It's a GIRL!!

Um, oops. I just realized that I haven't posted this yet, we've known for a while now. We are so excited to be having another baby girl. We don't have a name yet, so don't ask. We're really bad about waiting until we're really close before we decide on a name. We'll probably come up with a list of options and then ask people their opinions on what we should name her. That's what we did with Braden. Though, we'll pick the one that we like no matter what anyone says. It's just fun to hear everyone's opinion. Okay, now I'm rambling. Anyway, there you have it, we're having a girl. She's due on July 1st, though since I'll be having a c-section it will actually be about a week before that. I'll post as soon as we get the c-section date scheduled.

Everything's coming up tulips

Yesterday, Heather C. and I took our girls to the Woodburn Tulip Festival. 45 acres of over 100 varieties of tulips, Beautiful. It was so nice to go out together, and the girls loved all the flowers. They were also thrilled to see each other. It was also a great place for photos. I took tons of them, so brace yourself.

Easter

Yeah, I know I'm slow with my posting, but I had a lot of pictures to go through. Okay, so Easter was lots of fun, Cailyn had a great time. Poor little Braden was still sick and had a rough day, but he was a trooper and made it through without too much of a fuss, he actually slept a lot.

The night before, we went over to Jim & Heathers for egg decorating. All the Irwin's were there except for Brian and his family, so Cailyn got to see most of her Irwin cousins. She had a blast, even though you can't really tell by the look on her face.Easter morning, the kids got their Easter baskets. Cailyn knew the Easter bunny was bringing her candy so she woke up very happy. We let them eat candy for breakfast (terrible, I know), while I made some food to take to lunch/dinner. At noon, we headed back to Jim & Heathers for a full day of Easter fun. Heather had all kinds of activities planned for the kids. They had an Easter egg hunt(of course), egg races and a scavenger hunt. They also had a visit from the Easter Bunny/Peter Cottontail (aka, Uncle Jeff in a bunny suit). They called him Peter Cottontail but Cailyn only knows him as the Easter Bunny. After the activities were over the kids had lots of time to play. While the grown-ups played a card came, an Irwin classic I'm told, called Spite and Malice. I won my first round ever playing the game, I was pretty proud of myself. I played horribly after that. Beginers luck I suppose.

After cards we had a delicious meal. Heather makes awesome prime rib, super fantastic. Then there was more visiting and playing, and it was so hard to make Cailyn leave her cousins at the end of the day. Braden also got to spend some time with Grayson, his closest cousin in age. But they didn't really take much notice of each other, they're a little too young. All in all it was a great holiday for kids and parents alike. Here are some pictures of our fun filled day.

Some Easter Portraits, well the best I could get anyway. Sick baby and sugar high toddler don't make for great portraits.

Easter Egg Hunt (I love her hat). Papa Irwin helped her find the higher eggs.

Meeting the Easter Bunny, she wasn't so sure about him at first but she warmed up later on.
