A few weeks ago I bought some flip flops for Devy at a garage sale for only 1 dollar!! They are way cute but I had to figure out a way to keep them on her feet.





























I had to sew the elastic on the shoes and now she wears them ALL THE TIME! She loves them and I love that they are way easy to put on!

Cinco De Mayo

One of my friends hosted a Cinco De Mayo party and there were quite a few people that showed up. There were burritos with those you-cook shells! They were AMAZING! The meat was soo good. There was a TON of food and a pinata for the little kids! We all had a lot of fun.

29 Weeks

29 weeks!!
So... I know that I am 30 weeks and 4 days but here is the latest.
My life so far...
I love being pregnant... Yes I do! Really! I know I am sick a lot and tired A LOT and I have weird cravings... But it comes with the territory. Granted I DID NOT like the morning sickness but other than that I really enjoy feeling a little life inside of me. I really enjoy bonding with this little guy and knowing that one day he will be my official son! I am so excited to kiss his little face and and will play all day.

He will bring SO MUCH joy to our family. As CRAZY as it sounds, I am SO excited to have a "little Lance" running around our house. He was SUCH a cute little guy and from our ultrasound our little Lucas looks exactly like his Daddy. (Go figure right?) Our daughter doesn't even look like me though so it is to be expected. I definitely don't have the dominant genes here...

Also I am so happy to announce that I have solved the problem of neighbors that still have their kid in their bedroom that keeps me up all night (nothing against them, I am just a REALLY REALLY light sleeper) and the STINKIN BIRDS that chirp right outside me STINKIN window starting at 4 am. Yes and they chirp ALL DAY! SERIOUSLY PEOPLE if I wasn't afraid of guns or if we had bullets for the one Lance owns I would have shot them!

But good thing it didn't have to come to that since.... drum roll please... I bought EAR PLUGS!!!
AMAZING!!! I have never had much luck with ear plugs but I guess the ones I bought really do work! I didn't hear the baby OR the birds last night or this morning. It was great to actually sleep through the night (until Lance's alarm clock went on at 5am and then every 5 minutes after that...) By that time, one have fallen out and so I had my ear on the pillow that didn't have the earplug in...

Pella

A couple weeks ago Devy and I went to Pella with a group of girls from my apartment complex.  People kept stopping us and asked if we were there for a child competition or something.  It was really funny.  We got there right as Devy was supposed to go down for a nap so that is why she isn't smiling in any of them.  Oh well, it was still fun!

For those of you who don't know, Pella was settled by the Dutch and so the little town is full of pretty windmills and fun little dutch shops.  The town has a 3 day festival called the Tulip festival and the whole town is FULL of gorgeous tulips.  We were able to take some pictures and eat some yummy Dutch treats.
