Heeereee bunny bunny...

We had such a fun Easter weekend! Chad hasn't taken a day off in.......well forever, so we left Wed night and headed to Logan. It was so nice to spend a few days up in the sunshine. Then when we got there, no sunshine. It rained most of the weekend. We were going to stay until Sunday but we had things to get back to so we headed home Saturday afternoon. We had so much fun coloring eggs, watching movies, hunting eggs, and playing with cousins. I'm glad the weather held out for our hunt!

There is a new baby horse by our house and Gracie LOVED him.

This picture cracks me up. Grace is acting like the chicken. I caught her in the act :)

Talk about a lazy sunday.

Coloring eggs!!

It's hard to see this one, but Mike went on a walk with Grandma and he took off down the lane, so she had to send a cousin after him.

Grandpa Mike is planting a new orchard up by the house so Burke and Chad helped plant about 150 trees.

Gracie's cousin Chloe sent her a Flat Stanley to spend the weekend with us and we get to send it back to her class in Cedar. Grace wanted to take him everywhere! Even to feed the baby goat.

Mikey just used his poker as a sword.

We celebrated Jen's bday while we were there. Any excuse for chocolate cake!!
Happy Bday Jen!

33 weeks! I finally passed where I was with Mike. Man do I feel pregnant. You are all so nice saying I'm so small but I don't ever remember being this uncomfortable with my other kiddos.Watch, I'll probably pass my due date.

Saturday morning egg hunt...... and they're off!!

Everyone got their own color of egg. Mikey was blue and he did such a good job finding all 25!

Poor Mike kept spilling his eggs

Checking out the loot

After the hunt we found baskets with new outfits!

Grandma and Grandpa bought all of the kids an Easter outfit. They all looked so cute!

I had to post a picture of Chad's Easter cake. I'm so lucky I married such a well rounded guy. Who makes a cake from scratch like this?!

A day in the life...

There is no reason for this post, other than I didn't want my pregnant body to be the first thing people see when they visit. I'm so grateful for modern technology because I always have my phone with me so I can take pictures of the sweet moments I share with my babies. Here are some random ones from the past few days:







Mike scratched his chin today and he couldn't get used to the bandaid.





Gracie after our afternoon nap. She fell asleep on her hand and it left the perfect imprint on her face.





























We are only missing Chad! We all have to sit on the same couch for cartoons.

Lunch time!!

31 Weeks

Well, we are 31 weeks down. I am taken back a bit when I think that when I was this far along with Mike, he was born in a week. This pregnancy has been a pain in the patoot. I never thought puking 3 times a day would be the least of my problems! I'm not going to bore you with the details, but basically we are trying to keep this baby in as long as we can. That includes shots and ultra-sounds (not the fun ones) weekly and lots and lots of help from the grandmas. We are so lucky to have so many people who are willing to help us out. This baby is so lucky to have so many people who want him to be born healthy and full term! Things really are going good. We are literally counting down the days and weeks before he comes. Getting baby things ready isn't so easy from the couch but we will be more prepared this time than we were with Mike!

Conference weekend.

My poor blog. Things have been happening in our lives I promise. I was put on bed rest because this little baby is threatening to come early just like Mikey. So along with that you'd think I would have PLENTY of time to blog. Not so. I find it is hard to get motivation for anything these days. I know I am going to look back and wish I had documented this time better. I have had a lot of fun reading my journals from when I was pregnant with Gracie and Mike and this time is no different. So even though my next few posts might be really lame, I'm committing to doing it anyways. Because if I am bored out of my mind, my readers might as well be too :) We have had to stay pretty close to home for the last few months because we need to be by a good hospital in case this little boy decides to join us soon, so needless to say I have had a bad case of cabin fever. So when conference weekend rolled around I was pretty excited to head up to Logan. We go every year and the boys usually do the orchard pruning but this year it was just Chad and I so he just helped his dad with some random outside projects. And it has been the weirdest weather so we didn't really know what to plan on. It was about 60 on Friday then on Saturday we woke up to about 5 inches of fresh snow. Spring is right around the corner, I can feel it in my bones. I'm so excited to soak up the sun. I look and feel like death has been knocking at my door (even though it hasn't) so this change of seasons is just what we need. I have more pictures I need to post, but this is all I have time for, so you'll just have to be patient while I catch up.

Of course Mikey wouldn't get off Grandma and Grandpas new fourwheelers
