Victoria (the one in the pink top) did a hands down phenomenal job on this Sugar and Spice shower.Baby Girl and I felt so loved and so spoiled. She not only made the invites/thank you cards, and individual game kits, and everything pictured but she arranged to have freezer meals made when the our little one arrives. She's amazing!!.

Tucked inside the game kits the guests were to fill out a Wish List for Baby Girl. So sweet. Can't wait to add those to her keepsake book my friend Stacy made.  Other games include the "Don't say Baby" clothes pin that were accented with lil cupcakes, individual bingo cards when opening gifts and the game "What would Becky say?" where they had to finish a baby phrase.

 The food was delish and there was a huge variety of breakfast items to choose from.

It was a perfect morning and I'm extremely grateful to Victoria for doing this for us. 

Easter egg decorating party with Victoria

 It wasn't just decorating eggs but it was a full on dinner with tuna wrapped crescents in the shape of carrots, pastel colored deviled eggs, pink and green colored pasta, etc etc.

 Lucas colored his eggs green and Brian did his in blue. They did really good. Jacob tried but ended up with more dye on me and him than on his egg. We all had so much fun.

 Jacob had a ball with the window stickers. He'd peel them off and on over and over again.

 Victoria made these adorable goody bags packed full of Easter fun. Lucas was pretty wiped out since they ran and played in the backyard for a little bit. Jacob didn't hesitate to explore his goody bag. He dug right in.

Nobody went home empty handed cuz she made me a cute felt Easter egg with nail polish to enjoy. So sweet!!

I've never seen this expression from Jacob before but it made me laugh cuz this is what happens when I say "Cheese". Another one of the highlights of the party was that we got to enjoy egg salad sandwiches the next day. Yum.



Since the weather has been so nice I've been trying to get out as much as I can with the boys. The pollen has kicked into high gear but that hasn't stopped us from getting out and having fun. I know the first 6 weeks that Baby girl is here I'll be inside focusing on nursing. Luckily Grandma Anderson will be here to get the boys out and keep them busy. With the month of April comes lots of fun Easter activities and play dates. This one we met up with the Hansen family and rode bikes around the block, played at the park, had ice cream, and finished off in the backyard. I'm so grateful for good friends that make these last few weeks of pregnancy so much more bearable.

 Victoria and Vilma had a fantastic St Patty's Day playdate. We made a leprechaun scrapbook page, decorated masks and ate yummy food.

Victoria hosted a Mardi Gras playdate/ Thirty and One party at her place. Lil Brian was in preschool so it was the perfect opportunity to spend some one on one time with Lucas. Attending one of Victoria's playdates is always a treat.

Lucas loved beading his necklace and the King cake.

We decorated masks and ate delicious gumbo and jambalaya.

We had a great time. Thanks V!

This is a sneak peak of some of the pictures Stacy Thomas took of our Valentines dinner.

I was hoping to post more but blogger said that the images were to big. Once I try and make them smaller I'll get them up. Her pictures turned out perfect from that amazing night. I wish you could see more.

Brian and one of the many kisses that night.

Some February love.

 How adorable is this?. It's a Valentine cake decorating kit that was made by my sweet friend Victoria. She brought it when they came to dinner. It's way too cute to take apart. This girl has ubber loads of talent. 

 Lil Brian had his first Valentines Day party at Preschool. He picked Captain America  valentines and we stuck a sucker with it just to add a little extra sweetness to it.

Brian did super in writing out his name.

 The boys got a little valentine treat from Dad and I.

It was a nice Valentine's Day. We did a date night swap with some friends of ours. My gift to Brian was taking him to see the Stars Wars 3D movie. It was nice since there were scenes that I haven't seen before and I couldn't help but tear up cuz they went more into depth with the relationship of Anakin and his Mom.
