Painting the nursery

We are finally getting things done. Jeff painted the nursery on Thursday and it looks so good. We chose a lavender color called One Enchanted Evening, it's from the Disney line, can you tell by the name?? :-) It is a beautiful color and it reminds me of purple cotton candy! The dogs enjoyed "helping" in their own special way and they both ended up with patches of paint in their fur! We ordered our new carpet today, and it will be installed the 2nd week of April, so after that we can finally unpack the crib and stuff. FUN!


Proud papa!






Caesar is so excited by the new paint he has to howl about it!

Ashley's first game

Ashley had her first soccer game this weekend. Her and Lincoln hunted for Easter eggs, got their faces painted, and met the Easter bunny in the morning, and then it was off to the game! Jeff snapped some good action shots of her during the game, she did a great job!

HAILEY

Jeff and I have decided to change the way we were going to spell Hailee's name to HAILEY. We did it for a couple different reasons, we just wanted to let people know so they wouldn't be confused. I am going to leave all the older posts with the incorrect spellings because I'm lazy :-) Her middle name will remain the same, Teresa.

B.O.B

Where to start? I first heard about the B.O.B from a co-worker who raved about it. When Jeff and I started looking at strollers we weren't too impressed, they seemed bulky, heavy, and a pain in the butt to close. While out shopping, I saw a few B.O.B's cruising around the mall. They looked sporty and comfortable, so as soon as I got home I started doing research on the B.O.B (Jeff and I research EVERYTHING, we are nerds at heart!). Anyway, long story short. We found that the B.O.B will accommodate Hailee (it's compatible with an infant seat!) and our lifestyle for many years to come, much longer then a regular stroller will...soooooooooo, with the help of our dividend check from REI, and a 20% off coupon, we were able to get an awesome deal on the B.O.B. I can't wait to get Hailee in it to go for walks around the neighborhood!

Spoiled much?

It's rough being a dog in the MacDonald household...Caesar and Moose rule the roost and they enjoy all the human benefits, sleeping on the couch, sleeping in our bed...That pretty much sums up a day in their life! Caesar loves to curl up under our down comforter, as you can tell from the picture!

Ashley and Lincoln

I have been meaning to add pictures of my adorable niece and nephew on here forever, so here are some recent pics of them. Honestly, could they be any cuter? Ashley will be playing in her first soccer game this weekend, so there will be more pictures to come. In the pictures, Lincoln is helping his dad put together his little bicycle. Too cute!

Shout out to one of my favorite blog fans...

Yes Jamie Maupin, you can touch my belly! That means we have to get together soon for Tino's!! Hailee loves Italian food!

25 weeks

Wow, 25 weeks already. Time is flying by, July is just around the corner! Although I am beginning to wonder just how big is my belly going to get? Sleeping is getting a bit more uncomfortable and I am having some back aches, but nothing too bad! I still really enjoy my sleep!

Congrats Michelle, R.N.!

My friend Michelle graduated from the Nursing program at Skagit Valley College tonight! She will be working at Skagit Valley Hospital as a Progressive Critical Care Nurse. Exciting!! The graduation was really nice, but unfortunately, I forgot my camera at home so I didn't get any pictures! SAD! Congrats Michelle, you are going to be an amazing nurse.

Michelle also gave me a gift tonight, it was a Christmas gift, so that tells you how long it's been since we have seen each other! It's a great preggo relaxation package! Complete with massaging slippers, dill pickles (Michelle's favorite!), chocolate, bath bombs and a therapeutic wrap! Everything is great and I can't wait to get in to the slippers! Thanks Michelle!
