We had a great Easter this year. Ella woke up early to find eggies and her basket. She had told us for about a month before that the Easter bunny was going to bring her Barbie in a Mermaid Tale movie. She was very excited when she found that in there, and also some Tinkerbell bubble bath. She loves taking baths especially when she has lots, and lots of bubbles. Then we went to my parents and had a big easter egg hunt with all the cousins and ate lots of food. We didn't do much but it is always nice to relax and hang out with family. We missed our other family down in St. George this year, but we will for sure be there next year!
We took one last quick trip down to St. George to visit everyone. Zach had training from Monday to Thursday so he finally got a weekend off. The drive was a little too long for me this time, but we definitely had a lot of fun seeing everyone. Ella always loves going to Grandma Keri's house. She knows that there is going to be lots of toys, books, and all the attention on her. Can't wait to see everyone again when the baby gets here.
Zach celebrated his 25th birthday last Wednesday! I told him that it is down hill from there, since I would know because I am so old according to him. Ella and I woke up and made him some French Toast. Then we went to go do something fun, but instead got stuck in a huge hail and rain storm. So we went to In-n-Out and ate lunch. Then that night we went to Lonestar Steakhouse so Zach could get a steak. It was a great day even though all we really did was eat, but let's be honest who doesn't love to eat! I got Zach some tickets to the AMA Supercross at Rice Eccles for Saturday, so that is when we will be doing our big birthday date/last date before the baby comes.
Ella has been busy growing up and being such a big girl. She sometimes acts like she is 16, but is reminded quickly that she is not in charge. She knows lots of songs, loves to read books, can spell her name, tries to write her name, talks about going to dance and school everyday, comes up with new sayings everyday. Her latest one was to Zach she said, "Daddy is this really necessary?" She is definitely a really smart girl and full of energy sometimes I don't know how to keep up with her. We love her more and more everyday and can't wait to see her as a big sister. I know she will be so good with her baby brother, and help him so much!
I have just been working and trying to last until next month. I am now to the uncomfortable, can't sleep, breath, sit, bend over, nothing fits, etc. stage. I have also had a lot of Braxton-hicks contractions, some are worse then others, but nothing consistent. I also start my weekly appointments this week which means I am going to start getting checked (the fun part.) Let's hope all the contractions, and walking I have been doing are helping me progress. I am excited for this little guy to join us, but also get nervous about having two kids. Zach is really excited for him to come, he asks Ella everyday if she is excited for baby brother. Ella is excited, but also thinks baby sister is coming, I am a little scared what is going to happen when it is just baby brother and not baby sister.
Other than working and preparing for this little guy to join our family we haven't been up too much. I will try to be better about posting.
