Mothers Day

My Mothers Day this year started a little early. My wonderful mother in law takes all of her daughters and daughters in law to Women’s Conference at BYU every year as part of our mother’s day gift. This year we went from April 29th to May 1st. It is so much fun because we get to go shopping and have an uplifting girl’s weekend without kids. Thanks Laura! We go in a pretty large group with friends and family and I get so busy that I forget to take pictures so here is all I have.

Here is where mother’s week (as I like to call it this year) got really good. I didn’t tell you that my car broke down for the fiftieth time right before I left and Tom was trying to fix it. The day before I left he decided it was maybe time to start looking for a new car (something I didn’t expect). So I happily went with him to look at one he found on KSL that day. I fell in love! It was a nice car for the price range we were looking in, and I was maybe a little over excited to get a car, so I told him to buy it. He waited and waited and then the guy sold it to someone else. I was so so sad but, I left on my vacation and had a good time. When I got back, Tom, Alyssa and this car I had fallen in love with, was in Laura’s garage! On it was a note that said “Happy Mothers Day, Happy Birth Day and Merry Christmas Kaycee Love Tom and Alyssa”! I can’t tell you how happy I was! The deal is that he lied to me and actually got the car the night I left! I love my man he is the best ever!

So I got a car a week early but that’s not all. I also got to drag Tom shopping with me to spend the rest of the money my mother in law gave me. He hates shopping with me so that was the sweetest thing ever. Then on Saturday, the day before mother’s day, Tom took Alyssa and me on a hike with him. I am seven months pregnant and to most women that may sound not so fun, and it was hard, but for me it was one of the best days ever. I can’t explain how fun it was to just be with Tom and Alyssa. On actual mother’s day I spent time with my Mom and sisters and also with the Baldwin side of Tom’s family and both were so much fun but I forgot my camera so no fun pictures, sorry.

Easter

Easter was a blast! Tom was lucky enough to have a six day weekend over Easter so we were able to go to Simpson Springs with my dad. We were also lucky enough to be able to borrow Layne and Laura's camping trailer and four-wheeler, and Matt's motorcycle! Thanks everyone! It was so fun to spend time just playing. The Easter bunny left candy and swimming suits for Alyssa and my unborn baby boy. Oh yeah I AM HAVING A BOY!!!!! We are super excited! So yeah Easter was way fun and I hope you like the few pics I remembered to take ha.

This is my baby driving a four wheeler by herself, sorta, Tom had to be close because she cant steer and she takes off pretty quickly sometimes ha ha.

These are just some pics from boring days at home. Yes my little girl loves to pretend to shoot us with daddy's BB gun and you can see it in her evil smile. She also likes to make jewelry with play dough, perfectly rounded child if you ask me ha ha!

My sisters in law and I had a mommies day while our hubbies went hunting. We decided to let the kids make Valentines Day cookies and they had a blast! Alyssa's cookie got broken but it started out in the shape of a heart.

Alyssa turned two on January 28. She was probably confused because for the entire month of January we got gifts and had little celebrations so by the time her real birthday came she had already celebrated it too many times. However it was a lot of fun and she got great gifts from lots of people. These pictures are of her actual birthday and the amazing cake was made by my wonderful sister Cortney. Thanks to all who helped make her birthday month so fun!

Christmas Parties

This is Christmas at Grandma Margo's house. We had an awsome ham and turkey dinner and opened presants. I was a blast! Great Grandma "J" came and gave great gifts too. I didnt take as many pictures as I should have because I had my video camera out. So here are the few fun things I took Pictures of. After we opened presants we went to Temple Square to look at the lights. That was fun but sorta cold.

This was Christmas Eve at Grandpa Scuba Steve's house. We had lots of fun eating brunch and opening gifts. Grandma brenda told us some stories to help us appreciate all that we have and I think it helped us feel the Christmas spirit. After that we went to Petersens to eat dinner and play dodgeball.

This is christmas at Grandma Mac's house. It was so fun to see all the kids open thier gifts. The adults do gag gifts after the kids start playing with their new toys and it is so much fun. I am sad that I dont have pictures of it though because my camera died.



The first snow of the year!

Every year we go to the McFarland family cabin to get our Christmas trees. This year we went the first week in December. It was way fun but there wasn't any snow to play in. It was still pretty cold though.

Silly Alyssa

She looks like a great little mommy with her shoes, baby and camera.

Alyssa got all of her animals and put them to bed on the stairs. It was so cute. She spent all day on those stairs.


Cute hair huh? I was pretty proud of myself for doing something other than piggy tails ha ha. Tom thinks she looks like a bug but I like it.

Guess What!

So I am about seven weeks pregnant and since Tom told his family I guess everyone else can know. I was going to wait a little while to tell, but its ok I guess. I am due on July 23, 2009. I found out I was pregnant about two weeks ago. Yay! I went to the doctor early this time just to make sure everything is going well and it is.
