I love this little boy!


And ps. people always ask me if he looks like Kayla did so I pulled a photo of her:

(I sure think they look a lot alike!)

| Lucky me|

Mother's day was WONDERFUL for me this year. I couldn't have imagined a better day. Bryan had already spent an entire week at home catering to our every need. And Sunday was no exception. He fixed breakfast, cleaned up breakfast (that is always the best part!), put Kayla down for her nap, and then took her to church. I got a nice long afternoon nap with just me and the baby. Plus, how could it not be wonderful when these are the kids I have to share it with...

Can I just say, I AM IN LOVE!

Our new little guy is here!

7 lbs. 6 oz. and 20.5" long

We absolutely love him! There will be plenty of picture to come soon! But here are a few to hold you over!

| chapstick |

Kayla has this "thing" with chapstick. This love obsession. Seriously. I pack her chapstick everywhere with me just in case she may need it. The other day she must have found one of her older messier ones (which I thought I had gotten rid of). She entered the kitchen with the most proud look on her face...covered in chapstick! I died laughing. Then I asked if I could take a pic, which she gladly obliged to. And as if the moment could have been better, this is the face she pulled...

| 39 weeks |

Well this is quite the milestone for me. I definitely did not make it this far with Kayla. I am 38, almost 39 weeks at this point. Everything has gone really, really well with this pregnancy. And this little guy has definitely made me stretch my belly farther than it has ever been! 

ps. I loved that Kayla wanted to be in this picture SO bad. And yes, she is trying to pull her shirt up so she can show her belly too. I just love her.

| Wee Sing |

Ever since Addelyn did Wee Sing we have just been waiting for Kayla to turn 2 so she could go. It is such a FUN class. Kayla is SUPER shy with new stuff so we have been trying to really get her involved in a lot of groups to help. It took her 3 weeks until she would actually interact with the class. She would try to dance to a song or two, but would always end up running back and hiding. Well, now I am happy to report she LOVES EVERY MINUTE OF IT!! She can't wait to go to Wee Sing, and neither can I.

I took some video today of her. I know there is a lot. I couldn't resist though, its so fun for me to watch her dance and sing the songs. Hope you enjoy! I stitched them all together into one video, hope it works ok! (she is the tiny one in the purple sweater)

| Easter 2010 |

Well, I can honestly say we THOROUGHLY enjoyed our Easter this year. It was so nice and relaxing (well at times)! We were able to go to the aquarium, and take Kayla to lunch, and enjoyed some movie watching as well. And then to top it all off we had Sunday with Bryan HOME all day with us. I couldn't have asked for more.

We dyed eggs one of the days Bryan was home. Kayla loved it, except we just couldn't move fast enough for her. Eggs were in and out so many times. She just liked fishing them out with the little metal thing. But she did dye some pretty cool colors so its all good!

(this one was obviously her favorite at the moment!)

And yes, 2 eggs are missing. Bryan and Kayla ate them in the middle of dying. She loves eggs. Loves. So they stopped for a brief intermission and snacked on a few.

We had a fun party at my moms on Saturday, but I of course didn't take a single pic. I will have to steal some of hers. 

We had our Easter bunny hunt Sunday, Kayla was pretty funny this year. She just wanted them opened so she could eat what was inside. It took over 30 minutes for her to find all her eggs. And that's mostly because the contents of each egg was trying to be consumed before she would go find the next. It was pretty funny. 

She got a baby stroller for Easter as well. She has pushed it around non-stop since then. Bear is getting more rides than I ever think he imagined!

We then had a wonderful Easter dinner and ANOTHER egg hunt at the Ahlberg's. Here are some of the pics Becky sent me.

She got a box of books and I am pretty sure she made almost everyone in the house read them to her!

And don't worry, this egg hunt went like all the rest. No interest in picking up eggs, just really wanted to eat what was inside. She would point to them and tell me "you do it" while munching on her piece of chocolate.
