Some adventures in Oct!

Okay, okay...here's an update!
We went to see Grandpa and Mama Bea Sheets in VA at the beginning of Oct. It was soooo fun! Mom and dad got to ride a lot in Mama Bea's new Cooper Convertible, (I didn't...something about a car seat not fitting...WHATEVER!)
We saw so much scenery that I actually did lose my breakfast on one day's drive! All in all Virginia is beautiful!
We went to see Mom mom in Maryland and saw a bunch of daddy's other family too, in MD and in VA.
I got to know my Aunt Bethany and new Uncle Joel a lot more...I love "Dole"! We went to the coolest park on the planet, we ate a lot, we hugged and kissed and had the best time!
Thanks Mama Bea and Grandpa for the awesome trip!
Here's the album:

Family vacation to VA 10-2007

We went to Julian in the San Diego mountains last weekend and what an adventure that was...to say the least. It started nicely with a yummy breakfast at home with mom and dad of scrambled eggs with ground beef and cheese and toast..mmmmmm...then we headed off to Grandpa and Grandma's in San Clemente with Auntie Erin (this trip was for her birthday). We met them and Auntie Grace and were off to the mountains...not a fun drive once on the curvy road...everyone got to see my breakfast a second time! Mom was really upset with the mess and the fact that she had forgotten to bring extra clothes didn't help. So we cleaned up, well mom, dad and Grace did, I just stood in my diaper in a parking lot screaming for all to know I didn't feel good! I rode in my diaper with ALL the windows down the rest of the way up. We spent a good part of the afternoon looking for something for me to wear...all the while I'm screaming in the stroller with daddy who wasn't happy either. By the way, if anyone wants to make a LOT of money, they need to move to Julian and open a kids clothing store!! They had nothing for us little people up there!! About 10 stores later mom found a souvenir shirt for $5.00 but no pants...we looked in a bunch more stores (pretty much every store in the town...literally) but found no pants. Mom was about to offer a bunch of money to a stranger with a kid the same age for a pair of their pants!! Grandma suggested we check with the bed and breakfast, maybe lost and found...so we did. All they had was a pair of women's XS pajama pants, (mom says thanks to whoever left them!). They had a draw string so we took them and tried them...they worked! They fell down to my ankles a couple times but I had pants...daddy and Grandpa put them on me and cut the legs to fit while mommy was in a store. Mom laughed a lot when she came out and saw me, she said I looked like a hobo baby.
This is the finished product:







Mom says we're stopping along the road for site seeing (and car sickness avoidance) next time we take a mountain drive.

Random days:
Goofing around at breakfast with mom








I'm not giving mom the stink-eye...it's a game I play...we look up at each other as far as we can.

2007_Aug-Sept

The Lord gives and takes away...

First things first, posting is getting hard to do with life getting busier and busier.
The last few weeks have been rough for my family. A little over a week ago on Sept. 13th we lost a wonderful man. My Grandpa Rohde was one of the most wonderful people you could ever know. I was very close to my Gramps and it is a great loss in my heart. He was taken Home and out of his suffering so peacefully and mercifully (to say the least) about 6:00pm on the 13th. It is so bitter-sweet to have lost him (temporarily), but to know he is whole, in no pain and reaping his rewards with his Savior brings us great joy!!
Thanks to all who have been praying for our family...we need it!
We love you Gramps!!

That's right, we're having a boy! Now ask me what we're naming him....NO IDEA!! pray for us!
Here are a couple pictures of our precious little guy at about 20 weeks:


He was chewing like crazy every time we looked at his face...he'll fit right into our family!!
Belly shot: about 4 months (a little larger than with Reagan...no it's not twins!)

Update and a GREAT reason why this post was delayed

Okay, so mom has a REALLY good reason why she hasn't posted in a while...(even though we promised)
Here it is:

Yes, I will have a brother or sister early next year! Due February 2nd, 2008!
Mom has been really sick for over a month. So hopefully you all will forgive us for not posting until now.

Here are a LOT of pictures from the last couple of months.

watch me grow up before your very eyes (April through July)

catch up video, pictures and Easter

Here is a montage of a few videos we've forgotten to post.
The first one is what I was doing for a while to tell mom that I was done eating.
The second one is me watching my Praise Baby video and talking to mom.
The third and forth are me with my new "band wagon"...I just get really frustrated when it doesn't do what I want it to...watch for the "accident" at the end of the fourth.
The fifth I've learned how to push and kick my ball to mommy.
The sixth is me walking in my new dress down the hall at church.
And the last is me and mom spending some time on the front patio. I have an agenda with the leaves (mom just has no idea what it is)...just playing.
These are a few months old: Sorry, this one you'll have to click on to take you to the video...mom is working on this new video set up.


lots of videos

Here are some pictures to catch up too...(more fun stuff mom is working on and should be on this week.)

random pictures

Easter: some of these "pictures" of me and mom and dad the camara was set on video, so if you see really short videos of us standing there looking kinda dumb that is why. And in some my hair is looking a little shabby...it's the "I just woke up from a nap" look.
