April

Highlights from April include:  

Sydney starting soccer-  we went to Kneader's for their famous french toast breakfast after her first practice... it was my first time, and I loved it!  Such a fun morning!

We painted temple blocks for "girls night and one boy" during the priesthood session...

Busted out the kids' kites on a windy day.  It was way too cold for them to actually participate, so they huddled together in a blanket and watched dad fly their kites.

Reading...

Sleeping...

Our little rabbit eating lettuce... who likes lettuce without dressing or anything?

I hit 20 weeks in my pregnancy!

And just for fun, a side by side of baby #3 and Cooper... pretty similar I think.

And... we traded in my favorite car I've ever had...

For a mini van... which I love...

Baby preparations have begun!

Baby Sister!

Back in January, we were excited to find out we were expecting baby #3!  A few weeks later we got to see our little peanut...

And last week, we got to see HER again, and find out that she was indeed a girl!

The kids weren't able to go to the ultrasound, so we wanted to do something special to tell them.  They opened up a basket and PINK balloons floated out with the ultrasound pictures tied to them...

Sydney was so happy to have a sister!  Cooper was a little confused why it wasn't a brother, but he loves the idea of a baby, and all was good after about 5 minutes...

And aww!  We can't wait to welcome our baby sister to the world!

Due: September 11th.  She is my first child to be measuring exactly on time.  So I'm hoping she's a bit smaller than the other two, who always measured big!

March, According to my iPhone

Our everyday moments from March, captured by my iPhone of course:

Sydney decided to make "mail" for a bunch of different people.  She put letters in envelopes and "stamped" them with her Cinderella stamp.  This one says, "To Pomps Work" and has a picture of a horse.

Cooper's spotlight week in school.

Report Cards...

Sydney's favorite thing to do lately is text... all by herself!  She is getting so good at reading and "spelling" phonemically correct that is...

Sydney's spotlight week in preschool...

Her handwriting and pictures just melt my heart... I love them!

The baptism books I made for our 8 year olds... love how they turned out!

A day at the zoo with the Langs!

St Patricks Day scavenger hunt that the leprechaun left for us... treasure included: cars for Cooper, a sketchbook for Sydney, green milk, and Lucky Charms!

More hunting and green milk! Crazy leprechaun!

Just my little baker... I promised him he could help me make dinner if he would stay small.

My empty bottle of Aloe Vera lotion- day 5 of severe sunburn from our trip to Cali... remember to wear extra, extra, extra sunblock when pregnant!

Day 6 of severe sunburn... elevating my sunburned, swollen, legs because that's about all I could do... walking or standing was too painful #nofilter

My little artists!

Love that they cuddled while sleeping...

Sydney drew everyone in our family... she called them "drink holders" aka coasters.
