A Bullock Family update

I am just horrible with the blogging, but I guess one post a month is better than nothing at all. I forgot to come back and post about our family's big big huge announcement SO, here it is... we are expecting baby #3 this summer!!! We are all so excited! Nick and I took the boys along for the first ultrasound and tried explaining to them that the ultrasound machine will let us be able to see the baby even though it is still in mommy's tummy. Well, we ended up leaving with both of the boys in tears because they didn't get to see a "baby" just a "gray thing" and Kingston was under the impression we were going to get to bring the baby home. I'm just glad the boys are so excited for our newest addition.
I can hardly believe that Valentine's day has already come and gone this year! This year was probably the best valentines I've ever had! Nick and I aren't really into doing gifts or going out but we tried to make the day special for the boys. We surprised the boys with pillow pets (that they have been asking for for months) and candy, I made pink semi-heart shaped pancakes with strawberries and fresh whipped cream for breakfast, we had a heart shaped pizza for dinner and finished the day by taking the boys to see "Gnomeo and Juliet". It was a great day!
In other Bullock family news, Stryker has been playing the piano for about six months now. He is playing with both hands and is reading music! He is also playing indoor soccer and is biting at the chomp for the weather to warm up so he can plant his garden. I am so proud of him!
Kingston just started itty bitty ball and loves it! He really loves that his brother comes to watch him do something and cheers for him- he is so used to sitting and watching Stryker play. We've also been going to story time at the library every week and he loves it. He gets so involved with singing the songs and doing the activities! I am very proud of that little man too!
As for Nick, he is headed to Gillette, Wyoming for work. I am not too keen on the idea of Wyoming or the fact that his schedule is going from week on/week off to 2 weeks on/2 weeks off but I am thankful that he is working and working for a good company that for all intensive purposes seems to actually care about its employees! The change is going to be difficult but it will be nice to have him home for 14 days!
Me, I couldn't be more happy with life right now! Since leaving Rise things haven't slowed down much at all! School is going well. This semester has been the most challenging yet and I will be glad when its over!...2 more months!! The boys literally have an activity every day of the week except for Fridays and Sundays so, we stay busy! I've gotten back into cooking from scratch now that I have more time around the house and it feels great! The first trimester with this baby was tough! The fatigue was extreme and the morning sickness was not exclusive to the mornings...not at all! But, I am happy to say that has passed and I feel pretty good!
Well, enough with this post already!

Best,
The Bullock Family
