38 weeks along and ready to be done!

Here I am 9 months pregnant with each of my girls. (Brighty was not supposed to be in the picture with me, she just decided to sneak in at the last minute.) 

 I SO wish I had the same type of picture when I was pregnant with Brandon. It is funny to see the difference in my belly size...I know the angle and my stance play a big role though.

I am excited to only have 10 days left. We cannot wait to see who this baby looks like. 

Next Friday come quick!!!

This picture was taken close to when I found out we were expecting, (hence the "stick"I'm holding) and the other one was taken today... at 38 weeks. I can't wait to add a third picture to this collage, one of me holding the baby. :)

Brandon turns 10!

To celebrate Brandon turning ten, Grammy rented a big water slide! The cousins had so much fun all day. The birthday boy wanted spaghetti and garlic bread, so we got yummy Spaghetti Eddies for the party. It was such a fun day!

On May 12th (his actual birthday) we celebrated at Nana's with the family.

Ice cream for breakfast, oh yeah!

He had a special request for pineapple cake. He even helped design it! So yummy!

This year, May 12 was also Mother's Day, so we had a great time celebrating all of us moms (especially Nana) and my big boy. 

 On Monday Brandon took this treat to share with his class. Its a "10" out of twix and chocolate dounts. 

It's crazy to me that I have a ten year old child. Where did the time go?! Sure do love my boy.

Fun Pictures :)

I take a bazillion pictures. Here are just a few that I love from the beginning of May.

After school ice cream with Brandon's friend.

Here Brighty has a baby in her tummy just like mommy. ;)

Having fun at a Cub Scout Pack Meeting.

No she really didn't start potty training yet...she is very interested but mommy is too tired to begin the process at 9+ months preggo! Ha!

Becca is a Missionary!!!

I still can't believe that Becca is really an official missionary and will be serving the Lord for 18 months in Manchester, New Hampshire. She is amazing and such a great example! 

At Becca's farewell open house, Brighty found a cute little fountain that was just her size...

to swim in apparently. ;)

 I made lobster shaped sugar cookies for the open house. She will be serving in some parts of Maine, hence the lighthouse and lobster theme. So fun!!

 Angie made the cutest and yummiest cupcakes! 

 This was the last time many of us got to see Becca before she left. It was such a bittersweet day. We all sure do love that girl!!

This sweet sweet picture makes me cry every time I look at it. Brandon will miss his cousin and friend. He looks up to Becca so much and wants to go on a mission when he turns 18 because of her example. :)
