Trip to Iowa...

Case and Mommy went back to Iowa to celebrate Aunt Bi-Ki-Bee's bachelorette party. We had a great time relaxing, eating fair food and enjoying our family's company. Before we left, Case was diagnosed with hand, foot & mouth disease. This kid catches everything. I am contemplating taking him to an "immunologist" if there is such a thing... we'll see. He never had a fever, never had sores in his mouth and was the happy-go-lucky kid he always is that we called "rashy" all week. It is finally clearing up after, what, 12 days. It was SO hot in Iowa that we spent most of the time indoors. The humidity made the heat index like 120 which is just HOT. Case played in a little pool on the deck every evening with "branpa" and loved every minute of it. Luckily at my parents', Case sleeps like a rockstar, Mommy sleeps amazingly and we get worn out by cousins, aunts, uncles and grandparents. I am so thankful to be a stay-at-home Mommy and that I am able to go back and forth as often as we can. Ryan works so hard for our family and we are just so blessed.

One of the only ways we can get Case to sit on our laps...a little Yo Gabba Gabba!

Baby Bishop #2!

SO SURPRISED!!!

Well, we are very excited to tell Case that he is going to be a BIG BROTHER! How exciting is that?! I am due on February 1st which puts me at about 10 weeks. We have been to the doctor 2 times for the "confirmation" check up and the first ultrasound. That little one was moving his/her little legs, arms around all crazy inside. We can't wait to find out what we are having. I haven't felt quite as good as I did with Case but it the nausea is coming and going more now than being constant. We are thrilled!!!

Sweet little baby...

Sweet little boy...

Kirby's Wedding Shower

On Thursday, June 23rd, we decided to make another trip back to Iowa. Case & I flew into KC and my wonderful Dad was so gracious as to come get us. We went to Bloomfield and stayed until Monday. We had Kirby's wedding shower, hung out with all of the family and had a great time. Case wasn't his "perky self" from Saturday on and come to find out, he had an ear infection, whoops. Here are some pics of our trip..

My Amazing, Loving, Wonderful Grandma Hoskin

Sweet baby cousin, Hayden!

My truly appreciated, loved cousin, Kelsey

Bride-to-Be, BEAUTIFUL!

LOVE!

We took Case to the city pool on Friday. It was PERFECT weather but the gradual incline of the pool was a little tough for him to understand. He didn't want help and wanted to do it all himself so this is how we dolled him up :)

On Monday, my sweet cousin, Paige and Grandma drove us halfway to Kansas City and we met SUSAN & EMMA!! It was so great to see them. We stayed at their house on Monday night before flying home on Tuesday. It was wonderful to catch up, see where they live and spend some time with them. We sure miss those Chartier's!
