37 Weeks and Counting

I am down to about 3 weeks left until my due date and my sister, Christin, really wanted to see a picture of me this pregnant (she has never been around me when I am really pregnant) so thanks to my cousin Jennifer who insisted on taking this picture over the weekend at my Grandpa's 90th birthday party I have one to post. I'm actually still feeling pretty good and as my due date approaches I am getting more and more nervous. You would think that since I have done this 2 times before I wouldn't be nervous for the delivery but I am. I am excited to see what she looks like (she still doesn't have a name). I wonder if she will look like Peyton and Hailey did with lots of black hair or if she possibly might look a little more like my family with lighter hair or maybe no hair. I can't even imagine that. So thanks Jennifer for bringing your camera and having someone take this picture (Jennifer is 33 weeks pregnant). I am sure Christin will appreciate it.

She finally did it!

This weekend Peyton finally decided that she was brave enough to take off her training wheels and try to ride her bike on her own. If you know Peyton you understand why it took her so long to get the courage to try it out. She was born very cautious. She didn't crawl, walk, or really move around until she was 14 months old. We were lucky to have daddy here this weekend to help her. I tried helping her for the first 10 minutes and I about killed myself. Trying to run and keep up with a bike and help her keep her balance is a little hard for someone who is 8 months pregnant. It took her a few tries but she finally got it. Now we are working on starting and stopping without any help.

Hailey wanted to be part of the fun so she rode her bike (with training wheels) along the sidewalk.

Here are a couple of videos of Peyton riding her bike.

Fun Filled Weekend

We had a lot of fun this weekend and it all started on Thursday after school. The girls and I went over to my parent's house and dyed Easter eggs. The girls had a great time drawing on the eggs and mixing colors. Peyton had a little more patience when it came to letting them stay in the dye for a long time so hers where a lot brighter than Hailey's.
After they finished dying the eggs Grandma hid them in the backyard and the girls had their own little Easter egg hunt.

The Easter Bunny visited our house Saturday morning and left the girls some goodies and toys. Peyton loved the jump rope she got and Hailey loved the bunny jewelry she got. She especially loved the clip on earrings (something she has never had before).

After we found the Easter baskets we went to the church for a delicious breakfast and Easter egg hunt with our ward. We had to hunt for the eggs inside since it was poring rain (something that seldom happens in Arizona). It wasn't much of a hunt but the girls loved opening the eggs and seeing the treats inside.

Saturday was also Ryan's 34th birthday and the girls showered him with gifts. Peyton insisted on getting him flowers and Hailey wanted to get him his favorite soda.

After spending the morning at the ward Easter activity we went to the movies with the girls and saw "Bolt".

Ryan was able to get food from his favorite restaurant "Joe's Real BBQ" and the best part was that it was free (you eat free on your birthday). I wish we could have done something more exciting but since he was only in Arizona with us for a day and a half and it was also Easter we didn't have much time to do a ton (he has been working in California during the week and coming home on the weekends for the past month and a half).

Saturday night Peyton was invited to a birthday party at Girly Girlz and boy did she have a fun time. They dressed up in poodle skirts, got their hair done, put makeup and jewelry on, got their nails painted, and had lots of yummy food.

At the end of the party they had a little fashion show for all of the parents that came to pick up their daughters and it was so cute. She had a great time and wishes she could have her birthday party there (it's not going to happen but a girl can dream).

So overall it was a busy weekend but was lots of fun. Happy Birthday Ryan and Happy Easter to everyone else.
