When you're 9 months pregnant and working full time...

...blogging is about last on your to-do list. Sorry. 

Here's been our week, in pictures

McKay giving his My Little Pony a bath because she was sticky.
Note to self - this is a fantastic way to kill time and get his hands super clean. He did this for at least 15 minutes! 

The fantastic Room Mom's decorate our bulletin boards for Teacher Appreciation Week each year. I actually cried when I saw mine! It is so incredible!

My selfie at 35 1/2 weeks. This was a week ago and not long after the baby dropped (even though everyone tells me he's too high still - he has in fact dropped!).
As of today - almost 37 weeks - the baby is around 6 lbs!!

The ladies I work with, were so kind to give me such a nice baby shower! I got a lot of  cute outfits for baby as well as tons of bath supplies for him. Such a relief! 

McKay's gifts for his preschool teachers and speech teacher. Today was his last day. 

Little Man at his last day celebration. He's really going to miss "My Dawn" AKA Miss Dawn.
She's been such a good teacher for him! 

Easter Weekend

Last weekend was Easter and it was a bittersweet one for my family. It was wonderful to see everyone - especially since we hadn't planned on it - but it was sad to say goodbye to my grandma. Her funeral was as upbeat as any funeral can be, I suppose. It was mostly family, and we knew the last thing my grandma would've wanted was her family, all together, crying for her. Instead we celebrated her life in memories, which was very sweet.

Sean was awesome to take care of the kids during the services. This is at the lunch afterwards - the kids thought he was the best jungle gym ever! What a good sport!

Sweet Lilly!

My dad with Chad's kids...

...and then with mine and Becca's.

Okay, so this was the funniest part of the weekend! Sean had Becca's phone during the funeral (because Lilly was playing a game on it) and he decided to pull an early April Fool's prank on her. Normally I think pranks are mean, but this one was too funny! He changed his contact info in her phone to say "Cat Facts" and then deleted all their prior texts. Then starting the next day he would text her with some crazy cat fact every hour on the hour, like it was from some crazy cat fan page. He only did it for a day and 1/2 but it drove her nuts!!!! I took this picture of her about 30 mins before she finally decided to call the number and realized it was actually Sean. She was pretty pissed, but I think once she gets over the annoyance of it, she'll think it was funny. At least the rest of us did! 

Mine and McKay's first time dying eggs. I'm guessing this was Becca's first time too  ??

Lucky boy got to hunt for eggs twice on Easter! First at Taylor and Logan's (where we stayed)...

...and then at my uncle's house where the rest of my family stayed. 

The kiddos showing off their eggs! Here are Becca's kids, as well as two of my cousin's kids. They all had a lot of fun together.

With grandpa after Easter dinner.

I love my family!

My sweet grandma passed away early this morning. She was sick with pancreas cancer for the past year and went peacefully in her sleep. It was such a blessing that she never really went through the final stages of cancer. I think we were all really dreading watching that happen so I'm glad she wasn't in any pain in the end. I think my dad said it best when he said, "She is now in a place where she will wait to greet each of us." I'm thankful to have that comforting knowledge in this sad time. 

Here are just a few of my favorite pictures of my grandma...

Collage-a-thon

 Instead of posting 9 different pictures, I put them into collages...because it was faster and 3 pictures is about all I have the energy to upload right now. I'm officially in my third (and last!) trimester - 28 weeks! Usually your energy is supposed to come back in your 2nd trimester, but mine never seemed to. I guess I should just get used to it though - I'm thinking with two kids I'll probably never have energy like I used to. I shouldn't complain too much though, I'd rather have less energy and be able to snuggle (and chase after) my cute boy and future cute boy! 

These are some of my favorite things right now - Hat Day at McKay's School,  a Shamrock Shake, and watching Kayo mimic us with his toys! 

Rare moments of a sweet, snuggly boy - he's usually too active for this to happen anymore! 

McKay found his own place to watch a show on my phone.
And me - 28 weeks (7 months) today! 

I Am the Worst

 ...at blogging that is. I have no extra energy these days and I think this baby has zapped all my creative juices. Anyways here's a few pictures of what we've been up to.

McKay's first day of preschool and riding the bus. He loves it! 

First time sledding. This crazy kid is such the daredevil.  It's really not a good thing.

BYUI Preschool

New baby is a thumbsucker too! 

25 weeks. Of course, McKay is always on the go.

Christmas post ... 4 weeks late!

There's really no excuse of why this is so late, but can we just blame in on my pregnancy?!? Okay, sounds good to me! Here are some pictures from our Christmas in Ohio.

McKay's still a little uneasy about sitting on Santa's lap.

We had one morning where all my high school besties were in town. So glad we were able to meet up. Love these girls! 

Our Christmas Eve: kids in matching jammies while we read and then watched How the Grinch Stole Christmas. So nice and relaxing! 

Christmas morning was very tiring for Ari

McKay and Lilly playing their new kazoos. 

Also while we were in Ohio I had an ultrasound done to find out the gender of our baby. I had the technician keep the results a secret so only my friend, Kristin, knew. She then made us this box with balloons to let us know....

It's a BOY!!!!

There are more pictures to share, so just plan on the next post in around 3 weeks   :o)  That way if it gets done before that we'll all be surprised! 

Slime-fest!

I'm way behind in my posts so I'll be doing some catching up over the next week or month...or year! 

The week before Christmas Sean's school participated in a fund raiser called "Operation Merry Christmas" where they purchase gifts for families in the area who need some extra help for the holidays. Part of the fun comes in where the students have goals of how much they can raise. In the past, if they've raised a certain amount they would dye a teacher's hair or shave off a teacher's beard (like Sean's done in the past!)

Anyways this year the students could dump mystery containers filled with various foods on a few teachers. Sean was volunteered to be one of the teachers. Here are a few pictures of him getting gooey food poured on his head! 

Making sure the other teachers got their fair share! 

Remember the show, "You Can't Do That On Television" with the slime?
