Hannah's Birthday

Hannah turned 3 on March 15. We celebrated a couple of times. First on Sunday we had a swimming party with a ice cream cake from Dairy Queen (below) and then on wednesday night we just did presents with cake and ice cream. Cake made by Hannah's grandma F. and decorated byt Aunt Leah. (above) As you can see the theme was princess. Hannah was so excited it was her birthday. This was the first year she understood it was her birthday and what the party was about. Her Papa and grandma Fedders, aunt leah and friend Isaac came to visit for a week for her birthday. Hannah was so excited to have them and sad that they had to leave.

Hannah got her first official bike from her Grandma and Grandpa G.

Spring Fever!

Our children are restless for spring and being able to play outside. Here is a picture of them wrestling on the floor. One afternoon and evening all they did was run around the house and make a mess. They kept asking to play outside but it was too windy.
Solution: play in the garage where they are out of the wind and I can keep an eye on them. Here is Hannah riding her bike in the garage.

Hannah and Daniel playing in a little Dora playhut/sandbox that I got for Hannah for her birthday. Something for them to do in the garage as well. So probably at least once a day they like to go play in the garage and burn some energy.

March 2

Hannah is doing her nebulizer and Daniel decided to crawl in the chair and sit by her.
Daniel pushing his tractor around. He is starting to make vroom noises when he pushes cars around too - this is the first time I had seen him pushing the tractor around.

Trip to California & Bunk beds

Hannah and Daniel got new bunk beds. We did this cause the room was too small to have two twin beds in it. Daniel is not sleeping in it yet but will be by the time the baby comes. But Hannah loves sleeping on top.
Hannah's first build-a-bear experience. She is getting it for her birthday from great grandma and grandpa Gaalswyk.

Decided last minute to take a quick trip to california. My sister-in-law wanted to go to look for baby furniture and asked me and the kids to go. We thought we were flying in Pakka's (donny's grandpa) airplane but we soon found out that since his plane is not pressurized that us pregnant girls could not fly due to the possibility it might break our waters. So we drove 10hrs one way, leaving Tuesday a.m. and return Friday p.m. but she got her furniture bought and the great grandparents loved seeing the kids. And they are pretty good travelers since we do it so much. Here is picture of them in the van.

Snowmobiling

Sunday we went snowmobiling and took Hannah and Daniel. It was their first time for both of them to go. We tried to take hannah when she was about 9 months and she screamed the whole time so I ended up sitting in the pickup with her. But yesterday was a beautiful day. The sun was shining and no wind. So they were both perfect. Daniel slept most of the time. There is probably 10 feet of snow where we were. Hope you have a good Valentine's day this week!

Changes

Today is a beautiful day. I walked outside with the kids in the stroller at 10 am. It was 40 degrees already. Finally the snow is melting and it isn't snowing more. We have had record snow fall for us in the valley here this winter. Here are the kids in the bathtub. They usually always take a bath together and sometimes my floor is wetter than they are.


Here is my climbing boy. Alot of people ask me how I am feeling with this pregnancy and I am feeling fine pregnant wise but I am getting nervous for the third to come and have 2 boys. Daniel is all boy and into everything as you can see. So it makes me nervous for the baby coming. I will definately be busy. He is also a big boy now because he uses sippy cups. No more bottles.


I started taking a medical terminology course online to get a certificate for medical transcriptionists. So I have been studying alot lately. Donny walked into the living room one night and found Hannah like this and busted up laughing cause she looked just like me studying. Pretty Funny! She is also well on her way to being potty trained. We have been working at it for 4 weeks. A slow process when she is stubborn:)
