LAUREL'S BABYSHOWER

Cami, Nora and I threw a babyshower for Laurel at my house...I had fun making little treats for our guests and decorating with PINK :)...can I just add that I am so excited that I am having another girl...boys are fun...but this will give me one last little girl to play dress up with!

We played this fun little game called "supermom"...where you had to hold a baby and a cell phone and then hang laundry on a clothesline...and see how many clothes you could hang up in 30 seconds...so here a few shots of us taking turns making fools of ourselves :)

The Guest of Honor...Laurel...she looks so cute Pregnant

This outfit is what I picked out for her new baby...I love this little mudpie brand...I think I need to get one for my baby too.

WHITNEY'S 12TH BIRTHDAY PARTY

We had a big barbeque birthday party for Whitney...including our family we had about 22 guests and nine of those were under the age of 7...It was pretty crazy, but fun!

Happy Birthday to my sweet Whitney...we are so proud of her!

Making her wish

Me and the birthday girl! I just love this girl...I can't believe she is 12

Daddy and his angel

And now it's time for a little Pregnant photoshoot...I was in a pretty goofy mood

Hopefully only 8 more weeks if my doctor will let me deliver at 38 weeks

SCHOOL PERFORMANCE AND FIELD TRIP DAY

Kaden's class performed a dance they created in Arts...it was really cute, it was all about the community and the different roles people play

The 1st graders at Kaden's school went on a field trip to a nursery...we visited the greenhouses (I need one now)...they showed the kids how they plant the seeds and how they transplant and all the different phases of the plants...I think the parents may have gotten more out of this than the kids
I loved the greenhouse with all the roses...it smelled so good

Kaden loved the flowers...he had me take pictures of about every flower we saw

Then on to the police station...the kids lined up to watch the K-9 officer show them how his dog tracks drugs down...it was the kids favorite thing of the day

The officer hid some Marijuana in one of the boxes and then let his dog go sniff it out

...And it didn't take him long to find it...very impressive

Oregon Coast Trip

So here are the rest of the pictures from our springbreak trip to the Oregon Coast! The kids and I drove up to Florence so we could go to the Sea Lion Caves...you have to go at least once in your life! It is amazing how big things look when you are a kid...I swear it was bigger than it is. Anyway it was fun to see the sea lions!

I love this picture of Alex...she is growing up so fast!

Whitney and Alex inside the cave, I think this was a look out to see the light house across the way!

Kaden, Alex and Whitney

We also headed over to Shore Acres in Charleston, it is one of my favorites...Beautiful gardens! Here is Alex in front of a water fountain...she was being really cooperative with me and the camera!

MOTHER'S DAY AND BAND CONCERT

Whitney is in band this year and is playing the drums and precussions...she really enjoys it and did a great job in her band concert!

I thought it would be fun to get some pictures of me and my kids on Mother's day...we got home from church and they changed into play clothes, I wish I would of been quicker and got them in their church clothes...but what are you going to do.

Here I am at 28 weeks...I'm getting a little nervous because my belly just keeps on growing!

EASTER WEEKEND

Sorry it has taken me forever to get pictures uploaded to my blog...I had some computer technical problems, I believe now are solved! Me and the kids went to Southern Oregon and the Coast for Easter and Springbreak. On our way there we picked up my little sister Kathryn from College. She was a good traveling companion, it is good to have additional adult help while traveling with 3 kids and a 6 month pregnant lady! We took three days to travel...I don't recommend that for anyone, unless your pregnant...my feet would be swollen after 7 hours...so we had to stop alot for potty breaks and stretching. Eventually we did get there! We had a really fun time Easter weekend...my sister Brittany and her family came to my moms. We had a great Easter dinner...way too much good food!

Easter morning the kids were hunting for easter eggs

Tori and Camille...Brittany's twins all ready for church

Lauren Taylor

We spent a few days in Grants Pass, sadly I didn't take any pictures while I was there. My kids went and stayed with Cousins and had a blast and then visited with Enoch's parents. I was enjoyed hanging out with my BFF Nancee kid free! We had fun! Then it was back to the Coastal area...

Facerock in Bandon...I know that this rock has shown up on my blog a few times, but it is one of my favorite beaches to play at! I love all the rocks and the water!

Mygirls and my sister Kathryn goofing around at the beach! It was pretty cold, but that didn't stop anyone from having a good time!
