Trip to Kansas City

This weekend we made a trip to Kansas City to visit Jake's brother Steve and to watch his nephew Kyle play football. Kyle plays for a college in Nebraska, so we've never gotten to watch him play before. But they came to Kansas City this year, so the drive wasn't too far. Kade really enjoyed watching the football game and was very good. I figured he'd get restless, but he did really well. He did get mad a little because he wanted to play football! He also got a megaphone while we were at the game and loved yelling "Go Tigers Go" throughout the game. It was really cute! While we were at Uncle Steve's, Kade also discovered the Wii. His favorite was bowling. All the way home he cried to go back to Uncle Steve's house because he wanted to play bowling!

Here we all are at Kyle's football game, Aunt Holly, Mommy, Kyle, Uncle Steve, Daddy, Kade & Papa.

Daddy & Kade went down on the field to run around after the game.

At the Park

Tonight Kade asked me if I would take him to swing at the park. So I took him to the elementary playground, and we had a lot of fun. He enjoyed swinging and sliding.

Bowling Fun

Today for our family outing we took Kade bowling for the first time. He loved it! It was a lot of fun. We'll definitely have to take him back again soon. He kept saying, "I did it!", every time he'd knock down pins. It was so cute!

26 Week Checkup

Today was my 26 week checkup. I had to do the one hour glucose test. Drinking 10 oz. of orange "stuff" in less than 5 minutes isn't my idea of fun! After drinking the "stuff", I headed to see my doctor while I waited the one hour. It was a quick and easy checkup. My vitals were all good, and I've gained 21 pounds now. Kolt's heart beat was in the 140's today and sounded real good. Dr. Stout said things seem to be great! She told me that she'd call me this afternoon if there seemed to be any problems with my glucose test, but if I didn't hear from her, everything was okay. I never heard from her, so that must mean I'm in the clear! I go back in 4 weeks for my next checkup. I am 25 weeks and 6 days pregnant today. Only about 3 months to go! Oh, and we've decided on his full name, Kolt Asher!

Chuck E Cheese

Today Jake, Kade and I went to my cousin's birthday party at Chuck E Cheese. Kade had never been there before, and he loved it! He really enjoyed playing all the games and picking out prizes at the end with his tickets. We will definitely have to take him back!

Here Kade is riding in a car with Chuck E Cheese. The ride actually took a picture for us. Kade didn't seem to mind Chuck E Cheese here at all, but when he came out for the birthday party, Kade didn't like that one bit. We weren't surprised! We all really enjoyed ourselves today and had a good time!
