming a daily thing when we are home. We are happy campers!

My weekend retreat last week wasn’t what I thought it would be but it was a great weekend away with friends. The more I hang out downtown Portland the more I love it. It’s a beautiful city with very friendly people. Though my mom lives there I haven’t spent a lot of time downtown. They have a lot of fun shops and its so easy to get around town…love it.

In pregnancy news…I passed my glucose test which made me very happy! Baby Cole is doing well and I’m measuring a week ahead which really means nothing, but I’m happy to be measuring ahead rather than behind. We are trying to get Max’s new room ready so we can move him over and make a couple updates/changes for Coles room. Trips to home depot and babies”R”us are in our future. Though we still have 4 months left, I like to have things done early so I can enjoy them and don’t feel stress. Plus I really want Max to be adjusted to his new room and bed before Cole comes, a couple months before would be great. My back is starting to hurt which I had a major problem with last time, but I’m hoping for regular massage appointments which make a HUGE difference. I’m still very comfortable minus getting down on the floor with Max or bending over. I do think that putting shoes on and off will start to get a little more difficult among other things that just get harder to do as the belly grows. I have to say though I really enjoy being pregnant and I feel like I’m very lucky to have very boring pregnancy’s which is a blessing…hope that continues.

I’m grateful for the amazing weather we have been having and wishing it could stay, it makes the day so great. We have been going to the park with friends and just enjoying it as much as we can. Oh and another thing…tomorrow I register Max for a local Co-op which starts in the Fall…I hope he can get in the class for his age group. I’m really excited for him to meet new kids his age and start a structured class, really fun for us.

New Blogs added! Fun!

New blogs added. My friend Amanda H. just created a blog. She also does very cute baby gifts called "it baby"...bibs, towels, burp cloths and more that can all be custom made. She has amazing talents and I have ordered some from her for gifts and they are amazingly cute and original which I love. I love that she can also personalize the items with initials which is really cute.

I also added couple more of some more friends the other day too. Enjoy!

Retreat...

I'm sitting all ready to go away for the weekend. I am really looking forward to some down time to relax and eat out without a 2 year old. I'm going to a womens retreat through SOMA, the church we are currently attending in Tacoma. Thought it would be a great way to get to know some new people.

In other news, Max and I celebrated over ice cream the other night that he went pee-pee on the potty 5 times, 5 times....isn't that great? We thought so and what better way to celebrate than with ICE CREAM! We are really excited in this new development of his potty training. I know this brings in a new world of challenges, but to get the hard stuff in before baby Cole comes home would be most helpful.

As far as pregnancy goes, I'm feeling good! My belly is getting bigger each week (pictures to come in the next few weeks) and I'm feeling him move around a lot more. Its so funny to watch your belly move and know that there is a little baby in there. I bought a couple things this week, nothing really exciting, pacifiers, a very cute knitted blanket and a protective crib sheet. I figured I would start slowly buying things instead of one big shopping trip at the end. When your pregnant you'r mind is automatically thinking future...I keep thinking July and September are right around the corner which is funny to me. It is still crazy to me that in 4 short months we will be adding to our family and meeting this precious little baby boy. I'm anxious, excited, and anticipating Maxwell's thoughts of his brother and how he will treat him. Of course I'm very curious to find out how are day to day routine will be. The unknown is always a little scary, but exciting too. I know many people have done and do this all the time but when life change is about to happen for you...its so different. I'm grateful that we have many family and friends to help us out which is so nice. My mom isn't working anymore so she is planning on coming up after Loren goes back to work to hang out with us for a bit which will be a tone of fun. When Max was born we laughed so hard that we peed our pants...more than one time...it was funny. Most of the laughs were from jokes about the breast pump which we thought and still think is so funny.

I'm taking my camera this week so I will hope to post some pictures when I return. I still can't believe the March is tomorrow, WOW! Time is flying by! We have really been enjoying the great weather we have had and it makes us anticipate Spring and Summer so much more!

Enjoy your weeknd and I will talk to you after my weekend away!

I think baby brother...

will be named...

Cole Loren Ellingson

This is the name for now. I have been hesitant to put anything in writing because until he is here we will see. When we were having dinner with Loren at the Fire dept. (he is pulling shift tonight) tonight he was introducing us to his fellow fire fighters and said that we were expecting a new little baby boy and pointed to my belly and said his name is Cole, that was the first time I had heard him say it out loud. It was nice to hear.

