So we had an awesome weekend last weekend! Friday night was my monthly girls Bunco night. Luke and Jason got to play at the neighbors until bunco was over. Saturday we headed over to Ryan and Loralyn's for game night with all our friends. That was so much fun but with two toddler boys it was a lot of work! Boston and Luke actually got into a fight. They normally get along great but they started fighting over a toy and pushed eachother. Sunday was our next door neighbors kids birthday party. The party was for Ben (10) and Kayla (5). Luke loves Ben so much. Ben pushes him around in Luke's little car, or on a scooter, bike, or skateboard. Kayla loves Luke and pretends he is her little doll! They had a birthday party at the pool and the kids have so much fun. Ben is at the age where he is really into clothes and shopping and he mentioned to me that he really liked Tilly's so we got him a gift card to Tilly's and his face was pretty priceless! He was so happy and can't wait to go shopping! After the party we ran home for a bit and let Luke nap for an hour then we headed down to our neighbor Susie's house for dinner. They have family in from out of town and so we all hung out and had some fun! By Monday morning I was exhausted. I could barely stay awake.
By Tuesday I had started feeling less exhausted and that is good because I have officially given up caffeine again. If you don't know I had not had caffeine in about 2 years but all of a sudden the last few months seems like we are getting busier and busier and I am getting less and less sleep and I started drinking coffee. Now that we are getting a little more serious about having another baby I figure I better cut down on caffeine now so I don't have to do it while I'm tired and not feeling well from being pregnant. Speaking of being pregnant I have 3 pregnant friends right now and could possibly have 2 more pregnant friends within the next couple months. Talk about a lot of new babies!!
A couple of weeks ago I entered a text message contest for a store in Old Town called Hotlicks, which is a hot sauce store. They have nothing but lots and lots of different hot sauces. Well the prize was hot sauce for a year (2 bottles per month so 24 bottles total) and I won!! I got the call yesterday and am super duper excited. I mean really its not as awesome as say winning diapers or gas for a year but its still fun!
This weekend is shaping up to be pretty fun. Saturday we have Ryan's 30th birthday party. All the boys (big boys not baby boys) are going to play laser tag Saturday morning while us girls hang out and do our own thing and then the boys will join us and they are having Pizza and Beer. I'm excited but now that Ryan is 30 makes me sad because I know its my turn next :(

Awesome weekend
So we ended up having an awesome weekend! Luke was great the whole weekend and we got lots of family time in! I worked on Saturday so while I worked Luke and Jason walked down to the taco shop and got themselves a late breakfast. Jason sent me a picture on my phone of Luke in the restaurant in his Pj's and it was so cute!! Saturday night Lindsay came over for Chicken Taco soup and salad. It was so nice to hear about her very super adventurous trip to Alaska. All I can say is NO THANK YOU! I am not up for camping in the middle of absolutely no where for 5 days. I don't want to camp anywhere for 5 days!
Sunday we went up to San Clemente to meet up with our neighbors who were camping. They were camping at the beach and had an awesome little camping spot and had at least 8 trailers there with lots of people (and lots and lots of kids!). It was overcast but nice and we walked down to the beach and Luke had a blast. The water was cold but Luke didn't mind. He likes to just stand there and wait for the waves to come. It is so awesome to see the excitement on his little face. After playing in the water he played in the sand for awhile. Lets just say he had sand everywhere! When we got back from the beach he played with all the other kids and just had a blast. We drove home that night to sleep in our own beds and since Luke only got a 1 hour nap on the way up he slept really good that night! I myself went to bed before 10pm which hasn't happened in months and we got to sleep in until 6:45! It was awesome.
Monday we just spent the whole day at home. I got a nap in while Luke napped and then we had an early dinner, bath and then headed out to play with the neighbor kids. The kids right next door to us are awesome with Luke and push him around on bikes and in his police car. He is really spoiled rotten!
Its a short week for me (only 2 days!) and we have a busy weekend ahead us but all fun stuff!

Doctor's visit
We took Luke to the doctors for a check up and shots yesterday. He weighed in at 21lbs 10oz and 31 inches tall(he has gained 1lb 10oz and grown 2 inches since his 12 month check up). The doctor said he is perfect! Not too thin and definitely not chubby. I always think he is a little chubby especially when I see him next to Aurora and Boston but the doctor made it clear he was not chubby and a little on the too small side but said since he is smaller boned and short like me he was fine. He got his shots and was fine after that. We then picked up dinner and went to a really cool park and played in the grass. Luke's favorite new thing is playing baseball. He has this little ball that sits on a tee (but its really small and not like a real tee) and hits it with the bat. He is a little obsessed actually. Its pretty cute. He hits it then says again and does it all again.
The doctor did mention that he likes to start trying to put them on the potty at 18months. I am not sure if we will do that or not. A potty training guide a friend gave me said optimal time she has found was 22 months which seems a little more likely so I guess we will wait and see where he is in the next 2 months and see if we should give it a go or wait for a few more months. He also would like to have the bottle and pacifier gone at 18 months. We are down to 1 bottle per day in the morning and I don't know how we are going to get it away from him. He is not the most pleasant child in the morning until after his bottle. I don't blame him either because I am not pleasant at all in the morning. I try to not be irritated but Jason just smiling at me or saying anything at all irritates me. This morning he got up and just the sound of him peeing irritated me! I need help. The pacifier is going to be difficult too. He only gets it in his bed and its not like he is sucking on it all night long but the doctor was concerned about his teeth so we will work on not using it. I may wait until after our Vegas trip.
Speaking of Vegas we are now going twice in November. The first time we are going with Ryan and Loralyn for 2 nights no babies! I'm soooooooooo sad and don't want to leave Luke but it will be good to get away before we start trying for another baby. The second time is for an accounting meeting and we will take Luke with us and Luke and I will hang all day alone while Jay does his meetings. It will be fun just to get away and Luke loved the hotel last time so even if we spend all our time there it will be good. I have some friends and family there I would like to try and see also!
By the way if you can't tell by my new background I am very much looking forward to Fall. I love summer and we have had a fantastic one but I love fall and getting ready for Halloween and all the other fun stuff!
