CATCHING UP!

Lakely had her last day at her old school at the end of October. The teachers arranged for a costume parade with a class party afterwards. It was absolutely adorable seeing all the little ones dressed up! Here are some pictures of my candy corn witch and her friends =)
















A couple of weeks ago I had my NT test/12 week ultrasound. The baby's measurements were normal and my blood work came back great! So thankful that is over and all is well! The pictures were in my purse a little longer than they should have been; sort of hard to see. (Hope the 3D pics this early doesn't scare you!)

DO YOU SEE WHAT I SEE?! ...hmmmmmm.

First Field Trip

Lakely's class went to the Clarke Farm Pumpkin Patch and the kids seemed to have a blast! They went on a hayride, picked their own pumpkin, slid down a dirt hill, petted some farm animals, and had a picnic! What a fun-filled morning!

There's a bun in the oven...

This is how I told Tony we were expecting. I had taken a home pregnancy test earlier that morning but he had already left for work. So when he was on his way home that evening I prepped for dinner. He came in and started playing with Lakely and I acted like I needed to go to the restroom and asked him to check the food in the oven (I watched from around the corner.) He opened it, yelled, "there's a bun in the oven!" and closed it. After he said it out loud, it registered, and he opened it again really quick and looked my direction. With a HUGE grin I looked at him and shook my head. He was elated and we hugged for what seemed hours =)

7 WEEKS 6 DAYS



Baby #2 is due May 9th! We couldn't be more thrilled, especially for Lakely. She is the most gentle, kind-hearted 2 yr. old born to be a nurturing big sister. (She's one of the only "big kids" at the gym that is allowed in the infant area to help with the babies =) We told her last week that I had a baby in my belly and she thought that was too funny! Now, when I put her to bed and we say her prayer, she rubs her belly too and says she has a baby. Gotta love it!

Vegas Baby!

We headed to Vegas last week for Tony's cousin, Matt's, wedding. Here are a few pics we took. I won't be elaborating on our trip...

Star Student

Miss Lakely is student of the week!! We're so happy for her, you can tell she feels special. One of her homework assignments was to decorate her outlined body with all the things that she loves. She helped pick out the pictures and I glued them on for her. It was so cute seeing her get overly excited about each little picture on the poster. (Please excuse the heinous looking face I drew on it!) I was able to get a few snapshots of her before school yesterday. I couldn't decide which one I like best, so I just posted them all!

Disney On Ice!

We took Lakely to the Dare to Dream show over the weekend. It was all about the different princesses and of course Mickey and Minnie, (her favorite), were there too! It was a 2 hour show and we made it through the entire thing! We even got there about 20 minutes early! I think this will certainly be a yearly event for us!
