May 31st... Seriously???

Could it seriously be the last day of May already! This month has gone by so fast in our little Russell World! So much has happened... so much fun, laughter and a little bit of sickness!

This last week we went to Indio, California with Trevor's family! It was so much fun! We spent everyday soaking up the sun and kissing on precious nieces and nephews that we rarely get to see! We got to laze around in a lazy river, have great conversation with Trevor's siblings, their spouses and of course Trevor's amazing parents that provided the place we stayed at! There is no words I can say to tell you how amazing it was!  The end of the week together a little flu bug went around through each family and I think pretty much all 22 people ended up getting a part of it, if not all of it! (Thankfully Livy has not gotten it yet... but Trevor had it the last day and I had it yesterday)

Before we went on vacation Trevor and I went to go get an ultrasound of our precious little baby that will be making it's appearance in October! I have been feeling since I found out I was pregnant that it is a boy and guess what.... It is a BOY!!! We were hoping for a girl for the sake that he would make grandkids in Trevor's family an even 7 boys and 7 girls... but we were hoping to have the first boy in my family! Looks like Trevor will get his little man after all even though he never thought we would have one! We are more than thrilled and I can't wait to start shopping for fabric to make his bedding!

Little "Rusty" Russell


I have a ton of pictures to show but as of right now I have no idea where our card reader is... Boxed up somewhere!

As for moving! We are officially moved into our new place! But the only thing that isn't ready is.... the whole house... I mean who actually has a new house completely unpacked and liveable after only 2 days! We have beds set up and our room is pretty much where we want furniture to be besides missing one dresser and Livy's bed is set up but the rest of the house will just have to wait till I can get to it! I am unpacking at least 3 boxes a day if not a little more... and even that wears me out!

Happy last day of May peeps! We hope June finds you with joy and laughter!

9 things that are on my mind right now!!!

1. Moving.... Will we be able to get into the house before the weekend? We leave next week on Tuesday for vacation for a week and would love to have the house clean before we leave so the Kimberlin's have a clean place to come home too around June 1st!

2. Livy... She has another high fever and runny nose and no sign of sickness but maybe teething

3. Doctor appointments... I always hate dr. appointments cuz I hate being around all the sick people in the waiting rooms. Baby check-ups for Livy and Appointments for me!

4. Packing... Why is it so stressful to pack?!? Probably because you have to unpack a week later to find stuff you need.

5. Trevor... He is so dang good looking! How could he not be on my mind all the time!

6. The Weather... What is up with the hot weather with crazy wind? I love spring and summer with rain showers or the sun to lay in... but I don't understand why there has to be wind! We cannot get our yard work done until we have a calm wind day to pick up all the weeds blown in the yard or all the leaves left over from fall!

7. Indio 13er'... Resort in Indio, California. Lazy river, kids pool/adult size pool and the beach for one day! 7 full days of fun in the sun with the Russell family I love so much! Need I say more!

8. Baby Flutters... Yup! I have been feeling our little Ross or Rosaleen Russell so much since last weekend and he/she is not even 18 weeks along yet! (Why yes that is an announcement that I am pregnant and due in October)

9. Ultrasound... We have a scheduled ultrasound on Monday! We are so excited! We will not be finding out the sex of the baby though... We want them to write the results in an envelope and seal it so we can reveal it next week on Wednesday when we meet all Trevor's family at the resort in Indio.

We are having such a awesome month of May!!! What is on your mind right now?!?

I know.. I know

So I know I said that I would post after our Anniversary trip to the valley... BUT....... I guess I din't take into consideration that right after we got back we would start packing up our house to move to our new rental!

I have no idea where our SD Card reader so you will just have to wait a little bit longer till we can officially move to the new place and settle in! Plus the new place doesn't have internet yet so it may be a month before I post!

A few things for you to look forward too:
-Our Anniversary Trip with pictures
-Moving to the new house and pictures
-Indio 13'er (A family vacation with all of Trevor's Siblings, their families and kids and his amazing parents that rented the resort for us all.. We are super excited.. Only 12 ish days till we start driving there)
-And lots more going on this month....

Trevor and I also received Jury duty for this month. His is the week before Indio but mine is the day before Indio (Grand Jury Duty) so we are hoping I can get out of it so I don't miss the vacation we have had planned for over a year now!

So much fun and exciting stuff happening this month! Just wait until I can post about it all and show you about all our adventures we have coming up!

Happy Thursday! We get keys to move in tomorrow so I am off to packing! Have a great weekend!!
