TIME FOR A LITTLE CHANGE

BEFORE...

THANKS KATHI...YOU DID A GREAT JOB...I LOVE IT!

LOVING 2 1/2

Up to this point I would have to say that this is my favorite stage with Justin. Putting aside the stubbornness, tantrums, and making him stay in time-out I love watching the things that he comes up with and especially all the things he is starting to say. I was taking a bath with him the other night and he holds his squirt toy right up to his face, hunches over (you really would have to see it like he was being sneaky), and says "I'm gonna squirt the baby" as he squirts my tummy with water...oh so cute...If its possible I really probably do kiss him too many times in one day just because of all the dang cute things he does.

Anyway I was getting ready in the bathroom the other day and he was playing in the cupboard, all of a sudden he grabs his big dump truck and runs out. I thought it was odd but maybe he was just done playing so I finished getting ready. A couple minutes later I walk into the living room (while on the phone) to find this.......

Even better...or more amazing....is that he picked them ALL up and put them back into the box with out even being asked!!!

HAPPY EASTER!

Today Justin and I went to our towns Easter egg hunt. It is so nice today that if Justin didn't need to come in and take a nap we would probably play outside all afternoon.

I told him to take a picture for Daddy (he is in Georgia) and this is what I got....tongue sticking out....sorry Chad.

He's no dummy. He wanted to see what was inside. Good thing the limit was 10 eggs. He had all that candy eat'n in no time.

Easter Bunny break-through. He actually went up by himself and stood there for a picture without freaking out. Did I mention the basket of chocolate eggs the bunny was holding? I'm sure that had nothing to do with it :)

31 weeks prego packing around a 26 lb toddler....soo fun! Good thing he would rather walk most the time.

Family Visit

So the newly retired "in-laws" came to visit DA-DA-DA-DA j/k. It was so great to see family and have them stay with us for a while. We had a good time...at least I think/hope so...our life isn't too exciting. But, interesting enough, Jeffs parents use to have a home here in Pinetop-Lakeside. So he grew up coming here with his parents in the summer from Phoenix. Jeff helped me make tool boxes with my cub scouts..THANK YOU!!! There was no way I could have done that by myself. And Tracy helped me with paint colors for the new house. But really ( I know I know) this trip wasn't to see just me. Justin loved having them here and still asks where they went. Thank you for coming to visit! Can you believe that I didn't take one picture. SO I will have to steal them off your blog once you get home.....Hope you both have a good rest of your trip! WE LOVE YOU!

Oh the things that you find with a toddler. Normally, the outside of my fridge is scattered with Leap Frog Magnets and pictures that Justin has colored from story time, church or family home evening (he loves to hang them on the fridge himself and always makes sure to show Daddy when he gets home). SO surprisingly I hadn't noticed that the fridge was "cleaned off" until it was opened up........

Of Course...What a perfect place to put them...why hadn't I thought of that!?!?!?

BIG NEWS!!!

No I didn't have the baby....still have 10 weeks for that! But we do have some other exciting news to share..................

This pile of dirt is going to be our NEW HOME!!! So, Yep we are moving to Snowflake, AZ which is only about 25 miles from where we are now. They start next week and if all stays as planned the closing date will be May 30th (6 days after my due date). We are super excited and the contractor is great to work with. We will keep you updated on the progress.

Back to the Park

We went to Snowflake to look at a house and stopped by the park to have lunch and let Justin run off some energy. Although Saturday was 65 and sunny and Sunday was 35 and snowy I think park season is just around the corner. YEA!!!
