Love this weather!

Hey Graham Fans! Spring is really here! I love to go outside!! I ride in the wagon and sometimes we go to the park. There are some girls that live in the cul de sac that will let me play with them. I shoot baskets and play in their sandbox. One day I grabbed my soccer ball and walked down the street until I found a basketball hoop with a boy shooting some hoops. He didn't mind that I shot hoops too. I did try to run into their backyard, but Mom caught me. I am really fast anymore so it is harder for her to catch me!

A couple of weeks ago Daddy had some friends and lucky me there were friends for me too! Ethan, Elliana and I played while our dad's and some other guys watched the basketball games. We had so much fun! Daddy made barbecue and I ate a bunch of ribs and cole slaw. UMMM!
Last week was Easter and we went to Kansas city to see all of my family there. I got to play a lot outside at Nanny's, Grandpa's, and at Uncle Brad's. Grandpa and I played at his neighbor's house - they had lots of outdoor toys. Grandpa had to leap the fence (maybe I shouldn't tell that part). On Saturday, we dyed eggs at Nanny's house. That was fun! I tried to play with Nanny's dog Abby. I think I intimidate her or maybe she is just shy. We had lunch at Grandpa's house and played outside some more. I also chased Susan's cats - one lets me pet it. In the evening we went to Uncle Brad and Aunt Lisa's house for dinner. I played with Cousin Benjamin - he is younger so I tried to teach him some of my moves. He isn't able to climb the stairs like I can or run as fast. I am sure he will soon be running fast and cutting and weaving like me. We had fun playing! When we go home on Sunday, the Easter Bunny had left me a basket of goodies that included an Elmo DVD that I love, a race car, bubbles, and CANDY. M&M's are my favorite candy and fortunately the Easter Bunny knew that!
Mommy and I went to Uncle Greg's on Sunday. We even took Dakota. Uncle Greg has a cat and he has toy tractors so I got to chase the cat, lay in her bed AND play with a tractor that pulled a plow or a wagon. We went for a walk on the trail behind his house. When we got back, the neighbor boy was playing basketball outside. He had the coolest basketball hoop. It was high when I got there, but he cranked it down so it was closer to the ground. He or his mom would lift me up so I could make a basket. I would grab a ball and just keep backing up until they picked me up! They had a dog like Dakota but bigger. I had fun playing with them. Later at home, Daddy brought up my John Deere tractor and wagon to drive outside. I just don't know if the day could get any better!





37 weeks - holy cow!

The countdown is on! Today I hit 37 weeks which makes me full-term. Last week I started seeing the doctor every week. All continues to be well and the baby is where it is supposed to be. The baby continues to be very active. Sometimes I think it is trying to escape through the front of my stomach. We are getting ready for the Baby 2's arrival. I have washed some of G's clothes in case it is a boy as well as the washable portions of the carseat, swing and one of the bouny seats. Bassinet, crib, and pack and play linens. This week I plan to freeze a couple of casseroles. When I was putting the carseat back together, Graham kept saying 'baby'. If we talk about our baby, he will hug and kiss my stomach. We will see how well he does when it actually arrives. Not sure how many more posts there will be before the baby. Besides getting ready for baby, we just listed our house so keeping it clean with Graham is a challenge! Hopefully someone makes an offer before the baby arrives so we aren't juggling a newborn, toddler and weekly open houses!
