Spring Break

Spring Break is here! CDC is out of school this week and she is so excited about it! She's only in Pre-K , but already looking forward to her days off.. We spent the first day, Monday, of Spring Break at the park. We packed a little picnic for ourselves, took some Sidewalk Chalk and made a day out of it. The girls had a blast and we are having absolutely perfect weatherr!!

My skinny little minnies.. :)

Drawing herself. My, what big eyes you have!

CRChad fun simply drawing straight lines all over the place..

Tuesday, we headed to a different park,b ut it was so crazy packed we couldn't even find a parking spot!! So we went to the "baby store" aka Babies R Us to get a few more things for JClaire. {I'll post pics of the nursery and all of her goodies soon! I'm SO excited ab them all!!} Then later, we went back to the park. After that I had to go to work. Booo!! I am loving this weather though!! Nothing can bring me down.

Baby Shower!

I had my baby shower on 03/20/11 at 30.5 weeks pregnant. It was thrown by my mom and step sister. 

We decided to have the shower at my work. It's a convenient location for everyone and there is an outside deck with glass tables and umbrellas. My boss was nice enough to come and open on a Sunday for us to have it there. It all turned out super cute and went very smoothly. I didn't even expect to have a shower for my 3rd Girl! So it was a very welcomed party. :) The theme was pink/green with Owls. Because that is what Miss JClaire's room is decorated with.. My favorite part of the shower was the party favors my mom made. They can be seen above hanging from the tree. They are little felt owls. She spent a ton of time making them! I/Jaci got tons of adorable stuff at the shower. I feel so blessed to have such a great family and great friends that I work with!

One down side to the party, no pics of ME! Boo!! lol.. I took one of myself before I left on my phone. I may be able to post it on here later..

Here's the cake my step sister had made and the green punch in the back ground. They were both yummy!!

Gift table..

Guests.. 

Here's a close up of one of the favors.. One of the girls from work hung it from her bottle.. ;) 

JClaire's loot! So blessed!!

These are JUST newborn diapers. Hooray!

I spent forever working on the nursery after I brought all of this home, so i'll post pictures of that later. It is just darling now!! I love going in there and sitting down in the rocking chair just to relax.

Crafty Business

Jaci Claire's adorable little onesie. :)

I'e been feeling rather artsy and crafty lately, so i've become friends with my sewing machine again.. I wanted to make some stuff for the girls, as best I knew how. My first few tries were fails, but I learned tricks along the way and i'm really excited with how "Jaci's" name onesie turned out {above}What I do is draw what I want on a notepad, then transfer it to Wax Paper for a make shift pattern, then cut it out on fabric, then sew it on. Voila!!

Here's a "C" shirt for Cami

"C" shirt for Carrah

"J" onesie for Jaci Claire

Here are pictures for now. I'm just NOT in the posting mood lately. I'm rather BLAH in all aspects of life. I feel like a WHALE lately!!!! Swollen everywhere :( I just do not feel myself. This morning, I thought maybe my BP was high because I felt so swollen, but when I took it, it only read 102/55. Wow.. yuck!
