March Happenings

The month of March brought nicer, warmer days, as well as some busy weekends. My childhood friend Audrey had a baby shower the first weekend in March. She was expecting her first child in April, a girl whose name would be Annabelle Marilyn. Her middle name Marilyn is after Audrey's sweet grandma Marilyn who passed away from cancer. It was so nice catching up with her and our other friends. It was also the first time seeing my best friend Amy pregnant. She is expecting twins and it was so nice to see her smile and happy after the long awaiting to get pregnant. Here are some pictures from that day.

Our weekends during the month of March were spent watching the North Daviess Cougars basketball team. They were fortunate to win Sectional at home, win Regional at Loogootee, but just come up short at the Southport Regional against the eventual State Champion. Our team wasn't expected to win the sectional, so it was great to see them work as a team and go all the way to Semi-State. Great season Cougars!

Even though we would have loved to go to State to cheer on the Cougars, the next weekend I went with my parents and sisters (Bill had to work :( ) to my nephew Braeden's basketball game. He is in a league for 6-7 year olds and he has improved so much over the year. We ate lunch at Texas Roadhouse on the way up, watched his game, and stopped at Sam's on the way home. Here are some pictures of my growing nephew.

Valentine's Surprise

Trying to catch up on blogging is easier said then done! There is so much going on in life and pregnancy tiredness has taken over. Here's to updating this blog and getting is as close to up-to-date as possible!

Valentine's Day was nothing special for Bill and I this year. The day was during the week, so we went to Evansville the Saturday before and went to Outback and ate. On the actual day, we just exchanged cards. I did get Bill a massage and he got me some roses. We did decide to go out to eat at Pizza Hut! Romantic I know, but it actually sounded good to this pregnant woman! But before we went to town, we stopped by his mom's to see our great niece in her Valentine outfit that we had got her before she was born. Miss Aubrey looked adorable!

A little blurry, but cute as ever!

We got a little smile out of her!

Not sure why this picture didn't turn, but we put the headband on her head that I got her too! She is such a happy baby!

That night Bill took our Lucy out to potty before bedtime and she wanted to go one way and he went the other and broke the plastic part on her collar. So the next day he had to go to the pet store and get her a new one. Well, while he was there, he say they had a boxer pup for sale. If anyone knows Bill, they know he has always wanted a boxer. So he sent me a text and some pictures and we discussed it. I really couldn't resist not giving this sweet little guy a home, especially with all of my pregnancy hormones. So we went from not having any dogs to 2 dogs and a baby within a year and a half! Bill brought home Max that night and here are some pictures of Max's first bath and Lucy trying to figure out who is taking up her space!
