Jacob's 22nd Birthday

We drove down to NC to see Jacob and Karli for his birthday and to take down some furniture they had gotten at IKEA a few weeks before and a dining room set that my friend Bobbie had given them. We had a great time visiting them. We even took L'il Bit with us. She wasn't too sure about the ride at first, but once we had driven long enough that she decided we weren't taking her to the vet, she settled down.

 Karli made him a homemade raspberry cake

 So serious! LOL!

 Always knew he was a blow-hard! :-D

Doesn't this look yummy - believe me it was!

Modeling his birthday present from us.

He is ready to go turkey hunting with friends now!

The next day we went to a Maternity Fair at the base hospital. They picked up a lot of information pamphlets and such and we got to take a tour of the Labor and Delivery Floor. I received one of the hats the tour guide showed us that the baby will wear when they go home. Love it!

Isn't this just the cutiest thing!

Going into week #26

Red Hat Busy Bees March Luncheon

I love hosting our luncheons in March and coming up with something special to celebrate St. Patty's Day. This year I came across this cute idea thanks to my LNSDemosonly online group. It originated from www.ourbestbites.com

Karli's Baby Bump - Week 24

This picture was taken at Caleb's birthday party on Mar. 3. She is right at 24 weeks along.

This one was taken a few weeks earlier when they were home.

I have already started buying little girl baby clothes and having so much fun doing so. I had taken Karli out to buy maternity clothes right after taking this picture (she is wearing one outfit it the top picture) and of course we came home with some outfits for the baby as well. Forgot to take pictures of those. Need to do so when I go see them. :-) I have picked up a few things since then and am putting them away to make a basket for the shower. So much fun!

Happy 2nd Birthday, Caleb!

We got to go and celebrate with Caleb for his 2nd birthday. We had such a good time seeing him, Jake, Roxie & Ken and Ken's sister, Lynn and her family again. This time Jacob & Karli were home, so they got to go as well.

Roxie made this adorable Elmo head cake for him. Can you tell he likes Elmo!

Ken couldn't light the candle fast enough for Caleb to blow it out before Jake would. He finally gave it up. Caleb didn't seem to notice that it wasn't him that blew it out.

Caleb was so cute opening his presents. He would tear off one little piece of paper at a time and hand it to Roxie or Karli. Jake was getting very impatient and wanted to assist, but we got him to let his little brother do it by himself. He got excited over each and every one of his gifts. He was just soooo cute!

 Handing some wrapping paper to Karli

 This is the bag I decorated for his present from us. We gave him some dinosaurs and an orange polo shirt with a dinosaur on it.

 This was his BIG present! All the kids took turns on it. I believe Caleb was the last one to get to test it out.

He had a lot of fun playing with Karli.
