Happiest of Springs to everyone!
Based on the fact that it's been 5 months since my last post, I'd say life is keeping me pretty busy. ;) However, I'm gratefully wrapping up nearly 2 weeks off from work for Spring Break 2015! Whoohoo!!
So what wild shenanigans did I get into over break? Well, I spent quality time with Shane and the kiddos, worked out, ate, napped, fixed up Baby #3's nursery, got an overdue mani/pedi, did a ton of shopping, ate some more, and just did all I could to unwind from the working mom life. I'll return on Monday for roughly a month, and then I go on official maternity leave until mid-September. This means only one thing--- baby will be here SOON!!!
Overall the pregnancy has been kind to me, as has Shane and the kiddos. We're definitely all getting excited to welcome our newest and final addition. Kylie goes back-and-forth on whether she thinks it's a boy or girl, but we get the impression she'd like another brother. (She wants to remain the Princess of the house...;). Sammy, well... he has shifted from poking my belly button and saying "Baby! Hahah!" to giving my ever-growing belly LOTS of smooches! Such a sweetie, he is!
Both Kylie and Sammy have made some HUGE strides over the last few months. Kylie is using the potty like a big girl now (although we're still working out some kinks with #2... ;), as well as just dominating all her academics at daycare. She's our extremely bright one! We're thinking she'll be enrolled in school sooner than later just to keep her challenged.
Sammy has really come into himself, and man-oh-man--- he's ALL boy! The kid has NO fear! He loves trains, trucks, sports, etc. However, if he can't find his Mr. Monkey (security blanket), it's a meltdown of all meltdowns... and yes, we looked to purchase a backup, but we can't make the commitment to spend $50 on eBay for a discontinued Monkey. Sammy will just have to learn one of many life's lessons of letting things go...
Other than that, we're settled into our new home and LOVING it! We thought it would be hard to part from our old place since we started our family there, but we haven't missed it a single day because of our "upgrade." Fingers crossed the next time we move, though, we'll be sharing the news that we're homeowners. :)
Here are some (a TON) of highlights of our lives as of late... enjoy! :)
Oh, Ky...
Older sibling attire for the kiddos... pregnancy attire for me... :)
A weekend morning adventure to Fairytale Town...
Well, I'll be in touch soon about the (almost annual) Baby Evans pool. Get your guesses ready... Due Day is rapidly approaching!! :)
Much love, everyone,

Both kiddos got their first haircuts and rocked it! :)
Our Mrs. and Mr. Potato Heads...
Dress-up, kisses for Baby, and Mr. Monkey...
Kylie's art skills... quite impressive!
Daddy-daughter Candyland...
Embraced the curves as I dressed for Shane's squadron's Annual Recognition Dinner... I'm 3-for-3 on attending pregnant. (We couldn't go last year...the only year I wasn't preggo! haha!)
Happy as can be (to have a parents' night out)!
Older sibling attire for the kiddos... pregnancy attire for me... :)
A weekend morning adventure to Fairytale Town...
Shane's grandma Marva came to visit! Love her!! :)
When Shane's on the road, the kids watch TV in our bed while I get ready. Sammy at his finest... :)
Sunday snoozing...
Bought myself about 15 minutes by giving them the phonebook... well worth the clean up!
Shane surprised me one random Monday with this lovely "Just Because" gift... :) :) :)
Both kids LOVE reading!
EASTER!! :) The kids enjoyed an indoor egg hunt (aka the candy and toys... ;)
Getting closer... :)
The nursery is nearly done... just need a couple more items and finishing touches... it's been fun preparing for the "Last*One!"
Names are picked out... we'll be throwing in some Irish-ness this go-around... :)
My view as of late...
Well, I'll be in touch soon about the (almost annual) Baby Evans pool. Get your guesses ready... Due Day is rapidly approaching!! :)
