Lots going on.....

There has been so much going on lately, and our camera is not working too well so I don't have a lot of pictures, but I thought I should send some updates. So here it goes......

1. Edward and I have celebrated our birthdays over the last couple of weeks. We received tons of cards, calls, e-mails, texts, ect from everyone and we were so thankful to feel so loved!!!

2. My friend Carrie had her baby girl on my birthday!!! She was 2 1/2 weeks early, but perfectly happy and healthy! She is so cute!!! Her name is Kamryn Ann, but they are calling her Kami.

This makes me nervous on a couple of levels. For one, she was due only 3 weeks before me so that means I am that much closer. That leads me to my next point which is that I still have a lot of work to do before Baby Kiera makes her arrival.

3. Gabriel always gets his hair cut by Edward, and this time I was in the other room. Edward had some fun.

This is before the haircut.

This was halfway through.

When Gabriel came out to show me his hair cut I laughed, and then I told Edward to finish cutting it. He did and now he is back to his short hair. Thank goodness now that it is really warming up.

4. Spring Break!!! Spring Break started for me just a couple of hours ago! Edward and Gabriel are leaving this weekend to go see his family and I am staying home. I am really excited to sleep in, take naps, and read a book I haven't touched since getting it for Christmas, but I am going to miss the boys. They will have a ton of fun with the family. It will be a while before we all go back so it was a good time for them to visit before Kiera comes. I am really looking forward to having some quality time with Gabriel this week since I will be off. I know he will have fun, too, but he always has a really hard time being away from me when we have time like this together. It's okay though because soon enough I will be home with both of my kids full time!!!

So, I saw this on my friend Lauren's website, and I just had to try it. Many people say that Gabriel is looking more like me, but I just don't agree. So, according to this most expert website, he does look more like his dad, but I was shocked to see it was only by 7%. Who knows what "Baby Sister" will look like! I'm sure she will be an absolute cutie, though!!!

A Weekend for Two!

Edward and I took a trip to Denver, CO to have some time for the two of us before the baby comes. Here is a picture from the Aquarium. Notice the tiger (yes, a tiger at the aquarium) in the background? We became good friends with them as you will see. Besides me having strep throat and a cold on top of that, we had a great time. We realized that we hadn't been alone together for 4 days since our honeymoon almost 3 years ago. Anyways, we were very lucky that Grandma Susan and Edward's Auntie Katie came and stayed with Gabriel. He wore them out, but it sounds like they had a great time. Enjoy the pics!

I think Edward won the staring contest.

We went to the Coors Factory. After the really cool tour, Edward enjoyed his free beer......

I splurged and enjoyed a Dr. Pepper!

A night out!

The Snow!!!

Last year we started what we wanted to become a tradition, and so this year we continued with our tradition. We packed the car and headed to Flagstaff with the kids for a day of snow! This year we went with our friends Daniel, Holly, and their daughter Addisen and our other friends Bill and Terri and their daughters Emily and McKenna. We had a great time. None of us slept great at the hotel, so we were all pretty tired the next day, but we did it. We got up, stopped for breakfast at "The Place" and spent 2 1/2 hours in the snow.

Gabriel and Addisen enjoyed going down the hill on the sled over and over again.

Emily enjoyed going down the hill with her mom!

Holly taught Addisen to throw snowballs at her dad, but Daniel turned it back around on Holly. It was pretty cute how quickly Addisen caught on to the fun. She, of course, quickly got Gabriel involved!

McKenna made a snowangel with her dad!

Here is some video of all the fun!
