37 Weeks!!!

37 Weeks has gotten here so quickly! I only have 20 days left in this pregnancy and it is so weird. With my other two it seemed like the last 4 weeks went by so slow but this one seems to be flying by! Here is my belly this week! Don't judge this picture! I had to take it myself since I was a little slow getting ready this morning and Richard had to leave early so I didn't have a photographer. I guess I could have asked Trey but I didn't trust him with this camera!


The belly is getting big! I went to the Dr. this last Tuesday and just as I thought there is nothing exciting to report! In fact she isn't even in the right position yet!! Well she was a few weeks before but the day before my appointment she decided that she was in the circus and moved and flipped all day long! She is close just a little off to the side. I'm hoping for better news when we go back this week!! I've gained 29 pounds so far, that may seem like alot but it's not if you knew how much I had gained with both the boys!! I guess that is all nothing to report it is all just waiting, waiting and more waiting!!!

Easter Weekend!!!

Oh Easter you came and went so quickly! I wasn't exactly on top of things this year so we are lucky we got everything done! Thursday night after Richard got home from work and we ate dinner we dyed eggs! The boys were super excited and couldn't wait to do it! So we got everything ready to go and we realized that we didn't have any vinegar! So only one of our dyes got some! We all agreed that it would be blue!

Here is Jack with all his eggs!

Trey going to work!

Richard made a very special egg in honor of a special little lady! It says, "For Harper, love Daddy!" So sweet!
The boys checking out all their pastel colored eggs! I will do a better job next year I promise!

On Saturday we headed to Richmond for an Easter Egg Hunt! Trey had been looking forward to it all week! He was so excited he was even counting down the days! This hunt is great because it is divided in age groups and you can usually get a good amount of eggs. Trey just loves it! We met up with Grandpa Bair, Kalee, Chett and Chalis it was so much fun!

Here all the boys all ready to go!

Jack wasn't sure about what he was suppose to do! It was funny because he would pick up an egg think he was putting it in his bucket and it would fall out the back! Eventually he got it down though! It was just so funny to watch this trail of eggs follow behind him for awhile!

Trey was a pro he knew just where to go!

Jacky showing off his eggs!

And Trey with his. He was so proud of how many he got! He thought he was pretty cool to because he got more then Chalis!
Grandpa Bair and his boys! It was so fun hanging out with the Bairs for the morning! Trey and Jack had a great time and Trey can't wait to go again next year! We might have to give Jack a practice run before he goes again ;)

Easter morning finally came! Trey was also counting down to this! After we put him to bed the night before he kept coming into my room and saying that he just needed to go down stairs and check on something for a minute! I didn't know what he was doing the first few times but then I realized he was looking to see if the Easter Bunny came! Silly kid!

The Easter Bunny sort of spoiled the boys this year...well he does every year! But I guess that is what happens when Richard does the shopping, he has no control over himself ;)

Trey was so excited to get a real baseball mitt so he could play catch with Dad!

Jack was just excited about Treats! Every time he would see something in his basket the looked like chocolate he would get all excited and say, " OOOOOH, Treats!"

Here are the boys all ready for church that afternoon! I handmade these Easter ties for them. They were kind of a pain to make since I had never made one before but don't they look so cute! I will definitely be making them more!

Totally awkward picture of me and the boys but whatever!

Richard and the boys...don't they all look excited to be going to church?

Later after church we headed to Richard's parents house! For dinner and a Easter Hunt!

here are the boys ready to hunt themselves some surprises!

The boys with Cousin Carter and AnaBelle!

I just love this pic of Jack and AnaBelle! They are so cute together!

Carter and Jack to funny little guys!

Grandma and Grandpa with all the kids! I'm pretty sure everyone was ready to be done with picture taking by this point! We had a great time with all the family! It was great to see everyone and visit and let the kids play together! We had a great Easter Weekend hope you did too!

36 Weeks!!!

I'm in the final stretch...literally! My belly is stretching more and more everyday and Harper has no problem finding more places to stuff her little body!
Here is the belly! I'm officially ready to be done...I think! I'm ready to have my body back to myself and to see this sweet little girl! I think that we all are! Jack is even ready! He keeps asking me when she is going to come and what we are going to do with her! He picked out some Binky's for her at the store the other day and he can't wait to give her one so that is progress! I'm still hanging in there. I'm amazed that I haven't gotten swollen or anything yet! With the boys I blew up like a balloon at the end and this time it seems like everything is still staying in place lets hope that it stays that way for the next couple of weeks! Other then that just still more waiting!

