The 3 year pattern....

Apparently the Call family likes to make big changes in our lives every 3 years..........

2006 - We got married

2009 - We became a family of three

2012 - We become a family of 4

This little jelly bean will be joining our family around November 3, 2012. 

 Yep this little boy (who really isn't so little anymore) is going to be a big brother.  

And he is ok with it....as long as moms belly doesn't grow.  I think that he is going to be very disappointed because Mom is already feeling quite large (I can no longer hide the fact that I am prego).  

This pregnancy has been completely different for me.  Not only because I am not teaching and I have a 3 year old to chase around......but because I have been sick!  I wasn't sick at all with Shaef so this little one has really thrown me for a loop.  I am super grateful for Zofran, sleep, Saltines, and soda.  

After weeks of not being able to cook without making myself sick - food finally sounded good.  Unfortunately I was craving Cafe Rio and there is not one close at all.  Other things I have been craving since being able to eat: Red Vines, Double Decker Taco Supreme from Taco Bell, Nachos, and Crispy Chicken Strips dipped in Honey Mustard.  Ya basically completely unhealthy food! 

After our little scare with Shaef's birth I have been super nervous to have another baby and have been lacking the faith and trust that the Lord knows better than I do.  I prayed about my concerns in December and felt complete Peace....a feeling I hadn't felt in 2 1/2 years.  We decided that we would go ahead and try to have a baby later this year....and our little surprise came quicker than we thought.  I really believe that a baby was waiting to come to our family but the Lord was waiting until I was ready.  The Lord is mindful of me!  We are all very excited for this exciting adventure we are going to have!

Easter

I am way behind on posting but we actually did celebrate Easter.  It was a pretty low key celebration this year but at least the little man looked stellar!  He is growing up so fast and he looks like such a big boy in his new suit!  

 We were able to have Shaef's buddy Brooklyn over on Easter and she even got to spend the night.  We had so much fun decorating cookies!  

Brooklyn's dad is graduating in a few weeks from Law School and then they move back to Oregon.  We are going to miss them soo much!

Clark Family Disney World Trip 2012

The Clark family had a "Major" family vacation to Disney World.  We had so much fun!  It had been sooooo long since we had seen any of them so it was soo fun to see them and spend time with them.  Shaef's favorite thing to do was to see characters!  He would run up to them and try to ask them question and talk to them.  It was so fun to see him so happy and excited!   Warning:  Tonz of  Pictures!

Our little Pirate!

 Monster claws!

 The favorite character....Buzz Lightyear!  We had to hold him back so he didn't run in front of other kids!

 All the girls with Rapunzel!  We waited the longest to see her.  

 Completely warn out!

 At the character breakfast at the Tusker House, we were able to have characters come straight to our table. 

Shaef was in heaven!

 Chip and Dale were very fun!  They kept teasing Shaef and pulling his hat over his eyes!

 At the dino park in Animal Kingdom.  

 The Winnie the Pooh characters were so fun to see.  Tigger and Shaefer had fun bouncing together.  

 At Hollywood Studios we were able to see Disney Junior on Stage with all of Shaef's favorites.  

Handy Manny

 Jake from Jake and the Neverland Pirates

 We also got to see Mater and McQueen - also favorites!

 Toy Story Mania at Hollywood Studios was our favorite ride and of course we had to wait in line to see the stars of that show.  

 Cuddling with Grandpa waiting to watch Fantasmic! 

 Epcot

 We got to see all of the classic characters too!

 Marie from Aristocats

 It was the flower garden festival at Epcot and the flowers were amazing.  They also had tonz of characters made out of all different plants and flours.  It was amazing!  

 Almost every store had these swords and shields and Shaef seemed to spot them every time.  He wanted them soooo bad and it took time to persuade him to take them off each time.  Grandma, Grandpa and a few of the Uncles and Aunts decided to go in and buy him 2 sets for his birthday.  Lucky boy!  

 We decided to do an extra day at Magic Kingdom and ride all the rides we missed!  

 We also got to see Aladdin and Jasmine.  They were Shaef's first characters without masks on and he wasn't really sure what to think....but he warmed up quickly!  

 We had a little time waiting in line so Shaef passed the time playing with stickers!  

 We had to see Woody again because this time he was with Jessie.  Woody was playing the guitar on Shaef's shirt and Jessie wouldn't give back his autograph book unless she kissed him on the cheek.  I love when the characters interact with the kids!  

 Shaef got to ride dumbo with Uncle Mike and he was so excited!

 I got to ride with my niece Megan! 

 Downton Disney has some of the coolest displays.  Outside of the Lego store there are a bunch of the Disney characters made out of Legos.  They are amazing.  

 Another stores had these windows where they made the princess dresses out of dolls.  They were amazing!