Wow, pregnancy hormones are very real and people need to watch out. Whewww...I don't remember feeling like this last time and I really have a hard time blaming my crazy mood on things like "Pregancy Hormones" but I do I think its time to admit they are real and are very much a part of my day right now. I broke down crying the other day for no reason...what the heck, what is wrong with me. My patience level is, well...it really isin't even there right now. I'm just in awe of this because I really don't remember anything like this last time, you hear people talk about it but it never happened to me! I'm thinking having a 2 year old can probably effect those hormones a little more. I am hoping these are "Pregnancy Hormones" because the thought of my attitude and another child in the mix could be a very unhappy situation. I'm sure it is, but it is scary to think about. Please pray that God will help me stay saine and appreciate this time as well. Max is at a fun stage, but difficult at the same time. He is learning so much and I love it, but can be very strong willed which can be challenging. He cracks me up and makes me want to cry too in the same hour, wow these emotions are CRAZY! I'm sure I'm not alone but when you feel like this you really do feel like you are. I have talked to some of my family and friends and they are very supportive and agree that it is totally pregnancy related...

Hope this is ok to blog some of my feelings! Just have to write things out sometimes. I have some pictures from the last week when we hung out with some friends so I will post those soon.

Hope you are all having a great week and we will chat with you later....

Not the news we were hoping for...

Gods will is sometimes a lot different than what we hope and pray for.

This morning, around 11:20 a.m., Jesus took Whitney’s hand, and welcomed her into His presence in Heaven. Though we are at peace that she is not in pain anymore and is in a far better place than we can even imagine...death is such a difficult thing to deal with. Please pray for her family during this time of pain and loss.

I had posted for prayer a while back...for those of you who aren't aware of the situation you can read earlier posts.)

Boys!

Boys! And some of my feelings on having boy(s)… Max when he was 1 week old!!!

Before I was pregnant with Max I had always secretly hoped for a baby girl. What girl doesn’t right, cute Bows, dresses and cute little bonnets…so fun and cute, right? Pink, girly flower bedding! When I found out I was having a Boy…for some reason I was a little surprised but not disappointed because of course I knew it could go either way. I think with girls you just figure you will know exactly what they like and love since we all were little girls. I do vividly remember thanking God because I loved that he gave me something I didn’t even know I wanted. He planned and intended for me to have a boy and I rested and was excited about his plan for my life and not my own plan. So here I am 2 years later and some months w/ Max and another precious baby boy on the way and I really couldn’t be more thrilled. I was very prepared and thought through that our 2nd could be either a boy or a girl and wanted to be excited for either one and when the ultrasound tech said “Boy” I really was so happy and excited to have two boys.

Max and I in the hospital

So why this blog you’re asking? Well because I find myself getting excited about fire trucks, Trains and school buses…why, well because Max loves them and I love to make him happy. I never cared about trucks and cars but now I find myself looking for them to show Max…boy how boys can really change a mom’s life! They make you see things that you wouldn’t have if not for them and I love it. It’s so funny how you kind of live another childhood when you have kids of your own. I love playing with playdo, swinging and doing fun things that kids get to do…yah I get to do them too now that I’m a mom…how much fun is that? So again I thank God that he gave me something that I didn’t even realize I needed, God is good! I’m really looking forward to meeting our new little baby boy and to see Max and him grow up together enjoying a lifelong brotherhood for life.

October 2006

Boys rock and so do fire trucks, cars of all kinds, trucks, trains….anything and everything boy. Its crazy how you don’t teach them any of that boy stuff, they just learn to love it all on their own! It’s fun to live in a little boy’s world and see it through his eyes. I love it and would never trade it for anything in the world.

Baby Brother in the Belly!!!

I'm showing a lot more at this time than with Maxwell. This is my first belly picture for this pregnancy and I figured I needed to start somewhere. I love seeing people's prego pictures, I think its so cute. I like to track my growth through pictures...just not sure I will share them all. I usually decide to take the pictures at inconvience times, when no one is around and I have to prop the camera on something...hmm can I train Max to do this...that is a thought!

Ok, so there is my heart about my boys! Can't wait to meet this little one. We are still trying to figure out names. The most current name we are thinking of right now is Cole...I really like Cole Alexander Ellingson. We will see if that sticks...Loren is the final say in all of this. My favorite name is William Gordon Ellingson and we would call him Will. My maiden name is Gordon so I love the whole name, but of course Loren is not in love with it like me....Bummer, big time. Oh if the mom's could name their kids without feedback from the other person involved in this whole baby making thing life would be a little easier!

I love feedback and idea's for names, I should offer a reward for anyone who gives me a name that could work and we both agree on....hmm, another great idea.

Diapers? Maybe not for Max anymore?

