Finn has some big news to share.....

We are super excited to announce that we will be welcoming a new Sheridan to our family.  I am due on February 1, 2013.  So far this pregnancy has been pretty uneventful, minus the constant nausea and extreme tiredness.  I honestly don't remember being anywhere near this tired when I was prenant with Finn.  Good news is I also haven't gained nearly as much weight at this point as I did with Finn, hoping that that stays the same. :-)
I've had a few Dr. appointments so far and we got to see the little peanut on ultrasound a few weeks ago and heard the heartbeat again today.
Praying for an uneventful pregnancy, no return of the dreaded PUPP and most importantly a healthy baby!

Water Baby

Finn and I spent the afternoon at Wild River County with Kristy, Jax, Stone and Leigh today.  Finn loved the water and had so much fun. 

We stopped for a snow cone on the way home to share and he is now taking a well deserved nap.

He always looks so confused when I take our picture with the front camera.  :-)

July 4, 2012

I just realized this week that I haven't blogged since Finn's birthday two months ago! We haven't really been up to much lately since its so dang HOT, but here are some pics from our July 4th celebration.

Jeff had to work, so Finn and I headed up to my sister's house in Springfield, MO.  Finn loved all the attention

I did not win mother of the year this trip, not only did I forget to pack his pack n play so he would have somewhere to sleep, but I also forgot to bring his booster.  Luckily, I was able to score a pretty cheap and cute pack n play at the Branson Wal-Mart for only 49.99.  And Finn did a great job of sitting in the bar stool like a big boy all weekend.

 These two sure do love each other.

 Attempting a quick photo shoot before dinner and fireworks

 Roxie, my sister's horse, I mean dog thought Finn needs some sugars.

 Finn is blurry in this one, but I just thought it was too cute not to post.

 Finn liked this basketball more than the fireworks I think.

 All Boy! Dirty knees and feet! I'm sure I have plenty of this in my future.

 My handsome nephews Broday and Josh with their favorite 1 year old,  Finn.

Party at the Park!

We had Finn's birthday at the park in our neighborhood the day before his actual birthday.  His birthday fell on a Sunday this year and since all of our family would be coming from out of town, we thought it would be better to have the party Saturday. My sister Laurie and her husband Darin came down Friday night and stayed the weekend with us, but everyone else just drove down for the day on Saturday.  We are so thankful for everyone who came and made Finn's first birthday so special!

 The Birthday Boy before his party.

The amazing cake!!  I found the cake on pinterest and a girl that Jeff works with made it for us.  It turned out so cute and was soooo good.

We hadn't asked for a smash cake since I just figured we could give Finn a piece of the cake and he would be just as happy, but tiffany surprised us with this adorable Cookie Monster cake for Finn! So cute and Finn loved it!

Our family!  Again I found the idea for the fruit/veggie trays on pinterest, but Jeff actually put them together.  He is the best daddy everyday, but he was definately Super Dad on the day of his party! I planned the party, but when it came down to executing everything Jeff really did it all.  Finn and I are sooo lucky!!

Finn thought it was so funny when we all started singing Happy Birthday to him.  He just smiled and hammed it up for all the paparazzi, aka family.

He wasn't too sure about what he was supposed to do at first.....

But before too long, he was digging in

Blue frosting in the hair is awesome!

Georgia wanted to take a picture with her "phone"

Clean up time!

Thank goodness for those blue towels and a water faucet.  The wipes were just making it worse.

All Clean!

Two of Finn's favorites gifts... Cardinal Hat and Giant Red Ball

Mothers Day 2012

Me and my boy before church on Mother's Day 2012

We spent the weekend at Gran and Papa Sid's house and ate lots of yummy food and drove the dogs crazy, haha!  Can't wait until next time!

Birthday Trip to the Zoo

On Finn's actual birthday we went to the zoo.  We are determined to get our money out of those season passes, plus its nice to just get out in this beautiful weather while we can.  It won't be long before its 100 degrees every day.

We took a break for some lemonade and a corndog. Our Zoo has the BEST lemonade ever! There have actually been days that I've considered stopping by the zoo on my way home from work just for the lemonade.  It doesn't help that sometimes I have to park at the zoo since I am still waiting on a parking place at UAMS

Next year we may be just getting Finn balloons for his bday.  He played with these for an entire week before I finally popped them and threw them away. 

We decided not to give Finn his present at this party and wait until his actual bday.  I think Jeff and I may be more excited about his gift then he was, but I know he is going to love having a wagon.  Doesn't every little boy need one?

We had plannned to take a walk around the neighborhood, but after such a busy and fun weekend, we were too tired to do more than a few laps around the yard.:-)  I think Finn was ok with that.
