Disneyland

For Colin's spring break we took the boys to Disneyland! We were so excited that my sisters, Parents and the Herbert's wanted to come too! Lucky us because we probably couldn't have done two days of Disneyland without our whole group of helpers and entertainers. The boys had the BEST time at Disneyland and especially LOVED spending so much time with Harlow!

Here is a slideshow of our fun trip!

Easter Fun

Easter weekend was the start of a very long week of sick kids but we managed to get in some Easter fun before the boys got too miserable.

Dying eggs

Colin and Parker left out some carrots for the Easter Bunny and he left them a little note with their baskets!

I think the egg hunt was Colin and Parker's favorite! They wanted to do it over and over!

Saturday we had a big Reay Easter. It was so fun to have all the great grandkids there! I can't believe at the end of this year there will be TEN little kids! So fun to see them all running around having fun. They are all so cute!

Happy Easter!

Parker Charles

My sweet little baby is a year and a half! Parker still has a very calm and easy going personality but we are definitely starting to get a glimpse of the terrible twos. He tells me no A LOT and likes to insist on doing things himself. He likes to copy his big brother when makes funny faces or silly noises but Parker is very independent. While Colin is off sword fighting and kicking balls, Parker is usually tinkering with something. He loves to take stuff apart and put it back together or try and stack toys up or fit things in little holes. Engineer maybe? He also a loves books and being read to. He loves any kind of music and loves to dance! It is so fun to watch him moving and "snapping" along to the beat with a huge grin on his face.

Parker is talking a bunch and repeats everything! Whenever I ask who is ready for a bath or who wants a snack, Parker is always first to say "Meeeeeeee"! He is still my great sleeper. Thank goodness because I am not quite ready for him to give up his two naps yet :). He is also a really good eater. He is always hungry. Even if he just ate, he wants a snack. Or if you are eating something, you better plan on sharing! He loves juice, apples and carrots. He is really good at feeding himself with a spoon or fork. He has even been eating cereal and yogurt all by himself!

I can't wait to see how Parker is as a big brother. He loves babies and is so sweet with them so hopefully he will be the same way with his baby sister :). Only six more months and this boy will be TWO! I can't believe it!

THINK PINK

I am having a GIRL!!!!!

We are all so excited and can't wait to meet our little princess!

It is definitely time to have some pink in this house!

Bring on the bows, ruffles, tea parities and ballet lessons!

Best of all she is healthy! Her kicks are getting stronger every day.

I love that I can finally feel her moving in my belly :) It's the best feeling ever!

These are the pictures from my sonogram on Monday. She was moving around all over the place and most of the time she had both of her hands up by her mouth. So cute. It was great that the boys were there to see it too. They loved being able to see their little sister!

I am 20 weeks today...half way there!

I FINALLY started to feel better at about 18 1/2 weeks. I still have sick days and I am tired A LOT but I am definitely getting my appetite back. Hopefully I am starting to gain back the 10 pounds I lost being so sick! This baby girl is already giving me a hard time but I know it will all be worth it!