Yes, yes...the Ellingson family had a lot to celebrate today! Max went POTTY on the POTTY today, twice...twice. I was thrilled. I think Max wasn't sure what to think when I reacted, but how could I not be thrilled? I have been telling him for so long that when he pee-pee's on the potty he will get candy. Well why I would think anything would be different today since everyday since I have shown him the potty and talked about candy he has wanted to sit on it thinking he would get candy even though he would never pee in the potty. This morning I was taking his night diaper off and getting him dressed and as usual he wanted to go potty so he did and to my surprise there was pee in there....oh it's weird I know that I get so excited about pee in the potty but the thought of only having ONE child in diapers is so thrilling to me, not just the FREE time it will save me but also the $$$! So for the moms out there I know you will understand it and for those who don't have kids yet, you will understand how exciting when your turn comes around...it is weird I agree, but it's really exciting. Now I'm realistic that tomorrow he might not do it at all, but just the 2 times he did it today gives me hope that my goal of potty training before baby #2 is here could be a reality! A mom can wish! Well whatever happens this is a day to mark on your calendars, ok well maybe I am the only who will actually be marking my calendar for the joyous occasion, but had to share the happy news.

Finally I am on my desktop so I can add some random picture of the last month or so. Enjoy... My neice Natty and Max on Nat's 4th Birthday Dinner...she was helping Max look at the camera! She is such a great big cousin. Max's face cracks me up!

The new thing Max is doing since we took the rail off his crib is to get all his books, toys and whatever else he can grab and fill the crib with it. Nap time is so fun now! I had to get picture of this because it makes me laugh. Right by the red book in the lower left corner...a clock...yah anything and everything! I was taking a shower and I came down to this...this has never happened before. I guess I just fill his day with many fun things.We had a blast at the Olympia Children's Museum...and Max loves this truck. Erin and I...the boys loves playing at the Museum and we loved cacthing up. Fun Times... In the middle of playing Max likes to take a break for some music...it makes me laugh becaus its in the gift shop and he will just walk over and play and then go back to checking the rest of the museum out. He is a funny boy.

I have a doctor’s appointment on Wednesday which is always a highlight. As of today I am officially half way through this pregnancy which is crazy to me, but very exciting. I have started taking Max and Marigold out on the days that I watch Marigold and it is helping me get excited and used to the idea of 2 kids. It’s so great to be able to feel like "Ok, I can do this" I'm not as afraid since I'm getting some great practice in. I’m feeling great and at times I don’t even feel pregnant which is amazing. I love feeling the baby kick, I know I have said that, but I will probably continue to say it. Max never moved that much and I’m thinking this little boy is going to be a mover in the belly which as of right now I hope so and am looking forward to it. I’m sure I will take that back when I’m not sleeping and he is in my rib cage, but as of now…those our my thoughts. Hope your all having a great start to your week.

Take care and chat with you all later.

Hello, just sitting here

Hi Friends! Just had some time and figured I would say HELLO! Max is sleeping and Marigold, the little girl I watch just left. My favorite time of day is nap time and bed time, not because I love it when Max sleeps... it's just a time for me to relax and unwind, you know what I'm talking about right.
Some exciting news, the baby has starting kicking stronger the last couple of days. I have been feeling movement for a little while now, but very light and last night in the middle of the night I was awaken by his kicks...I LOVE IT. Today he was kicking and it was very obvious kicks...there is nothing better then seeing & hearing the heartbeat and feeling movement inside and know that it is life inside of you. God is amazing. Yesterday someone had sent me a link to youtube and it was National Geographic - In the Womb. There are are 9 episodes that are 10 minutes long...its amazing. God is amazing!!! I can't believe all of that happens! Its a beautiful thing.
I must be having the nesting bug or its that I am getting nervous about what 2 kids will do to my house...either way, stuff is happening at the Ellingson house! I am getting rid of stuff that I have held onto for way too long, many goodwill trips to drop donations off. The best thing is that I am parking in the garage. We haven't parked in the garage since we were newly married. We can only get 1 car in there due to stuff in the garage and the yukon is too big. I love that Max and I can stay dry while we are getting loaded up. I have told Loren we have to do this when both kids are here and to my surprise...it happened a lot earlier than I though it would. We are making progress...yippeeeee! We are also cleaning out the office which will be Maxwell's new room. In this process I have been reminded why I want a new, bigger house because we have NO, and I mean NO storage here. I am getting creative and using spaces that I have not used wisely before. My thought process is with 2 kids life will not be easier so I need to simplify and get rid of stuff so there will be less for me to worry about, plus with no extra room, there is no where to put stuff. I am feeling free and excited about this, less clutter, more simplified lifestyle!
I'm getting excited to put Max's big room together. Did I tell you we took one of the sides off his crib so he is sleeping in what we call his "Big Boy Bed"...figured it would be a great transition before a bigger bed. He did fall out a couple of times but Loren put one of the crib bumpers on the side and it has been great. I love that we know what Max loves so we can create a room for him, just him. When your creating a babys room you don't know them yet so you can't totally personalize it so this is fun that we now get to do this for him. We have found a really cool fire truck toddler bed that Max would LOVE! We will be doing all of that when I get the room totally cleared, which I still need to figure out where to put everything, but we are on our way and every day we get closer. Fun times, fun times.

