"No Touch Mommy's Makeup"

This was on daddy's clock. I was taking a shower. I can be thankful he didn't poke an eye out or something. Poor child gets scolded (since he knows mommy's makeup is a "no touch"), but then is asked to look at the camera so mommy can get a picture.
Of course he gets the $24 Lancome mascara...Little turd. Luckily, he tried to be very careful in putting it away, and that he's so cute. Just a little bit of mascara smudged on the outside, and the brush was bent upwards a little bit, but was easily fixed. :)

Happy Happy Birthday!

Today was my nephew, Dawson's, 1st birthday! Can't believe how fast that year went! We enjoyed the day with mostly family and our dear friend, Joy. Played outside a bit and of course, enjoyed some delicious cake!

Our friend, Joy, was a wiz with the balloon animals/flowers/fruit...just about anything you wanted! The kids loved it.....
...and so did Dave by the looks of it. Joy's "fruit bowl" creation.

What would a first birthday be without a picture of the special boy digging into his cake! Happy birthday buddy! We love you!!

32 Week Baby Belly Shots!

As promised, here are the 32 week belly shots. I just don't feel right calling it a "bump" anymore. As you can see, it really is more of a "bulge"...



Look at that big ol' white belly!! :)

Littleton Historical Museum

My sis-in-law, Sarah and I took the kids the Littleton Historical Museum. It's a fun, free place to go with the kids on a nice day. They had fun looking at the different animals and just being able to explore and run around. We almost had some accidents with the big piles of goose poop, but luckily, we were able to avoid them. Powell liked the animals, especially the barn cat that was roaming around the grounds. He is quite the animal lover, even though we've never had any pets with him. It was a little windy, but overall, it was a good day. :)

32 Weeks

Well, I had my 32 week appointment today. No ultrasound this time, but things are still looking good. To date, I've only gained 17 lbs! Hooray! Hopefully I don't gain 30 lbs in this last month and a half. I am, however, measuring 2 weeks ahead (34 weeks). Yep. She's a big 'un. :) Not too surprising though. I'll try to update baby bump pictures soon so we all can see just how big I am.

Can I just say how happy I am that my favorite seasonal candy is being carried? Easter is a great time of year for more than one reason, but if you all have not at least tried Brach's Fiesta Malted Milk Eggs, you really should.

They do carry them in a pastel egg form, but have a bit of a weird taste to them. I do purchase them though if they do not have the white ones in stock. Actually just purchased my first stash of them today! Yippee! :)

2 Year Pictures

On Valentine's Day, my mom took me, Powell, my sis-in-law, Christy and nephew Isaac to get pictures done at JCPenney's. These pictures were Powell's 2 year old pictures. We took some of the 2 boys together. It was a little crazy trying to get two 2 year olds to cooperate. Throwing m&m's at them was a success in getting both of them in the shot, but getting both of them to look at the camera at the same time proved to be more difficult. We did get a few pretty cute ones though. Powell also had an issue getting his picture taken by himself. He was basically sitting on me the entire shoot. Good thing we got some good ones without me being in the picture.

Jumpin' Jumpin'

Powell is really getting into jumping these days. He doesn't clear much air, but he sure does try! He does at least get both feet off of the ground at one time, so that's something! It's obviously a little easier when jumping on a couch. :)

This little turkey decides to step right on my pregnant belly at the end of this video and then of course he repeats everything we say...

Here are the 27 week pictures of our little girl. And yes, our printer/scanner is still broken, so I had to take pictures of the pictures. They didn't turn out too bad though. The first picture is of her foot and the other 2 are of her little face.


Her little hand is in front of her mouth in this one and what appears to be a smile is on her face. It's like she's already got the little girlie giggle action down.
