Zeke's 5th Birthday, Easter, and Baby purchases!

 For the first time I bought an edible image for a birthday cake and it turned pretty awesome and was really easy to apply! 

Zeke and his mater Cake! 

We have a 5 year old! He is the sweetest silliest 5yr old there is and we just love him! I probably have more pics on lee's phone of him opening presents and what not but for his birthday my parents came up for the weekend and we had lots of fun being with them and we went rock climbing and bowling and then to pizza pie cafe and then came home that  night for cake and presents he had a great birthday! He got a scooter and a paint set and painting paper and absolutely LOVES them both he also got a dinosaur book and a few other things. He's my artsy kid and really good at it too! he pays such attention to detail! 

Easter we spent in Layton Utah with Lee's oldest brother Craig and his family! We had lots of fun with everyone! 

Maylee hunting eggs! 

Drake egg hunting

Landon egg Hunting

Zeke egg hunting! He was so fast running around he couldn't stop for a pic lol and that's his cousin carson on the right. 

All the eggs they found!!! ( us moms made sure everyone got the same amount and I think it was close to 30eggs each haha) 

The candy haul! 

The Easter Sunday Pic! :D They just couldn't hold still long enough or all look at the camera at once lol this is the best we got haha 

Allllllllll the cousins!!! haha love this pic! ages 7,6,5,5(just barely turned 5) 3,2,1,0,0! haha and baby on the way! 

Maylee and her babies! she just loves these too! She put her arms around them herself haha if they would hold still she'd just sit there and hold them LOL Lacie is on the left and Sadie on the right. Love our twinies! 

Alyssa and I got to sneek out for a girls day!!! We started it out with 90min pedicures that were amazing! It was so much fun! and then we went and ate at cafe rio and went shopping then came home and did some more crafting! 

our toes! Mine are extra sparkley and I love them! 

 While out shopping I bought Maylee and I matching shoes! I got both pairs for $20! haha score! 

What else have we been up too....

we got the trampoline put up! we had to buy a new mat cuz the last one was from when lee bought it at the age of 12 and was old and finally broke lol but this new mat was only 68 on amazon! way cheaper than a whole new tramp!

A few days after putting up the tramp Lee cam home with this basketball hoop he won! haha our grocery store has giveaways you can always enter your name in and that's how he won! haha The kids love it and Zeke (who isn't in the pic) is actually really good at making baskets! haha

31 week belly! 

BABY PURCHASES!!! 

The Big Brother and Big Sister shirts and the baby boy outfit we bought on Etsy! 

blue binkies and blue hospital hat that says Little Brother

And the Teal Blue swaddling blanket! 

The Big Brother and Big Sister shirts and baby girl going home outfit! 

pink binkies ( i got two diff kinds just in case baby likes one more than the other while in the hospital I'll eventually just stick with the NUK kind) 

Pink hospital hat! I have a pink swaddle blanket too that wasn't pictured cuz it's still in a tote in the basement.  I soooo cannot wait to see what we'll be getting!!! We're getting closer and closer! Can't wait! 

24 Weeks!

Here's the bump!!! :D we're chugging right along in this pregnancy! I had a Dr's Appt today and my blood pressure was nice and low everything looks good and I've only gained 5 lbs total this pregnancy which I think is awesome and 2 of those pounds I've gained since my last appointment so yay me! I've been working out this entire pregnancy and feeling good. I'm starting to get tired again but when I get a chance for a nice little nap that fixes that :D 

next dr's appt is the nasty glucose test. ugh but I'm determined to pass it the first time around this pregnancy! With Maylee I had to do the 3hr test and oh. my. barf! ugh it was terrible and I ended up being just fine. go figure. so this time fingers crossed the first time around I pass.

For the month of February our Library was doing a fun little adult reading drawing. If you checked out a book each week you got to put your name in for a prize and I won last week's drawing!!! I went to go pick it up today after my appt and when she brought these two huge bags out I thought she was going to ask me to pick one but they were BOTH for me! Our library is the coolest ever! 

Look how big they are! And the pink one was heavy! (water bottle was for size refrence haha)

In the Purple bag was this Cake Pop Maker!!! The kids are so excited to try it out and so am I! 

and in the pink bag....

                                   All these yummy cakes and frosting's and fun sprinkles!!! so awesome! 

it totally made my day going and picking this up! :D So much fun! I've been reading the Percy Jackson Series and just finished the last book last night! Now I'm onto finishing my culinary mystery series by Josi S. Kilpack I'm on book #9 it's called Baked Alaska! I love these books they have recipes in them too they're fun. The first book of the series is called Lemon Tart just in case you want to start reading them! :D 

First baby purchase!!!

I made my first baby purchase for this pregnancy!!! 

These super SOFT light weight swaddle blankies! I already have a pink one from Maylee that I will be packing in our hospital bag in case it's a girl but I love these two colors for a boy! I bought them off ebay :) 

I have our boy and girl coming home outfits picked out on Etsy I'm just waiting until it's a little closer to purchase them :) 

                           These cute little hospital hats to wear while we're at the hospital....

