Easter weekend

This weekend´s weather started off really nice :) Which was awesome

for our neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt! There was TONS of people w/ their children at the baseball fields up the street.  They had grouped the hunts into different ages ( which was such a good idea), so we were all waiting in a huge circle around the egg field, 

Kate waiting patiently w/ her daddy.

And..... GOOOOOO!!!!!

But then ALL the parents went in WITH their children! So I guess we had to as well :)

Family pic :)

Gosh! Kate got sooo much stuff, she had at least 4 baskets full of treats and toys!

From both sets of grandparents and I did a spring swap (which is in the last post--oops I didn't take pictures of what I got) but it was mostly things I could give to Kate.  So I will defiantly be bringing those treats into work and get them out of my house!!!

Steven made a delicious Easter dinner :)

Also tried a new little project this weekend:

CAKE POPS!  We made too many and I have lived in my neighborhood for 2 yrs and STILL have not met everyone. So Kate and I decided to walk to all the houses were I knew there were kids to introduce ourselves and share our chickie CAKE POPS!

Later that day I had my dad take a couple pictures of Steven and I and my belly :)

They turned out okay, we only had a little bit of room on the memory card, so we didn't have much to work with. But thanks daddy! You did great!

We also had a pretty intense Kinect bowling tournament. My mom is a beast!

Then being my pregnant self, my body is changing every SINGLE day! So it was time for a new BRA!  My parents and I headed out to the mall today to do some bra shopping :)

But I found one! After at least an hour inside the dressing room with my mom

(P.S. didn't know bra shopping could be so much fun with your mom)

She even got in there and tried them on with me :)

Last but not least I got to skype with my brother and sister in-law!!

I miss them.

Spring Swap!

I joined a little spring swap last week on a friends blog-

The lovely Tammy :)

And here is what I picked out for my person:

Just a few little things: Jelly bellys! Because they are delicious and eastery right!?  Some really cute baby blue nail polish :) And a Honey Cream shea butter lip balm (I really liked the package it came in, I didn't get to test or smell it--so I just trusted my instinct) Hopefully she likes it!

I wrapped it all cute :) And well mae-mae wanted to be in the pic!

w/ a cute little note too :) aww..

AND I also got her a bag of my parents delicious FRESH ROASTED coffee

Sent from two different places, so it will be 

more exciting to get TWO packages instead of one!? Don't you think?

It was just too nice of a day to drive to the post office. So Kate and I saddled up the wagon for a nice looong walk.

Ooooo, wait!! is this the FIRST belly picture!!??

(wow 6mnths 1wk already! I hope I don't get too much bigger!)

Can't wait to see what I get in the mail!!! I will post it so everyone can see too!

VERY EXCITED!

Give the belly what IT wants!!!

Browsing babycenter.com today I came across

a recipe for twix bars! Mmmm they looked soo yummy, I decided 

to try it out.

I made a couple changes, because pretzels just 

didn't sound as good as short bread.

So here is goes,

You really only need 4 ingredients:

*Shortbread (or pretzels)

*Nutella 

*Carmel squares

*Chocolate chips 

(I used both milk & semi-sweet--gotta keep daddy happy too)

Another reason I was so excited is that I had a $10 coupon @ Safeway! Oh yeah! So I think I paid like 5 bucks. yay!

1: I laid out wax paper and then began spreading a thin layer of nutella onto the shortbread.

Kate likes to lick EVERYTHING!

2: Unwrap your carmel squares and begin to work them with your fingers.

It was tough, not going to lie! So it might be easier if you have someone else to make these with! 

3: Lay the flattened carmel on top of your cookies. AKA cookie blankies! lol

4: Put your chocolate chips into a microwave safe bowl and heat 30 sec at a time until smooth.

5: Mix well, using a fork dab a little chocolate on each side and smooth around

the edges. (your treats don't HAVE to have chocolate on the bottom, at the end I got lazy and just did tops/sides) hehe

6: Place in the fridge for about 15 min to let the chocolate harden again.

7: Enjoy!  Sea Salt/princess sprinkles optional!

But HOLY COW these are rich! I ate half of one, and really should have just eaten a quater!

And I made 30!! Uh-oh!

Who will help me eat them all!!!??
