My Little Graduate!

Today my little sister did one more thing to make me jealous! haha No really, I am so proud of her, she graduated at NIU.


Congrats Baby Sister!!!




My husband thinks it's cute to be silly for basically every photo.  I think he was mocking my pose. :)


What's a celebration without good food? :)  Love Niko's.  We had our rehearsal dinner there thanks to my awesome parents!


It's a tradition to have a Heidi's cake for celebrations.  If you are in the Geneva, IL area, I recommend trying their cakes!


Of course my gift to Allee was the first ultrasound picture of the Twins. I have been seeing my Doctor weekly to make sure they are progressing well.  Which they are,  Wednesday was an amazing day, I got to see the heartbeats.  I am counting down the hours until I get to see them again on the "Big Screen"

Happy Mother's Day

Today all the daughters, sons, mothers, grandchildren and fathers are recognizing the Mothers. 

Today is Mother's day.


We spent the day with my In-laws since we will be with my parents and family next weekend for my little sister's graduation.  I still hate not being able to do everything or see everyone on the days we'd like too.  It's so hard.


My brother-in-law managed to find one of the cutest cards for Jane. Ha ha, gotta love it.  He was doing the usual fishing charters which used to keep my hubby busy on weekends often too.  The boys love their fishing, and love it even more when they are making money at it.

We spent most of the day outside.  Even managed to find a bunny nest!  They were so cute, I had to sneak a peek.


I was a bit under the weather today, but still had to take my normal paparazzi pictures! 

How cute is my nephew in his new glasses!?!


We spent most of the day outside, but also went inside for some yummy food.  We were even surprised with a cake to celebrate our pregnancy... the Twin Blessings!



What a perfect 1st Mother's day.

It's a Jungle out there!!

Today I went to the Zoo with my In-Laws.... and a bunch of cutie pie nephews (nephew to-be).  My father in-law was lucky enough to carry our food cooler to the entrance where we rented a wagon. 


He deserves an award,  We packed that thing full!!!  It was supposed to be a rainy day, Instead it was gorgeous!


Yes we did see Lions, Tigers and Bears!!!




It was supposed to rain, but we lucked out and it was a gorgeous day.  We all laughed so much at the fact we seems to be stopping more to eat than seeing the animals!!! I was craving my burgers like normal!!


Ethan was able to get a dolphin to swim right up to his hand while viewing them.  Last time he was at the zoo, he got the Big Lion to walk up the glass.  His mother says, animals are atracked to him!! I agree.


Veronica and her little man, Simone posed for this cute picture!!


I tried many times to get a picture of all the boys looking at me!!



My pregnancy symptoms kicked into High Gear as we neared the Monkey House.  Outside of it, I could start to smell them but though I'd be fine.. Below is my sister in-law Julie, with one of her boys Owen.  Paparazzi Kait was taking pictures all day!! I had to get one of us "climbing" in the rain forest.


Once inside the first set of doors, I knew I would not last.  My sense of smell is so intense, I had to sprint through the house.  Of course, I shot a few pictures on the way.

There was babies!!!


And a baby bottle that some how made it's way into the Jungle!! 


It seemed to make quite a commotion.


The cutest couple reward??


There always has to be one grouchy pants at the zoo!  This one seemed to be it, he was pouting in a corner in the bottom.  He actually looked VERY scary.


After seeing that face, I was glad to run out the exit!!  Before I got nauseous too!!

The boys were easy to take single pictures of, and candid too!


Simone was a Snail eating a apple, and Ethan was a silly Lizard!  While Owen was happy just posing on the Frog, and Jake was the cutest Owl.


We found a baby Goose.  I was so excited!!!


Sassy little thing already!!


We saw so many animals, I got pictures of them all!  And even caught 2 giraffe's making babies! OMG!  That was interesting.  I have NO idea what the 3rd on was doing.




We also saw the laziest Rhino.  He couldn't even hold his head up while he ate.  I am also pretty sure that was poop on his horn! Ewwwww.  Did you know they all will spray urine at you to mark their territory. I saw one do it and ran out so fast!!!




Jane managed to get a group shot of all us kids... The boys were making silly faces for all of them of course.


Less than 1 week until I find out how many babies are in my belly, What do you think?  1 or more??

Happy Easter EveryBunny!!

I had to take a quick moment to say Happy Easter to all of my followers.


I have less than 24 hours until I find out if my procedure worked or not.  Anticipation is killing me.  Then I get to wait a bit longer to see exactly how many follicles were fertilized.  I had six mature enough to ovulate, could you imagine if all of them did?  Yikes!!


Ever Holiday I find myself making cupcakes.  I love to come up with or try different decorations with them.  Here are my "Easter Basket" cupcakes.


Didn't they turn out great!!!?!


We had a great Easter, Spent the morning having breakfast with my parents.  My mom got me the cutest card, Wait till you see the inside too!!!



She always finds the cutest stuff!  I love the flowers she gave me too!!!


Then, it was off to my In-Laws for some Easter Egg Hunts and more food!  Watching all the boys run around got me even more excited for tomorrow.





I was having a blast trying out my new lense.


Although not all of them were as thrilled.


I'm off to rest up for tomorrow's early appointment.  Stay tuned: I'll fill you in tomorrow how it goes!!! :)
