Soccer Mom

Ethan joined his first organized sport team this Spring. With this new activity, I officially became a mini van driving, soccer mom. 

Ethan has practice once per week for 30 minutes and one game every Saturday morning. I'm getting a small taste of how busy life is going to get in the future with the kiddo's activities.

Easter 2012

The night before Easter, we decorated Easter Eggs.


The Easter Bunny came to our house during the night and left a surprise.


The Bunny Puppy was a big hit!


Eggs were found that the Easter Bunny had hidden around the living room.


Daddy had trouble waking up since we started the Easter Egg hunt during the 5 o'clock hour! He tried to sleep on the couch but Ethan wouldn't let him miss any of the fun.








We got dressed up and headed to church. I am so blessed to have these handsome boys in my life! (and the 8th month of pregnancy)


I volunteered make special treats for our church congregation following the Sunday Morning Service. 

Bunny Cake Pops

 Bird Nests (mini brownies with frosting, malted milk eggs and peeps to decorate the platter)

Bunny Tails (powdered sugar doughnuts)

 Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries

My mom ended up coming down with Pink Eye, so we weren't able to have Easter Dinner with the Mason side of the family as we had originally planned. We ended up enjoying a nice meal at Jim's parents that they graciously allowed us to crash at the last minute. After making all those church treats, I wasn't overly eager to have to make Easter Dinner myself.

Here's to the promises that Easter holds and the new beginnings that come with the Spring season.

Baby Bump Growth in Pictures


Growing...growing...and growing some more!

It's hard to imagine that I've still got a couple more weeks of expanding left to do. I've been measuring 2 weeks ahead of schedule, and it shows. It is certainly easier for the bump to expand the second time around!
