Oops!

Well just to keep you all informed, mother's day was great. My boys got me flowers, Chocolate, and a dress they picked out all by themselves. And not that I would have guessed. I love it! It fits and everything. I thought it was pretty amazing and thoughtful since I don't seem to be fitting into any of my church clothes these days. This baby really likes to just hang out there. But I only have 12 more weeks left. Really not even that because of the c-section. Yeah!! Another thing we are getting ready for around here is Allen being out of school for the summer. His last day of school is May 27th and it is coming up fast. I'm not sure that any of us are prepared for what that day will bring. A whole lot of Allen. We plan to have a lot of fun though. Also I decided to cut the boys hair this week because Allen has school pictures on Monday. Well, Allen's cut went fine and Carter's went great as well. In fact he was doing better then he has ever done before at sitting still. So, I was taking my time and doing a little better of a job. It was all going splendid until Kevin walked up and Carter turned his head sharply. I had the shortest setting on the clippers and was just doing around his neck and when he moved and off went half his hair! So, I had to get creative and nothing was working so as you can see he ended up with a funny little mohawk. Now we call him Puck (you know the guy off Glee). Poor little Carter he didn't really know what to think when I showed him in the mirror. Well, that's what's going on in our little house.

Update

As you can tell I haven't been so into blogging lately. I can't quite put my finger on why but I just haven't. So I will give you as much updates as possible right now. The pregnancy is going pretty well. I have been sicker with this one then the others but all and all it's been tolerable. I'm not one of those glowing pregnant ladies that is so happy to be pregnant and thinks the world is just great. Sharing my body with someone else is not my idea of a good time. It would be great if I could have all the babies in the world and not have to have them myself. I suppose I'm more of the glowing new mom then the glowing pregnant lady. I'm 26 weeks along and apparently my baby is the size of an eggplant. I don't have a scanner so you won't be seeing the little guy's ultrasound pictures. But I must say he is a cute little blob. In other news Allen has just signed up for kindergarten and thinks he will be going as soon as preschool is over. The whole thought of summer is killing him. He just can't wait. Carter is starting to say a lot more things lately. Although he would still rather have Allen do all the talking for him. Which Allen thinks is a great idea too. Other than that we have just been doing a lot of everyday stuff going to the park, playing in the yard, visiting with friends and so on. The sun has been coming out a lot more lately and when it does, it is pretty warm so we were able to do some water fun in the back yard. Here are some pictures of that and I think for the most part you are caught up with us.

We put the sprinkler under the trampoline and let the boys go. They were a little hesitant at first but then really got into it.

All time favorite letting the sprinkler spray you in the face. Crazy boys.

Carter playing in the water on the trampoline. So fun!


More sprinkler in the face.

Easter

Well, better late then never I guess. Here is our Easter, sorry. The boys woke up to fine that the Easter bunny had left them some baskets of goodies and hidden eggs all around the house. As soon as they saw this the hunt was on. Then pretty much nothing but binge eating of chocolate for the rest of the day. We met up with my parents and my sister's family at her in-laws. We watched conference, ate, and went on a very large and challenging egg hunt. All and all it was a good day and my kiddos fell fast asleep as soon as we got into the car to go home. And that was our Easter story.

Morning the boys woke up and went right for the baskets.

Everett's Cake

I got to help a friend this weekend make her son a first birthday cake. It was a lot of fun. We laughed and cried. It was very emotional ;). She did a really great job. The cakes were baked by her and she did a lot of the icing on the green monster cake (also a little on the kid cake). I did most of the icing on little kid cake. Her son is a chubby little red haired boy and I thought having him eat a cake version of himself would be super funny. So, he ate the little boy and the monster was for all the guests. I had so much fun doing this with her. Thanks for the opportunity Terra.

This is the little Everett cake.

And this is the green monster cake. Didn't she do a great job?

It's A Boy

Well, the title explains it all. We are super excited to have our house filled with boys. Oh, and he will be arriving sometime late July or early August. And we can't wait to meet him.

Party time

We had a birthday party for Allen and Carter this weekend. I made them a cake. It is the both of them racing remote control cars. It was a lot of fun to make and we got to share it with both Kevin's and my family. It was a great party and even the sun came out for it. We had a BBQ and played with all the new toys. My children are so spoiled. But I love them still the same.

More presents.

The very last present. The boys made off with a hole lot of loot. Everyone had a great time. Or at least I did.

The 5 year old

Allen turned 5 on Feb. 23rd. We decided to do a party for Carter and Allen together later but still wanted to do something fun on his special day. He went to school and I made him some cupcakes to share. Then that night we all went bowling for the first time. It was a lot of fun. Allen had never been before and loved it. He did really well and we will have to do this again sometime. Oh and sorry the pictures are in a strange order. I have been having a hard time getting them to do what I want.

Allen, now that he is five.

Carter helped with the cupcakes. He had green poo for a week.
