This Labor day was spent Laboring in our yard. ( well, not me I have had a nasty cold all weekend & that's also why so many posts, good time to catch up) I know sounds exciting, but it actually is when its your first home and first yard that you put in yourself. We have kinda been working on our front yard all summer so here is the front....

(we really still need a few more plants & flowers to make it fuller and some rocks, but check out how nice our grass is coming in!)

And as for the back yard... last week we got our patio put in! I love how big and curvy it turned out. A special thanks to Denis Waters Construction..they did an excellent job! Then Monday MP & some of our neighbors put in our sprinklers & leveled out the dirt to get ready to plant our seed! We are so excited to finally have most of our yard done and by next year we should have a nice backyard to play in! Im so proud of MP and all the hard work he has done to our home and our yard! Im also so thankful for awesome friends and neighbors that have helped us!

oh yes and we have one side of our yard with a fence! yay!

Because last Wednesday we found out that we are having a baby..........

We couldn't be more excited for her to join our family!!! This was my four month (16 week) appt. ...well just about. He said she looks great and is about three inches long or the size of an orange! If you know me very well which if your reading this you do... I can't wait to dress her up, so of course that day i went and got some super cute girl stuff! and I already have most my childrens names picked out so I'm thinking hers will be

Layla Elle Amos,

well for now that's her name.:) Trae is gunna be such a good big brother! We are so excited! & we cant wait to meet her!

{ Okay so here is me & baby GIRL at 16 weeks!}

Friday night we took Trae to the Fair, we got there kinda late so we hurried and saw some animals, Sponge Bob and Clowns (which as you can see from the clown pic...not a fan!). I dont blame him they are kinda creepY!We had tons of fun!

{Trae's 2nd birthday party was a couple of weeks ago. It was so much fun! We did a Sesame Street themed party. I loved all the fun colors! Trae loved having all his friends and family here to celebrate with him. He got spoiled with gifts from everyone! Thanks to those that made it and to those that shared this special day with our little man!}

{Now did you happened to notice Trae's shirt in some of the pics????

if not it says "BIG BRO"!!!!!

Yep that's right Trae is gunna be a big brother in February!

We are very excited and nervous to be parents of 2!!

So as of now I'm 12 weeks pregnant & feeling pretty dang good. This pregnancy has been exactly the same as Trae's.....nauseated if I don't eat 24/7, a little tired and super ornery! Running and my usual workout have become more difficult and sleeping is not so easy! But over all not too bad. Hopefully by next month we will know the gender of our little peanut! We are so so so excited!!!!!!!

( Okay so these pics are a documentary mainly for me to see how huge I get but its also fun to see the belly grow, I did this with Trae and love looking back at it!!!)
