j-u-m-p

Let me just start out by saying how completely awesome of a neighborhood we live in and even more awesome than that is our wonderful neighbors!

One of our neighbors, whom we have grown really close with and consider some of our closest friends, gave us their trampoline when they were gifted a new one...om, seriously???

They asked us if we wanted it and then they brought it over and put it in the yard without even telling us.  We were and are ecstatic about it!

Caleb has woken up every morning since we got it and the first thing he says is, "Can I jump on trampoline?"

He has spent quite of bit of this week jumping...and begging me to jump with him.

  I so wish I could! 

I didn't ask my doctor if I could, but I'm fairly certain just by going off of common sense, that it would be a definite no.

 I LOVE trampolines...but at least now I know how I'm going to get this baby weight off :)

Here's my little grasshopper...

There's a lot of silliness going on around here.

30 second break

Did I mention it's been in the 70's all week???

He jumped until it was dark and then got to jump with daddy!

We LOVE our trampoline...and so do all the neighborhood kids ;-)

Happy Weekend to you!

Surprise!!!

We are part of a small group with our church here.

Wednesday, they majorly surprised me! 

I walked into what I thought was Bible study night but really I walked into all of this!!!

They threw me a surprise baby shower!!!

With rain showers and rainbows...I think they did a GREAT job since they don't know if I'm having a boy or girl...such a cute, cute idea!

The food was great and adorable.

Especially these awesome cupcakes.

We sent the boys off to eat and all the ladies stayed around for the fun!

Gotta love the diaper candy bar game :)

Yummy!

I was definitely showered with great gifts and wonderful friends.

My first genuine surprise party and I WAS surprised! 

 If I had a clue this was going on, I would have fixed my hair and wore something nicer...haha.  

It was a blast and I am so blessed to have such a great small group!

Peanut Butter Crackers

Since I can remember, my dad's all time favorite snack has been peanut butter crackers...well that and raisins.

Ever since Caleb spent a few days by himself with my parents (he calls them "Cack Cack" and "Ma"), he has a newfound love for peanut butter crackers too...and now I know why. 

 I caught the two in action...

This one makes me laugh...especially Caleb's, "Cack Cack, what are you doing???" face.

Those crazy cracker heads

Photoshop Dabble

Seth bought me photoshop back in the fall...of course it was something I had been wanting badly for a few years.

I finally got it!

There was only one problem...I had NO idea how to use it!

So, I decided that it's time to start dabbling with figuring it out.

This will take years, seriously.  There are SO many things to learn and SO many possibilities.

But I had to start somewhere.

Here are 3 pictures I fooled with this morning.

The top picture is the original picture and the bottom is the photoshop edited version.

I found some great tips on Pinterest that helped me get started.

Do you use Photoshop?

What has been your best source for learning how to use it?

33 Weeks- Photoshoot

I have missed you all!

We had a very busy weekend traveling up to Virginia to pick up Caleb and spend a little (very little) time with our families.

While we were there, my mom took these pictures of me and I will just treasure them forever.

Some of them are funny and some of them are sweet...with lots of belly hearts :)

I'm so happy to be back.

With a big belly...that's only getting bigger.

Filled with a baby that I am sure is trying to kick and punch his/her way out.

I love those kicks :)
