Maternity Photo Shoot

My sister and I wanted our sister, Amanda, to take pictures of us since we are both pregnant at the same time.  We had a trial photo shoot last weekend.  Amanda is an awesome photographer!  We went down the road from our parent's house to this old house and shed to take pictures.  It was a lot of fun and the pictures turned out so neat.  Plus Amanda does a great job of touching them up and adding all the special effects!

Recent Activities

The boys are keeping busy, starting baseball practice and finishing up another school year.  Only about 11 days left of school!

They both had friends over a few weeks ago and did some fishing.  The boys wanted to line them all up for a photo.

Hunter and his friend did a science project together.  They washed two stained shirts, one in Tide and the other in Xtra to see which detergent was better.  Tide won.

We attended my cousin's wedding.  Tessa, Amy and I are all pregnant and due about the same time!  Amanda is engaged to be married in June 2013 - Yeah!

Everyone enjoyed some dancing.

  Aunt Barb talked Beau into dancing with her (for $5!)

Hunter's baseball season has started.  He is playing on a traveling team for the next month and will start regular summer ball the first of June.  These pictures are from his first game, played in Salem, on a chilly, rainy Sunday afternoon.  Hunter had several good hits and pitched a good game too.  He is looking more and more grown up to me every day!

30 Weeks

I am now in my 30th week of pregnancy and feel like we are on the official countdown!  Baby is doing great.  He or she is measuring right on target and my weight gain is good.  I have been trying to watch what I eat and walk every day that I can.  It has been a blessing to have such warm weather this year!

Below is a new picture of Baby #3.  Baby's hand is covering face.  Quite a difference in the last picture we had 2 months ago.  Baby is very active and I love it!  What an amazing gift from God to feel your tiny baby moving around inside of you.  I have been feeling really good the last few months and hoping that continues.

30 weeks, 3rd trimester, Baby #3...lots of 3's right now!

Easter Sunday

Easter Sunday 2012

On our way to church for the Easter program and Sunday service.

The children did a great job with their Easter program. Hunter ended up with 2 speaking parts and Beau had a few lines of his own in the program.  Our service was great as always, very emotional and lots of wonderful music.

My handsome boys!

Hunter wanted to take our picture.  Baby #3 is growing!  :)

The Easter Bunny did leave a few things...

Easter in Kentucky

My sister, our 4 kids (and 2 baby #3's) and I headed south to visit our family in Kentucky on Friday morning.  We met our Dad there and had a nice visit with several cousins, aunts, uncles and grandparents.  It's never a small crowd when you visit Grandma L and Papa Stan's!

Beau loves to gather eggs when he is there.  Thanks to Aunt Cathy and Uncle Bill who supply us with at least 2 dozen fresh farm eggs every time we visit!

Beau is holding up a green egg for Pappy in this picture.  They taste the same as the brown eggs, but are green on the outside.

Pappy and his 4 grandchildren...soon to be 6!

Baby #3 Update

I am in my 27th week of pregnancy. WOW! This baby is going to be here before we know it. We don't know if baby is a boy or girl, but can't wait to meet the little one.   Everything is going really great.  I'm feeling good and baby moves a lot, which is always a great feeling to me.  Below are some pictures from my ultrasounds.

Baby is waving!  :)

My first 3D photo!  Baby's arm by face.

  

It's funny how you will hear comments about the sex of your unborn child.  I honestly do not care.  I just want a healthy baby!  God has blessed us with this miracle and we will love him or her no matter what!

Little Warrior Night and St. Patty's Day Run

The basketball games were fun to watch last Friday for Little Warrior Night.  Everyone played well.

Dad and his boys before the 5 mile run, St. Patty's Day, St. Louis.  They all did great!
