And a girl with attitude!

My personal favorites

Anniversary Party/Easter

Hey all!
Today is Easter! We hope that everyone has enjoyed their weekend! It's been a very cold one for us with a high of only 35 degrees yesterday and today but we managed to feel springy!
My Mother and Father in law celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary last night with a wonderful family party at Kennedy's at Stone Creek. It was very beautiful and so wonderful to get to spend time with the ENTIRE family! My brother in law, Timm, took lots of family portraits that I hope to have soon, but I managed to snap a few shots.. (okay, mainly Evie and her cousin, Joel).
All of us girls had our hair done up for the party.. so you'll see a few of Evie's hair and everyone looked their best.

Then, today, we all got together for Easter dinner and also celebrated Evie's 4th birthday, so there are a few pictures of Evie's cake, etc.
There are 21 pictures in all so I decided to make it a slideshow so that it would take up less room on the blog.. If there are any pictures that you want sent to you directly, let me know!

HAPPY EASTER!

Good Friends and The Easter Bunny!

Hey all! I finally got around to putting a couple of my pictures from our playgroup at the park online! Evie, (who prefers to be called EVELYN now), had a nice time at the park the other day.. Here she is with her best friend, Brynn, then with her "boyfriend" Brayden, eating ice cream, then with her friend, Tyler.. they took turns burying each other in the sand... Tyler did an amazing job covering her feet and legs! We stayed out way too long and she had sunburned arms when we got home, but it wasn't bad enough for her to complain (or even notice it herself).

Then yesterday, we went to see the Easter Bunny! She just LOVES the bunny!

Belly shot 22 weeks

Thought I'd share the changes I have made in 5 weeks time! This first pic was me at 17 weeks...

Now at 22 weeks...

I figured I was slacking in my pics, it's been 5 weeks since I first showed the tummy. (Kylla was brave enough to show her bare belly.. that aint happenin' here!) LOL

Easter/Birthday pics from Picture People

Got some pics done today! I just love my little model!

Sonogram today.. What gender, you ask?

So it's official!
I'm having a boy... I soooo love little girls but am somewhat relieved that it's gonna be a boy. I don't want to have to share my "Princess" affections with another girlie.. I'll love my boy just as much.. but I know it will be different.
I'm at 20 1/2 weeks.. I'm over halfway done!
Hope everyone is enjoying the wonderful weather! It's 80 degrees right now here in Illinois... pretty amazing considering we had one of our worst blizzards two weeks ago. It's supposed to rain and cool back down to the 40's starting tomorrow though.. I knew it wouldn't last :o( But Evie and I enjoyed our day today. We had our doctors appointment, then went to the mall to play for about an hour.. then to "Za's" for Pizza with Daddy.. then to the park to play with all of her friends and THEN (I know.. we were busy), to get ice cream with her friends Brynn and Aidan. Now she's asleep and I'm on my way to do that as well! I'll marinate some steaks first so that they'll be tasty tonight when I toss them on the grill!
What a lovely day!
I'm on the hunt for origional boy names! (Haven't thought of one yet) Joe and I keep jokingly throwing our favorite names out there .. Ones that we would NEVER use.. I keep saying "Joaquin" and he keeps saying "Anakin" LOL Too funny!

Send your names to me !!!!

Enjoy the rest of your day!-Tina
