Easter

So the Saturday before Easter we took Henry to a big Easter Egg Hunt. It only last about 5 minutes but that was the perfect amount of time for Henry. He got just the right amount of candy and we all had a great time! Enjoy the pictures!

Dad laying out the game plan :)

And the hunt begins!

Going through the goods!

Henry got this suit for Christmas from Grandma Carol  but it was too big. So I have been saving it for Easter. Doesn't he just look adorable! 

What a little stud!

The real reason for Easter!

Update on contractions

I went to the doctor yesterday and he said not to worry about the contractions since they stopped. He also gave me instructions on what to do if they start again. Thank you all for your prayers and fasting! We love you all!

And the baby is...

A GIRL!!!!

My Heavenly Father Loves Me!!!

On Friday I had 3 contractions in 15-20 minutes. So it has had us pretty worried. I called the doctor on-call and he told me it was impossible for me to be having contractions this early in my pregnancy and that they were braxton hicks. But since I know my body and have gone through this before I know that they were contractions. Since that doctor was not helpful Mackay and I decided to make me take it easy over the weekend until I can call Dr. Y and see what he thinks. With that as a background I have been thinking about different things Dr. Y might prescribe one of which is bed rest for the remainder of my pregnancy. I have been thinking through how that would work and one of my concerns was watching the M twins. I know that Heavenly Father knows me and what is going on in my life and it was confirmed to me again today. I got a text from the twin's mom this afternoon informing me that her visiting teacher has offered to watch the twins for the remainder of the semester at her house so it works better for her. I know that this was a tender mercy of my Heavenly Father. He knew my worries and took care of this one even before I asked Him to.

Another attempt!

Seeing as how it has been  month since my last post, in which I stated I was back to blogging, I figured I should give it another try and see if this time I can get on here a little more often :)

I don't know about the rest of you but we have had the most bizarre winter. We have only had a few snow storms which is weird enough by itself. But to go along with that we have had weeks of beautiful park weather. I have posted a few pictures and videos to update you all on our happenings during this bizarre, yet wonderful winter.

First off is the snow. We had a pretty good snow storm last month that left a good 3-4 inches. I know that doesn't sound like much but it is the most we have gotten and it was enough to go sledding. Mackay chose to take the day off and make it a family day! We went sledding, played in the snow, and had a wonderful time together!

All bundled up for our snow day :)

My two boys heading home after a fun day in the snow :)

Henry has recently discovered the joy of jumping on beds. Since he loves it so much I have started letting him jump in his bed. (Since he can't fall off!) He now comes running to me just begging to be put in his bed :) Oh he is so much fun! Here is a clip of him jumping!

Lately, I think it is the pregnant brain, I have had a few kitchen blunders. Enjoy :)

Split Pea Soup burned right to the bottom of my pot.

I guess I forgot to screw the lid on the ranch bottle...

This has been one of our funnest activities so far this "winter". Our complex had a barbecue just for fun. Here are some pictures of our fun.

All the little munchkins!

Bewildered from the picture taking.

My little cutie!

You may recognize this picture from an earlier post except it was Henry and me. Well Mackay had to resort to the same tactic to get Henry's shoes on the other day :) Boy am I glad parents are bigger than their kids at least for a little while!

This is kind of long but totally worth it!
