For my friend, Jenn :)

So, I was informed last night that I needed to be updating this blog. I went out to eat with some friends for some much needed mommy alone time. However, when I got home at 10pm Carson was wide awake and nowhere near ready for bed. We finally laid down around 11 and he was out quickly.
It's a busy day in the Pyper house. Brandon's birthday was Thursday and we are having his birthday party today. We have family in town and it's been good seeing everyone. His Dad and stepmom, brother and his wife and 2 kids are all here. We are going swimming at my Aunt's house and grilling out.
We are finally moved into our house. We closed on May 28th and moved in that day. It's been sooo busy! We are finally getting settled in but there is still so many things to do. Brandon has worked so hard on making sure me and Carson have a nice home and yard to spend our days. He really is the best husband and father EVER.
The pregnancy is going well. I am about 16 weeks along and finally feeling much better. I've just started feeling the baby moving and I forgot how wonderful that is. We've decided to have this baby at home and I am soooo excited about that. I have a wonderful midwife that I've been seeing and I'm so glad I found her.
Well, I know there is more to talk about but we are leaving in a few minutes so I'll end this for now.

New house

Well, we are about 4 or 5 weeks out from closing. I can't believe it's almost finished. We are sooooo very excited! These last few weeks have been a little stressful with wondering how it's all going to come together, picking out some new furniture and trying to decide on last minute things we need. I've been so tired these first weeks of pregnancy. I'm glad we've decided to hire a moving company because I really don't feel up to moving. I've really decided to just not worry about it. It WILL come together and everything will be fine.

Here are the latest pictures

The picture says it all :)

To be cont.

Holy moly! Why have I not been keeping this updated. Oh well, I will be back soon................I Promise!!!

Busy weekend

Brandon left for California on Thursday so Carson and I have been on our own. I really hated to see him go because I've been having a rough couple of days. Well, yesterday we went out to lunch at the Olive garden with some friends and then went to the bookstore to talk and let the kids play. It was fun and I needed to visit with friends. Today Carson has his first birthday party to attend. We went and bought a spiderman toy and had fun trying to wrap it together. Brandon will be home tomorrow and I can't wait. I hate it when he goes out of town, I feel lost.

Keeping up

Well, as you can see I suck at keeping up with this blog. I really am going to try to do better so we'll see if it happens. Carson woke up at 4:30 this morning :( I refused to get up so I made him lay in bed til he fell back asleep around 6. I have no idea how to get him to sleep longer. We've tried going to bed at different times and nothing makes a difference. I'm trying to wean him from that early a.m. nursing to see if that makes helps. He is getting so big. I looked at him this morning and he just seems so grown-up; Where did my little baby go?

Brandon went to Reno, NV last weekend for his first ABA national race in a long time. He ended up 4th and was sooooo excited. He's decided to go to Oklahoma next weekend and race. I'm really glad he's getting back into racing, he really loves it. He's had several surgeries over the years that has kept him from riding as much as he would like but he's feeling really good now.
