This and That

We went bowling a few weeks ago and they even had a little pair for Nadia! Jessica and Kevin were staying with us for the weekend and Darren wanted to get some pointers from Kevin.

Loser buys shots!

Play time with Dad

I think Darren is excited to have a boy-what a good Dad!

Playing with sparklers in the garage...in their princess crowns. :)

Nadia has enjoyed pregnant Mommy who always has sweets in the house

10 Days to go!!!!!!!!!!

Fall Festival

We have been packing it in the past month before the baby gets here. Aunt Dana asked if she could take Nadia back to the farm with her for Pheasant Hunting Opener. We always go back for it...it's typically bigger than Christmas in ND and a huge family affair. Darren and I couldn't go since it was so close to our due date. So...I drove Nadia to Fargo and she got to spend some quality time with her Aunt Dana and the rest of the Kuhn clan. Darren and I spent the time going to vball games, happy hours and a movie. It was a busy weekend for us, but way too quiet in our house!

We met Lisa, Meg, Nora, Hana, Henry, Miles and Milla at the corn maze today. The kids had a blast-the adults couldn't stop talking about how EXPENSIVE everything was. Yikes!

The butterfly and the puppy/zombie

Dogpile!

Miles liked to attack Meg!

Prettiest little pumpkin!

Boston 2014!

For those of you who followed Darren during his Boston Marathon race, you know that he was very disappointed with his time. Don't get me wrong, he was so happy to finish is those temps, but disappointed in the fact that he made it to Boston and then had to slow down that much due to weather. Of course, he was looking at what race he could do next about a week after we were home. Boston changed qualifying times so he would have to beat 3:10 in order to qualify again-his PR was 3:13 (I believe).

Once again, Darren amazed all of us! My friends Lisa and Krista came with me to cheer him on without any kids so we could make it around the course. Each time we saw him he had a smile on his face and was feeling good! We didn't make it to the finish-he was too fast for us, and I only got one picture that day! 3:04:40 was his official time-INSANE!

So-back to Boston we go! Darren had the choice of waiting until 2014 and decided to give his body a break (sort of-he already has a training plan that he started). :)

The TC Marathon also has family events all weekend and Nadia ran in the Toddler Trot-a 50 yard dash with a bunch of other 3 yr olds. It was hilarious!

So...Boston 2014!! Any friends/family who want to go...start saving now! It's an expensive trip but well worth it! My Mom has already agreed to watch the kids for us so we can enjoy some of Boston that we didn't get to before-BARS! Wahoo! :)



Labor Day Weekend

We all flew out to SD to spend Labor Day weekend with my family and Darren's parents. I was supposed to fly to NYC for my last work trip before baby arrives and it was postponed so Nadia and I changed our flights and flew in on Tuesday. That worked out well!! Darren flew in on Friday after work and met us.

Nadia loved being at YaYa and Papa's house. She had her routine down where YaYa let her watch a disney movie in the morning to start her day.

We were busy most of the time going to the lake, riding horses, 4 wheeling and playing with Mauren.

We all rented 4 wheelers for a day and went riding near Deadwood. It was so much fun-the girls were strapped in their car seats and didn't complain/whine all day while we were out on the trails. It was extremely dusty and everyone was a mess at the end of the day, but well worth it!!

I did a horrible job with pictures this trip. We got to spend a lot of time with my cousins Shelly, Kaley and Lane and I didn't get one picture with them! Ugh! Nadia LOVED playing with Lane and is still talking about him. :)

Nadia's request for bfast-caramel rolls! She loved her little table

Don't kill me Mom-We had the whole beach to ourselves!

Papa teaching Mauren how to fish

The girls got to fish in a neighbor's pond that was loaded with sunfish. They could just drop their poles in and catch one-so fun!

Nadia loves her Great Aunt Sue!!

Ready to go 4 Wheeling!!

Just a little bit dirty. :)

The classic Darrell Kuhn 10 minute nap

Come on Fall!!

We are getting down to the final weeks of our pregnancy! 7 weeks counts as the final weeks right? :) I keep telling myself that anyway. I've had more of the typical aches and pains with this little guy than I did with Nadia, but I'm still at home we haven't had any issues so far! Knock on wood! We have our C Section scheduled for Nov 1st!

Nadia is pretty excited about her brother...hopefully that doesn't wear off too soon. She gets pretty excited when she feels Sam I Am move and is always very concerned about how I'm feeling. :)

She loves to play dress up still and my Mom let us take my Grandma Bernadine's jewelry home with us. It has been a hit!!

She's got the pose down already!!

32 weeks!

Eric Moe and Darren sumo wrestling at our church festival

That was a lot of work!!

Nadia and Logan are getting so big!!

Parents of the Year go to....

Not us! We've had such nice weather lately that we decided to open up the windows one evening including one that didn't have a screen. We left it open too long and forgot that we live in MN where the state bird is a mosquito. Poor Nadia got eaten up over night. She won't ever keep her covers on so she was pretty exposed to the darn things and even had a wedgie so they got a little butt cheek pretty good. Poor thing!

This leg got it the worst

Darren bought Nadia a VTech reader that she calls her Ipad

She wanted to sleep on her bean bag for nap. :)

Happy 4th of July!

Darren and I only had Wed off this week so we went down to Dundas to see Dion and fam. It was SO hot here and most of the day was spent inside with the AC. We did make it through a parade though!

Nadia trying some Nutella

Asking me for the 10th time when the parade will begin

Chase the trooper in the 100 degree weather!

Rubbing ice on Daddy's head

Nadia LOVED waving to the 'princesses'

Chase didn't want to miss out on the action...awake most of the day!

22 Weeks and counting!
