Father's Day

For Father's Day this year we tried to make it all about the little stuff. For breakfast before church I made cinnamon rolls... Mike ate 4 out of 5. Then after church it was a little relaxing before Mike's dad and grandma came over for a BBQ. Mike grilled some excellent steaks and corn on the cob and we enjoyed Grandma's Potato salad and baked beans. Yum Yum! Daddy and Grandpa both enjoyed Evelyn's gifts (saturday Evelyn and I painted and did handprints that I put in magnetic fridge photo pocket things that I found). Then after Grandma and Mike's Dad left, Evelyn and I made Monkey Bread, Daddy's favorite dessert!

Here is Evelyn helping mommy make the Monkey Bread!

She is surpisingly a very good helper, except she kept drying to eat the raw dough :)

Her favorite part was shaking the pieces of dough in the cinnamon sugar.

After the monkey bread, Evelyn went straight to daddy to cuddle while he relaxed and played video games.

Such serious faces!

Mike said he enjoyed his Father's day... and I did too!

Even when her face is a mess, she's still the cutest kid I've ever seen!

Time for an Update! (Easter)

Okay it has been way too long since I posted anything on my blog! Now it's time to play catch up! First of all I wanted to post Easter pictures on here... yes Easter... that was months ago, but these pictures are just too darn cute!

This is the Easter Egg hunt at our church. She really had a blast!

Look at those super cute pig-tails!!!

She was very good at making sure they went in the bucket.

I was actually very impressed with her egg hunting skills.

Look at all those eggs!

Always sticking her tongue out... silly girl!

She loved Easter egg hunting!

Of course there were activities for the big kids too! Mike enjoyed those...

Potato sack race

It always ends in some casualties... But Mike was the champ!

Egg toss...

The kids got bored watching the big kids... uninterested in each other, but were enjoying there candy.

So the kids got involved in the 3 legged race...

I'm pretty sure they were cheating.

Aren't these kids adorable!

Evelyn, Mommy, and the bitty baby bump. It was bright outside!

More of the Belly

Well I had a doctors appointment on the 5th of this month. I got there at 10am when my appointment was scheduled and I waited in the waiting room until just after 10:30am. Finally they called me in the the doctors room and told me to strip down and cover with the large papertowel thingie. I waited like that until 11:00am when the doctor fianlly showed up. My doctor dosn't fool around and went straight to do the vaginal ultrasound. First thing she says is "Wow! That's a big baby!" Well apparently when I called in for the appointment they had put the wrong estimated due date in the computer and I was farther along then they thought. The doctor then decided she could get a better look with the regular ultrasound. Thank goodness! She took a few measurments and said my estimated due date of September 26th was good. Mike and I got to see the baby wiggling around, but unfortuantly I didn't really get a good look. This was all done in about 2 minutes. She asked if I had any questions and then she was gone. Soooo... I guess my appointment was really more of a 'confirmation of pregnanacy' appointment. Anyway, my 'official' ultrasound is scheduled for May 5th and we will be able to find out the gender and get some pictures. Until then enjoy these Prego pictures of me at 16 weeks :)

Little Baby Bump

Okay, It's finally time to put these up! BELLY PICS! I'm 12 weeks and 3 days and I'm defenitly showing alot sooner this time. It's just a little baby bump, but it's there. Second trimester will be here soon and I know I will be feeling like a million bucks!

Weather Warming up!

Ahhh... I love when the weather warms up. Evelyn does too! This last weekend Mike built a very nice chicken coop for our new little chicks... spring chicks I'm so excited :) Evelyn helps feed them and calls them 'peep peep' but she dosen't like when the really friendly ones try to peck her shoes.

Evelyn also likes to feed the fish in my pond. My dad built the waterfall and it's a nice realaxing place to sit in the summer. In a couple weeks I will be getting some plants and flowers to plant around the pond and it will be my little oasis.After all the chores are done Evelyn likes to play on the trampoline, she always says "mama up" to get me to join her :) She's jumps around saying 'bounce bounce'!Electric Hair! Evelyn loves when the weather warms up and she can play outside. I can't wait for summer to be able to get her little pool and water toys out! I know she can't wait either!

Sonic Speed Life

Wow time can fly so fast sometimes! My work asked me to come back early this year, so I am now working part time at the State Park again. It's a good thing because now I can get my benifeits a bit earlier. I am 12 weeks pregnant now... morning sickness is starting to lessen. I'm very pleased to say that I have not prayed to the porcelain god once this entire pregnancy. I think that has to do with the many things I learned when I was pregnant with Evelyn. My energy is slowly returning and my face is not breaking out anymore! Yeah here I come second trimester! My first doctors appointment is scheduled for April 5th and I'm very excited. Mike and I got our midterm grades and I have an A+ in Physcology and an A in English; Mike does too, but mine are higher =P. I'm very proud of my self :) Everything seems to be going along at sonic speed, but we are all doing great. I'm going to try to post some more of our recent and past ventures on here. We took family pictures last week and I will be posting them soon as well!
