Baby B baby shower!

On September 25 a group of my very sweet friends threw me and baby a little shower.  Since we already have two kiddos and had showers for each of them we pretty much have every thing we need for the new baby.  Not to mention our family and friends have been so sweet and giving with all of our children, we just couldn't imagine asking everyone to another shower!!! However, we did want to have a chance to celebrate this baby and it was fun getting excited for their arrival.  It was small and perfect, just exactly what I wanted.  Here are a few pictures of "Baby B number 3" baby shower:

I have the most crafty friends!  Such cute little touches!

Amen!!!

Boy or girl?!! What will it be!?!?

The theme of the shower was diapers and wipes and we definitely got stocked up!!!

Very grateful for these girls and their friendships :)

August 2014

We started out the month of August with a nice long trip down to Port A.  We spent the first couple of days with GaGa and PaPa at the condo and the last couple of days with Grandpa Rehkopf and the rest of our Rehkopf family for our annual family beach trip.  The kids were both so good and flexible but both came down with a cough and cold for the last couple days of the trip.

We went to a restaurant with live music and the kids LOVED it!  They both loved listening to the music and dancing like crazy!  It was hilarious to watch...especially when PaPa joined in on the dancing!!!  They both wore themselves out from running and spinning around so much, so sweet!

Brayden and Sterling both loved getting to spend so much time with their cousins and second cousins!  

We got to celebrate Uncle Brandon's birthday with cake and ice-cream

Look at that concentration, oreo stacking contest :)

Sterling had so much fun, she just loves when everyone is excited and clapping!  She was just shrieking with excitement! 

Both kids warmed up more and more to the beach.  Although they were both finished at about two hours tops each day before we headed up to the pool

Brayden scooted his chair right up to Halleys so he could be as close as possibl

Brayden loved hosing himself and everyone else down after the beach each day

Sterling, not quite a fan of getting sprayed!

Sterling was loving playing with the boogie boards!

Here are some more pics from this month:

We kept Nash a couple times this month and we never know what the kids like most, playing with Nash or playing in his cage!!!

A trip fun trip to the zoo with friends :)

Lately the favorite things to do around our house are fort building and "monster truck race" which consists of either pushing a truck or car, or getting on a riding car while chasing the other person either racing or trying to crash into each other!  Brayden just has endless amounts of energy and absolutely tires us out playing this game!!  Sterling will gladly play with him but the only problem is that sometimes he gets carried away and is a little rough...
It is usually tough to get a picture of them in action because they are going so fast!

And finally, when we are at home these two are almost always together these days.  It is just so much fun to watch them interact and play.  LOVE watching their relationship grow :)

Won't be long till we have three little monkeys running around here...YIKES!!!!!

July 2014

We started off the month of July heading down to Port A for a long Fourth of July weekend with family and friends.  We had so much fun and took SO many pictures!!!

All packed up and ready to go with just a couple babies ...We are quickly outgrowing our car!!!

Of course we had to spend some time down at the beach.  Brayden LOVED it and I think Sterling takes after her Daddy and just kind of tolerates it!

Brayden had the time of his life with his best friends and we all had a great time celebrating Ms. Dena's birthday on the Fourth:

Could Colten be any sweeter?!

Melt my heart, brother sister love!

A picture of the two of us?!  It's been a long time!  Thanks Ms. Kim! :)

Both kids did so great at the pool, getting more and more comfortable every day.  Brayden even swam the whole width of the pool without floaties several times, he did so great and we were incredibly proud!!!

Brayden had a great time at the Clines BBQ and especially the piñata!  We have gone back down to the coast several times since and every time Brayden asks if there is going to be a piñata there!  

We let buddy stay up really late for fireworks, he did so great but was definitely exhausted!!! 

Naked IPad with sunglasses anyone?!  GaGa's IPad is always a hit with Brayden!

We got to celebrate a big birthday for GaGa!  

Oreo crushing for homemade icecream

We had such a great time and it definitely took everyone a couple days to get back on a normal schedule once we got home!

Here are a bunch of randoms from the rest of the month of July:

Watching golf with Daddy :)  I know this makes Brian so happy!

Helping mommy in the kitchen, of course Sterling wanted to climb right up and "help" too!

Everyone knows the best part is tasting!

We had this blow up pool out in our backyard for several weeks and let the kids go our and play almost every afternoon.  Brayden would slide and slide all day long!

 We went to Incredible Pizza for the first time and then we went back again when Grandma was in town!  Both kids LOVED it and seriously had the best time.

Brayden's first go cart ride!

AND first experience with Laser tag!

Grandma took him for a ride too!  

These kids would be happy just running from game to game and just "playing" them...They just pretend to play the game and have no clue they really aren't! 

Grandpa came and spent some time too!

Our days just wouldn't be complete if every single cushion and pillow weren't on the floor and made into a fort!  

These last few are just my favorites!  So loving watching these two form a friendship and love seeing how much Sterling just adores Brayden :)

Sweet, sweet, kisses!!
