baseball season

Grant and Kole have started baseball and we have been able to go and watch a few of their games so far. We love baseball season and enjoy going to the games. Josh starts softball in a week or two, which is always fun too.

Kole

 Owen

 Will

at this particular t-ball game the sprinkler popped up and was spraying Owen and i smack in the face. We got really wet and ending up leaving early.

Girl shower

my sweet sister n laws gave me and baby girl a shower a couple of weeks ago. Nothing big, but all my good friends came and we were still so spoiled with gifts. I have more pictures they are just on another camera.

35wks 6days

according to my phone

i always have my phone with me and it's just easy to snap a picture with it then get my real camera out.

We have 1:00 church! worst time EVER! owen is usually really really grumping. this one sunday he had fallen asleep on the 5 minute drive to church. he slept on the car for most of sacrament.

 Owen and Carter at Carter's birthday party

 we took my mom to the airport when she left for AFRICA for 12 days!

 We love his big boy bed and sleeps really well in it. has only fallen out maybe twice.

 family night at DQ

 He LOVES to wear sunglasses

 my big project for Owen's room. it hangs on the wall above his bed.

 sneak peek at the cute lamp i got for Baby girl's room!



nature

the weather has been so nice here like in the low 70s and sunny. So we have been taking major advantage of it and always being outside!

 mk nature center is a perfect spot for Owen. gets to see ducks and fishies and then a huge park to play at afterwards.

8 months

Owen KILLS me in this picture!!

 t-minus 8 weeks until my due date! YIKES, this baby will be here before I am ready for her. I feel great but i have hit a slight wall and getting around is getting a little harder. I'm currently 33 weeks pregnant and feeling BIG! and she will only keep getting bigger. still measuring 2 weeks bigger, weight still great and on my track. i have made a big list of things i really need to start getting ready for this baby. don't even ask me about a name.... hardest thing to pick ever!  i have narrowed it done to 7 names though.

sleeping is fine, but my hips are starting to hurt. Her movements are really big and uncomfortable. not to mention i have been having braxton hicks contractions which are so annoying and uncomfortable to deal with.

easter 2013

on Saturday we were at my parent's house for a little easter party. I let Owen color eggs which was a huge mess and way out of control but he really loved it.

 a little egg hunt outside. He and Mark really only cared for two eggs, one per hand!

 Easter morning the Bunny left some eggs for him to find and a basket FULL of goodies! He was most excited about his bubbles for the bath.

after we went to church we headed to Willden's for a yummy Easter dinner. We had a great Easter weekend.

Easter sunday

We got dressed in our best spring outfits for Easter Sunday. I can't get over how darn handsome my little man looks.

 my boys

my toddler

Owen had his 2 year check up and here are his stats

30.5 lbs

34 or 35 inchs

He is ALL boy! he loves anything to do with sports and running and playing outside all the time. he is really smart and picks up on how to do things, such as hit a ball off a tee, shoot hoops, throw a ball, ride his trike. he can be such a sweet funny boy to such a crappy hard headed kid. That is how he has been since he was born!

he still sleeps awesome, one nap during the day and like 10 + hours at night. And in his big boy bed.

eats just about anything

has all his teeth he needs at this point.

LOVES bath time

starting to want to be independant and do things himself. For the most part he is really good at that.

started to say sister when he points to my belly.

he is so outgoing and social

looks who's two

how is my baby boy already 2 years old!? the time is flying by with him. we had the family over for a baseball theme birthday party. he had so much fun and got SO spoiled by everyone. the kids played the donut hanging from a string game. the bigger kids did great at it, but the 2 and under crowd just grabbed and ate their donuts!

 his aunt Day Day got him this awesome Buzz 4-wheeler. it was really popular with the 3 and under group of kids.

 we got him a very inexpensive tramp from craigslist. He LOVES to bump aka Jump.

He still is full of energy and hard headed! we love our little man and can't believe how fast he is growing into such a toddler. He is going to be such a good big brother.

7

7months/28weeks. the day we left for the bahamas i entered into my third trimester! i feel like i have a ton of time left still but May will be here before i know it.  i am currently 30 weeks and feeling pregnant. my belly had a growth spurt! She moves  A LOT first thing in the morning, mid afternoon and right around 10 at night. I am constantly moving with Owen running around and the busy life we have. Weight gain is still on the lower side but creeping up and no swelling due to pregnancy yet.  still measuring big, but for the most part i feel really good and I love being pregnant which is a perk i think.

a couple pictures to go with the post below it.

proof that we did get dressed and didn't live in our swimsuits

 i was a swollen mess!! the plane ride plus the hot humid air made my legs/ankles/feet so huge and nasty looking. the picture on the left is when we got to the hotel and that wasn't even the worst of the swelling! then the other pic is a couple days after we got home, pretty close to normal. gross

 the bahamas native have and dance thing called junkanoo! so entertaining to watch them march through the streets with their amazing costumes and loud music band. not to mention the dancing!
