While the cats are away......

Lucy, our babysitter and friend, brought her son, Evan over to have fun while we were gone to the sox game!!

Fenway

 Kat and Carmen, my OLD college roomies, were in town! We caught a Red Sox game with them! Fun Fun! We were in home run territory but of course nothing came close to me!!

 I love date nights with the hubby and then throw hanging out with some old friends.....we had a great time!

 Cara and Al were there with their hubbies as well! If we didn't have to pay a sitter we would have hung out longer!! We had a great night! This might be our last night out before the twins arrive!

BFF

Kaitlyn and Vanessa sat back and enjoyed Conner's soccer game!! Conner scored 5 goals! He is just amazing out there! So fun to watch! Tim was coaching this game which is fun to watch as well!

32 weeks

 Introducing baby B! She is the only one that will cooperate with a a profile shot! Baby A is wedged down ready to burst out of S into our arms and boy it is going to be fun!

 Doesn't Stephanie look great? Her belly measures that of a full term pregnancy! The babies are amazing! They have grown like champs! Baby A is huge! She is already 5 1/2 pounds (bigger than K at 35 1/2 weeks)! Baby B is almost there as well! She is 4 1/2 pounds! They both are doing great! The doc doesn't think they will make it past 35 weeks! I am praying they stay in until 36 +. The doc will induce at 37 weeks if they haven't made their appearance!

They checked Stephanie while we were there! She is 2 cm dialated ( you can stay like this for awhile) 70% effaced (which is great! 100% means that is as thin as the cervix gets---paper thin) and at -2 station! She her body is getting ready!

 Stephanie is doing great but the end of pregnancy stuff is starting to get to her! Please pray for her to be able to sleep!!! She also has swelling of her hands and feet!! No blood pressure problems or anything else just aches and pains of twin pregnancy! She has done amazingly well and is taking great care of our little blessings!

Friends

Friends for life! These two are so fun to watch goof off together!

Baby Brunch

 A friend from work through me a shower at her lake house! This was an awesome setting and te weather turned out unbelieveable!!!! She is the hostest with the mostest for sure!!! I didn't get enough pics! There were about 25 people celebrating with me but can you believe I didn't get a pic of the group!! I am pretty upset about that!

 Twice as Nice!!! So blessed to work with great ladies and very generous ladies!!!

 The food was crazy good!!

 One of my buddies and her grand baby who I got to take care of as a newborn!!

 Check it out!!! Beer on tap! They brew their own! Nothing like a shower with mimosas and craft beer!

 My amazing shower thrower, Kris!

 The ladies!

 Kris, the shower thrower, also made me these two hat and two absolutely beautiful blankets!!

 Here is some of the loot!!!! Blessed!

birthday & mom's day

 What a great day! I am most abundantly blessed! God has granted me another year!! So grateful! So blessed to be a mommy as well! Best thing ever!!!

 Guess what kind of cake??? My all time favorite.... Baskin Robbin's choc chip ice cream cake!! LOVE  IT! Dangerous!!!

Citizen's academy

 This was the kid's first trip to the citizen's academy! they totally enjoyed themselves! Eye and hearing protection worn at all times and the bullet proof vests were used in the shoot house! This would be a kids dream come true!

 don't I have some cute law enforcers???

 Conner was practicing with the ram! He is going to bust down some doors!

 The SWAT team arrives!

 Sheild protection

 I got to practice my shot with the hang gun and riffle! My first shot landed in the bullseye! Here is my target for proof! Zoom in! I am proud. All of my bullets would have hit the right spot but when i started out with the riffle I wasn't looking at the proper site! Oh well...next time!

Tulips

These are a few of the tulips that have grown from the bulbs Tim brought back from Amsterdam! They are beautiful!

Sleep over

The C kid's father has been in the hospital after a double knee replacement! He has had a really rough recovery! We had the kids over after school on a monday so their mom could catch up on things! We walked home on a beautiful day! We played and sewed and goofed off! Then the kids were quiet! They were coming up with a plan!

 They made a list of rules that they promised to follow if they spent the night! I originally said no but then even though it was a school night I thought it would be better than the coming friday! So Tim convienced me it would be okay! The kids did a cheer for Tim after!

Let's just say this was probably their first sleep over at someone's house other than family! So you guessed it at 1030 pm ( Conner was out like a light) I ended up taking the three kids home! Oh well we tried!

Stephanie has been super woman lately! She is swelling and tired! It won't be long! The babies look great!!

Made it into the 30's!!!

Okay now it is getting really real!! I even packed a diaper bag tonight! Trying to get all of our stuff to TX is not going to be easy! Trying to figure when and how to get there and what to bring and all the logistics of work and school! This definitely isn't easy!

Go Brewers!!!

Tim is actually one of the assistant coaches again this year but of course he missed the team picture again!

 Here is Zippy with a few of his friends from the other team!

Our little catcher!

 He crushed it and is heading to first! SAFE!!!

On his way to third!

 The older siblings just hanging out! Friends since kindergarten!! They even asked if it was okay to take a "little walk" around the field together! :0)

She did it!!

Kaitlyn is not the most aggressive soccer player on the field but today was a complete turn around! She did so AWESOME!!!!! She even scored! She attacked the ball and did not give up!! I was one proud  mamma! (this pic is from last week and you believe I didn't get a pic of today? I was so into the game I didn't even think about it)
