Happy Easter, Happy Birthday

Yesterday was another busy day; it was Kevin's birthday and Easter. The day started with Kevin finding his Easter basket before we went to church.

After church it was time to celebrate Kevin's birthday, again!

3rd birthday party

We played games...

...Ate cake...

...played some more...





and there was a pinata too!



We had a great time celebrating Kevin's 3rd birthday on Saturday. Thanks to everyone who came to play and for the gifts.


Now, it's time for Easter and Kevin's actual birthday (there was a lot of excitement & candy this weekend)....

Our neighborhood hosted an egg hunt on Saturday morning. Kevin had fun collecting lots of blue eggs.

Showing us his loot...


Now... it's time for his birthday party!

Getting ready for the bday party & Easter

Dying easter eggs is a messy job!

We had fun making the cake for Kevin's party:

Kevin's race track/car cake (it turned out just like the picture on-line, we were so proud)!

Nate's birthday weekend

Today was Nate's birthday! We celebrated with dinner at the Skinner's house last night. The kids were very excited for the birthday cake and were close at hand to help Nate blow out the candles.

Perhaps one of the best presents Nate got was that Kevin did wonderful at potty training this weekend. For the past few weeks he's been very interested in it, very proud of his race car pull-ups. This weekend we finally took the pull-up off away. He's so proud of his new race car underwear that he didn't have any accidents all weekend! We are amazed! At first we were scared to leave the house (what to do if he goes in the car seat??? gross!), but today we ran errands and went out for lunch. He did great! I am wondering what will happen tomorrow when he's back at school amongst the chaos of all the other kids... I am sure those wonderful ladies can handle just about anything that gets thrown (or leaked) at them....

33 weeks and counting...

I had a checkup last week and got some good news from the doctor - this baby isn't measuring too big! In fact, I am right on target for 33 weeks. This is such amazing news to me and takes away some worries that this baby will be bigger than Kevin. I realize I have 6 more weeks to go and that's when most of the growth spurt happens, but for now, this is really making me relaxed about the entire ordeal. For the record, my guess is that we are having a girl! I have no facts to base this on, just that this baby is smaller and I have a few different symptoms. We'll see...
