Coming soon...

13 weeks down + 166 heartbeats per second + October 23, 2012 = Baby #3!

Yeah! We are expecting! Unfortunately, we did not get an ultrasound yet, but not long until we do and find out the gender! I did get to hear the babies heartbeat and that was comforting for now. I would have loved to see the little peanut. We'll keep you posted!

Easter weekend

This Easter was extra special as our girls are getting older and truly understanding the meaning of Easter. Keira loves to watch videos online of Christ's sacrifice and then will share them with Lexi. It is so heartwarming. I'm grateful that we can instill this in them so early because it's so important to know.

To add to the celebration, we participated in other traditional Easter festivities. Our HOA put on a big easter egg hunt for the residents so we just drove right over to the next neighborhood to fill our baskets with goodies.

Lexi was quite meticulous about which ones to take.

Counting eggs and checking out our loot

Finale! Easter cookies! Yum!
Our Easter princesses all dolled up for church...and I mean princesses. All they wanted to do was twirl in these precious dresses.

We finished with dying easter eggs.

It was a simple, relaxing, and very enjoyable Easter. Oh and the girls did get a visit from the Easter bunny...we just took video instead of photo. My bad...is it cliche to blame the pregnant brain?

Are you ready for this?

Time to play catch up! I hope you're ready! There isn't really much I have documented in any shape or form in the last 2 months, but here are some things we've been busy doing...

Back in February, we FINALLY made it to the Children's Gateway Museum for the first time. I found half off admission so I was completely stoked! We invited Gramma Judy since whenever she visits, she just helps me around the house and we rarely have fun :) Time for some fun, don't you think?!!

This "exhibit" was all about balls. The balls went through tubes, blew upward in air pipes, went bouncing on pegs...you name it. It was so fun to see how much they were mesmerized by it all. I had to remind them that there is A LOT to see. This was our first stop and they didn't want to go :)


Another wind tunnel, but with paper. Lexi thought it was hilarious!
Keira loves to figure out puzzles

Lexi loved playing in the water (of course!)

Keira did some grocery shopping......then helped me check out with mine :)
Kids Safety Fair - we heard about this through some friends and what drew us to it was the face painting! Ha ha. They said it was all free so we thought why not? So we show up and it was a blast! The kids got to walk through a bus, an ambulance, and a fire truck. They got to ride in police cars and on motorcycles. Their favorites were all the coloring books they got, free bicycle helmets, face painting, and yummy candy wherever we went :) We are definitely going back next year!


When we arrived home, they asked to wear their helmets. Then we happened to catch an episode of Wipe Out and they kept telling us they wanted to go swimming with their helmets! Makes me laugh even now :)

Just a few random moments over the last couple of months as well...

At Gramma Judy's while Daddy and Uncle Dallin went snowboarding. Keira told Gramma she wants to be like Mommy and play the piano. Warms my heart...Lexi showing us she can fit inside the laundry basket...and giggling her head off!
Lexi playing in the rain at Gramma's house in her "married" dress
Dinner with Rachel and Joey before seeing Hunger Games...we had Thai food and wanted to divide up what was left so these were all the containers we walked out with. Me likey!
It's not over yet. More to come soon...
