Easter Weekend

I have not had much of anything to post lately so sorry about that. And sorry ahead of time for so many pictures on this post but we finally have new pictures. Of course last weekend was Easter and we stayed pretty busy. Thursday night my Grandpa and his wife Tana stopped by to give Henley a cute new dress. She immediately wanted to put it on and wore it Friday and Saturday, thanks Grandpa. That night we were going up to my parents for a little while and these first pictures I took right before we left. Mark was making fun of her outfit, dress, wings, crown, and boots with socks but I figured since we were just going up to see family it didn't really matter. Then she went out front with her shovel and her doggy Max and had some fun "digging".
Not sure what happened in this picture or why she was crying but I thought it was funny.




I went to Park City with my mom and sister on Friday night and we did a little shopping at the outlets. I go do all of Henley's shopping for the whole year down at the outlets and get some great deals. When I got home on Saturday we colored Easter eggs which Henley liked but she kept wanting to put the colored eggs in more and more colors so some of them turned out brown. Oh well she had fun.

She decided it was easier to use her hands.

Of course the Easter bunny found Henley and brought her some good things. She has the Candyland Castle game and loves it so for Easter she got the real Candyland game. Her and Mark played and she didn't understand how to play but one day she will. Also, the lamb was from Petsmart but she carried it around the store the last time we were there so the Easter bunny thought she must really want it. Daddy Easter bunny set up a fun egg hunt so when she woke up she got to have an Easter egg hunt to find her new things.

Easter morning right before we headed off to church. She loved her dress and insisted that it was Cinderella's dress, I'm not sure why. I actually bought this dress at Family Dollar last year but thought it would work for an Easter dress so I just saved it until now. She kept twirling around in it. She also loved her curly hair and new shoes. She told everyone at nursery about it.



After church we went up to my parents house, where Henley got a little surprise from Grandma, a little cupcake baking set to go in her D.I. Kitchen that we found awhile ago. She also got some books, a bunny purse and an Ariel doll from her other Grandma last week which she loves.

Aunt Kelsey and Grandma set up an Easter egg hunt for her.



And last but not least one of her new outfits from the outlet stores. I found this cute cherry shirt and I wanted to get her the cute green jacket but I decided on another jacket. However, my mom couldn't pass up the adorable green jacket in this picture and we are glad she wanted Henley to have it. Sorry for the long post.

Random Stuff and Baby Bump

Nothing much has been going on lately so here is some random pictures. The weather has been a little nicer after that last snow storm so we went to the park last week. I didn't get any good pictures but we had fun. The other ones of Henley are just funny ones that I decided to post.

She brought me the camera the other day and asked me to take a picture of her so she could look at it. So this is what we got, what a babe with those big eyes, gotta love her.

The other day this is where she decided to sit and have something to drink.

And finally, some baby bump pictures. I attempted to take these but the camera wouldn't zoom out far enough to get a good picture. I am about 6 months and I can promise you that I am bigger than these pics show. Maybe one day I will have Mark take a good picture or maybe not.

Snow Day

The other day I was thinking about how Henley hasn't really used her snow gear that she got this year and that we should have done more in the snow. However, I was very dissapointed to wake up to a foot of snow on Monday, I really don't like the snow. So we went out to shovel and Henley had a great time scooping up the snow with her "shovel" and eating it. The whole time I shoveled she sat on the porch eating snow. When I got done she decided to take a walk in the snow and even dug herself a little snow cave that she sat in. She had so much fun and I had to about drag her inside because her little face was bright red and freezing. Other than not much has been going on. The pregnancy is going pretty good other than sometimes I feel huge but that is normal. Mark has started selling this new water called ASEA, it helps the immune system and it is pretty amazing stuff. Hopefully, I will have more to post soon.

Ouch

When I was at work on Tuesday, one of the lady's that works in Kids Klub(daycare) came up to me and told me that her son had just bit Henley. She told me that it didn't break the skin and that Henley was ok but it did leave a pretty good bruise. She keeps telling people that the boy bit her cheek. Mark was not happy because he is worried that it ruined her face but I am sure it will go away. Anyway, these pictures were taken two days later and it looks a lot better than it did the first night. Also Henley is so close to being potty trained. She only has about one accident a day. Sometimes she would just rather play than go potty and there is nothing I can do about that. Anyway, I guess something is better than nothing. When I was doing this post she wanted a picture of her and daddy, so I put this one that Mark took of them on Sunday morning because I thought it was cute.

Four Years

I am a couple days late posting but we celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary on Wednesday (Feb. 18th). Sometimes I can't believe it has been 4 years and then sometimes I feel like it should be more than 4 years. Anyway, I am so glad to be celebrating four great years together and just wanted to let Mark know how much I love him. I think he is such a great dad and husband. On our anniversary I had to work and I thought Mark had a class but when I came home from work he had made us a great steak dinner. Him and Henley had gone to the store and got me a beautiful flower. Yesterday we were able to go out to a movie (Taken-which was very good), and go to dinner at Iggy's. It was nice to go on a date just the two of us and spend some time together. I think most of our wedding pictures were taken with film so the only digital ones I had were engagements and bridals so I posted a few of those. It's funny how different we both look. Happy Anniversary Mark, I love you.

What's new...

Well I feel like I haven't posted in a long time but we haven't been up to much. We had a good Valentine's Day. We all went to lunch at Quizno's, went to read to cats at the Humaine Society (Mark is doing service there for one of his classes, and Henley had so much fun), and then we just hung out. Also, Mark and Henley made a great breakfast that morning. It was great to spend the day together. Since our 4th anniversary is coming up we decided to wait until next weekend to go out instead of fighting the crowds on Valentine's Day. I am also planning on posting some belly pictures sometime but I am not too excited to show off my ever growing belly. We are officialy counting down to the baby now and it seems like it will be here really soon, yay. Henley had a play date with her friend Kendyl last week and they had a lot of fun. I didn't get a great picture but you get the idea. Also, Mark took this video last night. I was reading Henley some books before bed and she decided that she wanted to read them to me. So she grabbed one that she loves Sesame Street- I can do it myself (Me and Mark both had this book growing up) and started reading. It was so funny the first time she "read" each page exactly right, I guess she has heard it a lot plus the girl has an amazing memory. Then when Mark tried to get in on video she was kind of being silly as you can see and was more concerned with the camera.

It's a.....

It's a BABY! Well sorry to really dissapoint but we did not find out the sex of the baby. The good news is that it looked healthy and really that's all that matters. I decided that I don't know what I want yet and so I really didn't want to know yet. We haven't decided on any names and thinking about it this time gives me a headache. To be honest I would love another girl, cuz I really like the one I've got. A part of me wants a boy because I know I want at least one boy and then I would have one of each. I really don't know what to do with a boy cuz all I've had is a girl, so to be honest a boy scares me a little. I know it wouldn't if I had one but oh well. But as silly as it sounds I like just knowing that "the baby" is healthy and not knowing what is is. Here are the pictures maybe you can all guess what it is.
