art festival

We went to our downtown art festival back in March. We normally just walk around and then eat a snack from the yummy vendors. But this year, they had a kids area where they could make crafts for free. Of course, all our kids wanted was a cowboy hat and Kole didn’t even want one of those! They also got some balloon animals and after the second one popped, we decided to go eat a snow cone and call it a day!

BOY or GIRL? take two!

When I was about 30 weeks pregnant with Presley I took a bunch of online quizzes to see what they said about the sex of the baby. Here’s the post. Of course, I never believe any of them. I think it’s just a fun thing to do! I took the exact ones again this time. Only two were correct with her, because she is obviously a girl! (: So I wonder if these are right? I know!! (; But everyone has to wait a little bit longer to find out! 11 days to be exact! We’re going to do a gender reveal party of sorts. We’re just getting my family and his mom together for dinner and then have a cake with blue or pink in the middle!

We had our anniversary dinner Saturday night and we found out then! It’s exciting to know because I’ll enjoy being able to do the nursery specifically for a boy or girl this time. Not to mention having clothes washed and ready to wear! Oh and being able to buy monogrammed stuff, of course! (= Everybody but me thinks it is/wants a boy. I’ve only had one dream about the sex, and it’s been a girl. So, we’ll see soon!

• Maternity clothes? I’m rocking the bella band with my regular pants and a few maternity tops
• Stretch marks? none, yet! My stomach is getting itchy so they might be coming.

• Best moment this week: cookout with my family, and fun kid-free shopping with Karri!
• Miss Anything? not having heartburn
• Movement: yes! (: not really strong yet, but I notice them more frequently.
• Food cravings: nothing in particular
• Food aversions: pretty much anything raw when I’m cooking. Raw chicken and uncooked ground beef grosses me out. I’m ok to eat it though once it’s cooked. It’s weird
• Gender: ???? We find out this week! (: Presley thinks it’s a boy and so does everyone else, so we’ll see!
• Labor Signs: none thank goodness

• Looking forward to: finding out the gender this week! My anatomy ultrasound is scheduled for Thursday morning. We have decided to have the u/s tech just write down the gender for us and we will open it at our anniversary dinner on Saturday night. We found out alone with Presley (we were the only two in the delivery room) and we want to find out alone with this one too!

NAS trip

The first day of spring break was crazy rainy so we decided to spend the day at the Naval Air Station museum. Unfortunately the rest of Pensacola had the same idea and it was insanely packed! We still had a good time though. They loved seeing all the planes and playing in the kids area. I always love seeing the movies they have on IMAX, but we didn’t do that this time. We ate at the little café there and it was delicious. I don’t remember it being that good before! I think it’s pretty amazing that we live so close to the home of The Blue Angels!

Kole wasn’t feeling the picture with the planes. She wanted my mom to hold her instead of Presley!

The one on the right cracks me up! Kole decided to fly like a plane! (:

This one was much better…all smiles! Of course the only picture of Presley and I turned out super blurry. Glad we got a bunch of my mom and the kids though!

Oh I love these munchkins! (:

cupcakes and a quick trip to the park

Presley was being very quiet in the kitchen one day and this is what I discovered when I found her! She was being a good little Mommy and feeding her baby cupcakes! (:

We have a walking trail that runs right by our house. It’s super nice and leads to a cute little playground that we like to visit. My only complaint is that it has no lighting, so you have to be headed home before it gets dark. Anyway, these are some pictures from a time in January that we went. Notice how Presley is dressed? We had some crazy “winter” weather this year! I’m really hoping it gets cold enough to actually cool off from the summer heat this year.
