Oh the things kids say!

So today I pulled into the gas station at Sam's Club and I get out to pump the gas. I open Kali's door to wipe her sticky ice cream hands off and she says "Mommy I have to go potty!" (For those of you that don't know, we are NOT potty training right now because of the whole new baby thing and we tried to start the potty training a few months ago in hopes that we would have success BEFORE this baby comes. Well, no such luck of course so we went back to diapers.) So I replied, "There is no potty at this gas station...just go in your diaper." She replied, "I just go pee on a tree." Now where do you think she got that one from?!!! I just died laughing!

Baby celebration!

Here they are! Prego pictures of the BIG Mamma in waiting!! These were taken at the baby shower open house that Kristin and my friend Heidi did for me. Look at all that YUMMY food!! Let's just say that's all we did that night...EAT! It was really fun and I got a lot of great gifts for this new baby girl! I'm really excited to have a summer baby. She is the opposite season as Kali and so it was great to get tons of new outfits and dresses and fun things for this little girl to wear. I am 38 weeks and more than ready to POP! I seriously would be so happy to have this baby tonight if I could. However, I do want to hold out until my mother gets here Saturday. I will definitely need her then!! I'll keep you posted on any news!

Big Sister...

Okay, so I just had to share these pictures and tell you about how much Kali is loving baby Madelyn these days. She is hugging baby Madelyn (my HUGE Belly) and listening to her in this picture. The other day she found some baby shoes in the dresser for Madelyn and brought them to me and said she wanted to put them on her. Then she brought me her own blankies and said she wanted to share them with baby Madelyn and tried to give them to her through my tummy. Yesterday, she found the baby bibs and was trying to put them on my tummy! The list goes on and on and Kali is pretty sure she knows there is a baby in that big round tummy of mine. I told her baby Madelyn loves how nice she is being and what a great big sister she is and she put her head/ear on my tummy to listen. I asked Kali what Madelyn was saying and she said "Ummmm....I'm a child of God"(since that is her faovrite song these days). And of course that just melted my heart! This is really going to be fun to have a new baby sister in the house. Hopefully Kali will still be as excited as she is now. So enjoy the fat pictures of me and my sweet daughter hugging on my enormous belly. :)

S'mores anyone?!!

We went up to Mark's parents house for Mother's Day weekend and stayed the night on Saturday. Grandpa had a great idea to have a fire and roast marshmellows with the kids. It was tons of fun!!









Sorry, I just had to post the one of my sexy husband!!

Special Mother's Brunch!

Zach was in a little program and brunch at his pre-school for all the mothers to come and enjoy the week of Mother's Day. It was so cute as they got up and sang songs and had a little brunch where the kids served us then gave us a little gift that they made all by themselves. Well, so during the program or songs, it was of course my son that was the silly show-off and got all the other kids all wound up and by the end of the first song they were all on the floor. Why couldn't my son be the quiet one who knows all the words and sits like a perfect little boy and does whatever the teacher says!!?!! Maybe because he's a normal 4 year old little boy who is just begging for attention! AHHH! Oh well, so I do have it on video and I'll try to get it on here another time. Anyways, it was all really sweet and I think Zach thought it was really special to have me there.

Pals!

So I just have to say how nice it is that Zach and Kali actually like to play with one another these days. Kali is getting older and talking more by the day and Zach is loving always having a little pal to boss around and play with. These are just a few pictures I've taken in the past couple weeks of them playing together and not fighting! Of course we still have our moments and Zach does like to tease his little sister like any big brother does. Kali is a fiesty one though...she is not afraid to fight back! :)
