Look who's two!

Audrey Bear is 2! I cannot believe it! She is so sweet we all love her sooo much! We couldn't imagine our lives without her!
This car isn't a b-day gift it was Kate's but she actually took a good picture for me! very rare lately!
She is so lucky to have siblings who love her so much!
Presents!! we kept it simple this year! we kept it just our family, as it could be changing any time now with me a 4 cm dilated. Should be an interesting week.... We cannot wait to post some cousin pictures with Averi who is 2 wks younger than Audrey and Leyton who is almost 5! They come tomorrow, and I hope get a long!!! She will be here for when I have the baby! The best sister ever!! All the way from Washington, driving... I owe her big!!

a shower for baby!

My BF Heidi decided she needed to throw a shower for me, I told her to not worry about it but shes CRAZY! It turned out super cute! She even made Carraba's food, my favorite and made the baby a quilt. I love all my friends and family who came!

brave enough to post an 8 mo pregnant picture! Last time ever!! enjoy!
the cute invite! I love my super talented friends!
Sunday we celebrated May and June birthdays at Derek's sister Gina's! baby is even included!
Audrey got some gifts!

hopefully he comes out soon! I'm done!!!!!

Kates Kindergarten Graduation!

Today Kate became a first grader! Its summer break for her the boys have to wait a week! She loved her teacher and friends in her class! We are proud of her perfect report card and being a student of the month! She is right below the balloon bouquet...
Go Kate! The pictures we take at the school hardly ever turn out! it must be the lighting!
Kate had to officially say goodbye to her BEST FRIEND Maibel who moved 30 minutes away last week :(
Her "license" she calls it, such a cute job her teacher did on these diplomas!
Here is Kate in her Graduation present! Finally an Ariel wedding dress! She "dreamed" about it, she said!
Her dress and a cup Audrey chose for her at the Disney Store
As a side note, Derek completed the Costco swing set last Monday! He did this with the help from the kids, but mostly alone! I am so glad he is a Handy Man! i don't think he would do it again! just in time for baby! I am dialated 3 cm and anytime after this week I could have him! I had Evan 3 wks early and Audrey 2, so hopefully! I cried last night I was so tired and uncomfortable!

look who's on top of the swings! Bella's new favorite toy as well!
Our perfect cat!
Audrey does this when I try to take pictures of her!
This is her saying "Mommy stop, no no no!" she'll be 2 in 8 days!
now on to the garage....

A visit from Evie!

It was short, but Audrey was so happy to see her cousin Evie! She just turned one and stopped in twice this week! She looks just like my little brother, its so cute! My Mom was here all week it was a lot of fun! PS: We are trying to ditch Audrey's binkie, I don't know why its so hard with her!
My cute sister- in -law Natalie and Evie! Audrey got the car out yesterday and won't get out of it! She gets frustrated a lot though!
some of my Spring flowers...



yes she needs 3 times the sunscreen as the "normal" skin types! We can thank her Daddy for this gene! A couple more weeks until baby brother is here! Kates out of school on the 19th and the boys on the 26th! My sister gets here the 27th which is the same day as Audrey's second birthday and Derek's (a-hem) getting fixed surgery.... busy month!!

Springtime!

This May is super crazy! not to mention ending it all with a baby in a few weeks! Kate graduates from kindergarten next week! She is ready for 1st grade (all day) and so is Mom! She LOVES school! (PS we cut 4 inches off of her hair last week!)
My girls in some of the springtime flowers! I keep catching Audrey in a "mood" I think its just the terrible 2's!
Our last project before the baby, but its a big one! (for Derek) the Costco playground! he sure wishes his Dad were here and not in Laos for some help, he won't ask for it, so I guess that's what he gets! The kids and I pitched in our best! Even Audrey, I thought this was so cute!
I will post pics when done, it may be awhile...
a 3D picture of the baby! this was from March, they like them around 30 weeks, but he was measuring so much bigger (3 weeks..) he was shoved in there too tight for a better picture! plus he was face down and we could only get a profile shot! this was the best one, it was really cool I am glad I got to do it once!
Happy Spring!
