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!

Labor Day Weekend

Life has been crazy busy lately, and this weekend was no different!  On Saturday I went to the zoo with Mom, Ashley, and Andrew.  Andrew was a little bit of a grouch, but we still had a good time and did a lot of walking!  When we got home, I napped until Eric got home.  I was supposed to pick him up, but I accidentally slept through my alarm.  Alan and Ashley rescued him, phew!  Then we had some KFC for dinner and I went right back to sleep!

On Sunday we did church and waited around for the Dave Ramsey preview class - but nobody showed up again!  So we hung around with Mom, Kris, and Andrew for awhile before going to Steven's house for the night.  I did a lot of napping while the boys shot airsoft guns and played with swords.  At the end of the night, I watched some Food Network and passed out.  

On Monday, Eric and I spent the entire day driving Andrew back to Wichita.  It was the worst drive I've had in a long long time.  I was so lucky to have such a wonderful husband who was able to drive the entire way.  

We had this ginormous praying mantis take up residence on our stairwell.

Andrew is interested in how a car works.

Eric is teaching Andrew how to turn on the wiper blades. 

Sleepy boy refused to eat or set down his chip before passing out. 

On our way home, through Lawrence, Eric was thrilled to be part of a Viper sandwich! 

There's the second bread, and Eric is the peanut butter and jelly!

Taking the Kids to the Zoo

Jen and I brought Cameron, Caleb, and Colin to the zoo today!  It wasn't too hot and the kids didn't get grouchy until the end of the day.  We had a really good time and the animals were really active.  I hadn't seen the orangutans out playing all summer, and Cameron really liked finding the stuff people had lost on the sky ride... including a backpack.