In other news....I've debated whether to talk about this because it's been a hot topic of conversation for some people! But it's my blog and I will brag about it if I want to! Richard went out of town a couple of weeks ago to Vegas. He went for a business trip. When he came back of course he brought back surprises, because that is just the kind of dad/husband that he is! If my pregnancy induced mind remembers correctly he brought the boys back a video game...I think! For me he brought me back something amazing!!!

This little girly...for my charm bracelet! It was so sweet he saw it and thought it would be the perfect thing to represent Harper on my charm bracelet and I couldn't agree more! He chose the cupcake because we call her Baby Cakes....get it? I just love it! I just am so thankful to have a husband that loves me so much! I mean seriously... I'm kind of a spoiled girl! But I'm not ashamed of it one bit! Richard is just amazing and I don't tell him enough! He treats me like a princess and I know that he is going to be amazing with Harper...He already is! He does so much for all of us and is just a wonderful Dad and Hubby! So thank you Richard so much for all that you do for us and me! To be fair since your so great I'll consider this my "Push Gift" so you're off the hook ;) So here is to 28 days left of being pregnant for the rest of my life!!!!

No Training Wheels Trey!!!

A while ago Richard and Trey decided that Trey was a good enough bike rider to ditch the training wheels! I on the other hand was a little nervous, because if you know Trey at all you know that he is one accident prone kid. Seriously I'm surprised we've never had to make a trip to the ER! There was only one time that we though that we might of had to but then we just decided that we would save ourselves the bill and super glue that problem shut!!! So I was a little hesitant to say the least! They took them off and he has been practicing for a couple weeks now, he still hasn't got it down great but he is doing really good! He's at least to a point where he just needs you to steady him a little a first and then he can pretty much handle it from there. Which is good for me because this momma isn't in and shape to run next to him while he rides! Over the past couple of days I've tried to get a good video of him doing it for proof that he can do it! But they are all short and I swear he knows when I pull out the camera to do it, because he gets all nervous and doesn't make it very far! So I made a movie of all the short little shots that I got into one...It's so cute I hope you enjoy!!!

The Baby Bear Incident!!!

When Jack was born Grandma Princess bought him his first Disney Bear! He looked something like this!
He was so cute and cuddly and soft! He came with a cute little story about him and he has hidden Mickey's all over himself! He just sat in Jack's room for a long time! Until one day he discovered this bear that sat in his room and it was LOVE! Just so you know Jack's middle name is Bair and he loves Bears! He has a bear blanket that Grandma Princess made him that he has to have with him at all times. No other blanket will do he has named it the Baby Bears not to be confused with Baby Bear and he just loves it! It goes every where all the time. It's hard to pry out of his fingers when it's time to wash it...it's his love! Now these two things the Baby Bears and Baby Bear are a must during the day, when he watches a movie, at lunch and especially when it is time to go to sleep! They also come with us everywhere...to the store, on all of our road trips, on walks basically where ever we go. So I hope you are following along with just how important these things are. Jack has loved on Baby Bear so much that he is looking a little rough but to me it just says he is loved. He's lost his little plump body and now has a neck with no stuffing and because he is a little less then plump his jammies never stay on, but it doesn't matter to Jack, because that is what makes him Baby Bear! Baby Bear is like a member of the family, before we leave to go somewhere even if Jack hasn't said anything one of us will say "did we get Baby Bear?"
Any who on to the big story! Jack loves to "kiss" Baby Bear and he likes you to kiss him too. So at night when he is getting ready to sleep he gives him a "kiss" on the nose. But his kiss is more like a bite! Well on Tuesday night he did this and then looked at me in horror because this is what happened.....


Baby Bears nose just fell right off! He looked terrified... what just happened to his friend! I couldn't believe it there was Baby Bear and his nose was just hanging there literally by a thread!!! I took a look at it and knew that it could be fixed with a little super glue and told him that it would be ok! So Jack put him on the pillow next to him very softly and covered him with the Baby Bears and told him "Mommy will fix you"! He gave him a nice soft none biting kiss and snuggled him to sleep!
After Jack was asleep I took Baby Bear down to the kitchen to assess the damage! It was a little funny but I had a bunny named Buns when I was little that was like my Baby Bear and I remember him going into the wash and coming out a little less then in one piece! It's traumatizing to the little soul! And yes Baby Bears hat is falling off and I've tried to tell Jack we should sew it back on but he doesn't think so he likes him the way that he is so I don't argue!
So here I am at 9:30 at night operating on poor Baby Bear! I would have rather been in bed but I knew he had to fixed and sweetly tucked back in bed with his Jacky Bear before I could sleep! In the morning I don't think that Jack even remembered the incident because he got up with Baby Bear and continued on with his morning like nothing ever happened to him. Even when I asked about it he didn't really say anything, maybe he is just trying to block it out! Somebody told me that we should retire Baby Bear and get him something new...but that is not going to happen! Think of Toy Story people Baby Bear and Jack would be devastated forever!!! They love each other to much to part ways! You don't end up looking like Baby Bear does unless you are 100% loved and I assure you his is! If you ask Jack who he loves more Baby Bear or anything else ( it doesn't matter what and that includes me) it's always Baby Bear!!!

