This has to be one of my new favorite pictures! Gunnar is in love with combines, and has been for some time now! He tells you what he's combining that day, corn or beans, and then goes on combining the carpet, grass, or rocks! :)
Gunnar's other FAVORITE love is riding with the big boys! Nathan and Mike Modrell have been roping quite a bit, which means we've been spending quite a bit of time at Modrell's arena! Since I'm not riding as of right now, Gunnar gets to spend the whole time riding, and good luck getting him out of that saddle! It's so cute to watch him!
Here the guys are, getting ready to rope. I downloaded the wrong pic on here, but you get the idea. If Rex wasn't screwing around, then it just wouldn't be Rex! I love how we don't even have to worry about the horse for one, or our child. He is so comfortable and is usually saying "GO!"
Camping...was interesting this year! This is the 10 minutes that Gunnar actually SAT and wasn't investigating each and every thing that I didn't want him to investigate! Thank goodness for DVD players and John Deere DVDs! I came away more tired from camping, than relaxed! It was so much fun getting together with Mike, Katie, and Wyatt, but having a 2 year old who has a mind of his own and who needs to be on a schedule, but wasn't, was hard.
The boys, of course, had their relaxing time! They went fishing both days, and here Nathan caught a nice bluegill! They definitely owe us some relaxing time, and we're hoping for a date night to Coldstone in Sioux City. It's really not that hard to please us girls, they are just slow at figuring it out! :)
Baby time is almost here, and I can't believe it! August 12th is the due date, and today is July 12th, so if he's anything like Gunnar, a month from today, we'll have a baby!! Yikes! Nathan has been working on priming and painting in the nursery...what a job that has been. The room was a dark navy blue, even the ceiling was that color, so 3 coats of primer later, our room is looking lighter! It's a caramel in color, and half done. Mom and I got the crib set up, I got my fuzzibunz cloth diapers all washed and put away, and his clothes are ready to go! Gunnar's room turned out to be a complete success, and I'm SO glad that he's loving it as much as he is! If not, I was going to move in there because it's so cozy! :) I'm onto weekly doctor appts..and today at 2:30 is my next one. I've been measuring just ahead of my due date, and my ideal date-ha-would be August 8th! We'll see if that happens!! The heat and humidity have been terrible lately, great corn growing weather, which it should be, we live in Iowa for goodness sakes! We finally broke down and turned the AC on...when you can slide your hand down the railing because it's so wet with humidity, it's time for some AC! Needless to say, I am much more comfortable now!
Well, I wanted to update with a few new pictures, riding horses, being outside working on the yard and flowerbeds, and the nursery is what all that's been going on here! Gunnar gives us new words to laugh at every day, so he keeps us on our toes!
One of these updates (hopefully soon) will be a welcoming to our new baby boy, so stay tuned! (Then I'm really going to be slacking with my blogging!) :)
