May happenings

Sadie had a preschool field trip on Trax last week. The kids had a blast riding the train. Who would have thought.

The other day I went to tuck Carson in before I went to bed. This is what I found. He had so many friends in bed with him he barely had any room to sleep.

And the wee one is not so wee anymore. She is getting close to 10 lbs. and has some serious chub to kiss. Love it. Love that she's gone from 6th percentile to 33rd percentile. LOVE this outfit my mom bought her when I found out I was having a girl. Love Gracie!

Random things

I love these jammies. They are newborn size and they barely fit her anymore, but they're my favorite.

Nate's dad was so sweet with Gracie the other day. I love when she sleeps all snuggled up like this on my chest.

Am I the only mom who loves to take pictures of their babies crying? I think it's so cute, but don't worry I didn't hurt her to make her cry. I just grabbed the camera and took a picture before calming her down.

This is actually from St. Patrick's Day and I forgot to post it. I was walking into my Dr.'s office and looked down and realized I had put on a brown and a black shoe. It's my fault for buying the same shoe in 2 different colors and puting them on in a dark room, but at least I gave the girls in my Dr's office a good laugh. Here's the view from up above, belly and all.

Pictures

My friend Brooke took some pictures of the kids last week. She did a great job, I love how they turned out! I'm so happy I got some good pictures of Gracie when she's so little, they grow way too fast & it's easy to miss it.

Easter

We had a fun Easter weekend, I love Easter! And this year it was extra special with a brand new baby and my mom in town. My mom has been here for the last 10 days, and I have to say I shed some tears as I dropped her off at the airport today. It has been fun having her here, not to mention how much she's helped me out with 3 kids. Tomorrow might be a shock.

An Easter egg hunt at Grandma & Grandpa Milne's house.

And how can I not be totally in love with this new little one?

Gracie is here!

We are excited to announce the arrival of our sweet baby girl, Gracie Lynn. She arrived in the world on 3:13 p.m. Monday, April 6th. Everything went great with the delivery, I got the epidural right in the knick of time at 2:30, thank goodness! Weighing in at 6 lbs. 1 oz. and measuring 18 inches long, she's a little one. And she has tons of dark, straight hair, more than even Sadie had, which is so fun. We feel blessed to have this new little one in our family!

Sadie's birthday party

Sadie turned 5 on Sunday, so we celebrated with a little party on Saturday with her friends. She wanted an Easter party, which made it super easy to come up with crafts and ideas. Here's a few pictures of the wild party. I still can't believe she's 5 years old!!!

A Vegas Wedding

We took the whole fam to Vegas this last weekend for my best friend Jenn's wedding. Nate's sisters, Chantell & Chelsie, came along for the trip, which was so fun plus they helped with the kids a ton. The kids had tons of fun in between wedding stuff going to cool parks and the M&M store. It was so nice getting away from the cold for a couple of days, 70 degrees is perfect for me! Jenn's wedding was fabulous. After the sealing at the temple (beautiful of course), she had the ring ceremony/ reception at the church, but HOLY COW I have never seen a gym be transformed like this. The kids and I got to walk down the aisle together, which was fun.

And yes, you can see from the pictures I am definitely looking pregnant! With 3 weeks to go, the final countdown begins :)