We Love Basketball?!!!

So when the college basketball tournament started Trey got really into it! I mean like we talked about it every second of the day and he had to wear basketball shorts every minute of his life and we played basketball constantly! The kid loves Basketball! We all filled out brackets I tried not to fill mine out like a stupid girl who doesn't know anything about basketball, Trey filled his out according to mascot and Richard filled his out pretty much knowing that he was going to win...or so he thought! So everyday there was a basketball game Trey lived and breathed it he even started watching ESPN instead of cartoons...we was dedicated! To make a long story short Trey didn't win the bracket challenge in this family due to his method of picking and neither did Richard, he pretty much underestimated my abilities (as did I)! I was the winner in this house I beat the man who thinks that he knows everything and I want the whole world to know it!!!! I AM THE WINNER!

Now that every one knows that we can get back to Trey's basketball obsession! Every night after dinner when we all sit down and wait for our favorite show The Wonder Years (don't ask) to come on, we also have a family friendly game of basketball! Here is how it works! The hoop goes over by the love seat, me and Richard sit on the couch and the game begins! Trey likes to see how many blocks he can make and Richard and myself see how many we can get past him! Occasionally Jack gets involved but usually he just runs around like a crazy person! Now this game is not easy as Trey is as tall as the basket so it's hard to get anything past him unless you say something like " hey look at the t.v."! But Richard has figured out the secret! Trey can only focus on one hand at a time so he puts both his hands up, one with the ball one without and then takes turns waving one of them back and forth! When he has Trey confused enough about which hand the ball is in he shoot and he scores! It's kind of funny because Trey will mimic what Richard is doing and I think it's pretty funny, because he gets so intense! Luckily I got it on video for your viewing pleasure! So sit back and enjoy the basketball game it's a good one!!!

34 Weeks!!!

34 weeks...how did you get here so fast! I seriously feel like I just found out I was having a baby and now I'm super close to having this little girly! I'm starting to feel like I'm ready for this though so that is a good sign! I'm getting super uncomfortable, sleeping is something that I can't even remember these day....well not good sleep anyways! My hips hurt, my back hurts, my knee hurts from being so fat and my ribs feel like they are on fire! I keep telling myself that this is what has to happen if I'm going to prepare myself to have this little girl! Luckily though I haven't gotten swollen like the last 2 times so good for me! I have had to take off my wedding ring but probably just because of the slight weight gain ;) Last weekend Richard had gone out of town enough that he had earned a free hotel room so we decided that we would take the boys on a little adventure to SLC! It was a nice little get away, we got a place with a pool and the boys loved it and so did I! Seriously I didn't want to get out of the pool because it made this belly feel like a feather! It was so nice to have the weight lifted off me for a little bit! It would have been even better if the place wasn't filled with a bunch of teenage boys on a ski trip who apparently have never seen a pregnant person in their life! I mean seriously I felt like I was being thrown into the lions den and Richard thought it was hilarious! I just like to think that they were thinking "look at that HOT pregnant chick!!" ;)but I highly doubt that is what the eyeballs falling out of their heads were for!!! The last few days I've been feeling a little slower than normal and I've been really tired! I want to seriously kill myself every time I have to walk up all our stairs in the house, but usually I can get one of the boys to do it for me!!! Harper is still and mover and a shaker she has been moving alot more in the day then the night lately so hopefully she'll figure that out before she is born and she will sleep like a champ ;) Other then that we are just waiting! Trey and Jack are getting excited! Trey has a little anxiety! Every time that Richard has to go out of town he gets super nervous because Richard tells him to be the man of the house and he gets worried that I'm going to have the baby! Poor kid he follows me all over the place when Richard is gone and if I even make one little peep of something he goes into full on "are you ok mom!" panic!! It's kind of cute but the kid is going to worry himself sick! Hopefully after this weekend Richard won't have to many more out of town weekends so Trey won't be so worried all the time! Any who I will now relax til Jack is done napping! Happy 34 Weeks to me!!!
