Valentines Day and more!

I just have the most handsome little Valentine babies :) 
We had a sweet family Valentines Day. Jonah had his party at PLC and of course, Brubby was able to tag along and crash the party!







On Valentines Day, the boys got a couple little treats from Mommy and Daddy.... 

J asked recently for a "treasure truck with a yellow octagon that you put down to find the treasure". Thankfully, Mommy knew exactly what that baby was talking about :)  

We went on a family date to PF Changs and then did a little shopping for Emery.  

J decided he just wanted to use the chopsticks...little show off :)  

Other cuteness.....
Fun day at Airwalk with Daddy! Until Daddy split his pants, hahaha!





Lunch with the cousins... 
Biggest pizza I've ever seen!

Headed to church, looking like some studs!

Fun playdate with the Dees kiddos :)

Brubby loves color tabs, but....
He got into some trouble when he decided to color the whole bathroom. This was a minor incident. The big one was when he colored the potty water, got his bath cup, scooped out the water and tossed it into the tub. There was potty water all over the floor, rug, shower curtain, and splashed up the tub wall. Not to mention Fisher's hands were stained. I just couldn't deal. I walked away and poor sweet Daddy had to clean it up when he got home a few minutes later!

Best buddies :) This is the best thing we ever purchased. Jonah loves to drive around and "get stuck". Then they get out and push it together, jump back in, and take off! Brubby is still at the point where he doesn't care to drive, so no fighting!

We had such a fun time at Kinley's birthday party! Lots of different animals to pet, hold, and run from :) K started off the party by wearing a snake as a necklace!















Nice photo bomb, Brubby!

Speaking of Brubby, we had some bronchiolitis pop up on us. Brubby is not fond of the nebulizer, but he takes it like a champ!

Lol trying to teach Fisher about teetee-ing in the potty

He loves D :)

Jonah had a good dental checkup. No cavities!

LOVE THESE SMILES!!!!

Took my baby boys to the zoo yesterday for a special day with Mommy :)  

Baaaa-ing at the sheep 





Love you sweet sweets, and I love to watch you having fun and just being boys. You have my heart :)

28 Weeks

We hit the 3rd trimester!!! It's getting real :) We've been hard at work in sweet Emery's room, and it is precious! We still have a few things to do, but we are so close to being done. I had my doctor's visit this week, and everything went well. I had some very crampy days that I associated with not drinking enough water. I told Dr. B about it, and she agreed. Shame, shame on me! Other than that, I'm feeling good! It's pretty difficult to put my boots on these days, but that just means Emmy Jane is growing big and strong!

I thought this was adorable :) Fisher was playing cars with baby sister. He thought it was hilarious to use my rounded belly like a ramp. Silly sweet big brother! 



Oh, YAY for 4D ultrasound!!! It's all I wanted for Valentine's Day, and I'm so very glad we went. We tried 4D Mommies in Homewood this time. It was so great! The office was small but really nice. We took the boys and they had some toys set out for them to play with. When we first went in, the girl had a hard time getting a good view of Emery's face. We kept trying with no luck. She got another girl to come help and she found this sweetness right away! I cried just a bit :) She was just right there so clear. That sweet mouth and chubby cheeks. It's amazing to me that we are able to see a baby inside my tummy. I don't care if we have 8 kids, I will get a 4D every time! We are in agreement that she seems to have Jonah's nose and Fisher's mouth/chin. She gave us some sweet peeks then covered her face with crisscrossed arms and a foot tucked behind her head. Oh I just can't wait to meet you sweet little angel girl!






We got this heartbeat buddy as a part of the special they had for February. I loved the sweet little lamb :) It has a recording of Emery's heartbeat inside. J thought it was neat and just wanted to hold it the whole way home.

Sweet boys playing in the waiting room.

Best moment this week: Um...see above!

Symptoms: A little of everything
Food cravings: Well, being Valentine's Day and all, I've been crushing some chocolate ;)

Labor Signs: Not labor, but I had some cramping in my lower belly and back from not drinking enough water. I've also been feeling some tightness at times.
Belly Button in or out?About halfway out 
What I miss: Sleeping on my back. I broke out the prego pillow this week to keep me from rolling over to my back while I sleep. I love that monstrosity!
