Easter Weekend Update:)

Happy Monday my dear friends:)
I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend:) I had a great weekend but it was entirely too busy and went by entirely too fast! boo to that!! Thank you for all your suggestions on Easter Eggs and on Grandparent names:) Soo wonderful!

Here are a few things I will be blogging about this week:)

Tuesday - Easter Egg contest results and pictures of the eggs:)
Wednesday - Wordful Wed - 20 week belly picture:)


I spent the entire weekend at my parents house! Ryan was out of town Friday night so I packed up the doggies and we headed over!! We spent all day Friday shopping for lil miss Cate... I found adorable furniture I want to get for her and some adorable bedding! The bedding is from Pottery Barn kids and is the fairy princess theme! For some reason they don't have it online.. otherwise I would post a link:(
The crib is antique white and I LOVE IT:) I will post a picture of it this week...
The rocker is soo soft and fuzzy and well as much as I want to get the pink one.. we are going for the tan one.... baby two might be a boy:)

Saturday morning I went with my mom, dad, sister and brother to get pedicures:) My brother had never been and did not go without being talked into it:) But he loves his sisters and mom and so he came to appease us:)





I made the cupcakes on Saturday and they turned out darling.. they did take a little bit longer than they said they would and they did cause me to be soooo tired at the end of the day.. but I was happy with the results:)




I told Ryan my parents spoil me soo bad when I stay there with them... Friday my mom bought me an adorable new jean skirt from a pea n the pod and my dad bought me new Tory Burch Sandals and flip flops and makeup!! Wowzer mom and dad! U guys are the best.. and to top it off my dad treated us to the pedicures:) Then my mom also gave Ryan and I and Cate Easter baskets... I am very appreciative for all my parents do for Ryan and I.. we are soo blessed, in so many ways!!

Saturday night was the Easter Egg competition... more about that tomorrow:)
A few pictures that made me smile:)


I thought this picture was going to be just a normal us smiling picture.. like the one below this one.. but last minute he kissed my belly.. soo stinking cute and love it even more because it wasn't planned:)




Sunday Morning we woke up and did our Easter baskets:) Then ate breakfast and headed to church as a family! It was way fun:) We then came home and got ready for lunch and waited for Ryan's parents to arrive:) We chatted, ate, chatted, napped:) Then headed back home:) We also, got to see our adorable nephew Grant. I LOVE him.. well we LOVE him:)

Lil Catharine Isabella's basket:) Lil socks.. and a pink soft bunny:)


Ryan's basket from me... 2 polos and new swimsuit and a I LOVE DADDY bib:)


Ryan gave me new running shoes.. and they are soo stinking cute and he picked them out on his own.. I am soo impressed:)


Our baskets from my parents.. Cate's lil one is inside mine:)



Could this jacket be any cuter?
My mom got it for Cate:)














Ryan used to always have Egg Wars in his family and he brought that tradition on to my family.. my brother said.. "Ryan egg wars is the best thing you brought to this family!" HA!





Hope everyone had a wonderful and blessed Easter weekend!!!
