Easter Festivities Part 3

Lots of family came over and we enjoyed a delicious meal. The kids had a great time. They enjoyed an easter egg hunt and playing in the barn. I had a few more pictures to add but the computer is acting up and I wanted to post this before tomorrow. It is the big day. I went to Dr. McDonald and I am still steadily progressing. I was 3 cm dialted already. We decided to set Thurday as the induction day. It has been making Brian nervous that he is an hour away. This way he knows he'll be there on time. :) So tomorrow we will go from a family of 3 to our complete family of 4. I'm experiencing so many emotions!!! We can't wait to meet baby Trace. Stay tuned for pics!

Easter Festivities Part 2

The Easter Bunny came to our house (AND Nana's house) and we went to church with Nana, Grand Bob, and Aunt Katie.

Easter Festivities Part 1

Travis and I met up with my cousin Mandi and her daughter Samantha to particiapte in an Easter Egg hunt at Enchanted Gardens, where our Aunt works. Travis had a great time walking around the place, looking at the ponds and was glad to take a picture with the Easter Bunny. As far as the egg hunt, he could've passed on it and been just fine.

Round 2

My great team and former school nurse held a shower for Trace and I. It was very nice and I think everyone had a nice time. The cake was delicious (and VERY cute.) Trace got alot of nice, new things too. It is so nice that we have mostly everything we need. Here are some pictures that Merideth took.

Diaper cake made by Amanda, Bonnie and Tango.

The great hosts and I. THANK YOU Ladies!!!

Jennifer's daughter, Madi. She is too cute!

The cake was SOOOO good. I would walk by the kitchen and Brian and Travis would be eating it straight out of the box. Those are my boys..... Soon I'll have Brian AND TnT. :)

THANKS AGAIN LADIES!! We are blessed to be so loved!

Spring Break

Here were some of our relaxing Spring Break activities:

Crawfish boil at Brian's friend's house. Travis really liked the boiled shrimp and "mud bugs." He also had fun playing with the dogs and killing the big mosquitoes.

Brian worked on the dresser and Travis was practicing his writing. He can already write mom!! Here he came and knocked on the door to show me. :) He's so smart! Daddy taught him that a few weeks ago.

Visiting Dad at work. They have been trying to plant, but the rain is really slowing them down. As always, Travis loves being around the "big green tractors." We'll be visiting Dad alot this summer when I have two kiddos and need to get out of the house.

Worked in Trace's room, organizing all the great gifts we got at the shower this past Sunday. Travis made "snow" with the packaging from the Willow Tree angel I got. He also liked testing out Trace's crib.

Mailed out Travis' birthday party invitations. His party is getting close and we went out to buy everything (almost everything) we need for his party since I had time in case I was too tired as the weeks go on or if I was to deliver early.

I did ALOT of nesting this week since I am almost 36 weeks. I had Travis at 38 weeks!!!

Showered with Love

My mother and sister-in-law hosted a baby shower for Trace and I. The food and cake was delicious. It was very nice and we got alot of great things for Trace. He doesn't really need much, but it was nice to get some new clothes and toys for him. We feel so loved! :)

Finished Dresser!

Daddy's fine craftmanship:

Brian finished the dresser and it looks GREAT! He did a really good job and it is so much more special since he made it. It looks perfect in the room and will hold alot of baby clothes! I am glad that he decided on making it because it is so much more meaningful. Good Job Honey!!!
