A little one on the way....

I have been embarrassingly absent from my blog for quite sometime now - chalk it up to summer craziness, a total lack of energy, and 24 hour nausea.

Baby #2 will join us in early January - making me 15 weeks along. We are a little nervous, but mostly just really excited to give Harrison a little sibling.

High Points so far:

Harrison sitting on my lap resting his hand on my tummy saying: "Hey mommy, there's a baby in there!"

Harrison driving his tractors around the coffee table saying: "I'm going to be a big brother!"


Low Point:

Harrison pounding on the bathroom door as I threw up crying: "MOMMY! Are you okay? Are you sick? MOMMY!!"

Hopefully no permanent damage done.

Happy Birthday Jordan

Laid back Sunday afternoon + family and friends + chocolate cake = perfect

Happy Birthday Love!

Full House

My mom, my sister in law Toria and her three kids spent some time with us the past little while. Our tiny house was bursting at the seams - and it was awesome. This is the only picture I have of all 5 Clason grandkids....do you think my mom looks happy?

A Trip Home to Ashland

We spent a week in Ashland for the fourth of July - there were forklift and tractor rides, a wedding with lots of dancing, a day trip to Lake Shasta with dear friends from yesteryear...

fun with cousins galore...

dinner and fun at Lithia Park...

stories with Uncle Matt, tin foil dinners at the infamous fire pit, water parks, shoulder rides...

swings and go cart rides...

oh how we love going to Nanna and Grumpa's house!

Dinosaur Museum

My child is OBSESSED with dinosaurs. He stomps around the house, roaring as loud as he can, while jamming whatever will fit into his T-Rex's wide open mouth. It's hilarious. So we met up with some friends at Thanksgiving Point to visit their incredible dinosaur museum. Harrison was totally captivated by the entire thing. He gasped when he saw the T-Rex skeleton, hugged a small statue of a Triceratops, and couldn't get over the giant great while shark on display. Loved it.

Park City

My sister Cat and her hubby Dan were down for the weekend, so we headed up to Park City for the day. Delicious food was enjoyed, the outdoor market was explored, and Harrison was spoiled once again. I love that Main Street Park City is just a 20 minute drive from my house, what a beautiful place. It feels like you are away for the weekend, out of the city and just enjoying the beautiful, clean, mountain air. Come back again soon Cat and Dan!

Harrison turns TWO!

Harrison's outdoor bounce-house, BBQ and games birthday party quickly turned into a windy, cold, torrential downpour of an afternoon. The BBQ was moved into the garage, the kiddos were all bundled in their coats and slickers, everyone eventually ended up inside, but the party went on. Presents were opened, my little guy blew out his two candles on his cupcake, delicious BBQ was enjoyed, cupcakes were eaten while seated on the kitchen floor, and eventually the rain stopped just enough to blow up the bounce house and have a little jump before the rain began again.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HARRISON!