And THESE super cute outfits!!! I'm going to see if she can make the boy onesie say Littlest Brother instead of just little.....and this little Brand Sparkling New outfit was just too cute to pass up in case baby #5 is a girl! We're both thinking it's a boy but will be happy either way and can't wait to find out what our surprise is!!! 

I'll also be purchasing these Nuk newborn binkies for baby. They come in a two pack and the green will be perfect for a boy and pink for a girl! I'll probably be making some cute matching binky clips for each of their outfits as well. And Zeke has already helped me make a cute pink clear and white beaded bracelet for the baby girl outfit! 

June can't get here fast enough!!! 

20 weeks! HALFWAY!!!

                                          18 weeks............................................and 20 weeks!!!

                                                 I've grown a little between these two weeks. :)

So yesterday  (Wednesday the 27th) was our big ultrasound!!! We had Zeke Drake and Maylee all with us and they did so well the whole time we were there. The 20 week ultrasound is always my favorite! This time around we decided NOT to find out the sex! So far it's been more exciting not knowing and I keep going back and forth with my guesses haha after the ultrasound I'm leaning more towards boy though but I still change my mind a lot haha 

so here's pictures of our ultrasound pics! so much fun that we got a few 3D pics of little ones face!! So what do you think baby looks like boy or girl????

 So fun to get to see baby! Baby was nice and wiggly and moving around for us too! Our tech was awesome!!! She asked before we went in if we wanted to know the sex and we said no we want it to be a surprise and she did such a good job of not spoiling anything! she told us when to close our eyes and look away and I had to just cover my whole face so I absolutely would not peek but I did it and I'm so excited for the surprise of it all! She also said that she will be writing "secret" for baby's sex on my chart so that she's literally the only person that knows baby's sex and I won't see her again and she's probably forgotten by now with all the other ultrasounds she does in a day. :) So anyways it was lots of fun and Zeke could actually tell what some things were on the screen during the ultrasound! haha he identified the foot before the tech even said anything and he could see the baby's profile and tell it was the baby haha So we're excited for our little surprise coming in June!!! Halfway there! Can't hardly wait for the rest of it to fly by! 

17 Week bump and Christmas

Here's the bump at 17 weeks! I can't believe I'm already that far along! It's been flying by! I had my 17 week appt today and everything is looking great and baby's heartbeat is perfect :) I'm feeling good still need a nap somedays but not as horribly exhausted as before. I've been in nesting mode lately and have been decluttering and getting rid of STUFF! It feels soooo good I still have a lot more I want to do but I have to do a little here and there otherwise I'm wiped out by 5:00 and cranky! haha and no one likes a cranky mommy! 

I got a new phone and the camera suuucks but oh well next time maybe I'll use my camera haha

 my Ultrasound appointment is in 3 weeks! the 27th! So excited to see baby! We will NOT be finding out the gender and I'm just as excited to not find out as I usually am to find out! haha funny how that is. I really hope it doesn't get spoiled at our appointment cuz if I see anything I'll know haha hopefully the ultrasound tech will be extra careful not to get any potty shots if at all possible haha

This little Cutie kept posing for pictures for me on Sunday and saying Cheese! haha it was sooo cute how could I resist! After I'd take a few pics she'd come and run over to see them haha

Family Christmas pics!!! 

 Here's the whole family! We got to spend Christmas in Spokane this year! my sister Steph and her bf came up from oregon and my brother Marc and his family came over and we got a great pic! :)  

The grandkids! haha they were done taking pictures at this point haha

 Christmas eve in front of the tree! haha the best picture I got! I swear I had taken some on Lee's phone too but there were none on his phone...I'll have to have my dad text me the one's he took on his phone....maybe they were better lol 

                                                            Cousins!                                                             

                                                 Done playing in the snow for the day hahaha

 Maylee's 1st snowmobile ride. It was short...to the top of the driveway and back haha I don't think she like how loud it was lol 

 The boys on their ride with popa! He took them up and around and all over they had lots of fun! Until a tree dumped a bunch of snow down Drakes coat haha he did not like that and he was done! I don't blame him! haha

We had a really fun and relaxing Christmas break. Minus the puking flu we got! UGH!!! we arrived the evening of the 23rd and that night Lee and I both woke up puking and pooping!!! ugh! soooo not how we had planned to spend our time! Landon threw up too and we thought it was just food poisoning from something we had on the way up but then my dad got it on Christmas and then my sister on Saturday night and then my mom eventually got it too!!  I was so mad we had caught something and then passed it around! we never go anywhere so I don't know where we got it from but we were feeling perfectly fine before then. Anyways... we had a great Christmas played lots of games and put puzzles together got to do lots of shopping and eating food I didn't have to cook! And the kids were spoiled of course! :) Looking forward to the new year and making it even better than the last!
