Too FUNNY & REAL to not copy cat post!

This was on a girl's blog I used to cheer with...not only was I laughing, laughing, laughing, (it is Ellen) but happy to hear someone else having the insomnia problems that I have been having with this pregnancy!!! She is having a boy too....is this just preparation to get ready for a wild little guy who will demand me to be up day and night?!?! Oh the nights I slept sooooooo good being pregnant with Audrie. Those days are gone!

It's a................


We are soooo excited to be blessed with a little boy!
Audrie started off saying she wanted a boy...she must have known :) They are going to get along great since she knows all about cars, dinosaurs, and dirt!

I'm all boy!!!


Here are a few ultrasound pictures in 4D, which was really cool to see! He was a wiggler so they are a little distorted.

We caught him rubbing his eye and his little fingers would spread out.

So amazing how defined we can get images now...he's only the size of a soda can.

Well I'm beat! I have had a great few days of lots of energy, but I am feeling the drain tonight! Too much yard work, but I can't keep myself out of the sunshine! Time to put baby and mama to bed! Enjoy this beautiful week everyone!!!


Easter and a Special Easter Egg

Oh I'm soooo late on posting Easter!

We had a fun weekend with an Easter egg hunt at Aunt Colleen & Uncle Brad's house. These kids were all over the backyard!

These kids were all over the backyard!

Audrie excited about her finds

Our kiddos discovering what yummy treats they got

Audrie loooooves CANDY!

Sunday was BEAUTIFUL!!! We went to church and I still had my camera in the car so we were able to snatch a picture of these cuties! Awe "Lu"! (as Audrie calls him)


Super cute...we may be making a match here


The Easter Bunny knew that church was early and that Audrie is not a morning girl so he came while we were at church! Good thing he had a snack.

Oh the fun Easter baskets...one girlie and one CARS of course :)

Where to start...

Oooo money!

And CHOCOLATE! What else could possibly make her happy?...

Oh The Three Little Pigs DVD (she LOVES the book)

And some CARS underwear! Oh my we have some fun ahead!

Easter Egg Hunt #2...Hey we practiced all month for this! She needed to have some serious rewards for all her hard work! :)

She found eggs so quick this year and all by herself!

It was a fun Easter weekend full of beautiful weather, the spirit of Christ, wonderful family & cute kids, and very yummy food!

And our special egg we are finally officially announcing is we are expecting baby #2!!! We are very excited! Held on to the the news for a while, but the bump is out!

19 weeks

Excited for baby!

P.S.
We know what the little one is...we found out on Thursday...but my family needs to eat...I will be on later with pictures...FINALLY!!!

Negotiating already?!?!

Audrie and I were coloring before bed and I told her it was time to go up and read stories. I kid you not...this is what she said!

"Mommy 4 more minutes."

a little shocked I said,"No 2 minutes."

"hmmm 3 minutes?"

Where did she learn that? I haven't started to give her the minute warnings yet. I am still stunned because not only did she pull that, right now she is asleep with no crying or even the slightest fuss in her big girl bed for the 1st time! We worked all afternoon to get her room clean, the crib turned into a big girl bed, and adding a friend to sleep with... a little baby goldfish. She told me she missed "Boo" her last goldfish when we were at Petsmart the other day. So I couldn't resist getting her a little friend to keep her company as we try this new transition. My girl is really growing up! I love all the fun conversations we have been having & and I can't wait to see what her little mind will think up next!

Audrie's 1st Haircut!!!

I finally gave into cutting her baby hair away! Grant has wanted to have her hair cut for a few months now...I've held on to my baby.

She's 2 1/2 and we went for a big girl haircut from Aunt Jenni yesterday. I went first so she could see everything and then when it was her turn she let Jenni do it all. I think she liked the hair wash the best. She looked so relaxed :)



Jenni really does a good job washing! It feels so good


Cute little towel! I'm being pampered today!

Chillin'...watching my movie while mom gets her hair cut.

You're up girl!!!

Look at the length...is mom sure?

As long as I get my lock :)

1st Cut

Bye Bye straggly hair

Checkin herself in the mirror


Styling

I think she likes it!

Really...I'm done, but that was fun!

My amazing Aunt Jenni! Turned me into the big girl I've been for a while now! Thanx Jenni you did fabulous!!!

Mommy & Audrie - What a fun day!!!
