This is Kate getting all excited when Daddy comes home. Needless to say daddy lights up with this type of reaction. It really is cute. I never get a reaction like this since I pick up Kate in the afternoons and usually carry her kicking and screaming to the van, because she doesn't want to leave the daycare. Without a doubt she loves her daddy. It's a good thing cause I'm sure you can all tell Kate is daddy's little girl and she has him completely wrapped around her little finger.
The video is from mid-march.

I'm so Glad When Daddy Comes home!
Easter Morning Video
Here's the video of Kate and Daddy going through her Easter basket. I guess we haven't really decided if we want her to believe that a Easter bunny delivers this to her each year or if we'll just give her a basket each year from her mom and dad. I keep going back and forth in the video about the Easter bunny coming and mom and dad bringing something. Either way it was fun to see her get more into it this year then last.
Our Easter
Easter for us started about 2 weeks ago. We went to our community Easter egg hunt. It was a very windy day with lots of other 2 year olds. We were lucky to have our good friend Cole with us, but I didn't get any pictures with him. We quickly got separated from him since everyone was scrambling to get eggs. It was a fun day, after the hunt Kate got to jump in a moon bounce, the first time through she didn't really get it but the second time through you could hardly get her to leave.

Going through their loot! She got a bracelet!
This is a picture of my very pregnant sister and my very pregnant self with my very cute new niece Violet (12 weeks) peeking through our belly's. There will be 3 new cousins all within 5 months of each other and born in 2009. If we all end up with girls I think that will be a lot of fun for these cousins. You want to know why I don't post picts of myself and this is why!
Saturday before Easter we had a family reunion at my Uncle Van's house. We got to see cousins and 2nd cousins, I think he said there were over 60 people there and over 20 kids. Uncle Van took kids on a hayride, you can barely make out Kate and Brock in this picture.
We also had an Easter Egg Hunt and Van's house, sadly this is one of the best pictures I took of Kate hunting for eggs.
Our Easter Sunday, we sorta just chilled all day which has been different from past years where we usually are traveling to visit with family. It was a nice change of pace for us. I hid Kate's basket that morning and figured after lunch I would help her find it, well right before lunch out of the corner of her eye she spotted it tucked away in the dining room, it was so funny to see her take a mad dash for her basket it was like she knew it was for her even though I never mentioned it that morning to her. Here are some of her Easter Goodies.
Finding bracelets in the eggs
Going through her eggs; that really was her favorite part of her basket, she loved opening the eggs and finding treats, she was even sharing with her daddy. I have a video of all this I'll put up in a different post. I love that Kate calls Easter eggs...sister eggs, then I've heard mister eggs and sometimes I hear Easter eggs.

Suuuuper Baby Shower!
My WONDERFUL co-worker aka Auntie Helen threw the best baby shower for me at work. Seriously she did such a fabulous job, I told her to keep it simple but in true Helen form (which is somewhat like Martha Stewart) she went all out. She arranged for another co-worker to bake the cake...yum homemade cake. She had such cute decorations up, tastie party favors, some munchies and punch.
I love this cake! It's so festive with the peeps, and the super mom-to-be cake topper is perfect for how I look and feel!
There were a couple little games: guess the gender and guess how many candies in the bottle. The wipees box is the holder for the guesses! The bouquet of flowers is from Helen's garden, the statue of the silhouette family of four holding hands is a gift from Helen, as well as the balloon weight (an insulated bottle holder). I just think it's so cute how this table is decorated.
Here I am showing off a gift I just opened, I won't post all the pictures of me opening gifts.... I promise I really am pregnant in case you didn't notice...please don't click on this picture and make it bigger.
If you click on this picture it should get bigger so you can see all the wonderful cute baby stuff I received from everyone. Many of my friends at work pitched in for a very generous gift card to Target, which always comes in handy for last minute baby needs, such as diapers, food, feeding supplies etc. The two baby outfits are from Helen, she insists that even if it's a boy he has to wear them.
You all have to see this, it's a baby rattle from the 60's maybe even earlier. Helen had collected it (it was new in the box), she opened it to use it as a gift-top decoration. I just think it's so cool and I think that it's even more special that it's been sitting around for decades waiting for the perfect baby to come along and shake it! The little lamb next to it is a pacifier holder (also from Helen). Do you all get the theme....Helen loves babies and like any good Auntie, spoils them!
I felt so showered at my baby shower, each week we get more and more excited to meet our new baby. Well I speak for Brock and I, I think Kate would tell you otherwise. She loves being an only child!
