Big bump & Tilden Park

Well, when I was pregnant with Maggie I took pics every month and now that I'm almost 17 weeks I should probably get a picture of this one! It's already a little stinker and I'm still tired and still sick every so often. I'm also trying to tan up my pasty white body so I took advantage of these hot days! We decided to find out the sex of the baby so our appt is on Monday, May 4th.











Tilden Park was so much fun! I can't get over how much fun she has on the Merry-go-round!

If you ever want your kid to just stop talking for a little bit then a nice train ride is the best thing. J/K It was a fun trip and the train ride is only $2! She loves hanging out with Nonna and Papa!

Moe Moe, Kev & Easter

Maggie's 2nd Easter!!! Last year she was sick and this year she woke up with a nasty runny nose. We went to Papa's church to be with family and she loved the worship time. At our church they go right to Sunday School so she never hears the music! Afterwards, everyone came over for a BBQ and watch the only kid around hunt for Easter eggs. We need some little cousins Tony & Erika! She loved wearing her dress all day!




Here is Cousin Mike helping her open the eggs.













This was the spot she chose as she got each egg she would come over here, open it and eat the yummy candy (chocolate covered raisins)!!!










Here's Grandma hiding the Easter eggs! She still does the grass trick!! Every egg had fake grass next to it... I remember that as a kid too! I was just excited that the Easter bunny brought me the Reese's giant eggs!










Moe & Kev (my cousins) came for a visit from Nebraska! It was so much fun hanging out with them... Now every so often Maggie says, "Mommy, call Moe Moe"! We miss you!

My motivation

I've been meaning to read the Bible more often and I just can't get myself to get on a routine. Maggie gets up at 6:45 a.m. and I can't get up earlier than that. I keep making excuses and I just need some motivation. Guess who took out my Bible and started reading it? My little motivator.... She was singing the alphabet but it was so cute!

Quotes from Maggie: 22months
Mag: "Mama, I took my haircut out (hairclip). I want to put it in mommy's hair. So pretty! I want to put it in Daddy's hair".
Mom: "Oh... you want to put it in daddy's hair?"
Mag: "Yes"! (she's saying yes now instead of OK)
Mom: "Does Daddy have any hair?"
Mag: "Nooo"
Mom: "Where is Daddy's hair?"
Mag: "In the garage!"

Mag: "I want to kiss Vincent!" (Random out of the blue comment)

Mag: "I want to kiss the baby in mommy's belly" (lifts up my shirt, looks at my belly button, touches belly button) "Ewwwww, poo, poo baby"

Hot Days!

We had some reallly hot days last week and Maggie wanted to dress herself this day. She really wanted to wear her Easter dress but we didn't want it dirty so I pulled out this one. She wouldn't wear any other shoes except these ones. Daddy put on white ones and she cried for 5 minutes and said they were "too big". Daddy went outside to take pics and obviously she was very proud of her outfit. Posing!!!












Brayden's 1st b-day was so much fun but someone didn't want to take a nap.... so by 5:30 she was passed out on the couch. Nothing would wake her up. She woke up at 6 a.m. the next morning. Fun for me!









It was almost 80 degrees this day so she wanted to jump in the water table. Some of her favorite songs this week are "A, B, C..." "Ring around the rosie", "Rock-a-bye baby", "Old Macdonald".









I know it's early to be potty training but she really wants to sit on it. So far she hasn't peed yet but I think she's getting close. I'm taking out the M&M's on her 2nd b-day. The first time I gave her an M&M for sitting on the potty she threw it in the toilet. Good times! She's also fascinated with poo poo. If she farts, she tells me, "Mommy, I tooted" and then laughs. I'm not sure if we'll be able to control the potty talk around here.

Easter pics & Nana

"Excuse me do I have something in my teeth"?












Nana came to visit from Arizona and brought me the cutest Easter outfit. We went for my very first pictures and had a blast!










Attention soldier!



















Look at my new bikini from Ross for $5... I thought it was pretty cute!



















Mommy does a good job of taking my pics too! I'm 22 months today! (March 30th)

St. Patty's Day!

Here is the 3 musketeers together playing on a sunny afternoon.











Somebody took their jammies off in the morning and told me... "Mommy, I'm cold!"












The Saturday before St. Patty's day we went to the Dublin Parade and festival. We went on the the Merry-Go-Round and Maggie couldn't stop laughing which made me laugh. So we laughed the whole time until I started to feel sick.















Serious glasses time!!!!!!!














Excuse me is that poop in your pants????

Bridal Shower & Baby #2

The whole month of February was filled with fun for April's wedding. We had her bridal shower, bachelorette party, rehearsal dinner, pedicures, and the actual wedding. I was so happy to be a part of it considering we've known each other all of our life. I was so happy to see her so happy.








I don't have any pictures of my friends on my blog. Whooops! They are such a big part of my life but my kid has obviously taken over. Here's Treena, Erin, April, Carrie and Me. Tara is in Washington.... Kelly & Becky left already.









Getting ready for Baby #2! As all the excitement of April's wedding is happening.... I'm busy feeling so sick and nauseous (spelling) cause I'm pregnant! I found out at the end of January and have been feeling sick since the 2nd week of February! I'm 10 weeks and that's why I haven't kept up this blog or been calling anyone. Sorry!

Maggie is excited. She's been lifting up my shirt and kissing the "baby". The other day I came to get her from her nap and she touched one of my giant boobs and said, "Look mommy, baby" Yep! Kids are funny! Here is Maggie changing her baby's diaper. She does everything. The wipe, the diaper, & the diaper rash cream.







Sean is the swaddling expert so here he is practicing on Maggie. She actually liked it for a second.












And..... here is the little kidney bean. My due date is October 7th. It looks like a little piece of poo! How cute!
