WhAt HaVe We BeEn Up To?

In the past few weeks we have just been surviving. Or I have! We have still been going up the canyon for Sunday dinners to cook out. All the pictures are on my Mom's camera so I have none to show. This is a favorite new tradition for our family. The boys really look forward to it. So do I. I love to be outdoors.
Last weekend my cousins threw me a no baby shower Baby Shower. They really wanted to give a a shower but I just felt like I have everything I need and did not want to make people feel like I was taking advantage of them. I was very flattered that they were thinking of me and this sweet little baby on the way. So we instead had a really fun girls night. We met at my aunt Jorjajna's got Pei Wei take out and had a blast! It was so fun. I love hanging out with my family. This group of girls is so fun. So thanks to Alisa and Shayna for thinking of me! Once again I don't have any pictures but my aunt was taking some so I need to get them from her.
Cody is still totally loving school. He is so dang cute. He loves to do his homework. His teacher gave us a list of things to do for homework and you have the month to complete it. Well Cody wanted to do the whole thing in one night. So we spread it out into 2 nights! He is so smart and just flies through everything. When I ask him what he liked at school for the day he always says, "Everything!"
Landen and I have had some nice one on one time everyday now since Cody is in school. He really missed Cody. He always wants to go get him. Landen keeps me very busy. He has the shortest attention span ever. So we go through a million things to do while Cody is gone. Right now he is really into playing games. We play Candy Land and Shoots and Ladders everyday. He is good. He usually wins!
Matt is still working a ton of hours. I never see him. Neither do the boys. But he has really been making an effort to spend one on on time with them when he is home. Cody has really loved this.
This weekend Matt took Cody to the Koni Challenge and Mazda Atlantic at Miller Motor Sports Park. Cody really loved this as much as Matt did. They also went with Justin and our neighbor Jamie and his son Izaya. It was nice for Matt to get and have some guy time.
As for me. I am miserable. I am huge and so ready for this baby to be out! I have been drinking Raspberry Leaf tea and Nettle tea for a week now. Also taking Dr. Christopher's prenatal vitamins. Started walking on the tread mil for 2 miles. Eating pineapple and spicy foods. Reading about maternity acupressure. And whatever else I can get my hands on. I really do not plan to go more than 2 more weeks! I have never gone past 38 weeks so I think my chances are pretty good. So does my doctor. He asked me if I wanted to set an induction date for 39 weeks and I told him no way. I will not be pregnant that long to need that! He agreed with me.
So besides all that things are good. Just trying to get things ready around the house, scrap booking as much as I can, got new tires for the Tahoe, have dinner meals planned until December and just waiting ever so patiently for this baby!
Here are some random pictures for your enjoyment!

Sounds like youre set to go! I would think after having two boys youd not be so anxious, but I understand the want to get the baby out of the belly and see your feet! :) Cody is such a smartie pants, that is so great to not have to worry about him learning, or completing tasks! If you need any help or company.. Im just minutes away!

Aria and I are loving our time together while the kids are all at school. She asks for Chase all morning though. It's pretty cute that she loves her big brother so much even though he can be such a punk to her. Cute pictures!
