Thinking Happy Thoughts..

Ok so I'm tired of whining about these last few days of being pregnant so I'm taking my own advice I gave the other day and I'm writting down things to be thankful for so I can remember all the good things and blessings I have in my life, here goes nothing:

Dancing with the Stars in coming back on in a few days
Kenron has been wonderfully sweet to be around lately
These are my last few days with K as my only child - enjoy them
I am able to complete my "To Do" list before Axel comes
I love the name Axel
I love that fall is coming...sweaters, crisp air, playing outside, apples, pumpkin flavored everything... ahhhhhh glory days.
I have a huge rug coming in a few days for our living room
Mat bought us a new camera for Axel coming!
We have a new house to bring out baby home to
My Parents are coming in just a few days for a long visit.
Shea is going to Dallas so I can see her soon
I can still sleep through the night.
I have my baby shower on Saturday
Which means I can SPEND MONEY/GO SHOPPING for baby stuff :)
I weigh less than I ever have being pregnant.
Mat are so in love right now, and its beyond wonderful.
Did I mention fall is coming? which means WINTER IS COMING TOO
We are GOING TO NEW ENGLAND FOR CHRISTMAS!!!
I cant wait to introduce Axel to our family. especially Mat's family.
I have wondeful friends who are throwing me a shower, even though its my second baby, and ANOTHER boy.
I painted in Axels room and it looks AWESOME.
I dont feel like God isnt listening to me anymore.
21 days from now it will be my last day with itchy skin.
Kenron is walking and talking and it makes it easy to imagine another baby in our lives.
I love my little family and i cant wait to be a family of 4. Especially with Mat.

Ok that was some good therapy. I needed that, and I hope it reminds you of all the good things in your life. I cant promise I wont have weak moments in the next few days.. I am pregnant and hormonal after all.. but I WILL promise to think of and reflect on these good blessings in my life. have a wonderful week.

Major Klunck-a-roo

Kenron was having an "off day" on monday. No doubt recovering from a rough weekend when we figured out that he is probably allergic to Penicillin like his daddy. BUT we decided to go to our play date with Pam and Conner and it took him a little while to warm up to all the new things.. but he did, and was even having a GRAND time when all of a sudden he decided to try and go down one little step forward instead of turning around and backing down the step. I dont blame him - the step couldnt have been higher than 4" but his little shoe didnt clear the step and gravity and momentum took over - he fell forehead first onto a brick patio....

He made a quick recovery after some mommy snuggles and lunch. funny thing is after that happened and he had a nice nap the good old Kenron was back! The regular sweet Kenron had disapeared for about a month. He had 8 teeth coming in at the same time, and with Mat working crazy overtime; the days were pretty bleak at the tremblay house. It is beyond words how lovley it is to have my sweet Kenny roo back.

Just Between Friends sale...

For Axel:
8 Pairs of pants
5 outfits

Kenron was as happy as a lark... it was SO CUTE seeing him get so excited over all the new toys. Of course I'm going to put some away to bring out later when he's bored with the others, but it made me really excited about christmas this year - it will be so much more fun.

My Birthday and Our Anniversary...

Happy Birthday to Me.. I'm 27. I dont know exactly how I feel about it. I mean I dont feel old. But I guess I feel sort of introspective.. like time is flying by, and I wonder "am I doing what I'm supposed to be doing with my life?" Right now, today, I feel like I am. But I am always doublechecking, God has a better plan than me - I'd rather be on his path than the one I "think" I should be on.. terrifying as it may be.


We got to go away for the night - FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE K WAS BORN - by ourselves for our 5 yr. Anniversary. Thank you Grancie and Grandy. We stayed at a B&B in town and got to sleep in.. it was glorious.

With my birthday money I got to go to Hobby Lobby and spend it! I added some lovely things to my bookshelf display...

and Saturday Mat and I got to go antiquing while K was still with G&G and I found this TREASURE!! I filled it with some little frames from Hobby Lobby and some of my tiny treasures and I'm thrilled with the possibilities that this drawer can hold and display!


On another fun note - we pulled out all of Kenron's newborn clothes and went through them to see what we can use for Axel, and get ready to shop the JBF sale in OKC.

Kenron liked "helping" us separate all the goodies.
Cant wait to show you what I get after monday!

"Trash? Trash?"

Kenron has a new fascination with putting his diaper in the trash. I hope he still likes doing it when Axel comes along.. this could prove to be VERY helpful.

K's sleeping habits.

Mat's been putting Kenron to bed for quite a while now, but tonight I decided I would give him some relief and take over bed time duty. Well I didnt know, but apparently this is how kenron has been falling asleep lately -

in the middle of "peek a boo" with his blanket.

I cant stop laughing thinking about it. What a funny kid.

Kenron saying his animal sounds..

His says everything but the dog.. which is funny because "woof, woof" was one of his first words.. hehe what a funny kid.

Climbing Kenron...

This kid is ALL boy. He loves to climb climb climb

In everything...

and on everything...

few more of our trip to New England..

Santa and his elves went out for icecream :) hehe
Mac and Pa
Kenron in his cut new swimsuit
This is what the camper floor looked like most of the time :)
Ya-ya again getting in on the fun... "Hat?"
And the best breakfast I had the whole time I was there!! Yum, trout and eggs.

Sibling Love...

Me Justin and Shan
the "belly shot"
I like this one of all of us. Kenron sure did love spending time with Uncle Bub and Tia Leah! I hate that we dont get to see them more.

The Carrousel...

Does it get any cuter?




You should have seen mom and noah running around trying to get K to smile, it was so cute!

Pepere' and Noah came to visit us in Maine

Wednesday Ron and Noah came to see us in Maine. This was the .5 day of sunshine. When they first got to the house Kenron went crazy over noah! I really believe that he remembered Noah because he kept going over to him and giving him hugs, and Kenron doesnt do that to ANYONE, not even me or Mat. It was so cute, my heart was melting.
We went to the beach and Noah was supposed to just put his toes in.. but pretty much got soaked.. We had fun watching him try to not get wet :)
Ron took him on lots of walks along the beach and was baffled that kenron kept throwing away the good shells they found and only wanted to keep the rocks. I just laughed because Kenron is obsessed with rocks right now.
Ron bought us some pizza on the Pier after we went shopping for "Chocolates" at this cute candy shop.
He also gave Kenron his first taste of cotton candy. Kenron wasnt too sure about it :)

It was so good to see a part of the Tremblay clan. I was so bummed it didnt work out for K and I to go down to Mass. and see everyone else, but the timing just didnt work for this trip. Next time we go we will have Axel to introduce to all of them!

Cabin Fever Sets in....

Have I ever told you how awesome my mom is at entertaining? She is known far and wide for her ability to evoke laughter from the young and young at heart....
She put the beach toy bag over her head and Kenron thought that was pretty hysterical...
Peek a boo!
Hehehehehe
In this one she's saying.. "Ow Ow my earing!!!" hehehehhe

Kenon (and Axel) has a pretty awesome Ya-ya. Thanks for all your help mom, it was the best vacation I've had in a while!

The Children's Museum in Portland ME

For one of the rainy days Kenron, Ya-ya, uncle Bub and I went to the Children's museum in Portland Maine. It was a GREAT place to spend the morning.
collecting eggs and flying the space shuttle
Ya-ya waiting for K to come in the tree house
Getting the Whole World painted on his cheek

I dont know who had more fun: Ya-ya, Bub or Kenron.
