Our new girl Gin

Well Scott and I have been debating for a while on the idea of getting another Shiba for Boost to play with. We had talked to this lady for almost two months about little miss Gin and adopting her. Gin is a almost 4 year old shiba inu just like boost. She is not fixed, nor is boost. She came from a breeder who had ever intention of breeding her but then never did. Scott and I are planning on breeding them sometime either this summer or next winter. Depends what the vet says. She is a very sweet girl and so far is getting along good with Boost and Ada. She is still a little timid and is going to take some time to warm up to us. You can tell they did not give her all the love and attention she deserves. She will be taking a trip to the vet soon as well as the groomers. Ada and I already went out and got her some new toys and a new collar. We are very excited about her and anyone who is thinking of getting dogs, look at shibas!! They are such amazing dogs and I can't believe how well behaved both of them are.

Mr Biggs

Scott and I took Ada a few weekends ago to a play place called Mr. Biggs we found online. It was a really fun time! And Cheap!!! This place has a huge indoor area called Little Big Town made just for toddlers that only costs $5 to get into! And that's for all day! We also ate lunch there and they had good, but really cheap food! We played for almost 4 hours and ate for under $18! I was very pleased about this. Its been hard here with it being so cold to find things to do with Ada that gets her out of the house a lot, so I was happy to find this. The Little Big Town has all sorts of shops set up like a salon, a vet, a hospital, a fire station. Also a huge indoor sand pit and a pirate ship with air soft guns to play with. All sorts of slides and climbing things too. Ada had a blast and was all tired out after we played. It was a good fun day! I plan on taking her back again next week with a few friends of mine and their kids! Can't wait!

Alright Dad, there you go! All caught up! Sorry I have been slacking! I have just been busy and pregnant! Such is life!

Oh a small update, I will be seeing the doctor again on the 18th of this month and he is going to strip my membranes at that point and he is hoping it just might do the trick! He says he will be a big boy and we should go ahead and try and get this labor thing going sooner, rather than later! For this I am so HAPPY!!! Until then he has ordered lots of walking! So thats what I am doing! We are so ready to meet our little man :)

Cheyenne Mountain Zoo

Another fun thing we got out of the tax return was a membership to the zoo here. The best part is I can bring a friend with us every time we go for free! Ada and I went with my friend Leslie last Saturday and we had a great time! Its a really nice zoo and they are even doing some construction right now that will be done by the spring time to make it even nicer. Ada loved to see all the animals and now that we can go anytime we want we will be sure to be going A LOT! She loved the monkeys and the giraffes the best! The giraffes here are very up close and personal and you can feed them biscuits. Ada thought that was pretty cool! I should have taken more pictures but it was a pretty chilly day and I was just not thinking about it. I will be sure to take more next time we go though.

New Toy for the kids!

Well we decided to get a fun toy for the kids out of our tax return this year. I always wanted a trampoline growing up but my grumpy old man would never let it happen cause it was "to dangerous" and a "liability" blah blah blah. Love you Dad! Scott had one growing up and him and his siblings loved the thing and so far so does our little Bug. She loves to be outside jumping and she has absolutely no fear what so ever! I think it will be a great toy to have around to promote outside play as much as possible especially this summer. Here's a couple pictures. Can you tell there is a lot of static here! lol

Brayden Cole

Well had a doctors appointment today. All went well. The baby is head down and ready to go! But sadly they are still set on the March due date so I have at least a month more of this torture! It feels like FOREVER!!!! Other than that they said he looks healthy, he is on the bigger side, what a shock there! And that the levels are still high for fluids but they are one cm shy of being in the danger zone so as long as I don't go up another cm then we are good. I have another appt with my regular doctor on the 26th where I am hoping to convince him to give me some meds to help with the frequent contractions so I can get some sleep! But all in all baby is good, mommy is good, just very very IMPATIENT!!! I want my baby boy in my arms! Were so ready to meet him! Posted some cute pics of the little guy! He is even smiling in one!

On a side note Tara and James have planned a trip out to see us in May and I am very excited!! First one of Scotts family to come to Colorado to see us and were very excited and of course its after the baby! Were planning on doing some wheeling and checking out the sites while they are here. We are so glad they are making the trip! We hope to visit Salt Lake at some point this spring or summer as well after the baby is born. We want to see family again before Scott deploys.

Well other than that not much to report, hope all is well with everyone!

I love to hear what everyone thinks! And I have way more followers here than I do there!

Big Sis shirt

I made Ada her very own Big Sister shirt and she loves it! I think she is starting to understand that baby brother is almost here! I have seen these shirts online but I am just to much of a cheapskate to spend the money on them. So instead I found the purple shirt on clearance at Target for $2 bucks and just used some fabric I already had. :)
