a new do....

Maybe it is being pregnant, maybe it is boredom, maybe it is spring...maybe I just need a change? I don't really know why, but I was tired of the old and in need of the new. So I did it. I went and got my hair cut. It is shorter than usual, but I am really pleased with it. KJ LOVES it! Here are the pics...you can decide for yourself.right when I got home from the salon.

this morning after I did it myself! (I actually like it better this way!)

Easter fun and treats!

Here are a few pictures from our Easter Egg Hunt at Grandma Buckman's...

Easter is here....

The other night Dave was visiting from CO, and we dyed easter eggs...Last year was technically PG's first Easter but he was only a few months old so didn't really care. So, here is his "first" attempt at dying!
How 'bout orange!
Now for the face!
I don't think he knows what to think...but his egg looks great!
this is one of PG's Favorite places to hang out. It is a little shelf that just sits downstairs with nothing on it...it is probably better that way...he would just pull everything off and sit down anyway! :o)
I made a jello cheese cake yesterday...I let PG lick the spatula, He really enjoyed it.... I wonder where he gets it from?

No monkey-ing around!

So, Derek is turning 2 and the party is today. I got to make the cake. Mindy said he is into Curious George...this was my best attempt!
OK, so it doesn't really look like Curious George but I had to post it because I think it look AWESOME!! I have been soooo excited since I finished the head last night! Then today I added the bananas! Hee Hee! Cake decorating classes payed off I guess! :o)

Rub-a-dub-dub and firefighters!

Rub-a-dub-dub, 3 boys in the tub!!
Since my sister had her baby on Monday, (YEAH!!! Welcome to the World little Tahlia!) I have her 2 boys. They are a handful, but fun to have around. PG has enjoyed the playmates! IN the morning we have breakfast then they take a bath. I had to get a pic of the "3 men in the tub and who do you think they be? The butcher, the baker and the candlestick maker" You can decide which is which! :o)
Then once we get life together we walk down to the park. It is called "firefighter's park" because it is right next to the firehouse. Well, today they had the latter truck out and were doing stuff so we went over to check things out. The firemen were VERY nice! The boys LOVED it!
Ashton got to wear his hat!
PG is all about the "GRUCK"!!!
All 3 climbed in for a few minutes...(ransom is behind PG)Here they are, the happy trio! Sitting on the truck with their cool new hats!
Thank you Firemen!

Alive and kicking!

I had my midwife appointment this morning... and I took a little video of the baby's heartbeat. That is my favorite thing about going to the CNM, hearing LIFE! I hope you enjoy it too!!
