YMCA

Every Friday Alden and I have been going to the YMCA swim pool. This is Alden's favorite part, he goes down this slide over and over again.

Gender Quiz

Last night I decided to take one of those gender quizzes online to see what they thought I would have based on my size, cravings, ext... Based on there calculations I have a 50% chance of having a boy! I guess this baby really wants to surprise us and I think he/she might just accomplish it. :)
We are excited about maybe having a surprise though, either way we are glad we have a healthy baby.

Summer!

These are pictures from our trip to the Smoky mountains and when we visited Shilo back in the beginning of May. (I haven't taken many pictures this month otherwise I would put up some more resent ones, I definitely do not need my coat this month .)

Summer is officially here in Mississippi, it has been nice and warm/hot for the last few weeks. Alden and I have been enjoying going swimming just about every day. We also spend most of the morning playing outside (the park, feeding the ducks, and playing in the sand volleyball court) then we spend the afternoons keeping cool inside.

We still have a couple of boys come over in the mornings to play, which we love. Alden loves having someone to play with, and it keeps me busy and on my toes.

As far as the pregnancy is going, it is going really well, no complaints. It is going so well that we haven't needed an ultrasound... which means we still don't know if it is a boy or girl. We are hoping that we find out before the baby comes, but as my doctor has assured me, we will find out one way or the other when the baby comes. I am now 30 weeks and the time is flying by.

Pictures

This is one of Alden's many piles that he has made lately!

Alden's first ice cream cone!

Graceland, we finally decided to make the trip to see Elvis's old home. It was neat to learn about him and to have a fun date together.

What Alden is up to...

Computers

Alden loves playing on the computer, and he has gotten quite good at it, he likes to pull up home videos or any video for that matter. This is one of the reasons we don't blog much anymore, because Alden wants to play on the computer any time it is on.

Piles

Alden loves making piles of things, he will find anything and everything he can to make his pile. It is almost like his little nest, because he will then sit in his pile and play with everything around him.

Potty Training

We have kindof started potty training Alden, we aren't pushing it that much, especially since we will be taking a road trip this weekend. He does quite well with it though. We started because he started going potty in the toilet a few weeks back and last week when he ripped off his diaper and then went potty on the floor, I decided I might as well be potty training him.

Alden's song

Alden has had a greater interest in playing his violin. Every time I have a lesson he wants to get his out or if Michael or I are playing he likes to his violin out.

February Pictures! :)

I was finally able to upload a couple of pictures, these are from the last week or two of February. The first was a day that we all went to the park, Alden loved feeding all of the ducks and birds, Michael and I just enjoyed being outside in the nice weather. Lately it has been really nice so we have spent a lot of time outside.
These last two are from my birthday. It was a great day, Michael made some wonderful food and an amazing cake. It couldn't have been any better of a day.
When I went to get Alden up in the morning on the day of my birthday he had this flower ready for me with a note that said, "for mommy". (I took the picture later once he was dressed for church.)