Hope your enjoying your week! Until next time...

Its still a BOY!

We had our big ultrasound on Friday and were able to verify that baby #2 is for sure a baby boy. He is healthy and weighed a whole 10 oz. There is nothing like seeing your baby on the screen as you watch them move around and reality hits you that there is for sure a baby in there. Its very surreal! I love that I am finally able to feel him move around in there, though its not a lot every day nor very strong, but either way...its a sweet reminder about this special gift. We are still deciding on names, we have a couple idea's, well Loren has given a maybe since I have many choices but he seems to like nothing, very difficult picking names out that you both agree on. I wish I had a scanner so I could show you the pictures, but if you have seen one u/s picture you have seen them all.

My mom was in town for a couple days this last week into the weekend which was very nice and she even got to go the u/s with us which worked out great. Friday night my good friend Andrea, my mom and I went to Stanley and Seaforts for dinner, fun night to just get out while Max stayed home with my friend who was kind enough to watch him on a Friday night. I love dinner out after a long week. Dinner out without Max is always a treat...I feel like I can eat without the stress of trying to make sure he is happy. Fun night with the girls.

Loren went to Eastern Washington to work on "The Short Bus". Have I not told you guys about that? Loren and some of his buddies bought a short bus for tailgating at the Seahawks games. I love it, I really didn't think they were serious about it but now that its paid for and he's spending the weekend cleaning it up...yah it's the real deal. They are going to paint it blue and redo the floors and seats. It will be all decked out in Seahawks stuff....inside and out. It even has a handicap lift for the BBQ and cooler. Its a fun project for him and it makes me laugh. I will post pictures with the final product. If you are a hawks fan you will have to meet us down in Seattle next season for some hotdogs and some fun.

Thanks for all your prayers for the family I had written about earlier this week.

Hope you are all having a great weekend!

Update on Prayer Request...

"As of last night at 11:30 pm. The family was sitting outside of ICU where Whitney was being cared for. Whitney sustained multiple injuries as she was hit broadside at highway speeds by another vehicle. She fractured her hip, suffered broken ribs and a collapsed lung, and multiple head/brain injuries (fractured skull, broken eye socket). At that time, Whitney was heavily sedated to control the pain, but they were going to back off on the meds to look for signs of purposeful movement and reactions in order to assess the extent of the injuries. Her parents are naturally upset but were relieved to arrive and find Whitney alive. They thank everyone for their continued prayers."

Praise God she is alive! Thank you for continued prayers and I will update you as I hear more!

Please PRAY for our family friends!

Just got word that some family friends that attended the church I grew up in, their daughter, Whitney was in a very serious car accident this afternoon in Oregon. She was transported to Salem, Oregon hospital (she is a college student living in Oregon) and underwent CatScan and tests. It was determined that there is a brain stem problem and brain trauma. She is being flown by helicopter (as I type) to Emmanuel Hospital in Portland, Oregon (the Trauma Center). Her family is driving down to Portland from Seattle. Please pray for safe travels for them as I can't imagine having to make that drive knowing what they know. Also pray for Whitney and healing. I can't imagine getting this news and figured the more people praying, the better.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM

Yah, she is 52, doesn't look it though...

My mom would love this picture, if she saw it! She would love it even more if she knew I was posting it, it cracks me up! What a fun dinner that was. It was a first of many things or at least some first for a long time. My mom lives in Portland, Or. so its very rare that we actually spend birthdays together, but this year we did. Another fun thing was that all of us siblings were together which is such a rarity these days. We had dinner at my favorite restaurant..Stanley & Seaforts in Tacoma. My mom and Pat had never been so it was fun to show them this yummy place. We laughed and just enjoyed our time together and celebrating this special day with my mom. My mom totally makes me laugh and as I get older we become better friends. Love her and love spending time with her. Its freaky that we are so much a like but I didn't grow up with her...guess I was just born with it. It was fun to see Sam and Andrew too. They are both getting so much older and growing up...crazy!
The "Sista's"(Sam, me and Railene(sister-in-law)) Mom and PatMy Brother Andrew...he is so cute.
The siblings and mom Loren and Andrew..being totally spontanous!!!Sam and I...also being totally spontanous...oh you were taking a picture of us???
The crew...fun times.
