Air Show

We went to the Air Show at Hill Air Force Base. It was rainy on the way up, but it stopped and warmed up just a bit right when we got there! The dark clouds still hung around some, but they made for some cool pictures! It was a long day, but it was a lot of fun! Jaxon thought he had died and gone to heaven! So did Joel! :) We mostly just walked around and looked at all the planes, walked through the ones that were open, and of course watched the planes fly! They were awesome! Here are some pictures....

Sitting in the big cargo plane! It was seriously MASSIVE!!!!

Going in the "big plane". Joel said as soon as they got inside, he found a seat and sat right down!

This one was probably his favorite! It was soooo loud, and was dropping pretend bombs!

Proof I was there.... :)

The Red Bull plane... he was a maniac in the sky! I thought for sure he was going to crash!

Yep, we suckered for a toy... but he was having it mimic what the real planes were doing in the sky. So cute!

 We had so much fun!

Jaxon....

This little dinosaur is getting all ready to be a big brother! He is about 50% potty trained.... he does really well at home... at least with the peeing. The "other" you really never know. BUT... this is a BIG BUT... he is not good when we are out places. Even at grandparents houses and stuff.  He just forgets to tell me, refuses to tell me, is having to much fun to pay attention, or doesn't realize that pottys do exist outside of our home! I haven't figured out which is the main problem. If I take him, he will usually try to go some, but he rarely stays dry when we are out and about. UGH. Have I mentioned how much I hate potty training? So he wears pull ups. I know.... everyone warned me that they are just expensive diapers.. but he actually has done really well in them at home. But it's because when he has a pull up on, I leave him alone... and he will tell me on his own when he needs to go. If he has undies on, I am a gnat buzzing around him making sure he doesn't pee on my couch, or bed, or floor. It's just the in public thing we need to work on. What do I do? Take him out in undies and let him have a big accident somewhere to get through to him? Put undies on UNDER the pullup... so he has the "uh-oh I'm really not dry anymore" realization? Anyways.... enough about potty training. I am not the first, or that last to struggle with it. One day... one day...
What else is new with our Jaxon... he has been in a big boy bed for a while now. And LOVES LOVES LOVES it!! I gotta get pictures up of his cute room. From day 1, he has not given us one issue about the bed. In fact, (grandparents can't believe this) he NEVER gets out of it. In the morning and after his nap, he waits in his bed until we come in and get him out. He can climb in and out just fine, but doesn't. And I am not complaining. I know he wakes up before 7:30-8-ish in the mornings... but he doesn't come out until we go get him. I kinda love it... :)
His preschool ends in 2 weeks, he is going to miss it so much this summer. He seriously loves it!! As soon as we pull in the parking lot he gets sooooo excited and starts saying "My friends!! I go play with my friends! Bye mama... I go to school." Such a big boy.

 Mothers day kisses!

He has really become a sweetie lately. Lots of hugs, kisses, and cuddles! They make my day! There is not much room left in my lap, but he finds a way to snuggle in, which usually involves using my big ol' belly as a pillow or arm rest.
Literally EVERY DAY he asks to go outside to "play hoops". There is a basketball court just around the corner from where we live that he wants to go to constantly. The funny thing is, he only shoots the ball a handful of times, then he wants us to shoot the ball. He would rather chase it. Then after a few minutes of that... he just wants to run around with the ball, playing his own silly game of some sort. So, being my lazy, super preggo self, I bring a chair and let him play and play. :)

1... or 4...

1 Month.... or 4 weeks.... at the LATEST... We will have 2 little boys in our home! Today is May 6th, my scheduled induction date is June 6th. If I haven't already had him... he will be coming sometime that day!!!! I am still wrapping my mind around the whole "2 kids... 2 boys" thing. But I CAN NOT wait to meet this baby! He is a wiggly little guy! He rolls, and rolls, those little knees and elbows are constantly rolling across my stomach. Such an awesome feeling - but it hurts sometimes. Jaxon never did this much rolling... he kicked and punched... HARD! Especially when Joel pushed back or tried to feel him. This baby seems to hide or stop moving if pushed around too much. I am still feeling good... considering.. :) But I am lacking in the energy department. Nesting, and lack of energy don't go to well together. I walk by the baby's room everyday... and I am DYING for it to be set up and ready. But I never have the energy to tackle more then 1 or 2 things at once. Guess it will happen eventually! I did buy some Dreft this weekend... and all I can think about is folding freshly washed newborn clothes! Mmmmm!
At the Dr office I go to, they do 3D ultrasound pictures  from 28-34 weeks. I told Joel I wanted to get some SOOOO bad! So, a few days before I hit the 34 week mark, I got my early Mothers Day present! AWWW it was so fun, and a perfect gift! Baby was totally hiding behind my placenta, and was facing the wrong way. But after some apple juice, a lot of pushing, prodding, and moving around, we finally got to see what this little guy looks like! He is still hiding a little behind the placenta, so they aren't perfect, but good enough for me! We got about 20... but here are just a few.

 I think this one is my favorite! Those puckering lips... I LOVE!

 Sweet little profile... can you see the scrunched up nose??

 

And of course the leg/toes!

I think he looks like Jaxon!! I compared the ultrasound pictures to pictures of Jaxon a few hours old... and they look a lot a like so far. I am excited to see how accurate these are... and what he really looks like!!! The Dr doing the ultrasound said she saw HAIR!! Oh how I hope she is right! ;)
