Only 10 more days!

With only 10 days to go until our delivery day on June 3rd, we decided to have a little fun!
Baby update--a little late but here is our 36 week pic!  Our appointment update from this week-ultrasound went very well, Peanut is estimated to be 5 lbs 13 oz-still measuring small but we still have more time to put on more weight.  Delivery day has been set for June 3rd!

We have spent time making crazy train tracks
Spending time with the boys putting up hay
Having a girls day!
Beautiful nails for a beautiful big sister!

Our own Frozen Fever

Gwen wanted a birthday party, and even though it is a little late, I kept my promise for a Frozen party.  It started with some food...
Rainbow cupcakes...
Frozen punch with "we finish each others sandwiches"
Do you want to build a snowman?
Kristof's jello ice, cupcakes, snowballs, and frozen hearts :)  (Gotta love Pinterest)
The ladies arrived--Guests of honor included Sophia, Gwen, Gracie, Abigail, and Wyatt
And then Elsa, Anna, Elsa, Elsa, and Olaf showed up after lunch!
Gwen came up with the games--1st up-Frozen Fever Freeze Dance!

Then for some do you want to build a snow man!
Gwen was a little embarrassed by how her Olaf turned out
Wyatt was very proud of his Olaf!

What came next was actually my idea--play snow which was a combination of cornstarch and shaving cream...sounds good right?

They loved it!

Look at this snowman!
Wyatt found a way to include tractors of course
Frozen Fever party--was a success!!!!!

Matilda

The story of Matilda started the Thursday before Mother's Day when she arrived to use from Louisville.  Matilda is a 13 year old llama that has spent all her life watching over alpacas, she now will watch over Joey's sheep...except she is a little scared of them since she has never seen sheep.  Upon her arrival, Matilda escaped the corral and took off down the road and into the woods.  Brad took off after her and his cousin Kevin (who conveniently lives down the road) blocked her from going further.  Matilda outsmarted them both and went into the woods!  Eventually, Kevin was able to distract her enough for Brad to lasso her and then walked her back to her new home.  It was quite the day!

Needless to say, Matilda got out again on Mother's Day to go for another walk when she noticed she could jump over the fence.  I am happy to report that Matilda is feeling more comfortable with the sheep and hasn't attempted to go for any more walks.  She is getting used to the sheep and the kids.  It will just take time.

Wyatt has been taking Matilda for walks inside the fence

Gwen has been working to feed her

Sweet Charlie Farmer Pants!!!!!  That is one handsome little dude!

A long over due visit and Happy Mother's Day

Jenn, Andy, Brad, and I have been attempting to coordinate a visit since all the snow storms this past winter.  Finally, we were all able to get together here.  I really wanted to meet up at the zoo as we had done before, but all votes were against the idea with Peanut being so close to being here.

Wyatt attempted to give Gwen a ride, but it was a little tricky to get going
Addy was right a home playing on the playground

Jonathan was all smiles!

Our newest friend, Matilda (Joey's new llama) decided to go for a little walk...more about her later
Matilda needed a little break during their walk...getting her moving again took Joey, Brad, Andy, and Steve on the razor

Brad attempting to follow Matilda before they caught her

While we waited for the big boys to round up Matilda, we played on Gram and Poppy's patio
Then we headed off to Lazy Dayz park!  Adelaide was loving all of it!
Jonathan took to exploring quickly

Here we go!!!!!
The moms enjoyed much needed time together
My surprise for Mother's Day was a new camera--the very first picture taken was of the reason I get to celebrate Mother's Day!

Wyatt's big performance

Wyatt's first year of preschool has come to an end, but not before he had another preschool program.  His Christmas program was wasn't his greatest performance (like me he chose not to do anything!), but he certainly made up for it this time around!


Wyatt was very into his character and was very proud of his role

The fun continued with the Dove class performing some of their favorite songs.

The night kept getting better because after the program Mimi and Bubba arrived for a weekend visit!  We had to take it easier than usual due to me not being able to move as fast, but we still had a great time.  Holiday World is now open, so off we went!

Round and round the tea cup goes, who is driving it? Nobody knows!

A new ride for Gwen and Wyatt...and a new favorite!

Being bigger has its perks-right Bubba!

Other fun... Peanut is weighing in roughly at 4 lbs 9 oz and is coming in small at the 14th percentile.  She passed the movement test with flying colors and we will start non stress tests and weekly appointments starting at our next appointment in 2 weeks.  They are watching my blood pressure again, as it has decided to be up some every appointment.  However, it s not to the point that my doctor is going to be restricting me to the house yet like he did with Gwen.  I have been working hard to get other things ready...the crib is ready!  We have decided to go with an elephant theme in the nursery this time.  Carolyn and I (mostly Carolyn) made the crib skirt and I made the rail cover.  Now we are on to making a quilt and dressing up some burp clothes:-)
