Easter 2014

Trying to get pics of my crew is TOUGH!  

There is either a jokester in the crowd...

 Or someone gets mad...

 or someone keeps trying to walk off (that would be Tyler we kept having to bring back)...

 I made my 2 younger girls' dresses.  I especially loved Noels!

 Tyler would only somewhat cooperate if we let him play with the cat toy! He is one strong willed kiddo, but we'll keep him! :)

Boy or Girl???

This is how we did our gender reveal...

 We took a vote and it was pretty much down the middle!

 ...and it's a boy!! (of course we already knew this since baby boy is here)

39.5 weeks

I just couldn't pose for a picture this week. I am feeling frustrated that I am still pregnant so here is a pic of me laying around yesterday w/ my baby boy in my pjs!

38.5 weeks

Another week down! Hopefully baby boy decides he is ready to join his family soon! We are sooo ready to meet him!!

37.5 weeks

There is no other way to say it except I am HUGE! I feel o.k. when I get dressed and look in the mirror...I mean I know I am big but, when I see a pic of myself all I can think is holy cow!
My oldest decided to pose w/ me. He was being kind of a goof ball! He sure is a handsome boy though!

**I hope ths is the last pic I will have to post but, I am sure it is wishful thinking!

36.5 weeks

One of the most unflattering outfits I have worn so far! Oh well, I am completely running out of clothes to wear. Everything is to dang short...one negative thing about being so tall!

One of my sweet young women @ church and her mom made me this lovely diaper cake!!! I was out cleaning the garage in a million degree heat when I received this awesome gift!! It sure made my day!

35.5 weeks

I am seriously on the home stretch within the next 2-5 weeks we will have a new baby boy join our family. I am soo excited!!!

34.5 weeks

OK let me warn you this dress is way cuter in person and I don't think I look quite as huge in person as the picture makes me look! :) Oh and Noel had to show off her "baby bump" too!

I can't believe how close my due date is getting. I have made a HUGE to do list for myself...which kinda sucks but, I work well off a list and so that's what I am doing. I am really just trying to get everything organized so that this sweet little guy can come home to a place of order and not total chaos!

33.5 weeks

This was quite the photo shoot today. Peter was in a mood all day long ti was not a good day! Of course when we went to take pictures he didn't want me doing that so you get to see him having a fit!

And here is a picture of me in what I really like to wear everyday. Yoga pants and a t-shirt usually a maternity shirt just because they really are a little more flattering.
You probably can tell just by the pics. I am totally wiped out from this week! It was a long one.

32.5 weeks

So today my photographer was my 9 year old and I guess my instructions were lacking because I said make sure you get my belly in the picture. This is what I got. It made me giggle. This is how I would like to see myself sometimes! :)We did another one. A little better, he got most of my head. I gave him one more try and he did it. Not the most flattering picture but, he got all of me in it.

8 weeks left!

I can't believe I only have 8 weeks left. This pregnancy has been flying by and I can't wait to meet this little guy! He has become pretty active over the last week. I was at the pool trying to climb into a tube, to float on the lazy river, while holding my 2 year old and apparently I totally squashed the baby and he flipped or something. Now I have been able to feel him move a lot more than before that had happened. He was the most calm baby I have ever been pregnant with. I would only feel him move once a day and not for very long. Now he is much more active! Hopefully the little guy flipped into the correct position but, I am not going to let my self stress about that because at this point there is nothing I can do. I really am just excited to get to hold him in my arms and for my hubby and kiddos to get to hold him too!
On a side note, not that anyone cares, I got the floodles done for cub camp!!! Yay!!!! Seriously happy they are done!

31.5 weeks

It is funny how you think you look halfway decent in something until you see a picture of yourself in it. My goodness, I can't believe my tummy has 8 more weeks to go!

On a side note...that is how Peter smiles when you tell him to smile. I guess he thinks we all scrunch our eyes up, so that's what he does. What a goofball.

Had a very busy day today. Had a Dr. appointment for me today (which I get to repeat in 2 weeks), brought 15 year old to the ortho, brought all the kids to the pool, went to the grocery store and threw in a lunch date w/ my hubby because I needed some adult time. Feeling a little crazy right now. I hope it is just hormones and not the new me!!

31 weeks!

Yes I know I look amazing!! ;) Just kidding, of course! 9 weeks left, I can't believe how fast things seem to be going now.
My girls wanted to be in the picture too. Don't you just love their cheesy grins almost?!

29 weeks

29 weeks, well almost 28 weeks and 6 days!

See my new bracelet!!??!! I love it! I will show close up pics later; this is definitely my new crafting thing for right now.

27.5 weeks

So here are the "best" pics we got today. Russell was being a goof and just started clicking away. When I checked to see if there was an acceptable one there wasn't so I told him to please take a decent one. Unfortunately he wasted the battery on goofing off and this is what I was left with to choose from. Oh well.....
I know cheesy smile but, in my defense I was smiling and talking at the same time trying to get him to stop goofing off!

Also, I am finally in my 3rd Trimester!!!! WOOHOO!!!

26.5 weeks

Russell is not very good at getting a good angle of me. Just the largest angle, oh well!

25.5 weeks

Getting bigger....

I know that I am rocking those socks. I had boots on and that is what was hidden under them. :) Also, I know we look like slobs w/ all the clutter in the hall. That is what happens after church we come home everyone kicks off their shoes and dumps them in the hall and of course anything in their hands gets dropped there too!!

24.5 weeks

23 1/2 weeks

I like this shirt but, man it is amazing how you see something in a picture and decide that it makes you look huge. Maybe everything would make me look huge right now! That's OK it's a small price to pay for such a huge blessing. I am really excited for this baby, he has really become more active over the past few weeks. It so amazing to me to feel the baby move around, it is just so miraculous! :)
