18 weeks and Big girl bed

Here I am at 18 weeks. I'm glad I look pregnant in this picture because once I put on regular clothes I just look CHUBBY. Haha, I sure pregnant lady has felt that way.



Since the crib will have a new occupant before too long we decided it was time to put Brookie in a big girl bed. The first couple days were a bit bumpy. Here is a picture of how exhausted Brooklyn was after throwing an I'm-not-going-to-stay-in-here tantrum. I've been pleasantly surprised at how well she transitioned after she learned that she might as well just stay put.


I put up a few new decorations to go with the consignment store furniture and new bed. Fun stuff :)

My Mackenzie

Today she told me "If you want me to be nice to you and not yell at you, then you need to go to the store and get me lunchables right now."

Wow, time for me to go buy every parenting book stocked at Barnes and Noble.

YAY!

We accepted an offer on our house in Iowa. We are supposed to close on May 15, so let's all keep our fingers crossed until then.

Easter 2010

We were able to get away to St. George for Easter this year. Mackenzie kept asking why we can't live there. We all had a great time celebrating Easter, relaxing, and watching conference (or trying to). Robert's sister and her husband's family were down there too which was a bonus for my girls who adore their cousins.

Here are my girls at our neighborhood egg hunt:

And with Hallie and Livi:


The Easter Bunny found us in St. George and here's the video


The Dunn's grandma was nice enough to paint Mackenzie into a butterfly. Brookie got some stars on her cheek and kept asking to look in the mirror again.
