This and That

What a weekend!!! Mimi and Pepaw were in town for the Gregg wedding...such a beautiful ceremony and reception. Wish I had taken more pictures. Ethan's buddy, Jaxon, was there and those 2 had a UFC match during the reception. It was hilarious! Food was yummy, punch was amazing, cake was awesome...it was a great day! Here are some pics...

And here is Ethan on Easter Sunday (before church) seeing what the Easter bunny brought him. Oh the hair.

This week is jam packed. I really didn't realize I had scheduled so much in one week. Hopefully I won't go insane trying to get it all finished. Ethan has an eye doctor appointment...his first...so we'll see how that goes. I have an OB appointment and I'm dreading weighing since I ate way too much this weekend and last. And we're going to try to make it to the zoo at least once. Today we're concentrating on grandparent detox. So far, so good. Movie time Monday is a lifesaver! Well I'm off to get a few things done. Have a great Monday!

Crazy

We have been super busy this last month or so hence the lack of posting. This weekend it continues with family coming into town...MiMi and Pepaw...for a wedding. Life is busy and I have a feeling it won't ever slow down which is fine with me. I like being busy...it's never boring.

Suzanne and I celebrating her birthday (last month) at Flat Tire Burgers...yum-O!

Zann and I at Suzanne's surprise birthday party. Rare picture of Zann acting normal.

This past Saturday was Ethan's good friend Jaxon's birthday and we celebrated with him at the park. The boys were too busy playing to eat lunch or cake. And Ethan was so exhausted when we got home that he slept for almost 4 hours!!!

Thanks to Suzanne for the pictures.

In baby news, I've popped! I woke up one day last week and suddenly had a belly. I feel great though! We had our ultrasound at the end of March and everything looks good. I've felt the baby since about week 16 and he/she moves constantly. Every time Ethan is in my lap, the baby goes crazy! It's so funny. He's going to be such a good big brother. Well my to do list is calling to me. #1 priority today is the post office...along with hundreds of other Americans. Don't you just love it when your accountant slacks off and doesn't get your taxes to you til April 14?!? Seriously. You're Fired! #2 is going to the mall with my sister. Super excited about that! #3 is a mani/pedi but that's going to have to wait til another day. And the list goes on...

Outdoor Fun

Last Saturday, we decided to get outside and do something fun. Yes it was a little chilly and windy but we didn't mind. We headed to our favorite Saturday morning breakfast joint, Chick-fil-A, to pick up some yummy chicken biscuits and then made our way to the park. We walked a little (until it was just too windy) and ate at a picnic table before playing. It was a nice family outing and we need to do it more often! Maybe once the weather stays consistent...

I usually watch the Today Show each morning for a little while before ET wakes up. Last week I got sick of hearing about what Michelle O. was wearing, going to wear, going to do or whatever so I switched it over to Rise and Shine OK. I had never seen this show before so didn't really know what to expect. It's decent if you can stand David Payne that early. Anyway...I have a point...they were talking about squeeze cheese and being the pregnant girl that I am, I started craving it. I picked some up on my next trip to Target. Well Zann saw it in the pantry and asked, "What is this stuff?" I said, "You've never had squeeze cheese?!?" He had NEVER had squeeze cheese! My grandma Norma always had it at her house when we visited! So he tried some...

He let Ethan try some...

He loved it!

He wanted more!

Squeeze cheese is a hit!

Ethan is peacefully napping (I hope) and I have some work to get done. Hope everyone gets a chance to enjoy this beautiful weather today!

Sunday

Sunday on the way home from church...

"Deep and wide, deep and wide. There's a fountain flowing in the sky."

Ethan proceeded to sing this song all day Sunday...over and over. Too cute. Who cares if it's the wrong words. It melts my heart.

I'm Back

I took a deep breath and plugged the external hard drive into the dinosaur desktop...our pictures and videos are still there! I had this nauseous feeling that they had been erased when our laptop crashed. Thankfully, this was not the case. The EHD will be unplugged when not in use from now on to avoid more nauseous feelings.

Alot has happened in the last month. I do have a few new pictures that I'd like to share...

Ethan loves to build things. He'll build towers just to knock them over.

Zann's parents came for Jen's baby shower over Spring Break. Mike spoiled Molly by playing fetch with her the entire time. He'd throw the ball under the TV stand and she'd throw her whole body under there to get the ball. It was really funny in person.

We attended the Thunder/Bulls game last week and all coordinated our outfits (on accident). Not pictured is Zann in a light blue polo.

Zann gave Ethan a ninja tattoo the other night. I can't believe he actually drew on his legs with a pen! Ethan loved it.

Here's Ethan showing me where his tattoos are.

Just a typical night in our house. Ethan and Molly goofing off and Zann catching up on the mounds of articles he 'needs' to read.

Such a silly boy!

We go for our big ultrasound on Friday. I'm super excited to see the baby again. I hope to have more pictures to share. Hope everyone has an awesome week! Don't forget to prepare for the HUGE winter storm coming our way on Saturday. Seriously?!?

Sad Day

So remember back in September when we thought our hard drive crashed but it was really just a bad battery? Well...Saturday morning when I went to check email and blogs, I find the blue screen of death on the laptop. Thankfully my dad was coming that day (he's a computer guy) and I thought maybe he could fix the problem. After messing with the laptop for a few minutes, he determines the hard drive is unresponsive and packs up lappie to take with him. Maybe just maybe he could recover a few files. Email from dad today stated that no data could be recovered! I'm just thankful I backed up ALL of our pictures, videos and music. And I'm also thankful I have Zann who convinced me we should hang on to our dinosaur desktop computer b/c who knows when we may need it. I hooked it up and it's running just fine so at least I have internet. Really...who can live w/out internet? I sure can't. Now I have to figure out what files I had on the laptop so I can recreate them. Technology sure stinks sometimes!

All About Dad

Clearly Ethan has been spending way too much time with dad lately...

For those wondering, this is actually how he says Beverly Hills Chihuahua...in all seriousness.

And this one I'm pretty sure he had some help coming up with the answer. Not from me so that only leaves one guilty party...Zann. Lately, Ethan has been a daddy's boy. He asks about his dad constantly when he's not here and most of the time he wants nothing to do with me. I'm ok with this for now. Dad is a much better ninja turtle than I will ever be! In fact, Ethan thinks he is actually a ninja turtle. He is Raphael, Zann is Donatello and I'm master Splinter, the rat or Shredder.

The infamous evil eye. I thought he had forgotten about his...apparently not.

These videos and pictures were taken before bath time a few nights ago. Zann was busy hanging new shelves in Ethan's room while I documented his new talents. He's such a goofy boy. I have a feeling he's going to be just like his dad.
