Pre-Baby Photo & Story Dump!

Mardi Gras

We went to a masquerade party with our Lawrence friends...

They weren't entirely impressed with our interpretation of "wear a mask"!

Michigan! 
Declan got to enjoy Cash's blue bath goo - Cash was too scared to get in.  It took us hours to drain the tub because the dissolving powder didn't really work.

Cash is getting so big!  He's super excited to meet his new cousin in August!

Molly and I right before we left Michigan :)

St. Patrick's Day 
Jen's first Irish Carbomb

Chug! Chug! Chug!

I took way too many pictures from the parade, it was pretty cool (but VERY long)

Har har har!

There goes Captain Morgan in his firetruck

My favorite float...

Rock Chalk!

I had my KU Pillow Pet in my folding chair, along with my phone and Three Spoons - parade essentials!

A trip to the zoo with all of my nephews and niece! 
Everyone checking out the polar bear

Hanging out with the giant polar bear

Ooooo, sea lions!

Enjoying the carousel

Andrew didn't actually want to ride on an animal, so we just got dizzy sitting on the bench.  

This snake could have eaten Andrew as a snack!

 Lazy monkeys!

Andrew was SO excited to hang out in the mud houses

On the sky ride he kept pointing and saying "Look, a bird!" "Look, a tree!" "Look, water!"

Andrew has ghost hands on the train!

March Madness 
Hanging out at Brian and Jen's house for the Final Four game - along with her sister and mom

This is how I roll at halftime!

We've been behind since the beginning of the game and now we're starting to get close, can we do it?

Yes we can!

On our way to Mass Street to celebrate KU making it to the championship game!

Mass. Street is flooded with fans!

I'm a bit of a local celebrity with my basketball belly - lots of people asked to take pictures

I started the trend of parking in the bank drive through - we were only 3 blocks from Mass. and the police were too busy to ticket for minor parking violations!

That's how March Madness rolls for this pregnant lady!

Booo, Kentucky beat us in the NCAA Championship game.  A bunch of drunk frat guys tried (and failed) to tear down the street sign at 14th and Kentucky.

Addy and Eric were pooped after the game!

 Gratuitous Cat Photo! 
Addy is soooo sleepy from watching me clean the house all day!

Baby will be here soon! 
Me showing off how nice it is to have a belly to hold my dinner!

Our bedroom is ready for baby - Boppy on the bedside table, changing pad/cloth diapers/wipes on my dresser and baby's bassinet are all set up in our room!

The pack 'n play and changing table are ready in the living room (with the swing folded up behind it), and the caterpillar toy is in the changing table to scare Addy from jumping into it!

Andrew's 2nd Birthday

Today was a trio of events - we went to church, back to Mom and Alan's house for Andrew's birthday party, and then back to church again for our final Financial Peace University class.  

I thought Grammy would have appreciated that the war in Iraq was finished on Grammy and Papa's anniversary.

We didn't have candles...so we put two matches in Andrew's cake.  Kris was an awesome Dad and spent the weekend teaching Andrew how to blow out his lighter so he would be able to do it by himself for his birthday cake - success!

Andrew making faces while awaiting his birthday cake!

"C'monnnnn, I'm two and I blew out my candles... cake, please?"

Om nommm

Mmmm, sugar!

Another Family Weekend!


Another picture post... because it is easier to caption photos than it is to tell a story!

Mom drove Andrew and i out to Topeka for breakfast with Kris, Ashley drove in from Hays and met us there.

Andrew enjoyed playing on the iPad on the way to Union Station, he covered it with finger prints.

Andrew LOVES trains, he was in heaven.


Ashley and I on the hand car.


Ashley and Andrew sword fighting, he was pretty good!


Uncle Eric watching TV with Andrew.


Sarah, Andrew, and me at the "Fire-Water" event on the plaza.


Mom, Alan, and Deb at Fire-Water.


Paul and Eric made it down to the creek after about an hour looking for a parking spot.

Andrew loves his strobe stick - and cried when I had to take it from him to fix the strap (so he wouldn't drop it in the creek).


The fire pits floating on Brush Creek.


Andrew was really intrigued by all of the people and the fire.


Not especially impressive, but pretty cool.


Andrew was SO sad about the sun coming in the window on the way to church.

Uncle Eric and Andrew with his "Sadie" balloon.


Andrew visiting Grammy's tree.

Phew, I'm glad our Squish is only the size of a peach right now!  Pumpkins are huge!

Just a priceless facial expression.

Andrew LOVED throwing the straw in the air.



Nana and her grandmonster.


Eric rode his bike to and from the pumpkin patch because we didn't have enough seats in the car for him.  He didn't mind.
