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!

Day 281: A Sad Day for KU

Booooooo, we're out of the March Madness tournament :(  KU played VCU - we were ranked #1 and they were ranked #11...and they beat us by 10 points...  Definitely not a good game.

The day was highlighted by spending the afternoon with Andrew and Mom.  Andrew napped with us while we watched the game, and then we went out shopping and to lunch.  Overall, a successfully fun Sunday!

Chaos really likes the carseat.
Awe, Andrew napping with his Auntie Jess!

Win or lose, we'll still ... take a picture and go shopping?

Andrew REALLY liked these pomagranite and acai seeds covered in dark chocolate.  Really, really.

What a happy boy!  How did I miss getting a picture of Mom?  Oops, sorry!!!

Day 233: KU Flash Mob

Tonight KU played MU at Allen Fieldhouse and we won 103-86.  We've only lost one game this season, and it was following the tragedy of Thomas Robinson's mother passing away only 2 days before.  Unfortunately that broke the  home court winning streak, but KU had their hearts in another place.  I was listening to this game on the radio at home and Eric listened on the radio at work - we both heard the announcers talking about a flash mob.  We didn't know what they were talking about until later tonight when this video started making the rounds on Facebook.


Oh-wa oh!

Day 166: Happy Birthday to Me?

Today I got an email from Old Chicago saying I've got a free birthday pizza on my World Beer Tour card, hooray!  I sent messages to Eric, Kristie, and Alison and we made it a date!  Everyone met up at the Olathe OC just in time for the KU Basketball game.  
Dinner was delicious and the conversation was good!  We were mostly entertained by Zach aspiring to be a photographer like Rob...though he needs to work on his composure...

Oh yea, the KU game was close...far too close...we almost went into OT and it was madness!

Despite the thumb in the way and neither of us being ready, he was pretty good at self portraits!

He's getting so big, what a goof ball!


I was instructing Zach to point the camera "over there!"

Boys...Eric and Ryan are turds!

Zach took this one of Kristie and Ali, I like how it looks like Kristie's head is on the straw.

Here's a good self portrait!

Awarded "Creepiest Picture of the Night"...this is Zach's eyeball.
