A DAY AT THE FARM!
While I have three sleeping kiddos upstairs, laundry in the wash, DVR program playing...I thought I would fill you in on our most recent adventure. We went to a farm with my MOPS group, about 40 minutes east of our house. This was a REAL farm. At first I keep worrying about Hannah getting dirty and then I realized we would just have to wash and disinfect later. Hannah had such a great time! She loved every animal, every moment, and I managed to catch some of it on film.

Easter, Baby and More (long catch-up)
Here are some quick snapshots of our life lately and a few funny stories-
Aunt Blaire came to visit and we went to the 100+ year old Hammonds Candy factory, the zoo and the aquarium! We had a great time with Aunt blaire visiting! Hannah had a hard time saying "Aunt Blaire" and it came out like "Ah Bah".
Lately Hannah likes to ask for something and then change her mind and go back and forth many times without ever making a decision. I was told by a friend this great motto "You get what you get and you don't throw a fit." So we've been saying this for about a week now. Today she asked for applesauce, then yogurt, then applesauce then yogurt. I told her to pick one and thats what it would be. She said "yogurt" so before she could say anything else I scooped yogurt into a bowl. She started to fuss and say "applesauce" and then stopped herself and said "get get, no fit"! I can't believe she had gotten our lesson! I was so proud of her. She promptly ate her yogurt with no more fuss.
She is also in a fun play stage right now where she loves to "rough house" with daddy, here's a video...
Hannah loves to "see" the baby and talk to my belly. She tells the baby "I Hannah, I two, I big sister". She shows the baby how to brush her teeth, how to eat food, etc. She talks about how she will hold the baby and help mommy with the baby. I know she really has no idea how much this baby will change her life but as much as she is capable, she is excited about this baby's arrival. I'm excited too!
Hannah had her first haircut! I just wanted to shape it all up though I really don't know that you could tell any difference. We cut off maybe a 1/2" to 1" of her little curls. She loved the haircut! The place was great. They had child sized chairs with seat belts and a movie of dogs playing. After the cut was done they put in pigtails and glitter and gave her a star stamp on her cheek. She then got to walk the runway and see herself in the mirror and on the tv screen. She loved the day!
We went to Houston a few weeks ago, to see PawPaw, GaGa and Aunt Ashley along with some other family and friends. We got to take Hannah to galveston and the beach. She loved the waves and water! But she also got sick while on this trip and took a random nap in GaGas arms! Very sweet moment. But poor sick girl...
For Easter we did a lot of traditional things. Poni was able to have a 24 hour layover in Denver the day before easter so she got to be there for Hannah's first easter egg hunt and to dye eggs with her. At the easter egg hunt they had little bunnies for her to hold and pet. She loved it!! She also loved the bounce house they had. The easter egg hunt was a little confusing for her but she still did good. I don't think she knew there was candy inside the eggs so she wasn't too interested in picking them up. Once we told her there were eggs inside, she wanted to stop and open them but there were so many kids running around, I had to encourage her to just get the eggs and go-we would look later. Then on Easter morning we talked to her about what easter was about (as we had been doing all week leading up to Easter). We reminded her about how Jesus came to save us by dying for us. Then three days later the tomb was empty and Jesus rose. We then told her that we had hidden an easter basket for her in the house-she loved looking for it then finding it!
Here is a pic of me at 20 weeks pregnant and then again on Easter at 22 weeks pregnant with our little boy.

There's many more stories I could share but I think I've probably maxed out my (and your) time!

We had our 20 week ultrasound...
Ladies and Gentlemen!
We had our 20 week ultrasound this morning! We are having a beautiful baby boy! Very excited for this new and different adventure for our little family. We got to see a lot of good views of baby this morning, including one where his hand was moving up by his face, as if waving to us. Beautiful! It made my heart happy to see a healthy baby swimming around in there. We will meet you in about 4-4.5 more months!

Its been forever!
Sorry it has been so long since I posted. I got a lovely text from my sister-in-law saying that she missed my posts. I have been exhausted/busy/forgetful and have neglected my blog.
Incase you haven't heard, I am pregnant with baby #2! Here's a really recent picture of me at 16 weeks. We are due Aug 11th and will find out (hopefully) on March 21st if we are having a Jesse Jr or Hunter Jr.

Hannah is very excited about the baby. She talks to my belly in a very high pitched squeaky voice and wants to name it "Apple Pear Mama". We are practicing taking care of her baby dolls in preparation for this baby.
Also, since I am way behind on posting about Hannahs bday party back in January, here is a quick link to a slideshow that my mother in law shared with me from the pics on her camera. Enjoy! Hope to be back soon with more news and stories.

Christmas Time!
Hello All,
Here are some quick pics of our christmas and surrounding visit with Mom and Craig. We had a huge snow storm and mom and Jesse shoveled our drive way and front walk. Mom enjoyed the calorie burn so much she shoveled the walk multiple times and Jesse shoveled the shaded snow out of the back yard. We've had some pretty warm days, reaching almost 60 but it still hasn't all melted b/c there was so much snow. But enjoy the pics!
Hope everyone had a great Christmas and a Happy New Year!!
