Two Milestones...

Just to update you all on a few miles stones that our family has reached....Jared just recently celebrated (Not really other than mentioning it!) that he has officially had a "real" job for one year! We were both shocked when he realized it. Where has the last year gone? We thought for sure we would have been moved out and into a place of our own by now...Not quite the case. Instead, another baby is coming and I'm on bed rest...which means no more house shopping for a few more weeks/months! Good thing Shan and Todd have the best backyard any kid could dream of so our kids are VERY much entertained! Way to go honey!!

Oh, and here is the "prego" picture. I actually put real clothes on for the first time in three weeks. So I had Alayna hurry and snap a photo of me before I forgot to take one prego picture. So I hope this pleases everyone...YES I am prego! I don't know that the 4 year old level is the most flattering but who's worried about that? Not me! I'm just glad I have one picture now!! The next exciting news is that I have made it passed 35 weeks. So I guess this bed rest thing is actually working. My doctor told me that he will only make me stay on bed rest till 36 weeks which is (Wednesday, May 6th). So I am on the down hill and counting...but each day that comes closer to no more bed rest means that we are one day closer to meeting this new little baby! YEAH!! (We did elect to not spoil our 9 month surprise...sorry to those that encouraged us to find out, we will just hold out a few weeks longer!!) Thanks again to EVERYONE that has helped us out so much. I can't tell you how wonderful you have made this experience. THANK YOU!!!

Pizza Kick off to Spring Weather!

Jared and Todd found a coupon for Domino's where you could order any large pizza today for only $6.99! So let's just say each family ordered a few too many pizzas. Each "man" thought they had to try every single kind they've ever dreamed of. So we had about one pizza per adult and kid. Yum!

Here is the first official sand volleyball game of the year!

Okay, so here is the official confession. I broke out of the house/bed/chair/lazyboy...because I couldn't stay away from the sand. But thanks to the kind attentive husband he "allowed" me to break the rules for one night. I got dropped off at the very corner of the park, with a comfy camping chair, etc. It was great! So here I was trying to keep a baby in, while my sister Angela was trying to get her baby to come out! So that was that, my first official outing on bed rest! It was GREAT!!! (SHH...don't tell!)

The girls wishing and pretending they were back on the beach of California!!

Late Easter Pictures

I decided that when the kids were dressed and ready for church today that I needed to take a few pictures of them in their Easter clothes. So here are a few to document the time of year and their cute little faces.

Alayna is 4 years old now and blossoming into such a pretty little thing.

Jake is 1 years old and 11 months old. He will be turning two on May 11th. So I think we could say he's nearly two years old. What a handsome little guy.

*I know the back drop is so lovely right? Well, I put them up in the lazy boy because I wanted to show the chair that I have been living in for the past two weeks. I figured it was a perfect spot since that's our current life!*

Oh, I was also able to have Alayna recite her Article of Faith for me on camera. Enjoy!
